The Commission on Unalienable Rights: Where Do We Go from Here
When the U.S. State Department Commission on Unalienable Rights issued its report1 on August 26, 2020, one of the questions most frequently asked by journalists was: “What do you expect to become of it?” Or, as one put it more bluntly, “What will prevent this report from just accumulating dust on some forgotten library shelf?”

The forum and the tower: How scholars and politicians have imagined the world, from Plato to Eleanor Roosevelt
The relationship between politics and the academy has been fraught with tension and regret - and the occasional brilliant success - since Plato himself. This book examines thinkers who have collaborated with leaders, from ancient Syracuse to the modern White House, in a series of brisk portraits that explore the meeting of theory and reality.

This chapter focuses on Marcus Tullius Cicero, a statesman who strongly believed that a life of public service was “the course that has always been followed by the best men.” But his efforts to preserve the form of government he called republican were doomed to failure. Later generations would honor Cicero for writings that helped to forge the great synthesis of Greco-Roman traditions that nourished Western philosophy, politics, and law. The magn…
Justice and Human Rights: Reflections on the Address of Pope Benedict to the UN
The topic of human rights was prominent in Pope Benedict ’ s address to the United Nations General Assembly in the year of the Universal Declaration’s 60th anniversary. 1 As with many of Pope Benedict’s speeches, his 18 April address to the United Nations is one in which some rather complex ideas are expressed in a very condensed fashion. It is a speech that needs, as they say, to be ‘ unpacked ’ . Today, the UDHR has become the single most impor…

In the 1960s and 1970s, when the judicial rights revolution was in full swing in the United States, poverty lawyers and allied legal scholars urged the courts to add to the expanding catalog of constitutional rights certain social and economic rights—to housing, education, and a minimum decent subsistence. The advocates of welfare rights were not deterred by the absence of pertinent constitutional language. After all, if the Court could find a ri…

Peu importe, en effet, qu’en droit civil les obligations contractuelles et les obligations délictuelles soient considérées comme deux branches d’un même sujet : le droit de…
