Reflections On Regional Human Rights Law, Gabriel M. Wilner Dec 1995

Reflections On Regional Human Rights Law, Gabriel M. Wilner

Scholarly Works

The principal purpose of the Colloquium, as can be seen from the great attention given to the papers presented by the second panel, was to discuss the uses of customary international human rights law in the defense of human rights before national courts.

Scholarly Works

pollution-intensive raw materials. For a typical product in this global

system, a U.S. consumer purchasing an Asian product made from

imported resources benefits from a lower price and a cleaner local

environment; however, energy use and pollution associated with the …
