Orwell's Prophecies: The Limits Of Liberty And The Limits Of Law, Julian Symons
Orwell's Prophecies: The Limits Of Liberty And The Limits Of Law, Julian Symons
Dalhousie Law Journal
Let me say something first about the scope of this talk. As we approach 1984, George Orwell's book with that title seems to have increasing relevancy. It was not intended as a prophetic work - the very title came simply from the fact that the final version was completed in 1948, so that the last two numerals were reversed. And it was concerned less with conjectural futures than with the world Orwell saw around him. It was, he said, a projection of what might happen if totalitarian tendencies in several countries developed as they had been doing in the years …
European Integration Through Fundamental Rights, Jochen Abr. Frowein
European Integration Through Fundamental Rights, Jochen Abr. Frowein
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
The conception of fundamental rights as natural rights of human beings developed in European legal thinking mainly in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. John Locke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and also Immanuel Kant should be mentioned. But it was in the new world that the principles of fundamental human rights were first put into practice. A little more than ten years after the first American declarations, the "Declaration des droits de l'homme et du citoyen" was adopted in Paris; it remains part of French constitutional law today. But, unlike the development in the United States, the French guarantees could not be enforced …

Defining Filartiga: Characterizing International Torture Claims In United States Courts, John Paul George
Defining Filartiga: Characterizing International Torture Claims In United States Courts, John Paul George
Penn State International Law Review
Filartiga v. Pena-Irala is the paradigm for studying private torture claims against foreign officials in the United States. As the paradigm, the Filartiga action must be succinctly defined. This will assist inquiries into its judicial jurisdiction and choice of law, and it will make Filartiga-type cases more understandable and therefore more acceptable to critics. This discussion is limited to the assertion of personal jurisdiction over a foreign official for a private torture claim brought in the United States. Although this analysis is focused narrowly on Filartiga, it is designed to enhance understanding of future torture claims as well.

Prior Consent And The United Nations Human Rights Instruments, Walter E. Spiegel
Prior Consent And The United Nations Human Rights Instruments, Walter E. Spiegel
Michigan Journal of International Law
After reviewing the legal framework of an international right of freedom of information, this article examines United States opposition to prior consent in the context of the human rights provisions. It contends that the United States should not argue that any recognition of a right of prior consent is inconsistent with Article 19, but rather that international principles recognize a right of prior consent limited to certain types of programming. The article then considers arguments for the Third World position of strict prior consent concluding that, in addition to being inconsistent with the general intent of Article 19, strict prior …
Jamming And The Law Of International Communications, Rochelle B. Price
Jamming And The Law Of International Communications, Rochelle B. Price
Michigan Journal of International Law
The Soviet Union began to jam Western radio broadcasts to the Soviet Union in 1948. Jamming has continued to be a problem since then, though not a constant one; over the years, the level of jamming has varied in relation to East-West tensions but more particularly in consonance with internal and external crises. As the post-war international debate concerned with virtually all aspects of modem communications has evolved, jamming has become one focus of the free flow of information- national sovereignty debate. Though seldom completely effective, jamming is a sufficiently large-scale and controversial practice to warrant international attention today, as …
