• International Human Rights Law, Global Economic Reforms, and Child Survival and Development Rights Outcomes

Are recent trends in international law supporting child rights and promoting neoliberal economic reforms complementary or contradictory? To answer this question, we identify the component parts of child rights mobilization, recent global economic reforms, and child rights outcomes to theorize the particular relationships among them. Focusing on child survival and development rights in 99 poor and middle-income countries from 1983 to 2001, we find that countries' acquiescence to established international law concerning economic rights influences the successful implementation of most of these rights, while the ratification of child rights treaties does not show an effect during the period studied. National links to child rights nongovernmental organizations are also associated with improv...

• The Unsettled Status of Economic Refugees From the American and International Legal Perspectives-a Proposal for Recognition Under Existing International Law

Human migration is an ancient manifestation of human freedom that long preceded creation of the modern nation-state concept. As a result of globalization, the freedom of movement is increasingly recognized in the international legal order. A primary motivation for emigration is the disparate socioeconomic conditions between countries. Nevertheless, the legal status of economic refugees-the subclass of economic migrants who emigrate to permanently escape economic oppression-remains unsettled under both American domestic legislation and codified international law. In this Article, Professor Gabor and Mr. Rosenquest investigate the state of existing American and international law, neither of which directly addresses the status of economic refugees. The authors argue that Article 55 of the ...
