Book Description
This article summarizes the arguments made against the juvenile death penalty in a U.S. Supreme Court amici curiae brief in Domingues v. State, 961 P.2d 1279 (Nev. 1998), cert. denied, 528 U.S. 963 (1999), and rebuts some of the State's propositions made in its response. It argues that United States' obligation to faithfully comply with its treaty obligations (particularly under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights), as well as the customary international law and jus cogens norm do not permit the execution of juveniles for crimes committed while below the age of eighteen.

Human Rights Litigation Promoting International Law in U.S. Courts
Author: Ying-Jen Lo
Publisher: LFB Scholarly Publishing
ISBN:
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 326
Book Description
Annotation Lo studies how human rights organizations and individual activists have sought to influence American courts on death penalty law and refugee policies. In doing so, she studies whether neutral legal rules have affected judges decision-making. She concludes that judicial attitude matters most in litigation since judges enjoy autonomous authority in adjudicating cases. Twin goals should dominate human rights activists agenda: to socialize U.S. judges to international human rights law through tools such as case briefs, amicus statements, and seminars and to extend this socialization to the executive and legislative departments, which, directly or indirectly, influence the courts.
