Ruminations On The Past, Present And Future Of International Labor Standards: Empowering Law In The Brave New Economic World, Marley S. Weiss Jan 2007

Ruminations On The Past, Present And Future Of International Labor Standards: Empowering Law In The Brave New Economic World, Marley S. Weiss

Faculty Scholarship

International labor standards are among the oldest international standards pertaining to the conduct of private, as well as public, economic actors. Far from being settled, however, nearly every aspect of the current international labor standards regime is in flux: the role of labor standards in the international legal, economic, political, and social order, as well as in the parallel domestic orders; the modes by which standards are brought into being; the manner and means of their implementation and enforcement; the degree to which they may be binding solely on nation-state parties, and enforceable only at their behest; and the extent …

Meeting Basic Survival Needs Of The World's Least Healthy People: Toward A Framework Convention On Global Health, Lawrence O. Gostin Jan 2007

Meeting Basic Survival Needs Of The World's Least Healthy People: Toward A Framework Convention On Global Health, Lawrence O. Gostin

Georgetown Law Faculty Lectures and Appearances

This article searches for solutions to the most perplexing problems in global health - problems so important that they affect the fate of millions of people, with economic, political, and security ramifications for the world's population. There are a variety of solutions scholars propose to improve global health and close the yawning health gap between rich and poor: global health is in the national interests of the major State powers; States owe an ethical duty to act; or international legal norms require effective action. However, arguments based on national interest, ethics, or international law have logical weaknesses. The coincidence of …


From A Civil Libertarian To A Sanitarian: “A Life Of Learning”, Lawrence O. Gostin Jan 2007

From A Civil Libertarian To A Sanitarian: “A Life Of Learning”, Lawrence O. Gostin

Georgetown Law Faculty Lectures and Appearances

I left Harvard 15 years ago to come to Georgetown University, formed in the year of our Constitution and established by an Act of Congress. More than Oxford or Harvard, Georgetown embodied my highest ideals of using world-class scholarship to serve the needs of the most disadvantaged. The Jesuit mission of social justice, which permeates our scholarship and teaching, has deep meaning to me. And the Jesuit ideal of “the human being fully alive,” resonates with my view of the salient importance of human health and wellbeing. The ideals of equity and human fulfilment are embodied in the inscription on …

Nao Valel A Pena (Not Worth The Trouble?) Afro-Brazilian Workers And Brazilian Anti-Discrimination Law, Benjamin Hensler Jan 2007

Nao Valel A Pena (Not Worth The Trouble?) Afro-Brazilian Workers And Brazilian Anti-Discrimination Law, Benjamin Hensler

UC Law SF International Law Review

In this paper Benjamin Hensler examines the paradoxical underdevelopment of Brazilian antidiscrimination law and its impact on the country's Afro-Brazilian population - a group that includes more than 40% of Brazil's citizens, and the vast majority of its poor. The author considers why, despite the presence of both widespread racial discrimination in the country's private labor market and explicit prohibitions on employment discrimination in its constitution, there has been - until quite recently - a glaring absence of successful legal challenges to racial discrimination by Afro-Brazilian workers. His paper discusses the interwoven relationships among three key factors that have inhibited …


Deportation Of Human Rights Abusers: Towards Achieving Accountability, Not Fostering Impunity, Simona Agnolucci Jan 2007

Deportation Of Human Rights Abusers: Towards Achieving Accountability, Not Fostering Impunity, Simona Agnolucci

UC Law SF International Law Review

This article discusses recently enacted changes to U.S. immigration law allowing for deportation of violators of international human rights norms.

The article concludes with a series of guidelines for determining whether deportation should be used as part of a greater scheme to …
