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, …

Orientalism Revisited In Asylum And Refugee Claims, Susan M. Akram Jan 2000

Orientalism Revisited In Asylum And Refugee Claims, Susan M. Akram

Faculty Scholarship

This article examines the stereotyping of Islam both by advocates and academics in refugee rights advocacy. The article looks at a particular aspect of this stereotyping, which can be seen as ‘neo-Orientalism’ occurring in the asylum and refugee context, particularly affecting women, and the damage that it does to refugee rights both in and outside the Arab and Muslim world. The article points out the dangers of neo-orientalism in framing refugee law issues and asks for a more thoughtful and analytical approach by Western refugee advocates and academics on the panoply of Muslim attitudes and Islamic thought affecting applicants for …

The Problem Of Obtaining Evidence For International Criminal Courts, Jacob Katz Cogan Jan 2000

The Problem Of Obtaining Evidence For International Criminal Courts, Jacob Katz Cogan

Faculty Articles and Other Publications

International criminal courts will be judged by their fairness to defendants as well as to victims. In a very practical way, such claims will hinge, inter alia, on the ability of prosecutors and defendants to have reasonable access to probative evidence. But international criminal courts depend on states to provide them with evidence or access to evidence. The obligation of states to cooperate with international criminal tribunals in the production of evidence was at issue in the recent decision of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in the Blaki case (1997). That judgment and the provisions of the …

International Human Rights, International Humanitarian Law, And Environmental Security: Can The International Criminal Court Bridge The Gaps?, Mark A. Drumbl Jan 2000

International Human Rights, International Humanitarian Law, And Environmental Security: Can The International Criminal Court Bridge The Gaps?, Mark A. Drumbl

Scholarly Articles

The gap between international humanitarian law and environmental security should trouble international lawyers. Just as armed conflict often creates a context in which the most serious human rights abuses occur, so too, does it create a similar context for the infliction of wanton and extensive destruction to the environment. This destruction creates profound environmental insecurity. Part (II) of this Article explores the insecurities caused by the environmental consequences of armed conflict. Although the international community has shown considerable concern for the humanitarian consequences of war, it has been significantly more hesitant in accounting for war's environmental consequences. It is for …


Punishment, Postgenocide: From Guilt To Shame To Civis In Rwanda, Mark A. Drumbl Jan 2000

Punishment, Postgenocide: From Guilt To Shame To Civis In Rwanda, Mark A. Drumbl

Scholarly Articles

Following the 1994 Rwandan genocide, national and international trials set out to encourage national reconciliation, promote peace, punish perpetrators, foster a culture of human rights, and effect justice. In this Article, Professor Mark Drumbl questions the ability of these trials to achieve these goals and suggests they may in fact aggravate ethnic identity politics, thereby threatening Rwanda's long-term stability. He argues that the highly interdependent yet dualist nature of Rwandan society, together with the widespread level of participation in and victimization by the genocide, create a situation where accountability for the violence and the deterrence of future violence can be …

Finally, this comment calls for international regulation that would begin to address these problems, …
