  • Reparations for the Slave Trade: Rhetoric, Law, History and Political Realities”
    ©Rhoda E. Howard-Hassmann Feb 5, 2007 1 WORKING PAPER “Reparations for the Slave Trade: Rhetoric, Law, History and Political Realities” Rhoda E. Howard-Hassmann Canada Research Chair International Human Rights Wilfrid Laurier University Waterloo, Ontario, Canada N2L 3C5 [email protected], +1 (519) 884-0710 ext 2780 Neither this paper, nor any part of it, is to be reproduced or circulated without permission of the author. Note to Readers: This paper is drawn from my book in progress (with Anthony P. Lombardo), Reparations to Africa, especially chapter 5 (“The Slave Trade: Law and Rhetoric”), chapter 6 “The Slave Trade: Debates,” and chapter 1, “Reparations to Africa: A New Kind of Justice.” Introduction This paper considers the call for reparations to Africa from the West, for the trans-Atlantic slave trade, as a form of transitional justice between regions (the West and Africa), which might result in better understanding—and less political resentment, between the two areas. Nevertheless, the call for reparations is so far ridden with rhetorical over-statements, misunderstandings of international law, and misinterpretations C:/reparations/working papers/UConn march 12 07 ©Rhoda E. Howard-Hassmann Feb 5, 2007 2 of history. These are unlikely to result in any material reparations from the West to Africa for the slave trade. The discussion below focuses especially on the 2001 United Nations World Conference against Racism in Durban, South Africa, and on the call for reparations by the Group of Eminent Persons (GEP) established by the Organization of African Unity in 1992. The two remaining active members of the GEP in the early twenty-first century were Ali Mazrui and Jacob Ajayi.

    PJS 494, Human Rights: History and Theory Spring 2015, Tuesday-Thursday, 2:30-3:50 p.m., KIJP 215 Dr. Everard Meade, Director, Trans-Border Institute Office Hours: Tuesdays, 4-5:30 p.m., or by appointment, KIJP 126 ixty years after the passage of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, there’s widespread agreement over what human rights should be. And yet, what human rights are – where they come from, how best to achieve their promise, S and what they mean to people living through war, atrocity, and poverty – remains more contentious than ever. This course explores where human rights come from and what they mean by integrating them into a history of attempts to alleviate and prevent human suffering and exploitation, from the Conquest of the Americas and the origins of the Enlightenment, through the First World War and the rise of totalitarianism, a period before the widespread use of the term “human rights,” and one that encompasses the early heyday of humanitarianism. Many attempts to alleviate human suffering and exploitation do not articulate a set of rights-based claims, nor are they framed in ways that empower individual victims and survivors, or which set principled precedents to be applied in future cases. Indeed, lumping human rights together with various humanitarian interventions risks watering down the struggle for justice in the face of power at the core of human rights praxis, rendering the concept an empty signifier, a catch-all for “doing good” in the world. On the other hand, the social movements and activists who invest human rights with meaning are often ideologically eclectic, and pursue a mix of principled and strategic actions.

    POLICY PAPER November 2016 THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION AUTHOR: AND THE STRUGGLE TO Charles J. Brown Leonard and Sophie Davis PREVENT ATROCITIES IN THE Genocide Prevention Fellow, January – June 2015. Brown is CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC currently Managing Director of Strategy for Humanity, LLC. DECEMBER 2012 – SEPTEMBER 2014 1 METHODOLOGY AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This report is the product of research conducted while I was the Leonard and Sophie Davis Genocide Prevention Fellow at the Simon-Skjodt Center for the Prevention of Genocide at United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM). It is based on a review of more than 3,500 publicly available documents, including material produced by the US and French governments, the United Nations, the African Union, and the Economic Community of Central African States; press stories; NGO reports; and the Twitter and Facebook accounts of key individuals. I also interviewed a number of current and former US government officials and NGO representatives involved in the US response to the crisis. Almost all interviewees spoke on background in order to encourage a frank discussion of the relevant issues. Their views do not necessarily represent those of the agencies or NGOs for whom they work or worked – or of the United States Government. Although I attempted to meet with as many of the key players as possible, several officials turned down or did not respond to interview requests. I would like to thank USHMM staff, including Cameron Hudson, Naomi Kikoler, Elizabeth White, Lawrence Woocher, and Daniel Solomon, for their encouragement, advice, and comments. Special thanks to Becky Spencer and Mary Mennel, who were kind enough to make a lakeside cabin available for a writing retreat.

TilE VIETNAM WAR ON TRIAL: TilE COURT-MARTIAL OF DR. HOWARD B. LEVY ROBERT N. STRASSFELD• This Article examines the history of a Vietnam War-era case: the court-martial of Dr. Howard B. Levy. The U.S. Army court-martialled Dr. Levy for refusing to teach medicine to Green Beret soldiers and for criticizing both the Green Berets and American involvement in Vietnam. Although the Supreme Court eventually upheld Levy's convicti on in Parkerv. Levy, ill decision obscures the political content of Levy's court-martial and its relationshipto the war. At the court-martialLe vy sought to defend himself by showing that his disparaging remarks about the Green Berets, identifying them as "killers of peasants and murderers of women and children," were true and that his refusal to teach medicine to Green Beret soldiers was dictated by medical ethics, given the ways in which the soldiers would misuse their medical knowledge.

The Freedom Center facility initially included the John Rankin Library, but funding issues eventually lead to the elimination of the librarian position and closing the library to the public. In the fall of 2007, the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County and The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center entered into an agreement for their John Rankin Library to be housed at the Main Library in downtown Cincinnati as a long‐term loan. The initial loan period is 10 years. The items from the Freedom Center have been added to the Library’s catalog and have been incorporated into the Main Library’s Genealogy & Local History collection. These materials are available for the public to check out, if a circulating item, or to use at the Main Library, if a reference work. The unique nature of the Freedom Center’s collection enhances the Main Library’s reference and circulating collections while making the materials acquired by the Freedom Center again available to the public.
