It has been a long while since the convention was last held in NYC. Through the generous co-sponsorship of the Public Interest Law Center at NYU School of Law, including Dean Trevor Morrison, Assistant Dean for Public Service Lisa Hoyes and Prof. Helen Hershkoff, our conference this year has access to wonderful Greenwich Village classroom meeting facilities and dormitory housing. Our sincere thanks to NYU for partnering with us. 2016 is turning out to be a turning point year for law in our country. Thus, we feel especially privileged to engage allies from social justice organizations in New York and the East Coast in discussions about the future of crucial progressive issues. The Supreme Court is in the balance for the next generation; public figures project a vision which is less fair, less tolerant, and downright racist. Shocking as these times are, this is when the NLG needs to be at its best to defend peoples’ rights. Hard times have often brought out the best in the NLG. From the Guild’s early beginnings, when it was formed as a racially and ethnically integrated alternative to the segregated American Bar Association, NLG-NYC members have played an integral role.

A special salute goes to Lisa Borge, Programs Manager of the NYU Law Public Interest Law Center. The New York City Chapter has been fortunate to have generations of members who have worked in support of movements for social justice. They have founded projects that have gone on to become national programs or nonprofit organizations, and started law collectives, movement offices, and public interest law firms.

Within two years a second party – the Communist Party of the Philippines (cpp) – had been founded. In this work I argue that it was the political program of Stalinism, embodied in both parties through three basic principles – socialism in one country, the two-stage theory of revolution, and the bloc of four classes – that determined the fate of political struggles in the Philippines in the late 1960s and early 1970s and facilitated Marcos’ declaration of Martial Law in September 1972. I argue that the split in the Communist Party of the Philippines was the direct expression of the Sino-Soviet split in global Stalinism. The impact of this geopolitical split arrived late in the Philippines because it was initially refracted through Jakarta.

  • Interdiction of Haitian Migrants on the High Seas: a Legal and Policy Analysis

    Interdiction of Haitian Migrants on the High Seas: a Legal and Policy Analysis

    Interdiction of Haitian Migrants on the High Seas: A Legal and Policy Analysis Claire P. Gutekunstt In September 1981 President Reagan announced a policy of interdic- tion of undocumented migrants on the high seas. The interdiction pro- gram involves boarding vessels suspected of carrying illegal migrants, questioning those aboard, and returning to their home country all per- sons determined to lack valid entry documents or colorable claims to refugee status. To date, the Reagan Administration has implemented the program only with respect to Haitian migrants, although the policy as announced was not limited to Haitians. Interdiction underscores a basic ambiguity in the definition of a refu- gee in domestic and international law. The ambiguity centers on the point at which an individual, leaving one country and attempting to enter another, attains refugee status with its attendant protections. The an- nounced interdiction policy is based on the premise that whatever rights people might have to leave their country, admission to another country is not a right, but a privilege, which may be granted or denied by national governments. This premise does not acknowledge the tension existing between national sovereign rights and international principles governing asylum, and thus the legal status of the interdiction policy is uncertain. Because the United States is a leader in the development of interna- tional law, and because it so frequently is the intended destination of migrants, its policies and actions concerning immigration and refugees can have impact far beyond individual cases and strictly national con- cerns. They may affect the immigration policies of many other states and, ultimately, the international treatment of refugees.

TANI Ephram (Fedya) Nestor, a Bulgarian-born immigrant to the United States, was "an unusual person," according to his second wife Barbara. She met him in 1933 when he was selling vegetables from his car and remembers not really liking him. "He stayed too long," he "talked too much," and worst of all to this devoted radical, he "passionately espoused the cause of Communism [but] he didn't know too much about it." Interviewed when she was ninety, sharp-witted Barbara Nestor still recalled how Fedya em- barrassed her at a Marxist study group with his "foolish" statements and obvious lack of knowledge about Marx or communism. His family agreed he was "not much of a Communist" when he joined the local party in 1936 and could not be trusted with the simplest duties.' Nonetheless, the federal 1.
