Reflections On Regional Human Rights Law, Gabriel M. Wilner Dec 1995

Reflections On Regional Human Rights Law, Gabriel M. Wilner

Scholarly Works

The principal purpose of the Colloquium, as can be seen from the great attention given to the papers presented by the second panel, was to discuss the uses of customary international human rights law in the defense of human rights before national courts. More generally, these discussions focused on the effectiveness of customary international human rights rules in influencing legislative and policy-making, administrative decisions and, particularly, judicial adjudication, at international and national levels. The initial and wider question of the feasibility of using custom as a source of human rights rules formed the underlying aspects of the debates in the …


The United Kingdom, The European Court Of Human Rights, And Constitutional Review, A. W. Bradley Dec 1995

The United Kingdom, The European Court Of Human Rights, And Constitutional Review, A. W. Bradley

Cardozo Law Review

The aim of this Article is to consider whether there is now in the United Kingdom the embryo of a procedure for constitutional review that results from the United Kingdom's adherence to the European Convention on Human Rights as well as the burgeoning case law being developed by the European Court of Human Rights. To the extent that such an embryo exists, I hope to show that this is a development which has not been directly willed by the United Kingdom Parliament, nor by successive United Kingdom governments. Assuming that this process deserves to be described as piecemeal constitution making, …

The Reach Of Rights In The New Russian Constitution, Antti Korkeakivi Jul 1995

The Reach Of Rights In The New Russian Constitution, Antti Korkeakivi

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The new Russian Constitution incorporates a comprehensive catalogue of human rights, largely mirroring international standards and Western democracies, while retaining elements influenced by Soviet tradition. It rejects the socialist notion that rights are state-granted, declaring them inalienable and innate. However, the Constitution’s effectiveness in protecting these rights remains uncertain, as its success hinges on the judiciary’s ability to enforce them independently, despite historical weaknesses and ongoing concerns about judicial autonomy.

The Legality Of Humanitarian Intervention, Malvina Halberstam Apr 1995

The Legality Of Humanitarian Intervention, Malvina Halberstam

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The article argues that humanitarian intervention, defined as the use of force by one state in another's territory to protect individuals from imminent death or injury when the host state cannot or will not act, is lawful under customary international law and not prohibited by the UN Charter. The author advocates for a narrow definition to ensure legitimacy and prevent misuse, emphasizing that such intervention should remain permissible even without UN Security Council authorization.


Democracy And Pluralism: A Critique Of The Rationalist Approach, Chantal Mouffe Mar 1995

Democracy And Pluralism: A Critique Of The Rationalist Approach, Chantal Mouffe

Cardozo Law Review

In recent decades, categories like ,"human nature," "universal reason," and "rational autonomous subject" increasingly have been questioned. From different standpoints, a variety of thinkers have criticized the ideas of a universal human nature, of a universal canon of rationality through which that human nature could be known, as well as the possibility of an unconditional universal truth. Such a critique of Enlightenment's universalism and rationalism, which is sometimes referred to as "postmodernism," has been presented by some authors, for example, Jirgen Habermas, as constituting a threat to the modem democratic project. They consider that the link existing between the democratic …
