"Holes in the Rights Framework" Examines Citizenship and Human Rights
In an article published in the Fall 2006 issue of the Carnegie Council�s
Ethics & International Affairs, Open Society Justice Initiative
Executive Director James A. Goldston looks at the "importance of
citizenship in making effective the promise of fundamental human rights
protection." Noting that approximately 175 million people worldwide are
not citizens of the countries in which they live, Goldston examines
arbitrary denial of citizenship and discrimination against noncitizens,
and the role that international human rights law can play in improving
their situation. To read the complete article, go to:
