Supreme Court Justice Brennan, in writing the minority dissent on the DeShaStaney case, spoke well to the gravity of the injustice that would be perpetrated by the decision. "My disagreement with the Court," Justice Brennan wrote, "arises from its failure to see that inaction can be every bit as abusive of power as action, that oppression can result when a State undertakes a vital duty and then ignores it."

Declaration on the Elimination of Violence Against Women
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump to: navigation, search
The Declaration on the Elimination of Violence Against Women
Created 1993
Ratified 20 December 1993
Purpose Women's rights
The Declaration on the Elimination of Violence Against Women was adopted without vote[1] by the United Nations General Assembly in its resolution 48/104 of 20 December 1993. Contained within it is the recognition of "the urgent need for the universal application to women of the rights and principles with regard to equality, security, liberty, integrity and dignity of all human beings".[2] The resolution is often seen as complementary to, and a strengthening of, the work of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women.[3] It recalls and embodies the same rights and principles as those enshrined in such instruments as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Articles 1 and 2 provide the most widely used definition of violence against women.[4] As a consequence of the resolution, in 1999, the General Assembly, led by the representative from the Dominican Republic, designated 25 November as the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.

[edit] Background
The international recognition that women have a right to a life free from violence is a recent one. Historically, their struggles with violence, and with the impunity that often protects the perpetrators, is linked with their fight to overcome discrimination. Since its founding the United Nations has concerned itself with the advancement of women's rights,[5] but did not specifically target the high rates of female targeted violence until 1993. One of the aims of the resolution was to overturn the prevailing governmental stance that violence against women was a private, domestic matter not requiring state intervention. To mark International Women's Day on 8 March 1993, General Secretary, Boutros Boutros-Ghali, issued a statement in preparation of the declaration explicitly outlining the UN's role in the 'promotion' and 'protection' of women's rights:
"The struggle for women's rights, and the task of creating a new United Nations, able to promote peace and the values which nurture and sustain it, are one and the same. Today - more than ever - the cause of women is the cause of all humanity."[6]
[edit] Definition of Violence Against Women
Articles 1 and 2 of the resolution provide the most widely used definition of violence against women.
Article One: For the purposes of this Declaration, the term "violence against women" means any act of gender-based violence that results in, or is likely to result in, physical, sexual or psychological harm or suffering to women, including threats of such acts, coercion or arbitrary deprivation of liberty, whether occurring in public or in private life.
Article Two: Violence against women shall be understood to encompass, but not be limited to, the following:
(a) Physical, sexual and psychological violence occurring in the family, including battering, sexual abuse of female children in the household, dowry-related violence, marital rape, female genital mutilation and other traditional practices harmful to women, non-spousal violence and violence related to exploitation;
(b) Physical, sexual and psychological violence occurring within the general community, including rape, sexual abuse, sexual harassment and intimidation at work, in educational institutions and elsewhere, trafficking in women and forced prostitution;
(c) Physical, sexual and psychological violence perpetrated or condoned by the State, wherever it occurs.[2]
[edit] Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women
As a consequence of the declaration on 4 March 1994, the Commission on Human Rights adopted Resolution 1994/45[7] in which it decided to appoint Radhika Coo

This is because “[t]he ‘official policy’ requirement was intended to distinguish acts of the municipality from acts of employees of the municipality, and thereby make clear that municipal liability is limited to action for which the municipality is actually responsible.” /229/

The property is taken either for government use or by delegation to third parties who will devote it to public or civic use or, in some cases, economic development. The most common uses of property taken by eminent domain are for public utilities, highways, and railroads[citation needed], however it may also be taken for reasons of public safety, such as in the case of Centralia, Pennsylvania. Some jurisdictions require that the government body offer to purchase the property before resorting to the use of eminent domain

"Extraordinary Rendition" redirects here. For the 2007 film, see Extraordinary Rendition (film).
Extraordinary rendition and irregular rendition are terms used to describe the apprehension and extrajudicial transfer of a person from one state to another.[1] "Torture by proxy" is used by some critics to describe situations in which the United States has transferred suspected terrorists to countries known to practice torture.[2][3][4]
It is alleged that the CIA runs a secret global abduction and internment operation of suspected terrorists, known as “extraordinary rendition”, which since 2001 has captured about 3,000 people and transported them around the world. It has been alleged that torture has been employed with the knowledge or acquiescence of the Governments of the United States and the United Kingdom. Condoleezza Rice, then United States Secretary of State, said in an April 2006 radio interview that the United States does not transfer people to places where it is known they will be tortured.[1][5][6]
The US program prompted several official investigations in Europe into alleged secret detentions and unlawful inter-state transfers involving Council of Europe member states. June 2006 report from the Council of Europe estimated 100 people had been kidnapped by the United States' Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) on EU territory (with the cooperation of Council of Europe members), and rendered to other countries, often after having transited through secret detention centers ("black sites") used by the CIA, some sited in Europe. According to the separate European Parliament report of February 2007, the CIA has conducted 1,245 flights, many of them to destinations where suspects could face torture, in violation of article 3 of the United Nations Convention Against Torture.[7] A large majority of the European Union Parliament endorsed the report's conclusion that many member states tolerated illegal actions of the CIA and criticized several European governments and intelligence agencies for their unwillingness to cooperate with the investigation. Within days of his inauguration, President Obama signed an Executive Order opposing rendition torture and establishing a task force to provide recommendations about processes to prevent rendition torture.[8]

Shaheen V. Knight
Facts
D made a contract with P for sterilization via vasectomy
D could not afford another child
D got his wife pregnant, and she had the child
Issue
Did the physician breach the contract regarding sterilization via vasectomy?
Are damages to be awarded by the plaintiff?
P’s arguments
D contracted to make him sterile
No expenses would have been incurred if duty had been fulfilled
Could not afford another child.
D’s arguments
Sterilizing a man to prevent healthy childbirth is against public policy (and public morals).
Vasectomy went smoothly, just didn’t make the man sterile.
Patient has suffered no damage.
Relationship and duty does not arise from the contract.
Patient now has a new child.
No “Warranty of Cure” in Pennsylvania.
Believes there is no lawsuit.
Court
It can be the court’s decision as to whether the act is void of public policy
Must obviously be for or against the public health, safety, morals or welfare…
There is no virtual unanimity regarding sterilization
Damages via contract are restricted in some jurisdictions
Since Shaheen Did want the child, and the physician would not only be paying for rearing and education, but Shaheen’s joy in raising the child, the court ruled that public policy would not allow it.
What’s being decided?
Complaint sets forth the facts as the plaintiff alleges them.
Cause of action: Contractual breech
K (contract) to sterilize is void against public policy
No implied warranty of cure in Pennsylvania
No negligence alleged
Complaint is grounded in deceit and not on assumpsit (A legal action for breach of contract)
Obligation not dual but relational
No damages here
We will return to public policy when we get to damages.

Dr. Knight’s Defenses
K (contract) to sterilize is void against public policy
No implied warranty of cure in Pennsylvania
No negligence alleged
Complaint is grounded in deceit and not on assumpsit (A legal action for breach of contract)
Obligation not dual but relational
No damages here
We will return to public policy when we get to damages.
There is a definite contract between the doctor and patient, and the court will now decide if it’s enforceable.
Mamlin- There must be a well defined public sentiment, and the court may constitute itself in declaring that policy.
Treating children as economic costs is somehow in conflict with the idea of the family unit.
What to take away: How to read an opinion closely and critically.

The judge said that voluntary sterilization was not a grounds for divorce, and then said that the sole purpose of marriage is to procreate.
