The United States And Economic And Social Rights: Past, Present…And Future?, Daniel J. Whelan
The United States And Economic And Social Rights: Past, Present…And Future?, Daniel J. Whelan
Human Rights & Human Welfare
There is probably no other topic in the field of human rights that is more difficult to talk about clearly than economic and social rights. The language surrounding economic and social goods as rights claims is often muddled and confusing, lacks precision, and is difficult to grasp. What does it mean, for example, to have a right to the “highest attainable standard of mental and physical health,” for example? What is “highest”? What about “attainable standard”? What is included in “mental and physical health?” Should health care be free-of-charge? Should the state provide it? Would we have to go court …
Human Rights And The War On Terror: Introduction, Jack Donnelly
Human Rights And The War On Terror: Introduction, Jack Donnelly
Human Rights & Human Welfare
War rarely is good for human rights. The decision of the United States to launch a “global war on terror” in response to the suicide airplane bombings in New York and Washington has had predictably negative human rights consequences. In combating a tiny network of violent political extremists, human rights have in various ways, both intentional and unintentional, been restricted, infringed, violated, ignored, and trampled in many countries, sometimes severely.
Profitable Proposals: Explaining And Addressing The Mail-Order Bride Industry Through International Human Rights Law, Vanessa Brocato
Profitable Proposals: Explaining And Addressing The Mail-Order Bride Industry Through International Human Rights Law, Vanessa Brocato
San Diego International Law Journal
This Article looks at the MOBI in the United States through the lens of international human rights. Part II will describe the MOBI. Part III will evaluate the MOBI within an international human rights framework. Part IV will examine current U.S. legislation relating to the MOBI. Part V suggests strategies for addressing the MOBI. Nations will not be able to solve the problem independently because the MOBI is a transnational phenomenon. Conducting a critique of marriage brokers in a human rights context can help place problems caused by the MOBI at the forefront of international debate. Applying current human rights …

New England Journal of Public Policy
In this and the next issue of the New England Journal of Public Policy we will look at issues of war in the twentieth century; at how the nature and purpose of war have changed; at how evil stalks the human condition, how we forget, most likely because we want to forget. Some truths are too terrible to bear. They require us to ask questions of ourselves that our psyches are not equipped to answer and so they close down for the sake of our survival. Had we slaughtered dumb animals in the manner in which we slaughtered ourselves during …
Wives For Sale: The Modern International Mail-Order Bride Industry, Kathryn A. Lloyd
Wives For Sale: The Modern International Mail-Order Bride Industry, Kathryn A. Lloyd
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
This comment begins by discussing the mail-order bride industry in the context of international human trafficking, focusing on traffic between the United States and the Philippines, and includes an overview of the current regulations that exist regarding this industry. It then gives an overview of the major criticisms of the mail-order bride industry, the international problems created by the practice of trafficking women as brides, and the failure of current regulations in the United States and the Philippines (or the lack thereof) to address these problems. Finally, this comment calls for international regulation that would begin to address these problems, …
Human Rights V. Extradition: The Soering Case, Stephan Breitenmoser, Gunter E. Wilms
Human Rights V. Extradition: The Soering Case, Stephan Breitenmoser, Gunter E. Wilms
Michigan Journal of International Law
The European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms is widely regarded as the most dynamic and effective of the various international human rights instruments. Its impact on the judiciary of the twenty-three Western European Member States, as well as its pace-setting role for other international mechanisms for the protection of human rights, has recently been confirmed by the unanimous judgment of the European Court of Human Rights in Soering v. United Kingdom. In its judgment delivered on July 7, 1989, the Court held that the United Kingdom would act in violation of article 3 of …
Prurient Interest And Human Dignity: Pornography Regulation In West Germany And The United States, Mathias Reimann
Prurient Interest And Human Dignity: Pornography Regulation In West Germany And The United States, Mathias Reimann
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
This Article examines the regulation of pornography in West Germany and compares it to regulation in the United States. Part I provides an overview of the legal framework- constitutional and statutory-of pornography regulation in West Germany. Part II then traces the evolution of the concept of human dignity as a standard for defining pornography in West Germany, and Part III illustrates the practical impact of the idea in two widely debated recent cases. Part IV argues that West Germany's human dignity approach to pornography regulation raises important questions about how to view pornography, but that cultural and constitutional differences between …
The Teaching Of International Human Rights In U.S. Law Schools, Richard B. Lillich
The Teaching Of International Human Rights In U.S. Law Schools, Richard B. Lillich
Antioch Law Journal
The teaching of international human rights law in U.S. law schools has come a long way in the past two decades. Twenty years ago a survey conducted by the American Society of International Law made no mention of the subject. I In 1965, the late Egon Schwelb, "Mr. Human Rights," in what he himself characterized as a "novel departure,"2 offered a seminar on "The International Protection of Human Rights" at Yale. During the next half-dozen years, similar offerings were made available at California (Berkeley), Harvard, Virginia, and several other institutions. By 1971, when a panel at the annual meeting of …
Legal And Political Considerations Of The United States' Ratification Of The Genocide Convention, Jay Rosenthal
Legal And Political Considerations Of The United States' Ratification Of The Genocide Convention, Jay Rosenthal
Antioch Law Journal
On December 11, 1948, the United States officially signed the United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (hereinafter the Convention).1 The Convention was sent to the Senate as part of the ratification process for the advice and consent of two-thirds of the Senators present and voting. 2 But the Senate declined to give advice and consent to the Convention, and has maintained that position for over thirty-six years. Ninety-six countries have now deposited their instruments of ratification with the United Nations, making them parties to the Convention. The United States is not a party. …
