Reforming, Reclaiming Or Reframing Womanhood: Reflections On Advocacy For Women In Custody, Brenda V. Smith
Project on Addressing Prison Rape - Articles
Brenda V. Smith was asked to present one of the keynote addresses for the symposium, Behind Bars: The Impact of Incarceration on Women and Their Families, sponsored by the Women's Rights Law Reporter at Rutgers University School of Law in Newark. She then wrote the introductory essay for the publication which arose from that symposium. This essay addresses why it is imperative to reclaim the discourse about women in prison and discusses how the other papers that appear in this issue aid in that project.
Reparations: A Comparative Perspective, Fernanda G. Nicola
Reparations: A Comparative Perspective, Fernanda G. Nicola
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
This article focuses on the treatment of reparations in recent jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) and the European Court of Justice (ECJ). In the so-called “prisoner cases,” Assanidze v. Georgia and Ilascu and Others v. Moldova and Russia, the ECHR moved beyond its previously limited approach to reparations by finding that continued detention of the lawsuit applicants would entail a prolonged violation of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and then asking the States to immediately release the prisoners. The author then turns to ECJ immigration cases Zhu v. Sec’y of …
Reparations Of The Inter-American Human Rights System In Cases Of Gross And Systemic Violations Of Human Rights: The Colombian Case, Diego Rodriguez-Pinzon
Reparations Of The Inter-American Human Rights System In Cases Of Gross And Systemic Violations Of Human Rights: The Colombian Case, Diego Rodriguez-Pinzon
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
The author uses the case of Colombia, a country with which the inter-American human rights system has dealt in the last twenty-five years, as an example to try to illustrate how the Inter-American Human Rights Commission and Inter-American Court for Human Rights have balanced the issue of remedies and reparations with the difficult task of repairing gross and systematic violations. The case of Colombia provides some insight on how international mechanisms are implemented in this region and, particularly, how some of Colombia’s official institutions and non-governmental organizations are trying to engage in a dialogue at the international level in order …
Reparations: A Remedies Law Perspective, Darren L. Hutchinson
Reparations: A Remedies Law Perspective, Darren L. Hutchinson
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
This article provides a general overview of reparations discourse in the United States and offers suggestions concerning how advocates of reparations might frame their claims. The author discusses how remedies law might be a useful means of redress for litigants and examines some of the political and legal barriers to reparations in the United States. The barriers include the failure of opponents to treat remedies for gross human rights or civil rights deprivations as a public good, rather than as a series of private transactions that benefit or burden individuals. The author ultimately sets the litigation model aside as providing …

The Cost Of Confusion: Resolving Ambiguities In Detainee Treatment, Kenneth Anderson
Reports
This short policy paper considers US counterterrorism policy with particular attention to treatment of detainees in matters of challenging detention, interrogation, trial of detainees, and release.

The paper is written by two experts and advocates in counterterrorism-related issues, coming from the center right and the center left in American politics, as part of a project of the Stanley Foundation, Bridging the Foreign Policy Divide, which publishes papers by pairs of experts coming from conservative and progressive …

U.S. Counterterrorism Policy And Superpower Compliance With International Human Rights Norms, Kenneth Anderson
U.S. Counterterrorism Policy And Superpower Compliance With International Human Rights Norms, Kenneth Anderson
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
This essay, originally prepared for a symposium on Guantanamo and international law, provides an brief overview of the elements that a comprehensive US counterterrorism should encompass. This overview is set against the question of how the US, as the world's superpower, ought to address its international law obligations. The essay then sets that question against the still-further question of what it means to be the superpower in a world that some believe is gradually evolving into a multipolar world, but which is currently a world of a conjoined US-international global system of security.
The essay defends the concept of counterterrorism …
American Husbandry: Legal Norms Impacting The Production Of (Re)Productivity, Camille Nelson
American Husbandry: Legal Norms Impacting The Production Of (Re)Productivity, Camille Nelson
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
This article concentrates on the normative legal structure that established complete control over female slaves by sanctioning their subjugation to further slaveholders’ profit maximization and social domination. The criminal law sanctioned the rape of slave women, and the legal doctrine of partus sequitur ventrem mandated that the legal status of children born to slave women was determined by the mother’s legal status. The slave master derived an economic benefit from ensuring slave women had as many children as possible. This system ensured that slave women held no legally protected autonomy over their own bodies or over their own offspring.

Lou Henkin, Transitional Justice And The Prevention Of Genocide, Juan Mendez
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
INTRODUCTION: It's an immense honor and a privilege to have been invited to participate in a tribute to Lou Henkin. Even if that were not the occasion, just the honor of sharing a panel with Judge Barkett and with Dean Koh is enough to overwhelm anybody and it does overwhelm me. I hope you will sympathize with me for having to follow them. It is especially overwhelming because as I look around the room, I see so many people who are much more deserving than I am to be here and to be honored in the way you have honored …
