The Role Of Women Judges On International Courts And Tribunals

In this articles the author is argued by listing points to show or to prove women are treated with injustice and that they are not treated equality to men,

Throughout history many U.S. Supreme Court Justices have served for numerous years on the Supreme court making final decisions on diverse cases that have created long lasting impacts. The current supreme court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and former justice Sandra Day O’Connor have not only made an impact but are proof that women are equal to men when it comes to court room decisions. Throughout the essay I will explain the background of the justice, the president who appointed them, and the accomplishments made on the Supreme Court.

Perhaps, according to Bernard Schwartz, the greatest failure of American law during World War II may be illustrated by the case of Fred Toyosaburo Korematsu. As graphically described in 1944 by a member of the bench, his case is one that is unique in our system:

Gender discrimination and violence against women were not part of the Human Rights Agenda until the 1990s when feminists began to push for this change (p84/book). One of the slogans of their campaign was that “Women’s Rights

On February 21, 1936 is when the strongest woman in the supreme court changed court history. Her name is Barbara Jordan. I chose Barbara Jordan because when she lost a campaign or had less votes than anyone else she never stopped. Also she was a very educated and powerful woman. This paper will present important career and biographical information about Jordan.

In this paper, I will discuss a number of topics regarding woman and the Supreme Court from historical precedents to objective research to the importance of female judges and Justices and finally to the possibilities of the future. Each of these steps is vital to fully understanding how we got to our country’s current place in female jurisprudence and creating future opportunities for women both on the Supreme Court and in all other levels of the judicial system across the United States.

Mr. Akram Dejam is a foreign resident alien. He arrived in the United States in 1996 from Yugoslavia. His immigration and naturalization file indicates that he was born in 1970 in Sarajevo. In connection with his immigration, Mr. Dejam stated that during the years 1988¬ to 1993 he was a student. Recently, the U.S. Office of Special Investigations (OSI) received information that Mr. Dejam was perhaps not just a student during these years. In fact, he may have been a war criminal, formerly engaged in atrocities during the on-going civil war in his home country. Based on this information, the OSI is now investigating Mr. Dejam. In connection with this investigation, OSI has issued an administrative subpoena demanding that Dejam produce documents

For this paper, I watched a video on C-Span on women’s right call Women’s Right are Human Rights”The subject matter was how important was empowering women, and such women’s right as reproductive rights, equal pay, and equal representation. The significance of the forum with Rep. LLeana Rose- Lehtinen was that we need to promote the rights of women because women have been subjective to harassment, discrimination and denial of equal rights.

In her essay, “A Note of Justice, Care and Immigration Policy”, Annette Baier states that there are multiple attitudes in which immigration policies can be approached. From a feminist ethics point of view that would be best suited with regards to international ethics is that in which she describes as “universalist and rights-based” (Baier 150). In this approach “all foreigners would have the same right to apply for a visa to enter a given country, and only those with some special legally recognized claim (those seeking political

According to Major General Charles Dunlap, Jr., U.S. Air Force (ret.), lawfare is defined as “the strategy of using-or misusing-law as a substitute for traditional military means to achieve a warfighting objective.” Orde F. Kittie, author of Lawfare: Law as a Weapon of War and professor of law at Arizona State University’s Sandra Day O’Connor School of Law, provides a compelling analysis of the use of lawfare in recent history, both by U.S. and foreign entities. He shows how even non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are able to effectively use law as a weapon against foreign and domestic actors, motivating them to make changes which benefit the particular NGO. The major point that Kittrie attempts to make in his work, however, is the lack of acceptance that lawfare has been given by the United States government. He compares our use of lawfare to that of China, U.S. private sector entities, the Palestinian Authority and Palestinian NGOs, Hamas and Israel, effectively

some women's activist thinkers battle that globalization has empowered ladies to assert their human rights by making "new spaces, establishments and talk where the idea of all inclusive human rights is an intense justificatory standard" (Walby 2002). Others credit globalization for the rise of new universal non-legislative associations and women's activist social developments, which have fortified the overall development for ladies' human rights (Robinson, 2003). The "ladies' rights and human rights" development has utilized the dialect of human rights to scrutinize numerous attacks on ladies' respect that were already thought to be normal or unavoidable. For example, the development has demonstrated that misuse in the private circle, for example,

Gender is a critical dimension of judicial diversity illustrated by the proportions of positions awarded to the males and females on the judiciary. There are different ways of rationalising judicial diversity where judicial appointments follow policy and law that promotes equal opportunities. The judiciary needs to show sensitivity to the experiences and needs of the different elements of legal systems where the judiciary requires illustration of diversity for service as well as diverse judiciary with increased accountability of legal democracies. The current preclusion the gender incorporation dictates the alternative dimension regarding judicial diversity. Features of judicial initiatives towards achieving ethnic and gender diversity are assessed through qualitative and quantitative perceptions and experiences of judicial bias.

The European Court of Justice (ECJ), first created by the European Coal and Steel Community in 1951 is situated in Luxembourg. The court’s main objectives were the interpretation and the consistent and uniform application of the treaty across all Member States. With the exception of the Maastricht Treaty (1992) the ECJ has gained influence through the different treaties over time. The ECJ unlike any other international justice system is able to cooperate directly with its citizens who are able to directly invoke a European provision before a European Court through ‘direct effect’. Further EU law has supremacy over the national laws in individual Member

Clarence Darrow made these comments to a group of women lawyers in Chicago in 1895 (Champagne). This idea was not uncommon in its time and in some instances continues today. Law schools are approaching

This essay will look at the case of Bhe v Magistrate Khayelitsha , and analyse the decision in light of postcolonial feminism. It will examine whether the concept of equality can be reconciled with customary practices in South Africa, or whether these practices are outdated and have no place in a modern democratic society like South Africa, where equality and human dignity are fundamental concepts our society is built on. The assumption that the law in some way reflects unequal power relations between men and women is central to most feminist jurisprudence . All feminist thinking has a political aspect that engages ideas as to how things "ought to be" in an ideal world . It is therefore necessary to describe what exactly postcolonial
