Seeking Human Rights Justice in Latin America
Truth, Extra-Territorial Courts, and the Process of Justice
AvJeffrey Davis
Inbunden, Engelska, 2013

Skickas inom 11-20 vardagar
This book studies how victims of human rights violations in Latin America, their families, and their advocates work to overcome entrenched impunity and seek legal justice. Their struggles show that legal justice is a multifaceted process, the overarching purpose of which is to restore human dignity and prevent further violence. Uncovering, revealing, and proving the truth are essential elements of legal justice, and are also powerful tools to activate the process. When faced with stubborn impunity at home, victims, families, and advocates can carry on their work for legal justice by bringing cases in courts in other countries or in the inter-American human rights system. These extra-territorial courts can jump-start the process of legal justice at home. Seeking Human Rights Justice in Latin America examines the political and legal struggle through the lens of the human story at the heart of these cases.
Justice Across Borders
The Struggle for Human Rights in U.S. Courts

Skickas inom 11-20 vardagar
This book studies the struggle to enforce international human rights law in federal courts. In 1980, a federal appeals court ruled that a Paraguayan family could sue a Paraguayan official under the Alien Tort Statute - a dormant provision of the 1789 Judiciary Act - for torture committed in Paraguay. Since then, courts have been wrestling with this step toward a universal approach to human rights law. Davis examines attempts by human rights groups to use the law to enforce human rights norms. He explains the separation of powers issues arising when victims sue the United States or when the United States intervenes to urge dismissal of a claim and analyses the controversies arising from attempts to hold foreign nations, foreign officials, and corporations liable under international human rights law. While Davis's analysis is driven by social science methods, its foundation is the dramatic human story from which these cases arise.

Inside tips on how to craft pitches that seal the deal—no matter what industry you work in—and banish presentation anxiety forever
From impromptu elevator pitches to full-board presentations, sales and marketing professionals face an “audience” daily―often with make-or-break consequences. As the person delivering the performance, you need to know you have a great script and are able to maintain composure throughout.
To help you perfect both pitch and performance, there are no better coaches than clinical psychologist Peter Desberg and writer/producer Jeffrey Davis. With experience and insights from both the film industry and the corporate world, they understand the pitch process.
In Pitch Like Hollywood, they show you how to up your game substantially —no matter what business you’re in—by incorporating elements of a classic Hollywood pitch: driving emotion, piquing curiosity, and ultimately winning over decision makers with powerful persuasion and performance. They take you on an insider’s tour of the entire process, from defining the fundamentals to designing effective presentation strategies to overcoming stage fright.
With chapters that include Persuasion Boot Camp, The Pitch Panic Cycle, and Creating the Pitch II (The Sequel), Pitch Like Hollywood provides a front-row seat in a master class on giving great performances for any audience, every time—at board meetings, sales calls, and whenever else you want to make a case to get the results you want.

The Shadow of Evil: Where is God in a Violent World is a "e;must read"e; for every person who is struggling to cope with adversity and loss: Do you battle everyday with the realization that a senseless tragedy has altered the course of your life? Do you feel overwhelmed by hardship and yet powerless to overcome your circumstances? Have you ever felt abandoned by friends and family who cannot seem to understand what you are going through? Has your faith in God suffered from the nagging doubt that even He has somehow forsaken you in your time of need?If you can answer "e;yes"e; to any of these questions, then you must read this book- the author has written it with you in mind!The Shadow of Evil chronicles the events surrounding the murder of the author's mother in 1991 by Wichita's BTK serial murderer. Jeff describes his own painful emotional and spiritual struggles in a brutally honest manner which takes the reader with him through his long journey of emotional recovery, from deepest despair to eventual hope. By sharing his experiences in such a candid manner, readers are able to relate their own sense of loss, emptiness, isolation, or anger, to the author's ordeals, allowing the reader to connect with his message on a cognitive, emotional and spiritual level. Those reading this work can come to understand that their own turbulent mix of emotions and questions of faith are normal, even to be expected. It is the author's hope that once readers have accompanied him on this journey to recovery, they too, will find a renewed sense of meaning in their lives and a brighter hope for the future.

Constitutional Indifference
How U.S. Courts Violate the Rights of America’s Children
AvJeffrey Davis
Inbunden, Engelska, 2026
448 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book shows how U.S. courts have failed to protect the human rights of America’s children. The Supreme Court has constructed a constitutional identity rooted in American exceptionalism and libertarianism. It has used this identity to disregard human rights law, claiming it is foreign to uniquely American constitutional values and that the very nature of the Constitution is restrictive. Children in the United States suffer as a result. Compared to other democracies, the United States has the highest or nearly the highest rates of under-five mortality, child poverty, juvenile incarceration, and child deaths by homicide. Through interviews with advocates, case studies, and a comparative analysis of other democracies, the book shows how the Court has marginalized the rights of children and it contrasts this to the human rights-centered approach taken by other national and regional courts. Chapter by chapter it demonstrates how U.S. courts consistently fail to protect children’s rights to life and safety, their rights in the criminal justice system, and their rights to an education, health, and housing. Human rights are completely consistent with the U.S. Constitution, and the book sets out a plan to incorporate human rights into U.S. law.
