Challenges To Freedom Of Expression Within The Inter-American System A Jurisprudential Analysis, Claudio Grossman

Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals

Freedom of expression is a "cornerstone upon which the very existence of a democratic society rests" [citation omitted].

The Inter-American System Of Human Rights: Challenges For The Future, Claudio Grossman Jan 2008

The Inter-American System Of Human Rights: Challenges For The Future, Claudio Grossman

Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals

The Inter-American system is a combination of human rights norms and supervisory institutions within the Americas. The applicable rules consist primarily of the American Declaration on the Rights and Duties of Man ("American Declaration") and the American Convention on Human Rights ("American Convention"). The institutions involved are the organs responsible for supervising compliance with the established rules: the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights ("the Commission") and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights ("the Court").

Global Legal Education And Human Rights, Claudio Grossman

Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals

American University Washington College of Law's Human Rights Brief is an important educational tool for all of us and is a tremendous source for those involved in human rights work around the world. The Brief promotes the development of human rights by providing both analysis and information about cutting edge cases involving human rights violations today. On the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the Brief, I will reflect on what I perceive to be the changes necessary for legal education and discuss the role of human rights in that process.

Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals

The people of Awas Tingni did not set about to forge an international legal precedent with implications for indigenous peoples throughout the world, yet that is what they have done. Awas Tingni is one of numerous Mayagna, or Sumo, indigenous communities in the isolated Atlantic Coast region of Nicaragua. The Community has sought simply, but doggedly, to be secure in the peaceful possession of traditional lands. It has achieved a major step toward that end, and more. The Community's identity in the minds of outsiders is now merged with that of a landmark case, The Case of the Mayagna (Sumo) …
