International Differences In Support For Human Rights, Sam Mcfarland Ph. D.
International Differences In Support For Human Rights, Sam Mcfarland Ph. D.
Societies Without Borders
International differences in support for human rights are reviewed. The first of two sections reviews variations in the strength of ratification of UN human rights treaties, followed by an examination of the commonalities and relative strengths among the five regional human rights systems. This review indicates that internationally the strongest human rights support is found in Europe and the Americas, with weaker support in Africa, followed by still weaker support in the Arab Union and Southeast Asia. The second section reviews variations in responses to public opinion polls on a number of civil and economic rights. A strong coherence in …

Closing The Gap: Daca, Dapa, And U.S. Compliance With International Human Rights Law, David B. Thronson
Case Western Reserve Journal of International Law
Political rhetoric and ongoing litigation that challenge the use of prosecutorial discretion and deferred action in immigration law often prominently feature claims that these initiatives demonstrate a lack of respect for the rule of law. This short essay seeks to highlight gaps between U.S. immigration law and its international human rights obligations and identify ways in which the use of discretion can advance rather than undermine the rule of law. In reconciling the ability of States to control matters of immigration with protections of family integrity, the touchstone in international law is balance. A State's right to expel a non-citizen …

President Obama's Legacy: The Iran Nuclear Agreement?, Milena Sterio
Case Western Reserve Journal of International Law
Iran, the United States, and several world super-powers signed a historic nuclear agreement over the summer of 2015.

Insiderness, Outsiderness, And Situated Accessibility – How Women Activists Navigate Un’S Commission On The Status Of Women, Daniela Jauk
Societies Without Borders
The goal of this article is to explain micro-political aspects of women’s participation within the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) by explicating how NonGovernmental Organization’s (NGO) representatives negotiate and perceive their work. Data from ethnographic participant observation of CSW meetings between 2009 and 2012 demonstrate the simultaneity of both clear insider/outsider distinctions as well as blurred and permeable boundaries between the intergovernmental body of the CSW and civil society in the form of women’s rights activists who attempt to shape CSW outcomes. Concepts of fluid insiderness and outsiderness (Naples 1996) help explain that women activists perceive themselves simultaneously …

Linking Disability Rights And Democracy: Insights From Brazil, Lyusyena Kirakosyan
Societies Without Borders
This article explores the purport and portent of the 2006 United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) for disabled Brazilians. The analysis proceeds in three stages. First, it traces the evolution of the Convention as the culmination of a 30-year dialogue between the UN, governments and civil society organizations worldwide. As a legally binding instrument, the UNCRPD enables disabled citizens and interested civil society organizations to hold signatory states accountable for the protection and furtherance of disability rights. Second, the article examines how the Brazilian government came to adopt the Convention and how it has implemented …
