Dangerous Undertones Of The New Nativism: Peter Brimelow And The Decline Of The West, Daniel Kanstroom

Daniel Kanstroom

Nativism - an intense opposition to immigrants and other non-native members of society - has been deeply imbedded in the American character from the earliest days of the nation. Dating from the Alien and Sedition controversy of 1798 to California's recent Proposition 187, nativism has long been a driving force in policy making, a particular irony in a country founded and populated by immigrants.

This anthology of original, specially commissioned essays is informed at its core by George Santayana's famous edict that "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." Examining the current surge in nativism in …

Christians V. Crystal Evangelical Free Church: Interpreting Rfra In The Battle Among God, The Government, And The Bankruptcy Code, Susan Franck

Susan D. Franck

In the past, religious debtors have used the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) to tithe to their churches at a time when they were insolvent and questions have arisen whether these tithes are fraudulent transfers, which should be repatriated to the bankruptcy estate for the benefit of all creditors. This case comment analyzes the first circuit court opinion to evaluate the intersection of religious tithing, bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance law and RFRA. In light of the doubts as to RFRA's constitutionality, this comment argues for a narrow interpretation of RFRA and, when determining the scope of free exercise protection, courts should …

Civil Rights During The 1990'S: New Treaty Law Could Help Immensely, Connie De La Vega

Connie de la Vega

This article argues that ratification by the United States of two major international human rights treaties (the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Racial Discrimination (CERD)) should have an impact on civil rights issues in this country. It contends that although many of the rights enumerated in the treaties are similar to those provided for in state and federal constitutions and statutes, there are many areas where the treaty clauses are more protective of individuals' rights. It also asserts that even though the United States ratified both treaties …

General Principles Of Law, 'Soft Law' And The Identification Of International Law, Olufemi Elias, Chin Leng Lim

Chin Leng Lim

Treaties and custom are generally regarded as the major sources of international law. They derive their validity more or less directly from the consent of those subjects of the law which also possess the institutional authority to make law. The perceived limitations of the consensual nature of these two sources have resulted in doctrinal controversy concerning, inter alia, the existence of sources of international law which are not essentially consensual. This is the rationale for the inclusion of general principles of law recognised by civilised nations alongside treaties and customary international law in Article 38 of the Statute of the …
