States Of Emergency - Moderating Their Effects On Human Rights, Venkat Iyer

There has been a runaway proliferation of emergency regimes worldwide in recent decades.

The author evaluates the various measures that have been taken by the international community to moderate the effects of emergencies, and outlines possible future strategies to increase the effectiveness of such measures.

Anticipatory Humanitarian Intervention In Kosovo, Jonathan I. Charney
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
The intervention by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in Kosovo during the spring of 1999 aroused controversy at the time and still provokes questions about the legality of the action, its precedential effect, and procedures for developing new international law. The participants faced a legal and moral dilemma between international law prohibitions on the use of force and the goal of preventing or stopping widespread grave violations of international human rights. This commentary seeks to chart a course for the future in light of the current legal and moral environment.
Many individuals on all sides of the Kosovo crisis …

Liberty Of Expression In Ireland And The Need For A Constitutional Law Of Defamation, Sarah Frazier
Liberty Of Expression In Ireland And The Need For A Constitutional Law Of Defamation, Sarah Frazier
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
Judicial and constitutional conservatism have allowed Irish defamation law to remain remarkably close to its English common law origins. But the common law of defamation was not designed for a modem democracy with a free press, and Ireland's libel laws have a profound effect upon freedom of expression. If Ireland is to be a modern democracy, as its constitution asserts that it is, and the European Convention on Human Rights demands, it must protect a core area of free expression in order to allow the press (without the fear of repercussion) to keep the public informed about matters of concern. …

Such a comparison enables the wealth of experience that codification of rights in civil law countries can provide in comparison to the traditionally lower reliance on statutory protection in common law jurisdictions. From this comparative analysis common themes are distilled, as well as differences between New Zealand and various civil law and common law nations with respect to the legal position and state of taxpayers' rights.

Africa And Her Charter On Human And Peoples' Rights -Notyet "Ominira", Thomas Adeoye Olugbemiga Fawole
LLM Theses and Essays
It is in the light of the foregoing that we intend in this thesis to examine the state of human rights in Africa. It would be the province of the thesis to find out how far the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights has enhanced the independence of the various African countries and improved on the quality of the rights enjoyed by the citizenry. While Chapter 2 deals with human rights in precolonial Africa, human rights in "modern day" Africa, i.e. from the colonial era, are dealt with in Chapter 5. Treating human rights under colonial rule and human …
