'Judicial murder' puts democratic values on trial

Article Abstract:

The recent Commonwealth Heads of Govt Meeting in Auckland put to the test a new method for sanctioning countries violating the Harare Declaration and put on display the conflicts and tensions to which international bodies are now subject. Anger over France's resumption of nuclear testing in the S Pacific led to a potential disruption of Commonwealth unity, ultimately avoided. Nigeria's actions, and particularly its execution of Ken Saro-Wiwa, resulted in the first imposition of the Millbrook Commonwealth Action Programme.
