▼ From 1945 to 1960 Canada began to move into what has been called “the age of rights.” At the end of the Second World War the nation paid lip service to “British liberties,” but both the state and private individuals frequently violated the libertarian rights of political radicals as well as the egalitarian rights of certain unpopular ethnic and religious minorities. By 1960 a discourse of human rights had largely replaced the British liberties approach, and the country enjoyed a far higher level of respect for minority rights, in part because of a number of legal changes—Supreme Court decisions, anti-discrimination legislation, and a Bill of Rights. This dissertation examines this shift, focussing upon the activities of members of the Canadian “human rights policy community.” Relying largely upon primary resources, it presents a number of case studies, demonstrating how human rights activists dealt with the deportation of Japanese Canadians, the Gouzenko Affair, the problem of discriminatory restrictive covenants, the Cold War, the need for an effective fair accommodation law in Ontario in general and the town of Dresden in particular, and the struggle for a bill of rights. In presenting these case studies, this dissertation also focusses upon the activities of a number of key interest groups within the human rights community: the coalition known as the Cooperative Committee on Japanese Canadians, the Canadian Jewish Congress, the Jewish Labour Committee, and a number of civil liberties organizations (especially the liberal Civil Liberties Association of Toronto and the communist Civil Rights Union). Attention is paid to the reasons for their successes and failures; within the general context of economic, social, and cultural changes, special attention is paid to the way in which these interest groups made their own history, using their own history, using the resources available to them.

▼ In modern society, children are acknowledged as bearers of both children‟s rights and all other rights in the Bill of Rights which generally apply to children. One important right, outside of section 28, is that of bodily integrity or the right to control and decide what happens to their body. Therefore, children theoretically have the right to consent to medical treatment and surgery. However, children are generally deemed to lack the necessary maturity to make decisions of this nature and require parental consent before any medical procedure may be performed. Following the enactment of the Children‟s Act 38 of 2005, the age of consent for medical intervention was lowered to the uniform age of twelve. Children above the age of twelve are recognised as having the capacity to make their own decisions in respect of bodily integrity, whereas those under twelve still require parental consent. While this may be a positive evelopment, it is potentially problematic for two groups of children, known as „benefactor children‟ and „saviour siblings‟. In the last 50 years, there has been a noticeable advancement in the field of genetic research. One such development is the possibility of creating one child to save the life of another through tissue or organ donation. This has provided options to parents of children with life threatening conditions where before, there was little hope of a cure. Now, at the request of these parents, children can be specifically “genetically engineered” as an embryo, to become a tissue or organ match to a sick sibling. These children are known as „saviour siblings‟. Another group of children has emerged. While not the result of “genetic engineering”, they serve a similar purpose in being potential life-saving donors to an ill sibling and are known as „benefactor children‟. Both categories of children enjoy the protection of fundamental rights. For those who are under twelve years of age however, the right to bodily integrity can be infringed upon by the proposed surgical removal of organs or tissue for the benefit of a sick sibling, based purely on a parent‟s consent. At stake too, is the right to reproductive autonomy. Parents bear children for a number of different reasons, which can include raising a child to save the life of another. As they have the right to reproductive autonomy, adults are able to decide when they want children and for what reason they want children, which can include the various techniques used to bring about „saviour siblings‟. However, as rights are mutually interrelated and nterdependent, they cannot be viewed in isolation. Therefore, it must be asked: does a person‟s right to reproductive autonomy, as guaranteed by the Constitution, justify interference with an embryo? As an embryo is not recognised in South African law as a legal subject, it will be difficult to justify interference with this right on this basis. The right to consent to medical intervention only from age twelve was described as potentially problematic for „benefactor children‟ and „saviour siblings‟,… Advisors/Committee Members: Govindjee, Avinash Prof, Van Der Walt, Glynis Adv.

▼ Transitional justice has tended to prioritise civil and political rights (CPR) violations over economic, social and cultural rights (ESCR) violations and often left structural violence and root causes of violence un(der)addressed. This thesis advocates that when addressing violations of ESCR, the examination of structural violence and roots causes of violence is critical for transitional justice processes to provide a fully-fledged response to past wrongs. The Kurdish Question (rising from problems regarding the Kurdish identity and the protracted conflict between the Turkish state and a Kurdish separatist organisation) has long troubled Turkey. Although the Kurdish Question is mainly rooted in political and identity-based problems, the Turkish state discourse has framed it as a socioeconomic and terrorism problem. This makes the conflict and solution complex since even if the conflict is based on political problems, there remains a pressing need to deal with socioeconomic issues. Considering that transitional justice contexts are often complex (and they require complex solutions), this thesis advocates an approach to transitional justice which goes beyond pure legalism. This study examines transitional justice processes of East Timor and Peru to draw lessons from their experiences. East Timor and Peru provide important insights for Turkey as they also faced serious socioeconomic problems (violations of ESCR, and in particular forced displacement) during their transitional processes. This thesis argues that ESCR violations (especially forced displacement) and socioeconomic inequalities need to be addressed through a set of mechanisms which must be designed and implemented through a participatory, holistic, and grassroots approach. The local actors including victims and survivors must have a role in decision-making, design, management and implementation processes of transitional justice mechanisms to ensure that the response to past wrongs really answers the needs and demands of the affected people and communities. It must be noted that this thesis does not draw a roadmap for a future transitional justice process in Turkey as that needs to be done through a thorough consultation process with relevant actors. Given that the conflict is ongoing in Turkey and the country (unlike many transitional countries) has substantial resources (financial and institutional) to allocate to transitional justice efforts, Turkey is a significant case study for the field. The original contribution of this thesis to knowledge is addressing the Kurdish Question from a transitional justice point of view incorporating ESCR.

▼ This Dissertation explains the gradual erosion of the Voting Rights Act through an examination of the subterranean political battles that took place within the Justice Department, the courts, Congress, and the States between 1965 and 2013. It then looks to the future of the Voting Rights Act and offers legal and legislative strategies that could rehabilitate the statute’s framework and aims. Its central goal is to reveal like never before the hidden politics of voting policy “retrenchment.” Retrenchment refers to the efforts of opponents to reverse, blunt, or erode a policy commitment. Though scholars have come to view retrenchment as a distinctive political process focused on “blame avoidance,” rather than “credit claiming,” our understanding of this concept is still in its infancy. This Dissertation stretches our knowledge of retrenchment in three distinct ways. First, unlike prior research—which has focused nearly exclusively on conservative opposition to the distribution of benefits under programs stemming from the American welfare state—it ventures into an unexplored realm: that of civil rights generally, and the Voting Rights Act in particular. Second, this Dissertation’s examination of retrenchment efforts in each political arena is far more granular than previous studies. For instance, it drills down to the legal doctrine at issue, and explains how the policy commitments encapsulated in that doctrine were progressively weakened over forty years. Third, this Dissertation is far more rigorous in its investigation of how the political dynamics of one arena can mediate retrenchment efforts in others. Specifically, it employs an original dataset consisting of every case litigated by the Civil Rights Division’s Voting Section to show how Congress, the president, and regulated parties impact retrenchment at the Department of Justice. This Dissertation teaches that retrenchment must be understood as a multi-faceted phenomenon that occurs throughout the government ecosystem. It also instructs that the nature and form of the policy at stake are crucial to determining where retrenchment will predominate. Finally, it suggests that our definition of “retrenchment,” and the typology of methods for accomplishing it, must expand beyond their current boundaries.

▼ This study explored the balancing out of the rights associated with terrorist and counter-terrorist attacks by using descriptive case studies of the US 9/11 attacks; and the counter-terrorist attacks on Afghanistan and Iraq. The research was conducted within a critical theory paradigm, drawing on the ideas of Habermas and other Critical Theorists. The research design was influenced by the securitive and ideological nature of the topic and it was decided that an extensive review of literature would be more suitable than a field study. A small number of interviews added to the richness of the data. Human rights, needs and international relations were investigated to serve as a theoretical starting-point for the study (Chapter 2). The case studies were subsequently explored against the background of this theoretical approach. This thesis therefore assessed the impact of human rights law on terrorism and counter-terrorism attacks under the Human Rights Act (1998). It considered how the provisions of the Human Rights Act have influenced the formulation and interpretation of anti-terrorism laws, and it examined the role of the judiciary in adjudicating disputes between the individual and the state. It further discussed human needs and the progress on human rights, terrorist attacks, as well as counter-terrorism attacks. Extensive data was gathered on the 9/11 attacks, and it was concluded that these attacks fall within the definition of crimes against humanity under international human rights jurisprudence. To bring about a truly secure world we must adopt a new paradigm that shifts priority to the security of the individuals and of communities to achieving human security, the honouring of human rights, and respect for the rule of law. This will obviously require a renewed commitment by all individuals and a shared sense of responsibility for all people, all over the world. What we need now is a major course correction – a new iii A. Fabbriciani approach which begins with a broader understanding of what defines human rights and the rule of law (Wilson, 2007). The study also focuses on counter-terrorist attacks in Afghanistan and Iraq (Chapters 3 and 4). It was shown that counter-terrorist attacks had an effect on the global economic system and development policies, which have been dominated by ideological strategies for many years. However, resistance has come from Islamic states, which have realised that new-liberal economic practices are incompatible with their theological and economic traditions. This has caused a situation to rethink global development programmes by political leaders, and to move away from new-liberal schemes towards true global development strategies. One of the main findings of the study was that the crimes of persecution and torture on the basis of political or religious views have been perpetrated by both parties, namely Al-Qaeda, and the US and its allies. It has been shown that the explored acts of terrorism and counter-attacks represent crimes against humanity, as defined by the relevant… Advisors/Committee Members: Haines, Richard Prof, Botes, Lucius Prof.

Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Pauli Murray (1910 - 1985) was involved in many of the social struggles that defined U.S. domestic history during the twentieth century and achieved many pioneering “firsts.” As an African American female of non-heteronormative gender identity and sexuality, who struggled for upward social mobility, she embodied many of the central divisions over race, class, gender, and sexuality that characterized the zeitgeist of her time and place. Her struggle to overcome institutional and cultural barriers to success can be seen through the lens of identity politics. Murray struggled to reconcile the many divergent identities she embodied into a cohesive whole that reaffirmed the heteronormative values and culture of her society; at the same time that she recognized the impossibility of doing so and sought to challenge the social hierarchies of her society. This thesis explores that struggle via an excavation and analysis of her rich personal archive. Murray’s published life writing testifies to her extraordinary public achievements, which scholars have begun to acknowledge. What remains to be done, however, is to bring together evidence from her archives and published memoirs to evaluate Murray’s attempts to fashion a unified sense of self. Murray occupied spaces on the margins of already marginalized social groups and, consequently, continually sought a unifying thread to fashion a cohesive personal identity. Her life opens up multiple conversations about what it means to sit outside of social constructions surrounding race, class, gender, sexuality, and mental health; indeed, it forces a consideration of what it is to be American and, more fundamentally, human. Examining Murray’s identity performances, rather than simply commemorating her public achievements, also facilitates a critique of traditional biographical approaches, which often distort lived experience by having a commemorative focus, purporting to uncover a ‘true self,’ and selectively imposing a purpose on a life.

▼ I address an issue largely ignored by political science: the role of litigation procedure in influencing policy outcomes. The specific aim of my dissertation is to explain the phenomenon of diminishing civil trials and the concomitant policy effects caused by this diminution. I begin with the following research puzzle: United States federal civil case filings have increased steadily over time to reach the highest levels ever seen. Federal civil case filings have increased over 400% between 1964-2014. Yet, despite the increased number of case filings, the percentage of cases reaching trial is 1/12th what it was in 1964. Presently, only 1% of all cases filed reach trial. The puzzle is why have the number of trials diminished even though case filings have increased? And, does the diminution of trials have a substantive impact on national policies? My dissertation theorizes that the decrease in trials has resulted from a modification in litigation incentives created by changes to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, namely, the summary judgment process. In 1986, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a trilogy of decisions which dramatically altered the usage of summary judgment, and in so doing, the economic incentives for litigants to go to trial. To address the aforementioned questions, I utilize a multi-level research design. First, in a macro-level study of aggregate data, I utilize advanced time series methods and find structural breaks in the data consistent with these changes to the summary judgment process. Additionally, continuing the macro-level analysis, I examine the consequences of this procedural change by analyzing the effects of the change to summary judgment on federal employment discrimination cases. I find diminishing employment discrimination trials cause increased disparity in income ratios between men and women, as well as African-Americans and whites. The findings suggest that changes to legal procedure by the federal judiciary have hurt legislative endeavors to promote income equality, despite Congress? efforts to incentivize civil rights litigation. Finally, I perform a micro-level analysis evaluating case-level data. Through creation of a unique dataset, I evaluate the causes of motions for summary judgment and the determinants of judicial grants of such motions. The data suggest that several factors, including litigant resources and the type of case brought (such as civil rights cases), impact a court?s decision to dismiss claims using this procedural device. My results suggest policymakers must rethink their efforts at legislating equality through private statutory enforcement.

▼ This master thesis concerns the translation of Nina Simone’s civil rights songs. Seven songs have been translated and analyzed. These are “Ain’t Got No/ I Got Life” (1968), “Mississippi Goddam” (1964), “Sinnerman” (1965), “Four Women” (1966), “To Be Young, Gifted and Black” (1969), “I Wish I Knew How it Would Feel to be Free” (1967) and “My Baby Just Cares For Me” (1958). The last two songs form an ‘encore’ following the custom of a setlist. The majority of the first five songs were written by Simone herself, except for “Ain’t Got No/ I Got Life.” The songs in the encore were written by others, but were made famous by Nina Simone. Firstly, the Framework is set out: Nina Simone, the artist is introduced, the civil rights era in The United States is set out, and, in comparison, a character of the sixties in the Netherlands is given. What follows is the image of Nina Simone in The United States, compared to her image in The Netherlands. Other than in The United States, in The Netherlands, it is not commonly known that Nina Simone is a civil rights singer. Secondly, the theoretical framework is set out, and the applied theories in this thesis are introduced. A comparison is made between translating poetry and lyrics. Next, arguments are given to answer the question: ‘Why translate Nina Simone’s songs into Dutch?’ Thirdly, the song selection is substantiated, and the seven songs are analyzed. This part forms the majority of this thesis. The analyses are divided into translation problems regarding content and form. For the analyses of content, the theory of James S. Holmes for translating poetry is applied, since lyrics are a specific form of poetry. The socio-cultural context of the songs is described each time, as well as the literary intertext, which, in the case of lyrics concerns the music culture of the source and target public. For the analyses regarding form, the third division of Holmes’ theory is used, the linguistic context. Furthermore, Peter Low’s pentathlon principle is applied. Moreover, for each of the songs Bindervoet and Henkes’ advice is taken to heart to try and find the unique quality of the song. This quality should be honored in the translation. What follows are the translations of the seven songs, the source text and target text side by side, so that the reader can compare the texts. Lastly, the conclusion dilates upon the main research aim, explaining which strategies were used in the process of translating Nina Simone’s civil rights songs, which problems occurred and it elaborates about the process of translating the lyrics. Since content is a prime aspect of each song, the sense of Peter Low’s pentathlon was important in the writing process, binding the translator. The cultural color of the songs should be maintained, the expressions of these influences had to be translated to Dutch using equivalents that did not color the Dutch with a dialect or with street language. Therefore the AAVE language, for example was mainly translated with colloquial and idiomatic language use. It was concluded that… Advisors/Committee Members: Kool, A.F.M..

▼ Using a mixed-method design, my dissertation examines three interrelated puzzles of state violence during counterinsurgency campaigns. First, why does state repressive violence effectively thwart rebellion is some cases while escalating it in others? Using simultaneous equation modeling on 139 cases, I find that collective (or indiscriminate) state violence is associated with a long-lasting backlash effect against the government, while selective (i.e., individual-level) state targeting is expected to deter rebellion effectively. The second puzzle is why are states so seldom selective and so frequently collective in their use of violence? I argue that the scope of state violence is in, in part, a function of the capacities of the state agencies in the security sector tasked with counterinsurgency. State agents with high coercive capacity (e.g., national militaries) tend to lack sufficient local sources to identify and target insurgents at the individual level. Most local security organizations (e.g., police) that would otherwise have access to local intelligence lack the organizational competence to exploit this knowledge and become an efficient counterinsurgency force. The result is to rely on information about collectives (locations, ethnic groups, etc.) and target accordingly, which is associated with an escalation of the threat. This argument is supported by the first two stages of the Punjab crisis in India, where initial police attempts at thwarting rising extremism were incompetent and the armys heavy-handed approach produced a backlash against the government. Selective targeting requires local intelligence capacity and competent organizational capacity. The third puzzle is how do states (or state agents) effectively overcome these obstacles to carry out selective targeting? Using qualitative process tracing supplemented by elite interviews in India, I explain how the Punjab Police built organizational and intelligence capacity over the ensuing years to identify insurgents effectively at the individual level, which is often credited for the eventual defeat of the Khalistan militancy in Punjab, India.

▼ This study examines the role of California ballot measures in the production of racial identity and power in the post-World War II era. In the 1990s, a series of controversial propositions renewed debate over the meaning of race and racism in public life. As the nation looked on, California voters passed ballot initiatives banning public services for undocumented immigrants, repealing public affirmative action programs, outlawing bilingual education, and toughening criminal sentencing laws for juveniles and adults.; Little focus has been placed on the historic soils that nourished these conflicts. Indeed, across the postwar era, California's system of direct democracy has proved to be a reliable bulwark against many leading civil rights and anti-discrimination issues: California voters rejected fair employment protections (1946), repealed fair housing legislation (1964), overturned school desegregation plans (1972, 1979), and adopted "English only" policies (1984, 1986).; The fervent discussions over these measures as they unfolded within the media, at public debates, neighborhood meetings, and through campaign advertisements has made them a central site for Californians to deliberate the meaning of race, rights, and authority. Over time, these debates played a significant role in allowing voters to disavow persistent patterns of racial hierarchy even as they declared their commitment to equal rights and opportunity. Ultimately, this project traces the origins and development of the current "colorblind consensus" on race, which casts racism as a personal sentiment rather than a collective or structural phenomenon, a feeling rather than a relation of power.; This is the first study to link together case studies of racialized California ballot initiatives during the last 50 years within a singular historical narrative. I examine the conflicts and relations of power which gave rise to these initiatives, profile the significant political actors involved, examine the discourse generated by the initiative debates, and explore the impact the measures had on the broader political culture of the state. I analyze polling data, election returns, newspaper accounts and a broad range of archival materials and oral histories related to these events.

▼ After the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson decision, blacks in the South lost most of the rights achieved during Reconstruction and for over half a century lived in a system defined by disfranchisement and segregation. Plessy promised a “separate but equal” society but by 1920 it was evident that separate was fulfilled but equal fell short in facilities. At about the same time, a three-tiered racial hierarchy, rooted in New Orleans long and distinctive racial history returned. New Orleans’ black community was split into two groups, American blacks and Creoles. The two groups rarely interacted. As the black community developed its own economy, independent of white control, however, interactions between elite members of each group began to take place. By 1925, elite members of each group came together to provide the black community in New Orleans with its first racial progressionist leaders. Racial progressionists used a gradual and moderate approach centered on attacking Jim Crow from within. They practiced a restrained, modest and reasonable leadership style in which they carefully and slowly petitioned whites for concessions within the system while not posing a threat to the white power structure. They chose to work primarily through two organizations, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the Federation of Civic Leagues. Through these organizations racial progressionists strove to make separate better in New Orleans’ black community by petitioning for better schools and more recreational facilities. This study thereby examines, what might be considered, the first phase of the civil rights movement, in one southern city, New Orleans. By the mid-thirties, the black community, led by the Louisiana Weekly, began to question the gradual and moderate approach of racial progressionists. The Weekly argued that the community needed new leaders who offered an active, aggressive and inclusive approach to obtaining civil rights. In 1941, a group of young men who called themselves “The Group” took over the leadership role in the New Orleans’ NAACP. They provided the community with the aggressive leadership it needed to continue the attack on the Jim Crow system that racial progressionists had begun in 1925.

▼ This thesis examines the practical implications of the acceptance of "traditional British liberties" in a particular Canadian city and period. The city of Toronto was chosen because it was here that one found the loudest professions of admiration and reverence for "things British." The period, 1929-1935, the early years of the Great Depression, commended itself because the economic chaos and social tension of these years brought to the fore questions as to the meaning and relative value of liberty and authority. Consideration of the problem of liberty and authority from 1929-1935 also enables one to examine the less statistical, less tangible impact of the Great Depression on a segment of Canadian society. An attempt is made to examine the attitudes toward liberty and authority among particular groups in Toronto, and to analyse the basic assumptions and thought patterns that their attitudes appear to express. The thesis makes no attempt to consider specific issues from a purely legalistic or judicial point of view. Certain problems are endemic in an undertaking of this kind. The chief problem is the absence of any precise technique for evaluating objectively the impact of ideas.as motivating forces in history. An attempt is made to calculate the degree of support for particular opinions, such as those presented by the major newspapers, but only in a general fashion. What appear to be of more value and interest to the historian are the underlying assumptions behind the ideas expressed, in so far as they reflect the social, political and economic attutudes of a particular period. Thus, the main emphasis is upon the representative quality of the opinions expressed, rather than upon the discovery of the attitude of every sector of the city. Four specific cases involving the respective limits of liberty and authority are examined – the policy of the Toronto Board of Police Commissioners in prohibiting certain kinds of meetings in the streets, parks and halls of the city, 1929-1933; Section 98 of the Criminal Code, and the conviction in Toronto, under Section 98, of eight Communist leaders in November, 1931; the sedition trial of A. E. Smith, secretary of the Canadian Labor Defence League in March, 1934; and the response to the Regina Riot of July, 1935. The reaction to these controversies was complex and diverse within Toronto. Large and important sectors of the city, of which the Globe, the Telegram, and the Mail and Empire were the chief spokesmen, saw no question of the invasion of "traditional British liberties," but only the need for authority in the face of disorder and instability. The soap-box controversialists of Hyde Park might be acceptable in England, a country with thousands of years of tradition, but not in Canada, a new country in the midst of economic chaos—a new country with "foreign" elements in the midst of its population. For much smaller numbers of Torontonians, of whom the Star, the Canadian Forum and the C. C. F. Party were the chief representatives, the cases examined clearly raised questions…
