Your browser does not support script Previous Title Conclusion: Need for Multi-Level Constitutionalism Protecting Human Rights More Effectively The universal recognition and protection of inalienable human rights at national, regional and worldwide levels requires a new human rights culture and a citizen-oriented national and international constitutional framework different from the previously prevailing state-centered conceptions and functionalism. In Europe, the emergence of "multi-level governance" has led to "multi-level constitutionalism" and "divided power systems" that have succeeded in overcoming Europe's history of periodic wars and of "constitutional failures" of nation states to protect human rights and peaceful division of labor across frontiers. Just as within federal states "the federal and state Governments are in fact but different agents and trustees of the people, instituted with different powers, and designated for different purposes" , international law and international organizations must be understood as parts of the constitutional limitations on abuses of foreign policy powers necessary for protecting human rights more effectively. National constitutional law and human rights cannot achieve their objectives unless they are supplemented by international constitutional law and by effective protection of human rights in the economy no less than in the polity.

Your browser does not support script Previous Title Next 8. Can a "United Nations Action Program" Succeed in Integrating Human Rights into the Law of Worldwide Organizations? The incorporation of human rights into European integration law reflects effective protection of human rights in both the national and European economy and polity of EU member countries. UN human rights law, by contrast, has not succeeded so far to protect human rights effectively in the national and increasingly globalized economy and governance systems of all UN member states. Initiatives for integrating human rights into the law of worldwide organization are unlikely to come from specialized economic organizations like the WTO. More than 50 years after the Universal Declaration on Human Rights, it is time for a comprehensive UN program for integrating human rights in a coherent manner into the law of worldwide organizations so as to "constitutionalize" the world economy and global governance. Are the powers of the UN (e.g. under Articles 62-64 of the UN Charter) sufficient for bringing about the needed "human rights revolution"? In contrast to the anti-market bias of earlier UN recommendations for a "New International Economic Order" , the recent UN Secretary-General's report on "Globalization and its impact on the full enjoyment of all human rights" is characterized by a balanced attempt at reconciling human rights, market competition and globalization. It emphasizes

"Human Rights Abuses Worldwide Are Held to Fall Under U.S. Courts" By LINDA GREENHOUSE The New York Times June 30, 2004 WASHINGTON, June 29 - A Supreme Court decision on Tuesday kept federal courts open to lawsuits by foreigners who allege that they were victims of serious human rights violations anywhere in the world. The decision interpreting the Alien Tort Statute came as a relief to human rights organizations that had feared the court would accept the Bush administration's invitation to narrow the application of the 215-year-old law. At the same time, the result was a sharp disappointment to international business interests, which have been alarmed by increasing use of the law to sue multinational corporations for human rights violations and had looked to the Supreme Court to curb the trend. The case before the court did not involve a corporate defendant, and the 6-to-3 decision did not conclusively resolve the status of such cases. That opportunity may come soon, because lower courts with corporate cases on their dockets have been deferring decisions while waiting to see how the Supreme Court would rule in this case. A case brought on behalf of residents of Myanmar charging the Unocal Corporation with human rights violations in connection with a gas pipeline project has already been argued before the federal appeals court in San Francisco and could reach the Supreme Court quickly.

AN APPEAL TO THE DEANS OF LAW SCHOOLS WORLDWIDE "International law, only yesterday a seemingly quiet backwater in human affairs, is reaching into hitherto unimagined fields. The nations of the world have acceded to an unprecedented number of agreements in virtually all branches of human activity - from the ocean floor to the planet's climate to outer space - in only the last forty years. There has been a truly astonishing growth of public international law which will accelerate into the coming century. The pressing need for an international system based on law has never been so evident." Dear Colleague, This message at the dawn of the new millenium should reach you through the Legal Adviser of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of your country or through some other channel. Irrespective of how it has found its way to you, I ask you to take a few minutes of your busy time to read it. The message concerns you in your capacity as Dean of a Law School, and the decision you will make after reading it will be of great importance for all those who study and will study law at your institution and for whose education you bear a responsibility. As it appears from the quotation, international law has become an ever more important ingredient in the finely spun web that connects us all both within countries and across borders. New dimensions have been created through cyberspace, and the Internet makes it possible for people to communicate all around the globe in a matter of seconds.

Such a system is essential to deter people contemplating such crimes, to allow victims to obtain justice and redress and to support reconciliation between the groups or states involved in a conflict. The twentieth century was perhaps the bloodiest in history. Millions of people were victims of genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, torture, extrajudicial executions and "disappearances." These crimes were committed throughout the world during international and civil wars and in conditions of "peace." Despite the extent and horrific nature of the crimes witnessed in the 20th century, shamefully only a handful of perpetrators have ever been brought to justice. The majority of prosecutions were for crimes committed in World War II, and, more recently, in the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda. In these situations the international community established international tribunals to prosecute the most serious cases. In the cases of the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, the national courts are also conducting some prosecutions. In a small number of cases, national courts in other countries have investigated and prosecuted individuals accused of the crimes who entered their territory .

They will be asked to share their views on the limits to warfare set by international law and on how to improve compliance with the Geneva Conventions and other humanitarian treaties. These will be published along with the results of a parallel survey conducted in countries at peace. The participants’ personal stories will be portrayed in publications, the media and on an interactive web site. The project is intended to increase awareness around the world of the rules that already exist to protect people in wartime and to encourage discussion of humanitarian law in the context of modern-day conflict. In Colombia, the first round of the study is currently being conducted among displaced civilians, former hostages, soldiers, guerrillas, security detainees, medical personnel and members of the general public. The interviews conducted so far have yielded a fascinating insight into how people perceive the conflict in Colombia and its consequences for their country, as well as their views on the limits set by humanitarian law and the dilemmas that arise in practice.

The purpose of the letter was to urge President Wolfensohn to recognize and advocate for the independence and integrity of the Inspection Panel in the upcoming Board review. While the Panel structure and process has remained largely untouched thus far, several proposals to be presented at the Board review suggest that this may not be the case in the near future.
