REIMAGINING WORKERS’ HUMAN RIGHTS: TRANSFORMATIVE ORGANIZING FOR A SOCIALLY AWARE GLOBAL ECONOMY
Dean Hubbard
Hastings Race and Poverty Law Journal
Volume 5, Number 1, Winter 2008 p.1
LAW JOURNAL / LAW REVIEW
This article illustrates a strategy to reconceptualize workers’ rights activism to achieve systematic transformation of the global political economy emphasizing the disproportionate toll of neo-liberal economics on women, poor people, and people of color. The first section demonstrates the way in which existing structures in international human rights law can work to provide a normative foundation to this goal. The second section emphasizes the essential next step toward reaching this transformation in what the author terms, Socially Aware Global Economy (SAGE) organizing. SAGE organizing first, reimagines the labor movement through grass roots, transnational organizing, second, revitalizes economic human rights law by incorporating legal work and transformative organizing, and third, facilitates popular participation in the construction of alternative institutions and policies. These elements provide a framework through which global workers may find courage, and egalitarian, popular-democratic, systemic economic, and political transformation is possible.

THE SEXUAL ASSAULT OF WOMEN DURING ARMED CONFLICT OR CIVIL DISTURBANCE
Grant Niemann
Criminal Law Journal
Volume 30, Number 1, February 2006 p.8
LAW JOURNAL / LAW REVIEW
The international criminal law applicable to the regulation and control of sexual offences committed against women during the course of armed conflict and civil disturbance has gone through a process of significant development during the last 15 years. Prior to the 1990s, the enforcement record of these crimes at an international level was unsatisfactory. Feminist thinking and the ability of women to influence the development of customary international humanitarian law applicable to these crimes has played an important part in this process. However, the creation of the international criminal tribunals has provided the mechanism by which these changes have occurred. In this article the reasons for these sexual assaults is considered and various explanations are offered. The horrific extent of this offending is canvassed. However, there is justification for a guarded but cautiously optimistic prediction that perhaps the record of enforcement of these crimes may at last have some possibility of improvement particularly if developments in the law and social conditions are permitted to continue.
