United Nations special experts have a crucial role in upholding international human rights law. These independent specialists hold mandates to report and advise on different areas within human rights as special rapporteurs, independent experts, or members of working groups. But how exactly do these appointments work, and what are the responsibilities, capabilities, and on-the-ground impacts of these experts? In this episode, we hear from our very own co-host, Professor Claudia Flores, member of the UN Working Group on Discrimination against Women and Girls and Professor Fionnuala ni Aolain, former UN special rapporteur on counter-terrorism. Professors Flores and ni Aolain describe their work as UN mandate holders and how they address the most pressing issues in their areas of expertise.
We've all heard about different kinds of laws...but there is a higher order law that often gets overlooked—it's called Natural Law. The idea behind Natural Law is that all humans are born with an innate understanding of what's right and what's wrong, and that laws should be based on morality. In today's world, where there is no shortage of international wars, authoritarian leaders, human rights violations, and more, where and how can Natural Law be applied? On this episode, we speak with Mary Ellen O'Connell, Professor of Law at Notre Dame and an expert on international law. O'Connell has been studying Natural Law over her career, and gives a justification for how it could be applied in scenarios from the Russia vs. Ukraine war, international human rights, and more.

When it comes to discussion about the conflict in Gaza, there is an endless parade of commentators on both sides telling us what is right or wrong, legitimate or illegal, a crime or a justified attack, but in all that debate and discussion the actual international laws of war often get pushed to the sidelines. We're planning to do a series of episodes on this conflict in the coming weeks, but we wanted to start by getting a baseline understand on the laws of war with an international expert.Oona Hathaway is a professor of international law and a member of the Advisory Committee on International Law at the United States Department of State since 2005. For decades, she's been exploring the complicated legal questions that are coming to the forefront since October 7th which makes her the perfect guest for this episode.

Our guest, who has been on before, is Dan Kovalik, whose latest book is The Case for Palestine: Why It Matters and Why You Should Care, with a forward by George Galloway. His previous books include No More War, which I just included in a yet-to-be-published article for a website that asks authors to recommend five books on a theme. My theme was war abolition. Dan Kovalik is a labor and human rights lawyer who has taught International Human Rights at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law.
In its latest appeal, South Africa has called on the UN's top court for urgent measures to order a halt on Israel's assault on Rafah. Since early this month, Israeli forces have been pounding the southern city where more than 1.5 million Palestinians had taken shelter, after escaping from other parts of Gaza. Hundreds of thousands are being forced to flee again. Israel says its operation is limited and aimed at targeting the last stronghold of Hamas in Rafah. South Africa calls it a 'genocidal act'. The International Court of Justice has ordered some provisional measures since Pretoria first filed a case in January. But Israel has largely ignored them. So can the ICJ enforce its orders? And will its decisions make any difference, apart from affecting world opinion? In this episode: Toby Cadman, International Human Rights lawyer. Nour Odeh, Political Analyst.

The word apartheid gets used in many different contexts to indicate the severity of crimes across the globe. But its use is controversial because the word has a very specific definition in international law. Even more controversial is the concept of expanding the term to include gender.If there is one place on earth where it could be argued that a gender apartheid designation is needed its Afghanistan. Since the US withdrawal from the country, the Taliban have instituted a brutal repression of women. But is it gender apartheid?What would it mean for us to create this designation and assign it to Afghanistan? Does cultural relativism throw a legitimate wrench into this argument or does that take the concept too far?We discuss all these questions on this episode with Mohammad “Musa” Mahmodi, a Research Fellow in Law at the Schell Center for International Human Rights at Yale, Zahra Motamedi, an Associate Research Fellow at Yale, and Karima Bennoune, the Lewis M. Simes Professor of Law at the University of Michigan and author of “Your Fatwa Does Not Apply Here”.

In recent years, international institutions have become an increasingly critical arena of contestation between autocracies and democracies. China, in particular, has leveraged its participation in those institutions and relationships with autocratic regimes to proffer narratives that support authoritarian models of governance and hide its human rights abuses. Sophie Richardson, visiting scholar at Stanford's Center for Democracy, Development and the Rule of Law and former China Director at Human Rights Watch, joined John K. Glenn, senior director for the International Forum for Democratic Studies, to discuss how the Communist Party of China, among other authoritarian actors, seeks to undermine human rights bodies within the UN system. Together, they unpack the importance of these institutions for civil society organizations and explored how democracy practitioners can shore up the global human rights system. For further insights on modern authoritarian influence, check out the International Forum's companion blog, “Power 3.0 Understanding Modern Authoritarian Influence,” and the report, “Defending the Global Human Rights System from Authoritarian Assault: How Democracies Can Retake the Initiative,” by Dr. Rana Siu Inboden.

As kids, we all heard someone tell us that it's wrong to lie...but as we grew older, we realized that people lie all the time. Politicians, presidents, and even executives at corporations tell lies—big and small. As citizens, there are obvious exceptions where lying is wrong, for instance; perjury, lying on your employment application, or lying to get a bank loan. But do we have a right to lie? And if so, what are the boundaries?On this episode, we speak with UCLA Professor of Philosophy and Law Seana Shiffrin and George Washington University Professor of Law Catherine Ross. They discuss both the philosophical arguments against lying and the legal arguments against notorious lies made by President Trump and former Congressman George Santos.
How do you stop a government from continuing to commit human rights abuses? You could take them to an international court of justice, or file a complaint at the UN. But none of those bodies have any enforcement power. Short of going to war, the only option on the table in most international situations is to name and shame. But is that strategy effective?In her new book, “The Geopolitics of Shaming: When Human Rights Pressure Works and When It Backfires,” University of Chicago political scientist Rochelle Terman argues that there is a real dilemma to international human rights pressure: Shaming is most common in situations where it is least likely to be effective; and, most troublingly, it can often make human rights abuses worse.

Seventy-five years ago, in the shadow of the Second World War, countries put their collective heads together to write a common international moral language. What resulted was the Universal Declaration of Human Rights - fundamental moral principles each and every human being was entitled to. Since then, enforcement and guaranteeing rights has sometimes been difficult, and consensus has often been hard to find. Critics wonder if human rights complaints too often come from Western mouths, and if the definition "human right" has been expanded to its detriment. Supporters of the movement say there have been major victories and that change is incremental. The Agenda debates whether the international human rights movement has become ineffective.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Katherine M. Marino is an assistant professor of history at the University of California, Los Angeles. Feminism for the Americas: The Making of an International Human Rights Movement (University of North Carolina Press, 2019) follows the many Latin American and Caribbean women in the first half of the century who not only championed feminism for the continent but also contributed to defining the meaning of international human rights. They drove a transnational movement for women's suffrage that included equal work and maternity rights and the self-determination of their nations rejecting U.S. imperialism. Marino draws attention to the enduring contributions of women such as the Brazilian Bertha Lutz, Cuban Clara Gonzales and Chilean Marta Vergara who have yet to receive a significant place in human rights history. The work of Latin American and Caribbean feminist was impeded by internal race and class conflict, insufficient funding, lack of government support and by imperial assumptions of U.S. feminists. Their tenacious efforts through multiple organizations, gatherings, and personal networks led to the inclusion of women's rights in the global human rights framework and assured that economic and social rights would not be sidelined. The book also illuminates the ideological differences that have plagued the global feminist movement and adds a significant piece to the history of human rights. Lilian Calles Barger, www.lilianbarger.com, is a cultural, intellectual and gender historian. Her most recent book is entitled The World Come of Age: An Intellectual History of Liberation Theology (Oxford University Press, 2018).

The post Men in Female Sports Could Violate International Human Rights appeared first on Wisconsin Family Council.
Challenges to Search Warrants: Affidavits and Probable Cause. While search warrants are powerful tools, they are not immune to challenges. We'll discuss how defense attorneys may challenge the validity of search warrants, focusing on issues related to the supporting affidavit and the establishment of probable cause. Understanding these challenges is essential for both prosecution and defense in criminal cases. Evolving Standards: Reasonable Expectation of Privacy. The concept of a "reasonable expectation of privacy" is central to Fourth Amendment analysis. We'll explore how this standard has evolved over time, considering landmark cases such as Katz v United States. As technology continues to reshape our understanding of privacy, how do courts adapt their interpretation of what is considered reasonable? Intersection with the Fifth Amendment: Self-Incrimination and Searches. The Fifth Amendment protects individuals from self-incrimination, and its intersection with the Fourth Amendment is crucial. We'll discuss scenarios where searches may implicate the right against self-incrimination, examining cases like Schmerber v California, which addressed the admissibility of compelled blood tests. Racial Profiling and Unlawful Stops: Constitutional Implications. An ongoing concern in search and seizure law is the potential for racial profiling and unlawful stops. We'll explore how the Fourth Amendment intersects with issues of race and law enforcement, considering cases that have examined the constitutionality of stops based on factors like race or ethnicity. International Human Rights and Search and Seizure. Beyond domestic legal considerations, international human rights principles also play a role in shaping search and seizure law. We'll briefly touch on how treaties and agreements impact the admissibility of evidence obtained through searches in countries with different legal standards. Introduction to Interrogations: Balancing Law Enforcement and Individual Rights. Interrogations are a key component of criminal investigations. Law enforcement officers use various techniques to obtain information from suspects. However, the methods employed raise important questions about the balance between effective investigation and protecting individual rights. We'll explore the evolution of interrogation practices and the legal principles governing them. Miranda v Arizona: Establishing the Right to Remain Silent. The landmark case of Miranda v Arizona (1966) fundamentally transformed the landscape of criminal procedure. The Supreme Court held that individuals must be informed of their right to remain silent and have an attorney present during custodial interrogations. We'll delve into the details of the Miranda decision, its rationale, and its impact on law enforcement practices. Custodial Interrogations: Defining the Threshold. Understanding when a suspect is considered in custody is crucial in determining when Miranda rights must be invoked. We'll explore the concept of custodial interrogations, examining how the courts determine whether a reasonable person would feel free to leave and the implications of custodial status on the admissibility of statements. Invoking and Waiving Miranda Rights: Legal and Practical Considerations. Once Miranda rights are invoked, individuals have the option to remain silent and have an attorney present. We'll discuss the legal and practical considerations surrounding the invocation and waiver of Miranda rights. What constitutes a valid waiver, and how does the voluntariness of a confession come into play? Exceptions to Miranda: Public Safety and Spontaneous Utterances. While Miranda provides crucial protections, there are exceptions. In situations where there is an imminent threat to public safety or when suspects make spontaneous statements, Miranda warnings may be bypassed. We'll examine cases that illustrate these exceptions and discuss the delicate balance between public safety and individual rights. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/support

Attacks on those protesting the Israeli state policies and practices which have maintained the violent dispossession of Palestinians have commonly misrepresented, distorted, and even manufactured disinformation. This has done great damage to the lives and careers of many. As public opinion shifts against the Israeli state, attacks by extreme Zionists have increased. On today's show we speak with two individuals about this phenomenon. Nader Hashemi and Omar Shakir help us understand it from many different angles--legal, historical, and personal.Nader Hashemi is the Director of the Alwaleed Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding and an Associate Professor of Middle East and Islamic Politics at the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University. He obtained his doctorate from the Department of Political Science at the University of Toronto and previously was an Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow at Northwestern University and a Visiting Assistant Professor at the UCLA Global Institute. Dr. Hashemi was previously the founding Director of the Center for Middle East Studies at the Josef Korbel School of International Studies at the University of Denver. His intellectual and research interests lie at the intersection of comparative politics and political theory, in particular debates on the global rise of authoritarianism, religion and democracy, secularism and its discontents, Middle East and Islamic politics, democratic and human rights struggles in non-Western societies and Islam-West relations. He is the author of Islam, Secularism and Liberal Democracy: Toward a Democratic Theory for Muslim Societies (Oxford University Press, 2009) and co-editor of The People Reloaded: The Green Movement and the Struggle for Iran's Future (Melville House, 2011), The Syria Dilemma (MIT Press, 2013), Sectarianization: Mapping the New Politics of the Middle East (Oxford University Press, 2017) and a four-volume study on Islam and Human Rights: Critical Concepts in Islamic Studies (Routledge, 2023). He is frequently interviewed by PBS, NPR, CNN, Al Jazeera, Pacifica Radio, Alternative Radio and the BBC and his writings have appeared in the New York Times, Newsweek, Wall Street Journal, The Nation, Al Jazeera Online, CNN.com among other media outlets. Omar Shakir serves as the Israel and Palestine Director at Human Rights Watch, where he investigates human rights abuses in Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza and has authored several major reports, including a 2021 report comprehensively documenting how Israeli authorities are committing the crimes against humanity of apartheid and persecution against millions of Palestinians. As a result of his advocacy, the Israeli government deported Omar in November 2019. Prior to his current role, he was a Bertha Fellow at the Center for Constitutional Rights, where he focused on US counterterrorism policies, including legal representation of Guantanamo detainees. As the 2013-14 Arthur R. and Barbara D. Finberg Fellow at Human Rights Watch, he investigated human rights violations in Egypt, including the Rab'a massacre, one of the largest killings of protesters in a single day. A former Fulbright Scholar in Syria, Omar holds a JD from Stanford Law School, where he co-authored a report on the civilian consequences of US drone strikes in Pakistan as a part of the International Human Rights & Conflict Resolution Clinic, an MA in Arab Studies from Georgetown University's School of Foreign Affairs, and a BA in International Relations from Stanford.

For the first time in decades, the future of abortion rights in the US is uncertain. With the overturning of Roe v Wade in 2022, The Supreme Court has forced Americans to reconsider and fight for a new vision of a right to abortion should be.But it's important to remember that debates about abortion don't end at our borders. The end of Roe will have global ramifications for how other countries think about abortion rights but, as the US re-enters this international debate, are their lessons we can learn from how other countries have constituted, or failed to constitute, a right to abortion?
For this episode, we have the impressive Attorney Regal Olivia from the Philippines who is a lawyer, a human rights activist, a fashion icon, a loving parent and the list goes on. This is PART one of a two-part piece. The conversation begins in Mandaue City known as the ‘Gay town of the Philippine's that has a history of supporting the LGBT community. This city is the first to host a trans pageant, support and fund gay rights advocacy, and pass an ordinance to protect diverse members of the LGBT community. On the topic of success, Regal does not consider herself successful. She believes it's a long road ahead and mentions that it's the people you meet who will define your journey. To her, success comes with contentment and she is happy for the loving and supportful relationships she has. The conversation turns to culture, where Regal shares with us her past visits to Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto, and mentions a sisterhood city in Ayabe, Kyoto. As well as her passion for fashion, Regal wants to let the listeners know the warmth and positivity of the Philippines alongside the most beautiful beaches, women, foods, entertainment, and so on. The talk covers the TedTalk by Regal and explains the reasons masks people wear to survive, in this case for transpeople who it becomes more difficult to camouflage within a society with conservative laws and policies that restrict the freedom to be oneself as an LGBT individual. ~~~Atty.

Author Dan Kovalik talks to Steve about his recent book, Nicaragua: A History of US Intervention and Resistance. His perspective includes his own experiences in Nicaragua and the personal connections he made there.From the 1910 occupation and eventual ouster of US Marines, through the dictatorships of several members of the Samosa family, the conditions for revolution were ripe. Dan describes the 1979 revolution as a David and Goliath story. The Sandinistas inherited a country steeped in poverty, with no infrastructure. The US-backed counterrevolution began almost immediately. Ronald Reagan and the Contras are just a small piece of it.Dan grew up believing the US was the beacon on the hill, committed to spreading democracy and freedom. His first trip to Nicaragua changed his politics and his life.Dan Kovalik is a labor and human rights lawyer and peace activist. He teaches International Human Rights at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law. He is the author of several books, including The Plot to Scapegoat Russia and Nicaragua: A History of US Intervention and Resistance.@danielmkovalik on Twitter

Recently the US State Department withdrew its nomination of eminent international human rights scholar Jim Cavallaro, solely on the basis of some tweets in which he called out Israeli apartheid and the undue influence of AIPAC (America-Israel Public Affairs Committee--a pro-Israel lobbying group). In 2019, Israel deported Omar Shakir, the Israel and Palestine Director at Human Rights Watch, for issuing reports calling out similar human rights violations. In this episode, we talk to both of them about their individual cases, and then do a deep dive into the difficulties of exposing Israel's violations of human rights, and talk about ways the message is getting out, nonetheless.James (Jim) Cavallaro is a visiting professor at Columbia, UCLA and Yale and a professor of the practice at Wesleyan University. He is also the Executive Director of the University Network for Human Rights.
