Richard Pierre Claude epitomized the scholar/activist. As a student
at Florida State in 1960, he sat down with friends at a lunch
counter in Tallahassee in violation of municipal law. He had a
distinguished career at the University of Maryland. One of his
proudest achievements was the founding of the Human Rights
Quarterly, which he edited for four years. The impetus
for founding HRQ was that the human rights field
was dominated by lawyers, and while a number of social scientists
were interested in doing scholarly work on human rights, the
traditional journals were not receptive to this subject matter.
Claude's vision for HRQ may be evidenced by the
results from Project Muse, an electronic website administered by
Johns Hopkins University Press. Of the 436 journals on Project Muse,
Human Rights Quarterly ranked third in terms of
downloads of articles in 2010, with 207,440.

I would like to address myself to international outlaws and what domestic procedures are available to arrest their activities. While at first glance the nexus between domestic justice and international justice may seem tenuous, I wonder: Is it surprising that the same administration that is so insensate over the deprivation of the human rights of blacks in Southern Rhodesia is the same administration that proclaimed early in its tenure that if you have seen one slum you have pretty much seen them all, and hasn't visited another since? Is it surprising that the same administration that evidences so little concern over the political rights of the majority in Rhodesia is the same administration that "bugs" and sabotages the political process within the United States?
