George Takei’s Allegiance: WWII Japanese American incarceration as a cautionary tale
The musical Allegiance was inspired by the childhood of actor-activist George Takei, a Japanese American whose family was incarcerated by the United States government in ‘war relocation camps’ during World War II. Performed in both New York and London, the play is a rare popular depiction of Japanese detention – a chapter of American history that is simultaneously present and hidden in U.S. public imagination. The musical underscores the realitie…
Fleeing Ukraine: The Forced Migration Journeys of Black African Students
This study utilizes qualitative interview data to chronicle the migration journeys of 15 Black African international students who escaped the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. This research addresses a literature gap related to the vulnerabilities and challenges experienced by non-national minorities in times of crisis. While the migration journey out of Ukraine was difficult for both nationals and non-nationals, interview data highlights how Bla…
Marginalized and Misunderstood: How Anti-Rohingya Language Policies Fuel Genocide
Cultural Genocide: Law, Politics, and Global ManifestationsJeffrey S. Bachman
Although the crime of “cultural genocide” was eventually omitted from the 1948 United Nations’ Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, the importance of cultural destruction in the broader genocidal process remains a topic of discussion and debate. “The exclusion of cultural genocide from the Genocide Convention has influenced more than just the place of cultural genocide in international law,” observes Jeffrey S. Ba…
Asylum seekers’ experiences on the migration journey to Italy (and beyond): Risk factors and future planning within a shifting political landscape
Images of desperate migrants attempting to cross the Mediterranean Sea often encapsulate Italy's role in global migration, yet a variety of political developments – including the closing of Italian ports to humanitarian ships since 2018 – highlight a political landscape that is increasingly opposed to newcomers. This study utilises survey‐based, quantitative interviews with 810 asylum seekers in Lombardy, conducted in 2017 and 2018, to better und…
Fully Human: Personhood, Citizenship, and Rights
Fully Human: Personhood, Citizenship, and Rights critically considers how inequalities related to citizenship and recognition impact one’s ability to claim so-called universal and inalienable rights. Today, citizenship itself serves to recognize an individual as fully human or worthy of fundamental human rights—yet this robust form of political membership is limited or missing entirely for some vulnerable groups. These protection gaps are central…

Statelessness in the Caribbean: The Paradox of Belonging in a Postnational World. By Kristy A. Belton
Statelessness in the Caribbean: The Paradox of Belonging in a Postnational World explores ‘the situation of those who are excluded from formal belonging by practices of citizenship deprivation and denial in the countries of their birth’ (p. 4). Using the comparative case study of The Bahamas and the Dominican Republic, Kristy A. Belton challenges the postnational worldview that stresses flexible membership and denationalized rights. By focusing o…
Analysis of the association between millennium development goals 4 & 5 and the physician workforce across international economic strata
BACKGROUND: The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are 8 international development goals voluntarily adopted by 189 nations. The goals included health related aims to reduce the under-five child mortality rate by two-thirds (MDG4), and to reduce the maternal mortality ratio by three-quarters (MDG5). To assess the relationship between the healthcare workforce and MDGs 4-5, we examined the physician workforces of countries around the globe, in ter…
Bringing Rwandan Refugees ‘Home’: The Cessation Clause, Statelessness, and Forced Repatriation
Rwanda and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) contend that the genocidal violence and harsh repression that forced thousands of Rwandans to flee their country between 1959 and 1998 have ended, making Rwanda safe for return. The UNHCR-invoked cessation clause came into effect in 2013 as part of renewed attempts to bring refugees ‘home’ from neighbouring countries, despite reports of increasing State-sanctioned persecution in…
Toms and the Citizen-Consumer: Assessing the Impacts of Socially-Minded Consumption
The norms of ethical consumption and charitable giving have led to innovative changes in human rights advocacy and fundraising, ranging from the increasing prevalence of social enterprises (SEs) and codes of corporate social responsibility (CSR) to a plethora of for-profit businesses adopting charitable goals. Despite widespread interest in these new business models, scholars know very little about the interactions between approaches to socially-…
Haitians Seeking Refuge in Brazil
The Brazilian government circumvented international refugee law to create a safe haven for Haitian earthquake victims, but recent discrimination against Dominican Haitians may quickly change the co
Struggling to start over: Human rights challenges for Somali Bantu refugees in the United States
Despite persistent challenges to successful refugee resettlement in the United States, migration from Somalia has attracted little widespread attention from human rights scholars. Utilising longitudinal data from qualitative interviews conducted at three points over the course of ten years, this study shows that resettled Somali Bantu refugees face a range of rights challenges, particularly related to financial concerns and family issues. Rather …
Recovering from statelessness: Resettled Bhutanese-Nepali and Karen refugees reflect on the lack of legal nationality
The very notion of international human rights relies on state governments to serve as the legal "duty bearers" for protecting rights, yet governments are often responsible for creating the conditions that necessitate mass displacement. For some refugees, the lack of legal nationality creates an added dimension of vulnerability that exacerbates suffering. In order to illustrate the human rights challenges inherent to statelessness, this article fo…
Protecting the world's most persecuted: The responsibility to protect and Burma's Rohingya minority
The Rohingya in Burma have been called ‘the world's most persecuted minority' and subjected to pervasive human rights violations, including ethnic cleansing, statelessness and possibly genocide. Despite the international community's commitment to the responsibility to protect (R2P), which includes violence prevention, the plight of vulnerable populations such as the Rohingya has been relatively ignored. This article encourages dialogue about the …
The Destruction of Identity: Cultural Genocide and Indigenous Peoples
International law defines genocide in terms of violence committed “with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group,” yet this approach fails to acknowledge the full impacts of cultural destruction. There is insufficient international discussion of “cultural genocide,” which is a particular threat to the world's indigenous minorities. Despite the recent adoption of the UN Declaration on the Rights of In…

Online Advocacy: Analysis of Human Rights NGO Websites
Recent events illustrate the connection between Internet usage and political action, yet non-governmental organizations (NGOs) still seek effective Web strategies for human rights advocacy. Although most NGOs have websites and engage with technologies such as social networking, initial research shows that many organizations simply use the Internet to enhance existing programmes and activities. NGOs are far less likely than individual activists to…
Strengthening the Norms of Global Responsibility: Structural Violence in Relation to Internal Displacement and Statelessness
Norms of global responsibility have changed significantly since the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), and today’s international community critically considers responsibilities within and beyond state borders, as evidenced by the adoption of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) doctrine. From this starting point, protection must be extended to large populations susceptible to structural violence – social harms resulting from the pe…
Creating a “Human Rights Campus”
Debate: Limitations on universality: the "right to health" and the necessity of legal nationality
BACKGROUND: The "right to health," including access to basic healthcare, has been recognized as a universal human right through a number of international agreements. Attempts to protect this ideal, however, have relied on states as the guarantor of rights and have subsequently ignored stateless individuals, or those lacking legal nationality in any nation-state. While a legal nationality alone is not sufficient to guarantee that a right to health…
