The ‘delicate plant’ of free speech needs water: Coleman v Australia
John Chesterman
Alternative Law Journal
Volume 32, Number 1, March 2007

The legal experiences of Australian agitator Patrick Coleman show the fragility of freedom of speech in Australia. Coleman was imprisoned as a result of giving a political address in a downtown mall. After exhausting all domestic avenues of appeal, Coleman took his case to the United Nations Human Rights Committee , which found that the application of the local by-law in question amounted to a breach by Australia of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights .

Customary law: Sex with under-age ‘promised wives’
Ken Brown
Alternative Law Journal
Volume 32, Number 1, March 2007

This article examines two recent decisions in the Northern Territory on the sentencing of middle-aged male offenders charged with unlawful under-age sex with ‘promised wives’. The author argues that some judicial officers have given too much weight to claims made by defendants seeking to justify their actions by reference to cultural factors and traditional beliefs and not enough weight to the feelings of, or harm done, to child victims or the expressed need of the relevant legislation and international human rights charters to protect young girls.

Coming Apart At The Seamline-The Oslo Accords And Israel’s Security Barrier: A Missed Opportunity
Seth Benjamin Orkand
Gonzaga Journal of International Law
Volume 10, Issue 3, 2006-2007

In 2004, the International Court of Justice and the Israeli Supreme Court both ruled on the legality of the barrier that Israel is constructing along the ‘seamline’ between Israel and the West Bank. While they differed in their outcomes, both opinions were based on international humanitarian and human rights law, and neither court found it necessary to discuss the obligations that the Israelis and Palestinians had made in signing the Oslo Accords. This paper examines several possible explanations for this omission, ultimately concluding that the Oslo Accords were binding on the parties as subjects of international law, and they continued to remain in force at the time of the court decisions.
