States As International Law-Breakers: Discrimination Against Immigrants And Welfare Reform, Elizabeth Landry
States As International Law-Breakers: Discrimination Against Immigrants And Welfare Reform, Elizabeth Landry
Washington Law Review
As part of the current "devolution revolution," policy makers at the state and federal levels are designing proposals that would permit states to discriminate on the basis of immigration status in determining eligibility for public education, medical care, social services, and cash assistance. This Comment asserts that such proposals violate international human rights norms, by which both federal and state governments are bound. Mbreover, it maintains that legislators must consider international law when crafting proposals that would allow discrimination on the basis of alienage. If they fail to do so, courts are obliged to intervene and ensure that treaty provisions …

The Canadian Charter And Public International Law: Redefining The State's Power To Deport Aliens, Daniela Bassan
The Canadian Charter And Public International Law: Redefining The State's Power To Deport Aliens, Daniela Bassan
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
This article considers the relationship between international and domestic law in deportation proceedings. The argument is made that, generally, Canadian law should be interpreted consistently with Canada's obligations at international law, as reflected in conventions and custom. More specifically, the article proposes that Canada's obligation at international law to protect the family and the child be recognized in Canadian law as one of the principles of fundamental justice under section 7 of the Charter. The protection of the family is engaged by the deportation of domiciled aliens because, by definition, these deportees have been in Canada for a long period …

The Right To Stay, Patrick M. Mcfadden
The Right To Stay, Patrick M. Mcfadden
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
People often fight for their homes. Once established, homes are vital centers of life, and their threatened loss generates predictable resistance. This Article shows how the human desire not to be moved is protected by the law. Such protection can be found in both U.S. domestic and international law, although the two systems of law vary widely in their approach. Since World War II, international scholars and lawmakers have been deeply concerned with promoting the legal rights of people to leave and return to their own countries. This Article emphasizes a different, but equally important right: the right of people, …

Granting Political Asylum To Potential Victims Of Female Circumcision, Gregory A. Kelson
Granting Political Asylum To Potential Victims Of Female Circumcision, Gregory A. Kelson
Michigan Journal of Gender & Law
Part I of this article examines two cases. In one case, a United States immigration court allowed female circumcision as a defense to deportation. In another case, the Canadian Immigration and Refugee Board granted political asylum after recognizing female circumcision as a form of persecution. Part II assesses the extent of protections currently provided for potential victims of female circumcision under U.S. asylum law and analyzes the factors that a court should consider when making asylum determinations. Part III recommends that gender should be added to the enumerated grounds for persecution under U.S. asylum law. This section provides a hypothetical …

The Marlboro Man In Asia: U.S. Tobacco And Human Rights, Jonathan Wike

This Note discusses the legal implications of U.S. tobacco marketing in Asia, particularly the disadvantages faced by Asians who might wish to challenge U.S. tobacco manufacturers in court. The author first describes tobacco promotion In Asia and the limited potential for recovery against U.S. tobacco companies by Asian plaintiffs in their domestic courts.
