New Book Announcement

[Francisco Forrest Martin]

Please forgive the following shameless plug and any cross-postings.
 
For those interested in the U.S. law governing the use of international human rights law in U.S. courts, I have just published Challenging Human Rights Violations:  Using International Law in U.S. Courts (2001).  The book addresses treaty law, customary international law, and jus cogens challenges to U.S. human rights violations, including:
    a.. anti-sodomy laws and gay/lesbian exclusion from military service 
    b.. different applications of the death penalty 
    c.. prosecutorial discretion for international crimes 
    d.. interception of international communications 
    e.. use of evidence obtained illegally outside the U.S. 
    f.. failure to Mirandize suspects outside the U.S. 
    g.. unqualified statements of suspect's guilt by police and prosecutors 
    h.. governmental failure to prevent murder and batteries committed by private persons 
    i.. use of unnecessary force by police and military
Books can be ordered from Transnational Publishers: <http://www.transnationalpubs.com>.
 
Thank you for your attention.
