Extractions: The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (16 December 1966) The right to return is most clearly enshrined in the 1966 International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) under its provisions on the right to freedom of movement (Article 12). Freedom of movement has two main components: an internal aspect, relating to freedom of movement within a country (Article 12 (1)); and an external aspect comprising freedom of movement between States. The latter includes the right to leave one's country (Article 12 (2)), and the right to enter one's "own country" (Article 12 (4)). Article 12 of the ICCPR states: The above-mentioned rights shall not be subject to any restrictions except those which are provided by law, are necessary to protect national security, public order (ordre public), public health or morals or the rights and freedoms of others, and are consistent with the other rights recognized in the present Covenant.

Towards a Rights Based Perspective on Disability PART V. Rights of Special Groups with Disabilities Article 8 of the UDHR underlines the sweeping customary requirement that everyone has the right to an effective remedy at law for acts violating the "Â…fundamental rights granted him by the law and the Constitution." The ICCPR restricts in article 2 (3) the right to an effective remedy at law to a redress only of the rights and freedoms recognised by the Covenant itself. But this text legitimately requires direct observance of its provisions without regard to national laws or constitutions. Article 14 also recognizes the customary right of access to courts, as supplemented by the Human Rights Committee's General Comments. The right to life constitutes the most fundamental of rights to the extent that it is the pre curser to all other human rights guarantees. Article 6 of the

Extractions: Shopping Cart Reviews Table of Contents In 1958, an African-American handyman named Jimmy Wilson was sentenced to die in Alabama for stealing two dollars. Shocking as this sentence was, it was overturned only after intense international attention and the interference of an embarrassed John Foster Dulles. Soon after the United States' segregated military defeated a racist regime in World War II, American racism was a major concern of U.S. allies, a chief Soviet propaganda theme, and an obstacle to American Cold War goals throughout Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Each lynching harmed foreign relations, and "the Negro problem" became a central issue in every administration from Truman to Johnson. In what may be the best analysis of how international relations affected any domestic issue, Mary Dudziak interprets postwar civil rights as a Cold War feature. She argues that the Cold War helped facilitate key social reforms, including desegregation. Civil rights activists gained tremendous advantage as the government sought to polish its international image. But improving the nation's reputation did not always require real change. This focus on image rather than substancecombined with constraints on McCarthy-era political activism and the triumph of law-and-order rhetoriclimited the nature and extent of progress.
