Far-reaching frontiers where refugees are fleeing violence and political turbulence. UCLA School of Law is making a difference in the centers where preeminent advocates, scholars and diplomats are doing the world’s most impactful human rights work, thanks in great part to Professor E. Tendayi Achiume. In 2017, Achiume was named the United Nations’ Special Rapporteur on Contemporary Forms of Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance. In the role, she is an independent expert who conducts fact-finding visits, works directly with nations to effect change, and writes periodic reports to the UN Human Rights Council and the UN General Assembly. Born and partly raised in Zambia, Achiume is the first woman and the first person from southern Africa to serve as Special Rapporteur on Racism in the 25-year history of the position. And UCLA Law students are an integral part of her effort to perform her mission. “It’s a privilege to serve in this role, and UCLA Law students provide me with the vital legal support I need to be able to perform it well,” Achiume says. “Our students in turn have the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to global human rights policy- making. From our newly established Promise Institute for Human Rights to our respected Critical Race Studies program, UCLA Law students are uniquely well-trained to provide assistance to UN mechanisms dedicated to racial equality.” In July, at the 38th Session of the Human Rights Council in Geneva, Achiume offered her first reports as special rapporteur. One addressed racial discrimination in citizenship and immigration law and policy as a global problem, highlighting the role that national security and economic anxieties have played in exacerbating such discrimination against refugees, immigrants and racial and religious minorities. Her other report addressed the threat to racial equality posed by resurgent glorification of neo-Nazism and other white supremacist ideologies. She was joined there by Sarah Rahimi ’19 and Kristi Ueda ’19, students in UCLA Law’s International Human Rights Clinic, and Sarah Khanghahi ’16, who is a Promise Institute Fellow. 4 UCLA LAW MAGAZINE | FALL 2018 Rahimi, Ueda and Khanghahi helped draft an amicus brief request for the European Court for Human Rights, prepared and edited statements for Achiume, and participated in a dialogue with the Human Rights Council and leaders of global nongovernmental organizations regarding the reports on neo-Nazism and racial discrimination in immigration. “My time in Geneva made clear to me how much important, difficult and absolutely necessary work is being done around the world to combat racial discrimination, and how much our work as students, members of the International Human Rights Clinic, and future attorneys can help shape that work,” Rahimi says.

THE VIOLENT BEAR IT AWAY EMMETT TILL & THE MODERNIZATION OF LAW ENFORCEMENT IN MISSISSIPPI ∗ ANDERS WALKER ABSTRACT Few racially motivated crimes have left a more lasting imprint on American memory than the death of Emmett Till. Yet, even as Till’s murder in Mississippi in 1955 has come to be remembered as a catalyst for the civil rights movement, it contributed to something else as well. Precisely because it came on the heels of the Supreme Court’s 1954 ruling in Brown v. Board of Education, Till’s death convinced Mississippi Governor James P. Coleman that certain aspects of the state’s handling of racial matters had to change. Afraid that popular outrage over racial violence might encourage federal intervention in the region, Coleman removed power from local sheriffs, expanded state police, and modernized the state’s criminal justice apparatus in order to reduce the chance of further racial violence in the state.

  • Case No. 21184/01/16 State Attorney of Israel V. Breaking the Silence
    Case No. 21184/01/16 State Attorney of Israel v. Breaking the Silence Brief of Amici Curiae Prof. Eva Brems Anthony Lester, QC Gilbert Marcus, SC Prof. Monroe Price Prof. Andrey Rikhter Prof. Herman Schwartz Prof. Yuval Shany Prof. Dirk Voorhoof Prepared with the assistance of the Open Society Justice Initiative 1. As experts in the field of international law on freedom of expression and comparative media law, we provide this submission to assist the Petah Tikva Magistrates’ Court in its deliberations on the State Attorney’s request for a warrant for the production of documentation held by Breaking the Silence (BtS). The submission provides an overview of international law and standards relevant to the issue, as well as legal precedents established at the domestic level in other democracies. 2. This brief was drafted by the Open Society Justice Initiative. We have requested Michael Sfard, attorney for BtS, to file the brief with the Court. 3. This submission addresses two issues: A. The right to protect sources extends to non-governmental organizations such as BtS. It is well-established in international law that media workers and outlets enjoy a right to protect their sources of information, subject only to narrow exceptions. This right derives from the right to freedom of expression. The practice of international courts and mechanisms, although limited, indicates that the right to protect sources is not limited to traditional journalists and media, and can also be invoked by other social communicators, notably non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that gather and publish information of public interest. A number of precedents established at the domestic level in other democracies lend further support to this view.

    www.napipa.org NEWS RELEASE For Immediate Release For More Information, Contact: February 26, 2016 Alexander Adams (408) 808-3728 NAPIPA URGES PRESIDENT OBAMA TO NOMINATE A QUALIFIED ASIAN AMERICAN JUSTICE TO THE SUPREME COURT SAN JOSE, CA – The National Asian Pacific Islander Prosecutors Association (“NAPIPA”) urges President Obama to nominate a qualified Asian Pacific Islander (“API”) Supreme Court Justice. NAPIPA is a non-profit professional organization dedicated to advancing the interests of prosecutors of API heritage and promoting a greater understanding of the criminal justice system in the API community. NAPIPA has members across the country, consisting of federal, state and local prosecutors, elected officials, and law students. NAPIPA is currently made up of five chapters, including New York, Chicago, Southern California, San Diego, and Northern California. While we applaud the president for increasing the diversity of the federal bench from eight API judges to twenty-five today, we would point out that these numbers still reflect a per-capita underrepresentation of the nation’s fastest growing population group. APIs make up approximately almost 6% of the population and only 2% of the federal bench. Also, no API has ever even been interviewed by the president for the Supreme Court. “With the relatively large number of extremely well qualified API jurists for the President to choose from we hope that he will strongly consider and ultimately nominate one of them,” said Paul T. Jhin, NAPIPA President. “With important cases regarding education, discrimination, and immigration looming, the importance of having a bench that matches the diversity of the country cannot be overstated.” Here are five examples of extraordinarily qualified API candidates to the Supreme Court.

If intellectual brilliance alone were sufficient to qualify someone to serve on the California Supreme Court, then Kruger might be found qualified. But there are other qualities that are essential to doing that job, and Kruger lacks all of them. Lack of Knowledge of California Law It has been reported that Kruger has never practiced law in California. As of this writing, she is an inactive member of the State Bar of California. Her practice of law has been mainly in the federal courts. Federal law is different from California state court law in numerous respects.
