čAnn Fagan Ginger has done it again! While others are reeling from the Bush/Ashcroft assaults, she has written a great book with dozens of counter measures! — Prof. Michael Tigar, Washington College of Law, American University
What's the problem?
The President, the Attorney General, the Directors of the FBI and CIA and Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) operations are proposing legislation to Congress, writing Executive Orders and Directives, and ordering state and local officials to take certain steps. They are violating the U.S. Constitution, the U.N. Charter, and U.N. human rights treaties ratified by the U.S.
What's the answer?
There are several answers spelled out in this unique practice book. Lawyers are using articles in the U.N. Charter, a treaty and part of the "supreme law of the land," and winning cases for human rights. And they are winning by using three human rights reporting treaties ratified recently and quietly, which are included in this book.
What kinds of cases are they winning by using U.N. law?
On arbitrary arrest and detention, child abuse, child custody, deportation, due process, extradition, extrajudicial killing , female genital mutilation, freedom of expression, intimidation, right to movement, summary execution, torture.
And what ordinances are activists getting passed?
On obeying the Bill of Rights and protecting civil liberties.
