The Change in Judicial Practice in Cases Concerning Civil Disobedience Protests and its Constitutional Significance
Since the enactment of the Human Rights Act, the law concerning civil disobedience has changed dramatically. Originally sceptical about this form of protest activity, the UK courts now recognise the value of civil disobedience and the need for its protection on the grounds of free expression and assembly. Yet, as lawbreaking plays a crucial part in civil disobedience, the shift in judicial attitude may also affect how we view civil disobedience a…
Reconsidering Sentencing Principles in Cases of Civil Disobedience: Cuadrilla Bowland Ltd and Others v Persons Unknown and Others
Common law courts have struggled to offer a consistent basis for sentencing in cases concerning civil disobedience. This case note examines the recent Court of Appeal decision Cuadrilla Bowland Ltd v Persons Unknown , concerning individuals convicted of contempt for defying injunction orders to refrain from continuing their direct‐action protests at a fracking site run by an oil company, with a view to immobilising its business operations. The no…
Reservations as Unilateral Acts? Examining the International Law Commission's Approach to Reservations
The law of unilateral acts and the law of treaties are generally considered to be two distinct areas of international law. While the former governs the effect of unilateral undertakings by States, the latter governs, inter alia , the formation, interpretation, termination, and suspension of treaties. In 2011, the International Law Commission (ILC) concluded a two-decade study on reservations. One of its most remarkable insights is the argument th…
Liav Orgad, The Cultural Defense of Nations: A Liberal Theory of Majority Rights
Contemporary diversity is increasingly complex. As human movement increases in scale, countries are increasingly prompted to re-examine the policy frameworks they have established in building a multicultural society.1 One of the major issues concerns that of immigration and naturalization. To many, cultural differences as a result of the insufficient assimilation of migrants give rise to serious domestic tensions and discontent. This thought, how…
Has Intersectionality Reached its Limits? Intersectionality in the UN Human Rights Treaty Body Practice and the Issue of Ambivalence
In recent decades, the concept of intersectionality occupied an important place in the practice of United Nation’s human rights treaty bodies. A concept devised to provide a more nuanced way of capturing the multi-faceted experiences of oppression, intersectionality was widely thought to be an effective tool to address discrimination against an individual’s multiple identities. Yet a careful examination of the United Nations human rights treaty b…
Culture as Collective Memories: An Emerging Concept in International Law and Discourse on Cultural Rights
For many years legal scholars have sought to elaborate on the notion of culture in the context of cultural rights. Various expressions of the concept can be found scattered in different international instruments. The multiple meanings that the concept evokes can sometimes be confusing and the variations easily affect the obligations that States are required to comply with. This article gives an account of how these different understandings of cul…
