Implications Of The United States Ratification Of The United Nations Convention On The Rights Of The Child: Civil Rights, The Constitution And The Family, Barbara J. Nauck

Cleveland State Law Review

This note begins with an examination of why the UNCRC has yet to be ratified in this country. The perspective of children's rights advocates is discussed. A comparison of Romano-Germanic and common law is presented to facilitate an understanding of the major differences that affect the way the UNCRC is viewed under the two systems. The effect of a treaty, self-executing or not, in United States' courts is examined. Civil Rights Articles 13, 14,15 and 16 in the Convention are linguistically analyzed and the United States law applicable to each Article is reviewed for its compatibility with the UNCRC. This …

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

In the next section of the article, we provide an overview of the major subregional groupings and other institutional relationships now being created throughout Latin America.

Out In Left Field: Cuba's Post-Cold War Strikeout, Berta Esperanza Hernández Truyol Jan 1994

Out In Left Field: Cuba's Post-Cold War Strikeout, Berta Esperanza Hernández Truyol

Fordham International Law Journal

This Article studies the Cuban situation in four parts. First, it reviews whether Cuba actually fits basic expectations of "Third World country" status. As discussed in Part I, the figures of social and human development indicators, as well as economic development figures, reveal that Cuba does not match the definition neatly. Its health, education, and welfare figures rival those of industrial states. Economic development figures, however, paint a completely different picture. Economic considerations certainly permit labelling the island as a "developing country," particularly since the onset of the 1986 recession, as exacerbated by the demise of communism and Cuba's consequent …

Subsidiarity And Soverignty In The European Union, Paul D. Marquardt Jan 1994

Subsidiarity And Soverignty In The European Union, Paul D. Marquardt

Fordham International Law Journal

The institutional quick fix may support the nation-state in the short run, but the underlying logic of subsidiarty reduces the claim of rightful governance to a technocratic question of functional efficiency that will eventually undercut the nation-state's claims to loyalty. In reaching this conclusion, this Article first explores the origins and underpinnings of the doctrine of subsidiarity. Second, it examines the application of subsidiarity to the European Community. Finally, it examines the compatibility of the principles developed with today's understanding of sovereignty in Western Europe.

Acceptance Of Diversity: The Essence Of Peace In The North Of Ireland, John Hume Jan 1994

Acceptance Of Diversity: The Essence Of Peace In The North Of Ireland, John Hume

Fordham International Law Journal

True unity, as I have said, is based on respect for diversity. In Ireland, we must build political institutions that reflect the diversity of all our people, both North and South. These institutions will allow us to work together in our common economic interests to create hope for all our people. In time, the old sectarian barriers will break down and, in a generation or two, we will see a new Ireland. It will be very different from the models traditionally suggested by unionists and nationalists because it will be built on consensus and acknowledge the diversity of our people. …

Challenges And Questions Around Competition Policy: The Hungarian Experience, Ferenc Vissi Jan 1994

Challenges And Questions Around Competition Policy: The Hungarian Experience, Ferenc Vissi

Fordham International Law Journal

This Essay is principally about economic policy. It highlights the importance of competition policy and suggests that its weight needs to be increased in the overall economic policy, and specifically in some areas closely related to competition. The increased weight principally means that the objectives of economic policy as public values must be included in professional, political and governmental decision-making. This is not driven by any professional chauvinism, but rather by the political need of necessary interest reconciliation and search for compromise. I also believe that competition policy must be in the same category as monetary, financial, or trade policy.
