The Forty-Third Session Of The Un Sub-Commission On Prevention Of Discrimination And Protection Of Minorities: The Sub-Commission Under Scrutiny, Karen Reierson, David Weissbrodt

Articles

Throughout 1988, the United Nations celebrated the fortieth anniversary of its seminal human rights instrument, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.' At its August 1988 session the Sub-Commission on the Prevention of Discrimination and the Protection of Minorities2 (hereinafter the Sub- Commission) noted a similar milestone in its history; it met for the fortieth time since its creation in 1947. While the fortieth anniversary of the Dec- laration has inspired self-congratulatory activities throughout the United Nations, the 1988 session of the Sub-Commission was marked more by self- evaluation. The Sub-Commission has been engaged in a process of taking stock of …

Pursuing Justice In An Unjust World: Arjuna In America, Marc Galanter Jan 1992

Pursuing Justice In An Unjust World: Arjuna In America, Marc Galanter

Cleveland State Law Review

The knowledge that emerges from research is not automatically translated into policy, but becomes part of a political struggle. But deepening that struggle by challenging our understandings and liberating us from false problems and false solutions is one of the things that law schools can do for justice. The quest for justice is a political quest. In his stirring essay, ‘Politics as a Vocation,’ surely one of the most profound examinations of the nature of political action, Max Weber tells us that the political vocation demands passion, responsibility and something more: "... the decisive psychological quality of the Politician [is] …

Infomercials, Deceptive Advertising And The Federal Trade Commission, W.H. Ramsay Lewis Jan 1992

Infomercials, Deceptive Advertising And The Federal Trade Commission, W.H. Ramsay Lewis

Fordham Urban Law Journal

Recently, there has been growing concern among consumers, broadcasters and the Federal Trade Commission that infomercials may be a form of deceptive advertising. This note applies Federal Trade Commission guidelines to the infomercial format and concludes that infomercials are precariously close to violating commonly held standards for deceptive advertising. This note advocates that the Federal Trade Commission promulgate new standards requiring infomercials to identify themselves to consumers at all times as paid advertisements, so as to reduce the risk of consumers being unfairly fooled by advertisers.

This Comment seeks to examine the implications of media ecology models for the past, present, and possible future of obscenity doctrine.

Shared Interests: Promoting Healthy Births Without Sacrificing Women's Liberty, Dawn Johnsen Jan 1992

Shared Interests: Promoting Healthy Births Without Sacrificing Women's Liberty, Dawn Johnsen

UC Law Journal

In recent years, legislatures, courts, and state prosecutors increasingly have sought to impose special restrictions on women who choose to bear children. While the government certainly has a legitimate interest in promoting the birth of healthier babies, the specific policies implemented in pursuit of this laudable goal pose a significant and growing threat to women's fundamental liberties. In this Article Ms. Johnsen examines the relative merit of two models of governmental action aimed at women: the adversarial model, which treats the woman and the fetus as distinct legal entities having adverse interests; and the facilitative model, which recognizes that women …


Where Have You Gone, Karl Llewellyn - Should Congress Turn Its Lonely Eyes To You, Stephen F. Ross Jan 1992

Where Have You Gone, Karl Llewellyn - Should Congress Turn Its Lonely Eyes To You, Stephen F. Ross

Faculty Scholarship

The purpose of this paper is to explore what, if anything, Congress should do about the canons of statutory construction to prevent judges who are more conservative (or perhaps, in a future era, more progressive) than the majority of the legislature from employing those canons to distort or frustrate legislative policy preferences.


Hiv And The Need For A Voluntarist Approach, David A. Hansell, Esq. Jan 1992

Hiv And The Need For A Voluntarist Approach, David A. Hansell, Esq.

Fordham Urban Law Journal

After a decade of fighting AIDS, the public health community has come to recognize that strategies to combat the infection must be premised on voluntarism and not on coercion. Attempts to combat AIDS with coercive public health strategies stem from a desire to force AIDS into an ill-fitting traditional disease-response framework, overlooking the differences between HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases, including the limitations in available treatment modalities for HIV. A return to such a cramped, narrowly-medicalized view of the AIDS epidemic has enormous social implications and a coercive strategy would frustrate efforts to stem the spread of the disease. …
