The Stories We Must Tell: Ugandan Children And The Atrocities Of The Lord's Resistance Army, Rosa Brooks Jan 1998

The Stories We Must Tell: Ugandan Children And The Atrocities Of The Lord's Resistance Army, Rosa Brooks

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

This essay is about stories--the stories that we are told and the stories that we, in turn, tell to others. It has become a truism that we have lost our faith in master narratives and that the "real" is composed of many competing narratives, all fragmentary, contradictory, overlapping. In this article, the author discusses the problems this view poses for those of us who see ourselves as advocates and activists rather than solely--or primarily--as scholars, but who nonetheless seek to combine social activism with intellectual rigor and honesty. In particular, she discusses the dilemmas this creates for the human rights …


Progress For Pilgrims: An Analysis Of The Holy See-Israel Fundamental Agreement, Geoffrey R. Watson Jan 1998

Progress For Pilgrims: An Analysis Of The Holy See-Israel Fundamental Agreement, Geoffrey R. Watson

Scholarly Articles

This Article asks whether international human rights law obliges states to admit foreign pilgrims, and if so, whether the existence of such an obligation should influence interpretation of the Fundamental Agreement. Part I of this Article takes up a logically prior question: whether the Fundamental Agreement is a legally binding treaty, and whether it should be interpreted in accordance with treaty law. The Article rejects recent suggestions that one or both parties lack the capacity to make treaties, and it concludes that the Agreement is a binding treaty that should be interpreted in accordance with the Vienna Convention on the …

Socio-Economic Rights And The South African Transition: The Role Of The Truth And Reconciliation Commission, Ronald Slye Nov 1997

Socio-Economic Rights And The South African Transition: The Role Of The Truth And Reconciliation Commission, Ronald Slye

Faculty Articles

This article examines a part of a foundational principle of the South African Bill of Rights that individuals are entitled to a range of rights that ensure individual security, freedom, and well-being, and that these rights are interdependent and the crucial role of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (the "TRC") in laying the groundwork for the fulfillment of those rights.

CAO Creation Pre-1999

Prompted by public concern about alleged non-compliance with policies of the Bank Group, and project-specific controversies (such as the Pangue Dam on Chile's BioBio river), the President and top management of the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA), the two private sector arms of the World Bank Group, have announced their intention to create a review mechanism patterned after the existing World Bank Inspection Panel (which only applies to the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) and the International Development Association (IDA)). Mr. Wolfensohn, in particular, has supported the extension of the Panel as …


The United Nations Convention Of The Rights Of The Child: A Feminist Landmark, Cynthia Price Cohen Apr 1997

The United Nations Convention Of The Rights Of The Child: A Feminist Landmark, Cynthia Price Cohen

William & Mary Journal of Race, Gender, and Social Justice

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child,1 adopted by the General Assembly on November 20, 1989, is a ground-breaking human rights treaty for many reasons. It had the largest number of signatories on the day that it was opened for signature.2 It went into force more quickly than any other human rights treaty;3 it reached near-universal ratification by mid-1996;4 and it protects the entire range of human rights: civilpolitical, economic-social-cultural, and humanitarian.5 In addition, the Convention's monitoring mechanism gives unique powers to its monitoring body, the Committee on the Rights of the Child.6 Unfortunately, these achievements have …
