Thursday October 30, 1997 Edition
    Row Erupts in Britain Over Ensuring Civil Rights
    Alexander MacLeod, Special to The Christian Science Monitor LONDON Britain is about to turn its back on a key aspect of its own 300-year-old legal tradition and embrace a human rights system that has operated in continental Europe since the end of World War II. But the government's decision to give British judges the power to enforce a right of privacy and other fundamental civil liberties is running into fire from critics. They call it a betrayal of parliamentary democracy and a sure-fire recipe for conflict between the judicial and legislative branches of government. GUN CONTROL PROTEST: Britons have no constitutional right to such actions as free speech.
    (MICHAEL STEPHENS/AP) Unlike the United States, Britain until now has not codified its civil rights. Journalists, for example, have no First Amendment-style guarantees of free speech and freedom of the press. Home Secretary Jack Straw declared, "This is an historic day," when the new human rights bill was published last Friday, in the first step toward legislative approval. "We are about to bring British rights home," he said. Britain signed the European Convention on Human Rights after World War II, but never incorporated the convention into its own laws. As a result, appeals against British legal decisions have to be lodged with the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, France. Cases take an average of five years to resolve and seldom cost individuals less than £30,000 [$48,000].

65. INTERNATIONAL LAW - Law Enforcement V. Civil Rights
Domestically, the US has seen significant legal developments affectinglaw enforcement, civil rights, immigration, and international trade.

A LEGAL PERSPECTIVE INTERNATIONAL LAW
Law Enforcement v. Civil Rights
By Lawrence Hanson World events continue to focus the attention of lawyers everywhere on the role of the rule of law. Domestic and international attention to the war against terrorism, the balance between civil rights and law enforcement, and the practice of commercial law in the post-9/11 commercial environment all continue to pose a unique challenge for lawyers at home and abroad.
Perhaps most encompassing of all is the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, which is the largest restructuring of the federal government since at least World War II. At the writing of this article, congressional authorization for the Department of Homeland Security had been enacted but details concerning the future internal relationship of what once were competing departments have not yet been finalized or even addressed.
The coming year promises to be no less an interesting and exciting time for lawyers engaged in the practice of law on an international or transnational level. The International Law Section will be monitoring these events continually and we welcome new members who share our interests in these areas.

HEADQUARTERS Rallies Also Take Place In Over 30 Cities Around the Country PHOTO: Jonathan Prince, IMC Over 1,000 people came out today to protest the Bush/Ashcroft assault on civil rights and civil liberties in Washington D.C., demanding the repeal of the USA PATRIOT Act and other unconstitutional measures. Along with demonstrations held over the weekend in thirty other U.S. cities, the actions launched a nationwide campaign called by the A.N.S.W.E.R. coalition to defend civil rights and civil liberties While the government has tried hard to single out and demonize one segment of the population under the phony "war on terrorism," today the Arab, South Asian and Muslim communities were joined by anti-war activists, civil rights attorneys and others who are angry at Bush's campaign of racist profiling and mass detentions.

JAN. 15-21, 2002 International A.N.S.W.E.R. - Act Now to Stop War and End Racism - is calling for internationally coordinated days of protest from Jan. 15-21, 2002. Jan. 15 will be the birthday of the great civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., and commemorations of his life will continue through Jan. 21. Jan. 16-17 will be the 11th anniversary of the start of the Gulf War. Today, the Bush administration and the Pentagon are intent on expanding their war against Afghanistan to many other countries. President George W. Bush has ominously stated that "next year will be a war year." At the top of their list of proposed targets is Iraq, a country that has suffered 11 years of blockade and bombing, taking the lives of more than one-and-a-half million Iraqis, half children under the age of five years. At the same time, the U.S. government is intensifying its war at home, attacking civil rights, civil liberties and immigrant rights. The war makers and big business are reaping additional billions in government subsidies, while there are no benefits for the millions of unemployed workers. Racial profiling has been legitimized by the government and racist attacks against Arab Americans, Muslims, South Asians and other communities of color are on the rise.

With the theme "End the Occupation!", the Conference is set to follow the general debate of the fifty-seventh session of the General Assembly. The two-day plenary will be devoted to discussions on "The daily face of occupation", "Civil society and occupation", "Challenging the occupation," and "Ending the occupation". Expert presentations on economic and humanitarian crises, strengthening networks of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in times of crisis and legislative and political advocacy will guide those discussions. The Committee also took note of the oral reports of two recent conferences the African Meeting on the Question of Palestine, and the most recent meeting of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) which marked the inaugural Summit of the African Union.

Optional Protocol on the involvement of children in armed conflict
detailed table of participants Optional Protocol on the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography
detailed table of participants The human rights of children and the standards to which all governments must aspire in realizing these rights for all children, are most concisely and fully articulated in one international human rights treaty: the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The Convention is the most universally accepted human rights instrument in history – it has been ratified by every country in the world except two – and therefore uniquely places children centre-stage in the quest for the universal application of human rights. By ratifying this instrument, national governments have committed themselves to protecting and ensuring children's rights and they have agreed to hold themselves accountable for this commitment before the international community. The Convention on the Rights of the Child is the first legally binding international instrument to incorporate the full range of human rights – civil and political rights as well as economic, social and cultural rights. Two Optional Protocols, on the involvement of children in armed conflict and on the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography, were adopted to strengthen the provisions of the Convention in these areas. They entered into force, respectively on 12 February and 18 January 2002.

HOME PAGE Bay Area Issues Budget/Economy Civil Rights ... Women's Issues TOM LANTOS CHAIRS LANDMARK CONGRESSIONAL BRIEFING ON INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS AND SEXUAL ORIENTATION Press Release August 6, 1998 Washington, D.C. Congressman Tom Lantos (D-San Mateo County / San Francisco) co-chair of the Congressional Human Right's Caucus (CHRC) chaired a precedent-setting briefing on Human Rights and Sexual Orientation: the Global Struggle for Equality. The briefing was held at 4:00 p.m. Thursday, August 6th in 2203 Rayburn House Office Building. The briefing included an overview of international law and protections of sexual orientation as well as information about the range of human rights violations based on sexual orientation or HIV status. As well as expert testimony, the briefing included a question and answer session for Members of Congress. According to Congressman Tom Lantos, "This briefing represents the first time that the U.S. Congress has addressed international human rights violations grounded in sexual identity. It is imperative that the U.S. government and human rights activitists recognize that these violations fall squarely within the purview of international human rights law." Testimony will be given by representatives of Amnesty International (AI) and the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission (IGLHRC), as well as by survivors of human rights violations perpetrated because of sexual orientation. "The routine denial of basic rights to those individuals who do not fit easily within so-called Ônormal' sexual boundaries is an outrage and flies in the face of any government interested in justice and equality," said Congressman Lantos.

http://www.cirp.org/library/ethics/UN-covenant/
International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights
CIRP Introduction
The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 16 December 1966. The ICCPR was to take effect ten years later in all nations that had become state parties. A sufficient number of states had become parties so the ICCPR took effect as planned in 1976.
The United States Senate ratified the ICCPR in June 1992. The Senate took exceptions to this treaty. Amongst those exceptions are the provision that the human rights recognized by this treaty shall not be enforcable in courts in the United States. Thus the United States Senate denied Americans the legal power to secure and enforce the human rights recognized by this international covenant. CIRP presents selected articles. The full unabridged text is available elsewhere on the World Wide Web. The ICCPR contains important articles which appear to protect the child from involuntary circumcision. Article 24 provides a right of every child to special protection. This is to be applied without regard to race, color, sex, religion, social orgin or birth. The right is universal and protects every child without exception. Article 9 provides a right of security of person. Article 7 provides a right to freedom from torture, and cruel or degrading treatment. Article 26 provides a right to the equal protection of the law for all persons. Read together it appears that a child would have a right to special protection of the security of his body, freedom from torture, and cruel and degrading treatment. The special protection of the law is to be applied universally for all persons. This would seem to mean that the child is entitled to protection from circumcision by law.
