Who Asked You?: The Appropriateness Of U.S. Leadership In Promoting Religious Freedom Worldwide, Nichol J. Starr
Who Asked You?: The Appropriateness Of U.S. Leadership In Promoting Religious Freedom Worldwide, Nichol J. Starr
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
Government endorsed and government imposed religious persecution is a growing phenomenon worldwide. From Central America to the Far East, people are arrested, tortured, and even killed for having and expressing their faith, despite the existence of universal covenants expressing acceptance of religious differences as among the most basic of human rights. Seeing the apparent futility of U.N. and other international efforts to curb such persecution, the U.S. Congress in 1998 passed the International Religious Freedom Act. Faith-based religious persecution--and the United States' role in combating it--first took center stage in American politics during the IRFA's passage, and most recently has …

The Ethics Of Advocacy For The Mentally Ill: Philosophic And Ethnographic Considerations, Bruce A. Arrigo, Christopher R. Williams
The Ethics Of Advocacy For The Mentally Ill: Philosophic And Ethnographic Considerations, Bruce A. Arrigo, Christopher R. Williams
Seattle University Law Review
In this Article, we critically address several philosophical underpinnings of ethical decision-making that impact persons with psychiatric disorders. We focus our attention, however, upon an admittedly limited target area. Thus, we canvass a select number of significant issues that pose unique problems for humanity. The purpose of these excursions is that of reflection. In brief, we will speculatively examine: (1) the relationship between human rights and the law; (2) the relationship between mental illness and the law (i.e. the rights of the mentally ill); (3) the ethics of involuntary confinement (i.e., taking away and giving back rights to the mentally …
Basic Rights And Anti-Terrorism Legislation, Kevin D. Kent
Basic Rights And Anti-Terrorism Legislation, Kevin D. Kent
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
This Note addresses whether Britain's Criminal Justice (Terrorism and Conspiracy) Act (CJTCA), which permits police officer opinion testimony as to whether a terrorist suspect is a member of an illegal terrorist organization and allows adverse inferences to be drawn from that suspect's silence, can be reconciled with the fair trial provisions of the Human Rights Act (HRA). Part II of this Note describes the background of the CJTCA, concentrating on the reasons for its rushed passage and on the evidentiary changes it makes to trials of defendants charged with terrorist offenses. Part II describes the background and mechanics of the …
Immunity Of Volunteer Health Care Providers In Texas: Bartering Legal Rights For Free Medical Care Comment, Gwendolyn Pulido
Immunity Of Volunteer Health Care Providers In Texas: Bartering Legal Rights For Free Medical Care Comment, Gwendolyn Pulido
The Scholar: St. Mary's Law Review on Race and Social Justice
Texas should not rely on Congress to cure the problem of indigent access to healthcare. Despite recent proposals to create a unified healthcare system, the United States continues to allow the welfare of its poor citizens to ride the wave of the free market. Unlike the U.S., several international declarations have acknowledged the inherent human right to healthcare including the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the United Nations’ adoption of the Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights (The Covenant). Despite the recognition of a right to healthcare, there is still no …
Legal Challenges To And By Sex Workers/Prostitutes , Amalia Lucia Cabezas
Legal Challenges To And By Sex Workers/Prostitutes , Amalia Lucia Cabezas
Cleveland State Law Review
Sex worker is a term that emerges from a particular historical and political juncture. It reflects a change in consciousness imbedded in the political struggles of women prostitutes. In this article, I trace the genealogy of the term to the 1960s, when major changes occurred in the role of women in society and in the reconceptualization of what were heretofore known as "deviant" sexualities. I then shift attention to the Caribbean, where I apply the term to the advent of sex tourism and the development of a sex workers' movement linked to a human rights agenda.

Protection Of Domestic Violence Victims Under The New York City Human Rights Law's Provisions Prohibiting Discrimination On The Basis Of Disability, Marta B. Varela
Protection Of Domestic Violence Victims Under The New York City Human Rights Law's Provisions Prohibiting Discrimination On The Basis Of Disability, Marta B. Varela
Fordham Urban Law Journal
This Article analyzes the need to create a new protected class of domestic violence victims to shield them from discrimination in employment. The Article examines arguments for and against proposed legislation to revise the human rights law governing disability, section 8-107 of the New York City Administration Code. The Article concludes that this legislation is unnecessary because the law already provides sufficient protection to domestic violence victims without requiring that victims disclose their domestic violence status to their employers.
