Dialogic Federalism: Constitutional Possibilities For Incorporation Of Human Rights Law In The United States Social Movements And Law Reform, Catherine Powell Jan 2001

Dialogic Federalism: Constitutional Possibilities For Incorporation Of Human Rights Law In The United States Social Movements And Law Reform, Catherine Powell

Faculty Scholarship

Discussions about the allocation of authority between federal and subfederal systems in the implementation of international human rights law typically proceed by staking out one of two initial positions. At one end of the spectrum, a traditional constitutional theory takes a restrictive view of state and local authority, envisioning hierarchical imposition of federally implemented international law norms through the federal treaty power and determination of customary international law by federal courts. At the other end of the spectrum, a revisionist theory assumes greater fragmentation and authority reserved to the states based on federalism and separation of powers limits on federal …


Does International Human Rights Law Make A Difference?, Douglass Cassel Jan 2001

Does International Human Rights Law Make A Difference?, Douglass Cassel

Journal Articles

Does international human rights law make a difference? Does it protect rights in practice? The importance of these questions for rights protection is obvious: the institutions of international human rights law deserve our energetic support only to the extent they contribute meaningfully to protection of rights, or at least promise eventually to do so. Moreover, at the moment these questions have added urgency. They underlie an ongoing debate, fomented in part by this Journal, on the extent to which the United States should be prepared to cede degrees of its national sovereignty to international human rights institutions, in return for …


A Framework Of Norms: International Human-Rights Law And Sovereignty, Douglass Cassel Jan 2001

A Framework Of Norms: International Human-Rights Law And Sovereignty, Douglass Cassel

Journal Articles

The international legal boundary between states; rights and human rights is not fixed. Long ago, the Permanent Court of International Justice - the judicial arm of the League of Nations and the precursor to the present International Court of Justice - recognized that "the question whether a certain matter is or is not solely within the jurisdiction of a State is an essentially relative question; it depends on the development of international relations." In recent decades international relations concerning both sovereignty and rights have developed quickly. An examination of those rights and the evolving realities of sovereignty are examined.

Ex Parte Young And Federal Remedies For Human Rights Treaty Violations, David Sloss Oct 2000

Ex Parte Young And Federal Remedies For Human Rights Treaty Violations, David Sloss

Washington Law Review

The doctrine of Ex parte Young is typically described as an exception to the immunity granted by the Eleventh Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. This Article contends that the Young doctrine also stands for the proposition that the Supremacy Clause creates an implied right of action for injunctive relief against state and local government officers who violate federal statutes or treaties. That right of action is available to plaintiffs who seek to enforce federal statutes or treaties against government officers unless Congress foreclosed the availability of a Young remedy when it enacted the statute, or the treaty makers foreclosed the …


The Treaty Power And American Federalism, Part Ii, Curtis A. Bradley Oct 2000

The Treaty Power And American Federalism, Part Ii, Curtis A. Bradley

Michigan Law Review

In an article published in this Review two years ago, I described and critiqued what I called the "nationalist view" of the treaty power. Under this view, the national government has the constitutional power to enter into treaties, and thereby create binding national law by virtue of the Supremacy Clause, without regard to either subject matter or federalism limitations. This view is reflected in the writings of a number of prominent foreign affairs law scholars, as well as in the American Law Institute's Restatement (Third) of Foreign Relations Law of the United States. In my article, I argued that this …

International Human Rights And Domestic Law Focusing On U.S. Law, With Some Reference To Israeli Law, Malvina Halberstam Jul 2000

International Human Rights And Domestic Law Focusing On U.S. Law, With Some Reference To Israeli Law, Malvina Halberstam

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The article, written by Malvina Halberstam, reflects on the 50th anniversaries of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and the Israeli Supreme Court. It highlights the significance of the UDHR in establishing individual rights within international law and compares the protection of these rights in U.S. and Israeli domestic laws. While the U.S. Constitution provides robust protection for many UDHR rights, the article critiques the U.S. for its slow ratification of human rights treaties and the practice of adding reservations, particularly the declaration of treaties as non-self-executing. It also addresses concerns about restrictions on freedom of expression in Israel, …
