Argentina's human rights: crisis in transition

Article Abstract:

Argentina's transition from a military to a democratic form of government has ironically made it difficult for domestic human rights organizations to rally the public's support to redress past governmental human rights violations. Therefore, they are unable to remedy persisting police brutality, arbitrary detentions and imprisonment or widespread discrimination. Argentinian organizations must educate the public about past and continuing abuses, including the injustice in recent democratic leaders' blanket pardons of all military officials accused of human rights violations, and continue to provide legal services for abused citizens.

Arming the march to Capitol Hill: behind the scenes with the NLGLA

Article Abstract:

Speakers addressing the Spring 1993 meeting of the National Lesbian and Gay Law Association urged support of a national bill of rights for homosexuals. Among the political office holders and civil rights advocates who urged support of national legislation and an end to discrimination against homosexuals was law professor Chai Feldblum who is primarily responsible for drafting the bill of rights in her capacity as legal counsel for the Human Rights Campaign Fund. Feldblum outlined several cases that lend support to the argument that the military ban on homosexuality is unconstitutional.

How to stem the erosion; a practical guide to using the Civil Rights Act of 1991

Article Abstract:

Congress used the Civil Rights Act of 1991 to deal a blow to a series of attempts by the Supreme Court to limit the means of challenging violations of civil rights. Section 703(k)(1)(B)(i) relieves a plaintiff of the burden of providing evidence of each discriminatory employment practice. Section 104 requires the defendant to prove job-relatedness. Section 105 requires employers to show allegedly discriminatory practices were job-related and necessary for their business. Jury trials for damages are required under the act.
