"The American Convention on Human Rights, adopted within the framework of the Organization of American States, is the central and essential instrument of the inter-American human rights law as elaborated by the Inter-American Commission and Court of Human Rights. This treaty, adopted on November 22, 1969, with now 23 States Parties, contains 82 articles that set out the rights and freedoms that States undertake to respect and protect, and establishes various protection mechanisms, including an individual complaints mechanism. This book offers a critical, systematic and exegetical commentary of the 82 Articles of this Convention, reflecting on the construction, often creative and avant-garde, of the inter-American human rights bodies. Doctrinal, critical and jurisprudential, this book is the fruit of reflections and research carried out by the two authors, and of a symbiotic writing. The American Convention on Human Rights is much more than just a treaty of international law. The Convention is a complex instrument, which was born in a particular context, and which reflects the inter-American human rights particularism. Of course, it is a political instrument, which was thought in the difficult context of the revolutionary fever of the late 1950s. But it is also, and above all, an instrument of progress and justice that is in line with the current of humanist thought of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the projects for the emancipation of the humankind. It is also a formidable legal instrument with exceptional normative power and potential. This treaty, as interpreted and applied by the Inter-American Commission and Court of Human Rights, has become the founding norm of a creative, sophisticated and protective inter-American legal regime for the protection of human rights, thanks to audacious and intelligent hermeneutic work, led in particular by the Inter-American Court. The persuasive force of inter-American jurisprudence attests to its argumentative quality. This Inter-American human rights law, if it embodies the hope of access to justice for some, to truth for others, or to the protection of the most vulnerable, is also, for the internationalist lawyer, a paradigm of reference for what is and what must be public international law centered on humanist and progressive values."--

Auf dem Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in Harare 1991 verpflichteten sich die Staatschefs der Commonwealth-Länder, das Problem der Armut in ihren Ländern durch Beachtung der Prinzipien von Good governance und der Menschenrechte anzugehen. Der Bericht enthüllt, dass der offiziellen Rhetorik nur wenige Taten folgten und dass weiterhin eine große Kluft zwischen Anspruch und Wirklichkeit besteht. Er untersucht die Gründe für Armut und das Versagen der Politik und zeigt, dass bestimmte soziale Gruppen (Minderheiten) besonders gefährdet sind. (DÜI-Sbd)

Page 1: The title sheet depicts an image of various people donning Ku Klux Klan outfits before a hill with a burning cross. A sign on the hill reads "Tonight: Human Rights Comm. Conviens [sic] and Gill Coliseum is behind the hill. The figure passing out the outfits is likely OSU President Jensen. A black man appears to be tied up on the hill. The artwork is explained (and apologized for) on Page 3. Page 3: "Scab Sheet Editor Speaks…" The cover artwork is explained by the Scab Sheet Editor. It is explained as depicting members of the Commission on Human Rights and Responsibilities. The Editor apologizes for the cover, indicating that it was made from personal feelings expressed 14 hours earlier, but that said personal feelings had since changed. The Editor denounces the cover artwork as "reprehensible and of no redeeming worth." Page 5: "Phase Two: HRM…" The Human Rights Movement, as proclaimed by the author, officially disassociates itself with self-governing student groups, citing fallacy in a group dominated by majority rule, in an issue regarding minorities. The movement labels the ASOSU Senate as worthless, and identifies itself as a second, alternative student government. [no headline] An excerpt from an AP story from Kansas on March 9, 1969 speculates that the events at OSU may trigger additional movements among other college athletic programs. Page 6 "Oregonian Sucks…" The Oregonian is attacked for an editorial run on March 7 which criticizes the events at OSU, and, according to the Scab Sheet, simplifies the issue. "Barometer Exists!" The Barometer is criticized for not acknowledging the Scab Sheet. In satire, the Scab Sheet acknowledges that the Barometer does, in-fact, exist. Differences between the two papers, particularly the Scab Sheet's cost and view points, are expressed. "NSA Offers Aid…" An endorsement from the National Student Association for ASOSU President John Frazer due to his efforts with human rights is applauded. Page 7 " Arkansas Blacks Leave…" A recap is given of a walkout of 21 of the College of the Ozark's 35 black students. The students walked out because of racial tension, including disputes with the school's basketball coach over a player's "Afro hair style." "Fraser Steps Down…" Continued from Page 2. [Note: Page 2 is blank] ASOSU President John Fraser announces his resignation, effective March 23, 1969, while encouraging students to unit with concerned faculty members who support the human rights movement. "Oregon Senate Raps…" In a statement from the Associated Students of the University of Oregon, the ASUO Senate publishes resolutions to censure OSU coach Dee Andros, give support to students supporting Fred Milton, and its refusal to condone any athletic contests between U of O and OSU until the resolution of the prevalent racial conditions. Page 8 "OSU Jock Raps, Andros Sucks…" A white member of the football team, in an open letter to Coach Dee Andros, anonymously applauds his intentions, while simultaneously criticizing his methods. The coach is complimented for his attempts at team unity, but is accused of unintentional racism. "Student Power Ignored…" President Jensen's authority is questioned regarding his appointment of three students to the Commission on Human Rights and Responsibilities. The author claims that the appointments were illegitimate as the authority rested only with the student government.
