Female Genital Mutilation And Designer Vaginas In Britain: Crafting An Effective Legal And Policy Framework, Lisa Avalos
Female Genital Mutilation And Designer Vaginas In Britain: Crafting An Effective Legal And Policy Framework, Lisa Avalos
Lisa Avalos
The prevalence of female genital mutilation (FGM) in Britain and Europe has grown in recent years as a result of international migration, and European institutions have grown increasingly concerned with eradicating the practice. According to the European Parliament, approximately 500,000 girls and women living in Europe have undergone FGM and are suffering with the lifelong consequences of the procedure, and more than 30,000 girls in Britain are thought to be at risk of future FGM. Although Britain strengthened its law against FGM in 2003, the number of girls at risk continues to grow, and there have been no convictions for …

Presentation Slides - Have Impoverished Families Been Guaranteed The Right To Adequate Food In The Legal Amazon Region?, Claudia Ribeiro Pereira Nunes
Claudia Ribeiro Pereira Nunes
Brazil is one of the largest food-exporting countries in the world. The economic development of the country depends on the export of food. On the other hand, the Brazilian Federal Constitution guarantees the Adequate Food Right to the Brazilian population and was created the National Food and Nutrition Security. Against this background, in which the foods has dual aspect - law and economic development instrument, the overall aim of the research is to investigate whether there is food and nutrition security, specially to the single-parent families headed by women from 18 to 25 years, with the least 3 or 4 …
“Impoverished Families” Have Been Guaranteed The Human Right To Adequate Food In The Brazilian Legal Amazon Region, Claudia Ribeiro Pereira Nunes
“Impoverished Families” Have Been Guaranteed The Human Right To Adequate Food In The Brazilian Legal Amazon Region, Claudia Ribeiro Pereira Nunes
Claudia Ribeiro Pereira Nunes
As one of the largest food-exporting countries in the world, Brazil’s economic development is dependent on this commercial activity. The Brazilian Federal Constitution guarantees the Human Right to Adequate Food for the Brazilian population created by the National Food and Nutrition Security Act. Against this background, in which food has a dual aspect – as a law and economic development instrument – the hypothesis is to investigate whether there is adequate food and nutrition security for single-parent families headed by women from 18 to 25 years of age, with at least 3 to 4 children and receive a State income …
Dissecting The Claims Of Legitimization For The Ritual Of Female Circumcision Or Female Genital Mutilation (Fgm), Muhammad Munir Dr
Dissecting The Claims Of Legitimization For The Ritual Of Female Circumcision Or Female Genital Mutilation (Fgm), Muhammad Munir Dr
Dr. Muhammad Munir
This work analyses the various arguments put forward by the supporters of female genital mutilation (FGM) under Islamic law to determine whether this practice has its roots in Islam, whether it is a customary or cultural tradition, or whether it is a matter of personal preference in different parts of the Muslim world where the practice exists. The findings of this work are that the arguments given in support of FGM are either not reliable, are weak or, do not order Muslims to carry out this practice. Instead, this horrific practice is rooted in customary-cum-cultural tradition or, is a matter …

Reconstructing Constitutional Punishment, Paulo D. Barrozo
Reconstructing Constitutional Punishment, Paulo D. Barrozo
Paulo Barrozo
Constitutional orders punish — and they punish abundantly. However, analysis of the constitutionality of punishment tends to be reactive, focusing on constitutional violations. Considered in this light, the approach to constitutional punishment rests on conditions of unconstitutionality rather than proactively on the constitutional foundations of punishment as a legitimate liberal-democratic practice. Reactive approaches are predominantly informed by moral theories about the conditions under which punishment is legitimate. In contrast, proactive approaches call for a political theory of punishment as a legitimate practice of polities. This Article integrates the reactive and proactive approaches by bridging the divide between moral and political …
Discrimination In Customer Segmentation Marketing Practices, Jude A. Thomas
Discrimination In Customer Segmentation Marketing Practices, Jude A. Thomas
Jude A Thomas
Customer segmentation is a powerful analytical marketing practice that is employed by a wide range of businesses to segregate customers with similar characteristics into subgroups in order to inform operational business processes. Such practices allow firms to better allocate their resources in order to form more profitable customer relationships, but they also have the capacity to lead to unfair discriminatory impact upon customer groups. Current legislation is largely unprotective of customers so positioned, but recent trends in the insurance and lending industries suggest that a broader application of anti-discrimination laws could foretell a future of greater restrictions on the implementation …
Human Rights, Women, And Third World Development, Winston E. Langley
Human Rights, Women, And Third World Development, Winston E. Langley
Winston E. Langley
As part of the effort to inaugurate a new international socio-political order after World War II, international emphasis was given to certain moral and legal entitlements we have come to call human rights. That emphasis initially found its most forceful expression in the Charter of the United Nations, which not only asserts its members' faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, as well as in the equal rights of men and women of all nations, but also recites its members' commitment to employ international machinery for the promotion of the social and economic …
From Kiobel Back To Structural Reform: The Hidden Legacy Of Holocaust Restitution Litigation, Leora Bilsky, Rodger D. Citron, Natalie R. Davidson
From Kiobel Back To Structural Reform: The Hidden Legacy Of Holocaust Restitution Litigation, Leora Bilsky, Rodger D. Citron, Natalie R. Davidson
Rodger Citron
This paper offers a new approach to the issue of transnational corporate liability for human rights violations and more generally an inquiry into the place of domestic legal experiences in theorizing about transnational law. Grounded in a study of the Holocaust restitution litigation of the 1990s, we explain corporate liability as a type of bureaucratic liability and explore in depth the relationship between the Holocaust litigation and the theory of structural reform litigation developed in the U.S. to address the bureaucratic structure of rights violations. We read the restitution litigation in light of pluralist reformulations of structural reform, in which …

Does Customary International Law Obligate States To Extradite Or Prosecute Individuals Accused Of Committing Crimes Against Humanity?, Eveylon Cw Mack
Does Customary International Law Obligate States To Extradite Or Prosecute Individuals Accused Of Committing Crimes Against Humanity?, Eveylon Cw Mack
Eveylon CW Mack
The effort to establish a Convention on Crimes Against Humanity (CAH) has gained support at the U.N. International Law Commission. Proponents of a CAH Convention assert that the lack of a treaty addressing inter-State cooperation promotes impunity for international crimes that are particularly egregious and are prohibited as norms recognized as jus cogens. In order to avoid safe havens for those who commit CAH, many CAH Convention proponents advocate for inclusion of an obligation to extradite or prosecute an offender that turns up in a State party’s territory. They assert that the inclusion of such an obligation is particularly important …

"T.I.A" - This Is Africa - So Why The Icc?, Fletcher Miles
"T.I.A" - This Is Africa - So Why The Icc?, Fletcher Miles
Fletcher V Miles Mr
Since its creation the International Criminal Court (“ICC”) has been under scrutiny and repeatedly criticised for judicial failure and imperial arrogance. At the heart of this criticism is the simple fact that the ICC prosecution list is made up exclusively of African states, which demonstrates a clear bias towards the African continent.
This paper addresses the key factors causing perceptions of bias while considering the extreme difficulties faced by the ICC in operating a judicial body within a politically driven international community. Fundamental issues introduce the background of the bias such as funding distribution, the skew of ICC jurisdiction, colonialism …
Refuge From Climate Change-Related Harm: Evaluating The Scope Of International Protection Following New Zealand’S Teitiota Judgment, Matthew Scott
Refuge From Climate Change-Related Harm: Evaluating The Scope Of International Protection Following New Zealand’S Teitiota Judgment, Matthew Scott
Matthew Scott
Extreme weather events have the potential to cause serious harm and can contribute to displacement. Such events are expected to increase in frequency and/or intensity as a consequence of climate change. It is therefore of concern that there is widely considered to be a protection gap when affected individuals cross an international border. However, apart from a handful of cases in Australia and New Zealand, the contours of this perceived gap have seldom been tested in practice. Most recently, the High Court of New Zealand in Teitiota v Chief Executive of the Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment described a …

Privacy In Public: “Google Glass” And “Creepshots”, Subhajit Basu
Privacy In Public: “Google Glass” And “Creepshots”, Subhajit Basu
Subhajit Basu
This article looks at two interrelated issues that we will be confronting since the invention of “Google Glass”. First, the development of a particular technology that is inevitable and sometimes autonomous and, second, potential victims of that innovation. I argue that the expansion of a technology like “Google Glass”, in particular the use of this technology for taking “creepshots”, blurs the line between what is considered public and private. “Creepshots” are covertly taken sexually indicative photographs, mostly of women, which are posted online without consent. In fact, it is the lack of consent that is the crucial component for a …

California Egg Toss - The High Costs Of Avoiding Unenforceable Surrogacy Contracts, Jennifer Jackson
Jennifer Jackson
In an emotionally charged decision regarding surrogacy contracts, it is important to recognize the ramifications, costs, and policy. There are advantages to both “gestational carrier surrogacy” contracts and “traditional surrogacy” contracts. However, this paper focuses on the differences between these contracts using case law. Specifically, this paper will focus on the implications of California case law regarding surrogacy contracts. Cases such as Johnson v. Calvert and In Re Marriage of Moschetta provide a clear distinction between these contracts. This distinction will show that while gestational carrier surrogacy contracts are more expensive, public policy and court opinions will provide certainty and …
