Conflict Between Declared Roma Minority Rights And European Practice: Why The Legal Framework Doesn’T Work In Reality, Alenka Kuhelj
Loyola of Los Angeles International and Comparative Law Review
Roma in Europe continue to be victims of racial discrimination, xenophobia and intolerance. Despite formal legal efforts and declarations from the European Union (EU), the European Council, and EU member states where large numbers of Roma reside, real shifts have yet to occur. This article will attempt to elucidate the factors underlying the actual lack of improvement or even stagnation of Roma, as well as determine who is responsible for the situation in Europe, where a policy of publicly declared concern for Roma rights appears side by side with blatant violations. Cases of systematic persecution and degradation of the Roma …

Dacosta Cadogan V. Barbados, Sarah Frost
Dacosta Cadogan V. Barbados, Sarah Frost
Loyola of Los Angeles International and Comparative Law Review
On May 18, 2005, the Supreme Court of Barbados found Mr. Tyrone DaCosta Cadogan guilty of murder and sentenced him to death by hanging; a sentence that is in accordance with Barbados’s Offences Against the Persons Act of 1994. Barbados imposed this mandatory death penalty sentence without considering the specific circumstances of the crime or the mitigating factors. As a consequence of a savings clause in the Constitution of Barbados, the domestic courts could not declare the mandatory death sentence to be invalid even though it violated fundamental rights protected under Barbados’s Constitution and the American Convention on Human Rights.
