Extractions: Subject Matter Index It is a great pleasure to see The American University Journal of International Law and Policy (the Journal ) commit significant resources and space to publish a unique and comprehensive index [ ] to the case reports [ ] of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights the (Commission). The project to create an index is a collaboration of the Journal and students or research assistants working in the International Human Rights Law Clinic (the Clinic). [ ] This brief introduction to the accompanying index is more than a recitation of its conception. Rather, it provides a background into the creation of the index, describes its contents, gives the reasons for the index, and identifies suggested directions to allow litigators wider access to the jurisprudence of the Inter-American human rights system. The Washington College of Law opened the Clinic in the fall of 1990 with significant support from a federal grant through the U.S. Department of Education. At that time, I had ample experience as a clinical teacher and observer of Latin American legal systems, but I had no litigation experience in the field of international human rights law. Potential venues for the Clinic's human rights work included domestic political asylum cases and international litigation in various mechanisms of the United Nations and the Organization of American States. The Clinic's ultimate decision to focus much of the litigation work in the Commission stemmed from its location here in Washington, my past experience in Latin America, and the close historical ties between the law school and the Commission. Upon beginning, however, I quickly discovered the difficulty in researching the case decisions of the Commission.
Extractions: Data retention is no solution The European Digital Rights Initiative , a federation of European NGOs, has started an international campaign against the proposed retention of everyone's internet and phone logs. Data retention is currently being pushed forward by the UK, French and Swedish Governments despite having been rejected as incompatible with privacy and data protection rights by MEPs. GreenNet believes that blanket retention would inevitably be used to trace minor infringements and political activity, rather than being useful against a serious terrorist threat. The new petition calls on the European Commission to 'examine the proposal very critically in these difficult times'.

Barker, THE ABUSE OF DIPLOMATIC PRIVILEGES AND IMMUNITIES: A NECESSARY EVIL? (Dartmouth: 1996) [283] The sensational (and sensationalistic) book by US journalists entitled ,cite>Diplomatic Crime: True Stories of Crimes by People Who Live Above the Law,/cite> (Knightsbridge: New York) was, until now, the most widely available treatment of this subject. A British Lecturer in Law has now provided a succinct, authoritative, and well-written analysis of the dilemma associated with diplomatic immunity. There is an ever-present concern with the Vienna Convention notion of diplomatic immunityspawned by the need to facilitate diplomatic intercoursewhen crimes are committed by those protected by its immunities. This work addresses the attempts to reconcile competing considerations, as well as identifying the horns of this "necessary evil." The opening chapter identifies the problem, the practice, and ancient roots. The two ensuing chapters then trace theoretical underpinnings and the current law of diplomatic immunity. Chapters Five though Seven pinpoint methods of control, and responsive national and international measures. Chapter Eight raises the question of whether the abandonment of the "representative character" theory necessitates a duty to waive immunity in favor of a right of direct action against the offender. The remaining two chapters analyze the continuing necessity of immunity to the diplomatic function, and a brief conclusion focused on the British response to the 1984 incident generating heated popular debate over the continuing vitality of diplomatic immunity.

Extractions: Traditionally the US will act against elected governments in Latin America that show inclinations to redistribute wealth and challenge imperial/corporate hegemony. Aside from destabilization as was the case against the Allende government in Chile in 1973 utilizing covert operations. Oil wealth makes it difficult for the US to employ economic intervention as effectively in Venezuela, as it has in the cases of Nicaragua and Haiti. Washington exploits and expands existing social-cultural contradictions in order to further its interests, creating if need be its own social base.
Pressure Mounts For Haiti's Aristide To Resign Everyone sees quite well that a new page must be opened in haiti s history, All rights Reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2004/2/26/94508.shtml
Extractions: Thursday, Feb. 26, 2004 Foreigners fled the island nation amid isolated looting Wednesday. The U.N. Security Council scheduled a meeting on Haiti for Thursday. President Bush said the United States was encouraging the international community to provide a strong "security presence." Warning that Haiti is quickly heading toward chaos, France called for Aristide's resignation and the immediate establishment of a transitional government. "As far as President Aristide is concerned, he bears grave responsibility for the current situation. It's up to him to accept the consequences while respecting the rule of law," Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin said in a statement Wednesday. "Everyone sees quite well that a new page must be opened in Haiti's history, while respecting the dignity and integrity of all the protagonists," he said. Haiti is France's former colony. In Haiti, a leader of the group of rebels that has overrun half the country urged Haitians to stay indoors if fighting nears the capital.

Extractions: Philadelphia Close to 1,000 people participated in a march and car caravan through the streets of West Philadelphia on April 24 to demand freedom for political prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal and to celebrate his contributions to the struggle for liberation on the occasion of his 50th birthday. This demonstration stretched for blocks in this neighborhood where Abu-Jamal spent much of his youth. Marchers gathered at Malcolm X Park at 52nd and Pine Streets where Fred Hampton, Jr., son of Chicago Black Panther Party leader Fred Hampton who was murdered by police in 1969, addressed the crowd, stating that "there can be no peace until Abu-Jamal is released." "Mumia Abu-Jamal is a victim of terrorism," said Hampton. "Every day in the Black community is a September 11th. We have an obligation to bring the demand to free Mumia into every conversation. We have to make our birthday present to Mumia a concrete commitment to demand not just freedom for Mumia Abu-Jamal, but the release of all political prisoners." Pam Africa, leader of Inter national Concerned Family and Friends of Mumia Abu-Jamal reported that the march was being held in the community where Abu-Jamal grew up to let the people know that there are people who are not afraid to stand up and say that he is innocent. MOVE supporter Orie Lumumba told the crowd about the importance of protests like today's in opposing the death penalty. "It's not in the courts' hands whether Mumia lives or dies," he stated, "It's in our hands, and we can't sit back and wait until another death penalty warrant is signed, we have to be out every day."

Extractions: It caps several years of effort, under Ron Daniels inspiring leadership, to reintroduce the United States to the physical and cultural beauty of Haiti and its people. I salute Ron and everyone else who joined his cruise. Sadly, this cruise also comes at a time of terror and tragedy for most Haitians. It sails with a heavy cargo of history.. posted by Two hundred years ago, the newborn Nation of Haiti burst upon the World. Haitians won independence unexpectedly because their determination to reject tyranny was stronger than the mighty armies of France. That victory, like our own Revolution, has been a beacon of hope to freedom-loving people everywhere. Haiti's hard-won prospects for a brighter future, however, were short-lived. Over the past two centuries this beautiful and bountiful land, once widely known as the "Pearl of the Antilles," was devastated by internal strife, natural disasters and by repeated invasion by foreign powers. Haiti was unable to develop deeply rooted economic and democratic institutions necessary for political stability and prosperity. Instead. Haiti has remained a land gripped by the wealthy, powerful few. They have forcefully resisted efforts to overcome the abject poverty and bleak existence of the great majority of their countrymen.

The Supreme Court, with the support of the Inter-American Development Bank, began a consultation with state institutions and civil society with a view to setting up a cross-disciplinary programme of professional services to address the needs of victims of domestic and sexual violence.
