International Obligation to Counter Gender Apartheid in Afghanistan
The following article was first published in the Columbia Law Journal and is reproduced with permission and an updated introduction. Since they returned to power in August 2021, the Taliban are again imposing a regime of gender apartheid in Afghanistan in violation of international law, just as they did in the 1990s. Given that it is pervasively discriminatory, gender apartheid poses specific human rights problems requiring particular, heightened…
Multi-Directionality and Universality
Advancing the goals of feminist international law in the twenty-first century requires renewed commitment to universality, and a deft multi-directionality. The iconic 1989 demonstration organized by British Asian women in support of the writer Salman Rushdie, condemned to death by a fatwa from Ayatollah Khomeini, provides a helpful metaphor. Campaigners from Southall Black Sisters and Women Against Fundamentalism led the protest carrying signs pr…
Comment les droits culturels protègent-ils la diversité
Dignifying, Restoring, and Reimagining International Law and Justice Through Connections with Arts and Culture
This symposium provides a critical opportunity for international legal scholars to engage with the value and power of certain aspects of culture. The successive holders of the UN mandate on cultural rights have declined to define culture, instead taking a holistic, inclusive approach to its meanings, including inter alia diverse forms of artistic and cultural expressions, languages, worldviews, practices, and cultural heritage. Cultural rights—in…
Lest We Should Sleep”
Any meaningful human rights law approach to COVID-19 must be holistic and recognize the breadth of the challenges to both economic, social, and cultural rights, and civil and political rights. It must be grounded in the threat posed by the disease but also address responses to it, and implicate a wide range of state and nonstate actors. Such an analysis should offer a positive vision of effective global reaction, and counter attempts to hijack ri…
As-SalĀmu ‵Alaykum? 1 Humanitarian Law in Islamic Jurisprudence
This chapter examines Islamic legal doctrine in the field of humanitarian law and considers the historical contributions made by Islamic law to contemporary international humanitarian law. It is important to study the law, regardless of its application, to understand the historical contributions of Islamic jurisprudence to the development of international humanitarian law. The chapter presents an honest appraisal of Islamic humanitarian precepts,…
The Paradoxical Feminist Quest for Remedy
This article analyses Jane Doe v. Islamic Salvation Front et al., an Alien Tort Claims Act (ATCA) case brought in the United States by the late Rhonda Copelon, a leading feminist international lawyer. Bennoune explores the experiences of the Jane Doe plaintiffs, exposing the limited legal avenues that were available to them at the time. She finds that Copelon's creative ATCA litigation strategy embodied a symbolic, feminist act in the paradoxical…
The International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights as a tool for combating discrimination against women
The International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) is vital to protecting the human rights of women. This is reflected in the substantive rights which the treaty guarantees and its procedural emphasis on non-discrimination. The ICESCR now has 151 State Parties, as compared with 180 states that have ratified the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW). While the latter is a lightn…

Sovereignty vs. Suffering'?1 Re-examining Sovereignty and Human Rights through the Lens of Iraq
This portion of the title is borrowed from a New York Times Op-Ed suggesting that it was Iraqi sovereignty which obstructed international protection for the Kurds. This appeared less than a month after the Gulf War, a conflict which had, at least ostensibly, been about defending the very
Algerian Women Confront Fundamentalism
Algeria's current crisis has found its way to the front pages of many U.S. and European newspapers and magazines. Not surprisingly, the situation of Algerian women within that crisis and the assault on their rights by Algerian Muslim fundamentalists do not figure as central issues in the media portrayal of this moment in Algerian history. Press reports and those of major human rights organizations have shared this gynopia, and this particular asp…
An Arab American's Experience in the Occupied Territories
An Arab American's Experience in the Occupied Territories
Given the events of December 1987 and January 1988, I felt that it might be useful to describe my experiences in the occupied territories during the 1987 AAUG summer youth trip. My very short encounter with the Israeli military authorities clearly demonstrates why Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza are now taking to the streets with rocks in their hands. The experience began when I crossed the Allenby Bridge from Jordan to the West Bank with …
