A Perspective on Diabetes from Indigenous Views
Six elders, representing six different indigenous cultures, three of whom have academic appointments, were asked to provide their perspectives on diabetes addressing etiology, risk factors, increasing prevalence and co-morbidities. The rapid increase of this chronic disease has impacted the systems of care and financial management within Indian Health Service, the United States healthcare system established for federally-recognized American India…
Sources in the Meta-History of International Law: A Little Meta-Theory—Paradigms, Article 38, and the Sources of International Law
This chapter introduces a ‘meta-theory’ of international law. It employs the insights of Thomas Kuhn, who argued that once a paradigm has been accepted by a scientific community, most scientists accept it without much question. When the paradigm is overwhelmed, a ‘scientific revolution’—a new paradigm—emerges. The paradigm for the sources of international law is Article 38 of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) Statute, which emerged during …

The Shadow of Westphalia: Majoritarian Religions and Strasbourg Law
Throughout Europe, religious majoritarian cultures have been traditionally hostile to minority faiths. The European Court of Human Rights has been slow to apply Article 9, religious tolerance. Albeit, today it is generally accepted that no one religion is destined to become the common faith of Europe, it is still very difficult in European law and politics to say how much each of the 47 Member States of the states of the Council of Europe should …

Russia and the 'Legality' of Strasbourg Law
The aim of this essay is to comment on Russia's accession to the Council of Europe and its probable accession to the European Convention on Human Rights from the perspective of the legal theory concerning the nature of obligation in international law and the law-like character of international law. The facts of Russia's accession test a philosophical argument that has been made elsewhere about the nature, efficacy and 'legality' of the legal syst…

The Declaration of Independence, the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen, and the Bill of Rights
In reviewing the literature of any discipline, including that of human rights law, it is all too easy to overlook canonical texts on the assumption that they are already too well-known. However, canonical texts can take on new significance when considered in their historical contexts, contexts that may well be forgotten though the exact words of the documents are still remembered. Here I briefly review three canonical texts in the literature of h…

Somber Reflections on the Compulsory Jurisdiction of the International Court
The Military and Paramilitary Activities case deepens the gloom already surrounding the two forms of the International Court’s compulsory jurisdiction. Neither Article 36(2) of the ICJ Statute, which confers general compulsory jurisdiction upon the Court in cases of reciprocal state declarations, nor that part of Article 36(1) which vests jurisdiction when treaties so provide has been particularly successful in recent practice. No one denies that…
