Document Summary
And other international dialogues (2007: women"s lives, men"s laws (2007) Not her claim that law is inherently sexist, but right now, it is. Crimes of wars, crimes of peace (1993) by catharine mackinnon. Unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere. Without concerned citizen action to uphold them close to home, we shall look in vain for progress in the larger world. Eleanor roosevelt (1958, in a speech delivered on the 10th anniversary of the universal declaration of human rights) Thought that rape was just a fact of war. Conceptualization of rape being a human right violation (2008). Un actually declared rape as an act of war: in reality begins principle. No law is necessary, no principle is necessary. Syllogism: deductive reasoning- assuming that two premises are true. Ideas don"t work that way, they don"t arise purely from our reason but in fact come from the world.
