Trial Justice: the International Criminal Court and the Lord's Resistance
Army
Tim Allen
Zed Books (21 March 2006)

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has run into serious problems with
its first big case - the situation in northern Uganda. There is no doubt
that appalling crimes have occurred here. Joseph Kony's Lord's Resistance
Army have abducted thousands, many of them children, and have systematically
tortured, raped, maimed and killed their victims. Nevertheless, the ICC has
confronted outright hostility from a wide range of groups, including
traditional leaders, representatives of the Catholic and Anglican Churches
and non-governmental organisations. Even the Ugandan government, which
invited the ICC to become involved in 2003, has been expressing serious
reservations. For many, the Court is spoiling the peace process and is
making continued warfare and suffering more likely.
This book argues that much of the antipathy to the ICC is based upon
ignorance and misconception. Drawing on field research in Uganda, it shows
that victims are much more interested in punitive international justice than
has been suggested, and that the ICC has made resolution of the war more
likely.

Budgeting for Women�s Rights

Monitoring Government Budgets for Compliance with CEDAW
Diane Elson

People�s access to services and resources are largely determined by
government budget policies. Gender budget initiatives around the world
have attempted to systematically examine how government budgets address
discrimination with regard to women�s access to housing, employment,
health, education, and other services. Often these exercises have been
eye-openers: a budget analysis of domestic violence policies and laws in
seven countries in Latin America, for example, revealed that
appropriations for domestic violence programmes and interventions were
non-existent in all cases. Similar evidence of gender discrimination is
found when examining taxation policies.

This publication adds a landmark to the discourse on the link between
human rights standards and government budgets. It elaborates on how
budgets and budget policy-making processes can be monitored for
compliance with human rights standards, in particular with the
Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against
Women (CEDAW). Combining substantive analysis with country examples, the
publication explores how a rights-based budget analysis can be applied
to public expenditure, public revenue, macroeconomics of the budget, and
budget decision-making. In the context of discussions on aid
effectiveness, direct budget support, and accountability Budgeting for
Women�s Rights is of particular relevance.

NEW TITLE

Conference "Human Rights - Disability - Children:Towards international instrument for disability rights - the special case of disabled children" Proceedings (24/04/2006)

Too many people with disabilities, particularly children, continue to experience isolation, stigma and social exclusion because they live in specialised institutions. The Conference "Human Rights- Disability-Children: towards international instrument for disability rights - the special case of disabled children", organised by the Council o1 Europe in Strasbourg (8-9 November 2004) under its Norwegian Chairmanship, reviewed current Council of Europe instruments to promote and protect the rights of people with disabilities. It focused in particular on the right of children with disabilities to grow up within a family and in a community context. The event, attended by more than 100 participants from 34 Council of Europe member and observer states, clearly showed that strengthening the rights of children with disabilities within a non-discriminatory framework "from patient to citizen" is a pan-European issue. The concrete follow-up of the conference is provided by a multidisciplinary ad hoc group of experts who, in the framework of the forthcoming Council of Europe Action Plan to promote the rights and full participation of people with disabilities in society: improving the quality of life of people with disabilities in Europe (2006 2015), will draw up recommendations and guidelines for the deinstitutionalisation of children with disabilities, promote the policy of community living and support families to care for their disabled children at home.

Minority Rights Jurisprudence - Digest (16/10/2006)

Minority rights jurisprudence digest is a comprehensive yet analytical classification of cases on international and regional jurisprudence on minority rights and, at present, it is the only digest of judicial practice in the area of minority rights. It provides a comparative approach to the study of minority rights jurisprudence and details the emerging international and regional standards in this field. The work covers the principal international bodies that have issued authoritative statements on issues of relevance to minorities. It deals with the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights (Council of Europe); the African Commission on Human and People’s Rights; the European Court of Justice (European Union); the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, the International Court of Justice; the Permanent Court of International Justice and the United Nations Human Rights Committee. Materials from judgments and reports are organised according to key analytical concepts and there is a summary of all the cases cited, along with the corresponding application numbers and the list of headings under which each case has been classified. Minority rights jurisprudence digest will prove to be of considerable importance for academics, practitioners or professionals working in the field of minority rights, as well as for undergraduate and postgraduate students following human rights and minority law courses. Alcidia Moucheboeuf holds an undergraduate degree in Political Science from the Institut d’Etudes Politiques of Aix-en-Provence, and a Masters degree in Human Rights from the London School of Economics and Political Science. She completed this work while working as a Research Associate at the European Centre for Minority Issues (ECMI), in Flensburg (Germany).

Constitutionalism is becoming the prevalent form of governance in Africa. But how does constitutionalism deal with the lingering effects of colonialism? And how does constitutional law deal with Islamic principles in the region? African Constitutionalism and the Role of Islam seeks to answer these questions.

OMCT is launching the 4th volume of its Handbook Series - "Seeking Remedies for Torture Victims: A Handbook on the Individual Complaints Procedures of the UN Treaty Bodies" - next week on Tuesday 21 November, 18:00, at the University of Geneva, Uni Mail.

Complicity with evil
Fergal Keane

'Complicity with Evil': The United Nations in the Age of Modern Genocide
by Adam LeBor
Yale University Press £17.99

The title of Adam LeBor's new book on the United Nations comes from the pages
of one of the most devastating international documents produced since the end
of the Second World War.

It concerned the murder of around 800,000 people in a tiny central Africa
nation over a three-month period in 1994 and it was written by the UN. This
latter fact is surprising, given that the UN effectively accused itself of
being 'complicit with evil' because of its failure to stop the Rwandan
genocide.

Studies in International Law - no. 10
The Development of Human Rights Law by the Judges of the International Court of Justice
Shiv Bedi

The jurisprudence of the International Court of Justice generally demonstrates that no rule of international law can be interpreted and applied without regard to its innate values and the basic principles of human rights. Through its case-law the ICJ has made immense contributions to the development of human rights law, and in so doing continues to provide solutions to mounting international problems, such as terrorism and unilateral use of force. Part I of the book argues that the legislative spirit of contemporary international law lies in the doctrine of human rights and that the spirit of human rights doctrine lies in the principle of human dignity. Furthermore it argues that the processes of international legislation and international adjudication are inseparable, and that there is no norm of international law which does not intertwine the fundamental principle of human dignity with human rights doctrine. Hence human rights law is more a school of law than merely a normative branch of international law, and the ICJ's willingness to engage in the development of human rights law depends upon which judicial ideology its judges subscribe to.In order to evaluate how this human rights spirit is manifested, or occasionally not manifested, through the vast jurisprudence of the ICJ, Parts II and III critically examine the Court's principal contentious and advisory cases in which it has treated human rights questions. The legal reasoning of the Court and the opinions appended to its decisions by its individual judges are analysed in light of the principle of human dignity and the doctrine of human rights.

Shiv Bedi is Head of the Archives Division of the International Court of Justice in the Hague.

The law of the Council of Europe Convention on Human Rights relating to aliens has developed significantly over recent time. In 25 years the number of contracting States has doubled and the scope of rights and freedoms guaranteed under the convention has broadened with the adoption of new protocols. Protocol No.11 has reformed the convention control bodies and mechanisms in order to accommodate the increasing case-load. Further major amendments are foreseen by Protocol No. 14 to improve the effective operation of the ECHR faced with an ever-increasing volume of applications, whereas Protocol No.12 has enlarged the non-discrimination clause contained in Article 14 of the ECHR to “any rights set forth by law”. At the same time, important demographic changes have taken place. The growing integration of the states of the European Union has created greater mobility for its citizens; and political and economic pressures have given rise to an increasing number of refugees and asylum-seekers from Europe and beyond. It is against this backdrop that the position of aliens in relation to the European Convention on Human Rights is re-examined in a third edition.

Author: Eric REEVES

There are no trains leading to the death camps of Darfur. Transportation takes the form of militarily coerced displacement, forcing the African tribal peoples of Darfur, bereft of all resources, to trek over a harsh and unforgiving landscape. The international community has waited too long, the words have come too late--- and the actions that such words now demand are even more belated. The terrible crimes occurring in Darfur must not be ignored. The cries of the dead and dying demand justice; future génocidaires are listening closely noting carefully all failures of international resolve.

To Save Her Life: Disappearance, Deliverance, and the United States in Guatemala

By Dan Saxon

Dan Saxon is a prosecutor at the United Nations International Criminal Tribunal
for the Former Yugoslavia.

by Filip Spagnoli, Algora Publishing (March 22, 2007)

Book Description:

Here in a nutshell readers may find a description of the most important characteristics of human rights, and a clear and concise discussion of the problem of making human rights real and not just hypothetical. Building on definitions of human rights used by the United Nations and other international bodies, the author describes the main characteristics of the system of human rights (universality, interdependence, differences between types of rights, absolute or limited rights, the subjects of rights - individuals or groups, the link between rights and the judicial system and between rights and democracy). He then discusses some of the instruments we can use to promote respect for human rights, the means by which we might make these rights real for a greater portion of humanity. Along the way, he analyzes some of the related controversies regarding sovereignty, international intervention, and globalization and questions of cultural imperialism as they bear upon human rights. Do we have a right to impose rights - or to defend ourselves from such intervention? This systematic discussion presents a complex and difficult topic in an understandable framework accessible to the general public, and will stand as a useful foundation for readings of more specialized scientific, legal and philosophical works. Where most human rights books for the nonspecialist focus on specific instances of rights abuses, this work provides a more general approach focused on the logic in the system of human rights.

The demand for accountability for human rights violations is heard throughout the world as never before. This volume explores current developments in the prosecution of human rights crimes on the national and international level. Experts from several countries discuss relevant topics from the academic debate, describe the practice in different countries, and analyze problems which have arisen in this new and exciting field of law. They strike a balance after the first years of the International Criminal Court and a growing universal jurisdiction practice and give the reader a present-day overview of attempts to bring to justice major figures like Augusto Pinochet and Donald Rumsfeld as well as lesser known ones.

Title: Luarca Declaration on the Human Right to Peace
Author: SSIHRL (Spanish Society for the Advancement of International Human Rights Law)
Publisher: Madú Ediciones. www.edicionesmadu.com
Published in Oviedo (Spain). August 2007
17 x 24 cms
530 pages
23 euros

The Luarca Declaration on the Human Right to Peace –a book written in four languages: Spanish, Catalan, English and French- is guided by a holistic idea which links peace to the establishment of a new international economic order. Such order would eliminate the inequality, exclusion and poverty which generate structural violence incompatible with peace. The Declaration represents the contribution of the Spanish civil society to the international debate which will conclude in 2009 with the adoption of a final text by the international civil society. The SSIHRL will then submit such text to the United Nations Organization, urging it to initiate a process of official codification which should culminate with the adoption by the General Assembly of a Universal Declaration on the Human Right to Peace.

The Council of Europe has been dedicated, since 1949, to upholding human rights, the rule of law and pluralist democracy. Terrorism repudiates these three fundamental values and the Council of Europe is determined to combat it. The Council of Europe has drafted a number of international legal instruments and standards which reflects the importance it attaches to combating terrorism and illustrate the underlying message of the Organisation, which is that it is possible to fight efficiently against terrorism while upholding the basic values that are the common heritage of the European continent. The updated, enriched fourth edition of this book contains these texts and is intended to provide a handy, comprehensive document.

Point of view - Point of Law Guantánamo: violation of human rights and international law? (01/10/2007)

What are the rights of the prisoners held by the United States at the base in Guantánamo Bay? Is their imprisonment lawful? Should we be thinking about strengthening the Geneva Conventions and changing international law? The Parliamentary Assembly, and hence the 47 member states of the Council of Europe, has spoken with one voice, condemning this flagrant violation of human rights and demanding the closure of the Guantánamo detention centre. This book contains all the Assembly's arguments, along with the study by the Venice Commission, which brings all its legal expertise to bear in considering whether the detention of people by the United States in Guantánamo Bay is lawful and if there is a need for a change in international law.

Asylum and the European Convention on Human Rights (Human Rights Files No. 9) (28/11/2007)

Political upheavals, economic reforms, social instability and civil war have all been factors contributing to changes in the mixed flows of migrants both to and within Europe. Many of those in need of international protection are forced to seek it in Europe and the new member states of the enlarged Council of Europe are now also experiencing the arrival of asylum seekers. This revised edition considers the substantial body of case law of the European Court of Human Rights which has examined the compatibility of the Convention with measures taken by states in relation to all aspects of the asylum process. It also observes the role of subsidiary protection offered by the Strasbourg organs in protecting those at risk of prohibited treatment. In addition, the study considers the increasingly relevant provisions of EU law developments in the field, as well as measures taken in the context of terrorist threats – both of which have had a significant impact on the practical circumstances and law on refugees and asylum seekers.

State of human rights and democracy in Europe (04/12/2007)

Protecting human rights and promoting democracy are the Council of Europe's two main tasks. But to what extent do the 47 member states live up to their commitments in these two crucial areas? The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe tried to answer this questioning an unprecedented political debate during its April 2007 session. This first debate was attended by parliamentarians from throughout Europe, the main partners in the global human rights community - the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch - and the managers of the main Council of Europe monitoring mechanisms. The texts contained in this publication show that despite undoubted progress, Europe is still afflicted by serious human rights violations, including enforced disappearances, extra-judicial executions, torture and secret detentions, as well as shortcomings in democratic processes.
