Rescuing Human Rights
The development of human rights norms is one of the most significant achievements in international relations and law since 1945, but the continuing influence of human rights is increasingly being questioned by authoritarian governments, nationalists, and pundits. Unfortunately, the proliferation of new rights, linking rights to other issues such as international crimes or the activities of business, and attempting to address every social problem …
Reinvigorating Human Rights for the Twenty-First Century
The development of international human rights law ranks among the most significant accomplishments in international relations since 1945. However, the continuing growth of human rights is not inevitable, and increasingly expansive calls for new rights or attempts to address all social problems from a human rights perspective may, ironically, undermine their legitimacy. This tendency is evidenced by the conflation of human rights with individual c…
The Advisory Opinion on Kosovo
The ICJ's Advisory Opinion adopted a very narrow approach to the question posed by the General Assembly, but its basic response – that Kosovo's declaration of independence did not violate general international law – was correct. While it might have been preferable if the Court had given more guidance regarding the contemporary scope of self-determination, neither supporters nor opponents of Kosovo's independence gained much from the opinion. No d…
Reforming the Special Procedures and Mechanisms of the Commission on Human Rights
After a great deal of lobbying by Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, other non-governmental organisations and a number of governments (primarily ‘Western’ or European), the former UN Commission on Human Rights1 (Commission) was terminated and replaced by a new UN Human Rights Council (Council) in April 2006.2 While the new Council fell far short of hopes (if not expectations), most human rights organisations welcomed the new body warmly. …
Peace versus Justice
While ‘peace’ and ‘justice’ advocates share ultimate goals, the short-term concerns and strategies of practitioners in the two fields may differ dramatically. The potential contradictions of pursuing peace and justice are a particular challenge in the context of large-scale conflict, whether internal or international. Both mediators and human rights advocates could use more humility and less arrogance, since neither group can create world (or eve…
Inside and Out
The UDHR in National and International Law
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights has been the foundation of much of the post-1945 codification of human rights, and the international legal system is replete with global and regional treaties based, in large measure, on the Declaration. Pending universal ratification of the Covenants and other treaties, it is to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights that most people will look to find the minimum rights to which they are entitled. Thi…
Sovereignty and Its Relevance to Native Americans in the Twenty-First Century
The Specter of Secession
Self-Determination and Self-Administration
A seminal collection of the papers and commentary presented at the First and Second International Conferences on Self-Determination, attended by representatives of more than 80 nations. Extensive appendixes contribute to the value of this comprehensive sourcebook.
Autonomy, Sovereignty, and Self-Determination
Demands for "autonomy" or minority rights have given rise to conflicts, often violent, in every region of the world and under every political system. Through an analysis of contemporary international legal norms and an examination of several specific case studies—including Hong Kong, India, the transnational problems of the Kurds and Saamis, Nicaragua, Northern Ireland, Spain, Sri Lanka, and the Sudan—this book identifies a framework in which eth…

International Law and Cambodian Genocide
This article examines the feasibility of bringing an application to the International Court of Justice, under the terms of Article IX of the Genocide Convention or Article 36 of the Statute of the Court. It concludes that such an application would be legally feasible and political desirable and that the failure of any state thus far to institute proceedings before the Court is an indefensible abdication of international responsibility
The Right to Leave and Return in International Law and Practice
The Strasbourg Declaration on the Right to Leave and Return
A small 3-day meeting of international lawyers and other experts was convened by the International Institute of Human Rights in Strasbourg, France, in November 1986 to consider the current status of the right to leave any country, including one’s own, and to return to one’s country. The approximately 30 participants were from Costa Rica, Egypt, the Federal Republic of Germany, France, Morocco, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, the United King…
Guide to International Human Rights Practice
Linkages Between International Human Rights and U.S. Constitutional Law
While many law schools now offer separate courses or seminars on international human rights law, the number of students exposed to such specialized study remains relatively small. Human rights law is relevant to many other segments of the law school curriculum—in particular, to courses on constitutional law and individual rights—although little scholarly attention has been devoted to date to integrating appropriate human rights issues into the “b…
Guide to International Human Rights Practice
Thoroughly revised and updated, this is the latest edition of what has become the standard work in its field. It is an eminently practical, 'nuts-and-bolts' guide to international human rights law and practice. The authors describe in detail the most recent developments in human rights law, such as the increasing focus on women's and children's rights; new norms related to the protection of minorities; and the new procedures of the European Court…

The Concept of Autonomy in International Law
“Autonomy” is not a term of art or a concept that has a generally accepted definition in international law. Indeed, one surveying either the literature on the subject or the examples brought forth to demonstrate the existence of the concept is apt to conclude, to paraphrase the late jurist John Chipman Gray, that “on no subject of international law has there been so much loose writing and nebulous speculation as on autonomy.” Yet the term is very…

Individual Applications Under the European convention on Human Rights and the Concept of Administrative Practice
The most distinctive feature of the European Convention on Human Rights is the optional procedure under Article 25, whereby an individual claiming to be a victim of a violation of one of the rights guaranteed by the Convention may present a complaint against his own (or another) government to the European Commission of Human Rights for investigation. Thus the individual is given direct access to an international tribunal and is recognized as havi…
