The Moral Economy Of The Purchase Of Freedom: Ethical Lessons From The Slave Narratives, Lea Vandervelde May 1996

The Moral Economy Of The Purchase Of Freedom: Ethical Lessons From The Slave Narratives, Lea Vandervelde

Cardozo Law Review

In his contribution to this symposium, Richard Weisberg tells us a subtle story of what he calls "twin hermeneutics." I will use one of these-"the hermeneutic of acceptance"-to launch my own discussion on the subject of ethical dilemmas. By this term, "the hermeneutic of acceptance," Weisberg means the gradual acceptance by French lawyers of the scheme of racial exclusion newly created by Vichy laws. He traces the digression in legal arguments made by French lawyers during the four years of Vichy rule. French lawyers loaned their prestige to these new laws by means which placed their legal arguments on a …

Federal Courts And World Civil Society, Gordon A. Christenson Jan 1996

Federal Courts And World Civil Society, Gordon A. Christenson

Faculty Articles and Other Publications

This article proposes that in all international civil litigation federal judges should use international and foreign law pragmatically as an aid to decisions which further the substantive values of "world civil society." These values are similar to those of civil society in a federal republic with an elaborate bill of rights - to preserve voluntary associations of human dignity and enterprise whose spirit transcends the public order of sovereign states.

Jane Doe, On Behalf Of Herself And All Others Similarly Situated: Radovan Karadzic In United States District Court, Susan L. Ronn Jan 1996

Jane Doe, On Behalf Of Herself And All Others Similarly Situated: Radovan Karadzic In United States District Court, Susan L. Ronn

Seattle University Law Review

In perhaps the only method available to respond with power to the horrors of "ethnic cleansing" in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Muslim women turned to a United States court for redress under the Alien Tort Claims Act (ATCA) and the Torture Victim Protection Act (TVPA) The district court denied jurisdiction. This Article examines the opinion of the United States District Court in Doe v. Karadzic and concludes that Jane Doe and all others similarly situated should find redress in the courts of the United States for the brutalities inflicted upon them. Federal courts should not interpret the ATCA and the TVPA so narrowly …


On The History Of Fathers' Rights And Mothers' Duty Of Care, Sibylla Flügge Jan 1996

On The History Of Fathers' Rights And Mothers' Duty Of Care, Sibylla Flügge

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article examines the historical evolution of custody rights in Germany, focusing on the shift from maternal preference to increasing recognition of fathers' rights. It argues that the legal system's move toward joint custody and equal parental rights reflects broader societal changes in gender roles, while also critiquing the potential backlash against women's emancipation. The analysis highlights how improvements in fathers' legal standing have often coincided with decreased obligations for men to actively care for children, raising concerns about the practical implications for mothers and children.

Gaps In Gender-Based Violence Jurisprudence Of International And Hybrid Criminal Courts: Can Human Rights Law Help, Susana Sacouto Jan 1996

Gaps In Gender-Based Violence Jurisprudence Of International And Hybrid Criminal Courts: Can Human Rights Law Help, Susana Sacouto

Contributions to Books

Great progress has been made over the last two decades in the investigation and prosecution of sexual and gender-based violence, in particular by the ad-hoc International Criminal Tribunals for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and Rwanda (ICTR). Yet the practice and jurisprudence of these tribunals makes clear that significant challenges remain, including inconsistency in how to understand – and therefore how to prove and adequately link to higher level perpetrators – crimes of sexual violence committed in the context of conflict, mass violence or repression. This chapter examines these challenges and explores whether human rights law, particularly the requirement that access …

Human Rights, International Law, And Domestic Courts, Edward D. Re Jan 1996

Human Rights, International Law, And Domestic Courts, Edward D. Re

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The article explores the role of domestic courts, particularly in the United States, in enforcing international human rights norms and the challenges posed by sovereign immunity. It argues that U.S. courts should give greater effect to international legal norms, especially in cases involving human rights violations by foreign states. The analysis critiques the U.S. Supreme Court's narrow interpretation of the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act (FSIA) in Saudi Arabia v. Nelson and advocates for a more expansive approach to ensure accountability for human rights abuses.

Victim Reparations In The Inter-American Human Rights System: A Critical Assessment Of Current Practice And Procedure, Jo M. Pasqualucci

Michigan Journal of International Law

Part II of this article analyzes the statutory authority for reparations in the Inter-American system in light of the legislative history of the American Convention's reparations provision and compares that authority with that provided for in the European human rights system. Part III sets forth the Inter-American Court's procedures for determining reparations once State responsibility has been established. Part IV evaluates the parties who may receive reparations. Part V analyzes the types of reparations provided generally under international law and specifically in the Inter-American system. Part VI criticizes the Court's determination to grant only a small share of the reparations …


The World Bank, The Imf, And Human Rights, Daniel D. Bradlow Jan 1996

The World Bank, The Imf, And Human Rights, Daniel D. Bradlow

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

This paper explores the type of human rights obligations of the World Bank and the IMF. It argues that their human rights obligations can be divided into two sets of issues. First is operational issues, which relate to both the promotion and protection of human rights. Second is institutional issues, which deal with the internal rules and procedures of the World Bank and the IMF. The paper concludes that these organizations need to develop a coherent and explicit human rights policy.
