State Regulation Of Sexuality In International Human Rights Law And Theory, Aaron Xavier Fellmeth
State Regulation Of Sexuality In International Human Rights Law And Theory, Aaron Xavier Fellmeth
William & Mary Law Review
In Part I, this Article presents the first published, worldwide survey of international practice in interpreting and applying various international human rights norms to the issue of sexual freedom, with a special emphasis on the rights to privacy, family life, and freedom from arbitrary discrimination based on sexual orientation. Although progress toward general recognition of such rights by international authorities and states has been extremely rapid over a very short period, such recognition continues to vary geographically and according to the subject matter.

Adolescents Under International Law: Autonomy As The Key To Reproductive Health, Aliya Haider
Adolescents Under International Law: Autonomy As The Key To Reproductive Health, Aliya Haider
William & Mary Journal of Race, Gender, and Social Justice
As a matter of policy, the reproductive and sexual health of adolescents matter because they comprise almost one half of the world's population. As a matter of international human rights law, adolescents have reproductive and sexual health rights. This article outlines how the international community must ensure adolescents' access to and exercise of those reproductive health rights.

Without laws and policies that uphold adolescent health worldwide, future generations will needlessly suffer.

The Domestic Incorporation Of Human Rights Law And The United Nations Convention On The Rights Of Persons With Disabilities, Janet E. Lord, Michael Ashley Stein
Faculty Publications
This Article reviews the processes by which domestic-level transposition of international human rights norms may occur as a consequence of human rights treaty ratification, or other means of incorporation. Specifically, we consider the transformative vision of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD or Convention) as a vehicle for fostering national-level disability law and policy changes. In doing so, we outline the challenges and opportunities presented by this new phase in disability rights advocacy, and we draw conclusions that bear generally upon human rights practice and scholarship. We contend that the role of human rights in domestic …
