Human Rights V. Extradition: The Soering Case, Stephan Breitenmoser, Gunter E. Wilms

Its impact on the judiciary of the twenty-three Western European Member States, as well as its pace-setting role for other international mechanisms for the protection of human rights, has recently been confirmed by the unanimous judgment of the European Court of Human Rights in Soering v. United Kingdom. In its judgment delivered on July 7, 1989, the Court held that the United Kingdom would act in violation of article 3 of …

Expediting Death: Repressive Tolerance And Post-Conviction Due Process Jurisprudence In Capital Cases, Nancy Levit

Faculty Works

The legitimacy of capital punishment has long been intertwined with the integrity of the procedures for its imposition including opportunities for review on appeal and in collateral hearings. Proposed legislation would dramatically abbreviate the habeas process in capital cases.
