Balancing, Proportionality, And Human Rights Adjudication In Comparative Context: Lessons For Nigeria, Basil Ugochukwu Jan 2014

Balancing, Proportionality, And Human Rights Adjudication In Comparative Context: Lessons For Nigeria, Basil Ugochukwu

The Transnational Human Rights Review

What is the nature of the role that courts perform when they evaluate human rights complaints? Answering this question engages two related but contending values in the process of protecting human rights through judicial means. The first value is that persons are entitled to certain rights and freedoms that are either completely outside the controlling power of the state, organizations and others in the society, or which when they are infringed could trigger an application for judicial protection by the victims. The second value is that the state can impose limitations on certain rights and freedoms but only if it …


International Human Rights Fact-Finding Praxis In Its Living Forms: A Twail Perspective, Obiora C. Okafor Jan 2014

International Human Rights Fact-Finding Praxis In Its Living Forms: A Twail Perspective, Obiora C. Okafor

The Transnational Human Rights Review

International human rights fact-finding (hereinafter "IHRFF") has been defined, rather generously, as: A method of ascertaining facts through the evaluation and compilation of various information sources ... [which] serves to illuminate the circumstances, causes, consequences and aftermath of an event from a systematic collection of facts. Understood in this way, IHRFF is not a new activity. Rather, various organizations, groups, and entities have engaged in it for a very long time. Indeed, issues relating to its ways and means, conceptual and operational problems, and best practices have occupied the attention of many practitioners, and cringed the brows of many of …

Human Rights And The New Reality Of Climate Change: Adaptation's Limitations In Achieving Climate Justice , Zackary L. Stillings Jan 2014

Human Rights And The New Reality Of Climate Change: Adaptation's Limitations In Achieving Climate Justice , Zackary L. Stillings

Michigan Journal of International Law

In 2005, the Inuit of Canada and the United States filed a petition with the Inter American Commission on Human Rights, alleging that their respective governments had violated their human rights by failing to mitigate climate change harms. The Inuit alleged violations of several specific human rights, including the right to enjoy their culture; the right to enjoy and use the lands they have traditionally occupied; the right to use and enjoy their personal property; the right to health; the right to life, physical integrity, and security; the right to their own means of subsistence; and the right to residence …

The Right To Food And The Political Economy Of Third World States, Opeoluwa Adetoro Badaru Jan 2014

The Right To Food And The Political Economy Of Third World States, Opeoluwa Adetoro Badaru

The Transnational Human Rights Review

Current global events validate the fact that beyond a theoretical analysis of rights discourse and food justice, there is a need to understand and propose ways to address the very fragile global food situation, and especially so in Third World states. At the peak of the high food prices in mid-2008, the world observed how the issue of access to food and the means to acquire food (in the larger context of other socio-economic needs) spurred riots from Egypt to Bangladesh and Mexico. And one cannot definitely say that we are out of the woods yet concerning rising food prices. …


Is Nigeria A Secular State? Law, Human Rights And Religion In Context, Osita Nnamani Ogbu Jan 2014

Is Nigeria A Secular State? Law, Human Rights And Religion In Context, Osita Nnamani Ogbu

The Transnational Human Rights Review

Nigeria is a multi-ethnic and multi-religious state. The two major religions in the country are Islam and Christianity. Adherents of these two major religions take divergent positions on the question of the secularity of the Nigerian state. While most Christians argue for separation of the Nigerian state from religion, most Muslims advocate the fusion of religion, the state and the law. To many of them, the Sharia ought to govern the totality of the life of a Muslim from cradle to grave. For instance, the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Alhaji Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, maintained that any call …


Transwomen, The Prison-Industrial Complex, And Human Rights: Neoliberalism And Trans-Resistance, Emmi Bevensee Jan 2014

Transwomen, The Prison-Industrial Complex, And Human Rights: Neoliberalism And Trans-Resistance, Emmi Bevensee

Societies Without Borders

This article introduces complexity into understandings around the relationships between human rights, being transgender, and interacting with the prison-industrial complex. It looks at struggles and interventions against neoliberal mainstream agendas that do not address the underlying causes of state violence against transpeople, especially trans women of color. This essay employs in-depth research and analysis primarily employing the lens and tools of intersectional subalternity, personal experience, and extensive community activism around these complex issues to show that human rights struggles that do not challenge neoliberal politics generally fail to meet the needs of trans people facing massive structural violence with the …

Political Battles On Women’S Bodies: Post-Election Conflicts And Violence Against Women In Internally Displaced Persons Camps In Kenya, Roseanne Njeri Njiru

Societies Without Borders

The Kenya 2007 December presidential election results were violently challenged. For months, political protests accompanied by violent attacks and violent reaction by government security forces, led to “ethnic cleansing” particularly in the Rift Valley region resulting in deaths of more than 1,500 people and internal displacement of about 450,000 others. Women and young girls experienced various forms of gender violence during and after the conflicts in internally displaced persons (IDP) camps. Using in-depth interviews with women living in a camp, NGOs and government agencies, this article focuses on the continuing bodily violence that internally displaced women face in their everyday …
