The Canadian charter of rights and freedoms
Can human rights and freedoms be guaranteed by writing them into a state's constitution? Adopted in 1982, the Canadian Charter— influenced by the US Bill of Rights and the creation of the UN system—aims to do just this.

Indeed a substantial literature examining these issues —issues arising, in part, out of the United States’ a…
Communist China—To Recognize or Not to Recognize
no recent question has had so divisive an influence on Perhaps Anglo-American unity as what to do about Communist China. Only Germany presents a challenge of equal political and technical magnitude but, save for French fears, Germany is not a cleavagemaker of the same order among the Atlantic allies.
