  Bring Pinochet to Justice! - [Cached Version]

  Lawyer Alejandro Teitelbaum, the representative of the American Association of Jurists before the United Nations in Geneva, said several international pacts, such as the Convention Against Torture, oblige signatory states to try the alleged perpetrators of severe human rights abuses or extradite them.Teitelbaum said Britain, as a signatory to that Convention, must either try Pinochet or put him under Spanish jurisdiction as demanded by Garzón.
  ...
  "The United Nations can do nothing about the case for the time being", Teitelbaum said, pointing out that the leading role must be played by international conventions and treaties on human rights and crimes against humanity.
  
  But specialised UN bodies such as the Committee Against Torture or the Human Rights Committee could eventually monitor the extent to which the two countries complied with their international obligations." The UN could make an evaluation in the future, but not right now", he added.
  
  UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan said Monday in Orlando, Florida that the Pinochet case demonstrated that international humanitarian law is gaining momentum, and that there are fewer and fewer hiding-places for suspects.
  
  Teitelbaum said that what was occurring was "useful", because "the fight against impunity consists above all of keeping the memory alive".The punishment of the individual perpetrators nearly fades into the background, he added, stressing that the important thing is for examples to be set.

  NOVEMBER 2005 (IPS) - In its final declaration the recent United Nations Summit approved the replacement of the Human Rights Commission with a Council on Human Rights, writes Alejandro Teitelbaum, a lawyer, expert in international relations and the Permanent Representative of the American Association of Jurists to the UN in Geneva.

  Human Rights End Where Military Prisons Begin - [Cached Version]

  Another international legal expert, Alejandro Teitelbaum, a representative in Geneva of the American Association of Jurists (AAJ), stressed that the Human Rights Committee has already ruled in the past that "it would not make sense to permit a state to perpetrate violations of the Covenant in the territory of another state that could not be perpetrated in its own territory."
  
  This position was declared by the Committee with regard to the cases of Uruguayan citizens abducted in the 1970s by members of the Uruguayan military in Argentine and Brazilian territory.
  
  These violations were committed outside of Uruguayan jurisdiction, but the state denounced by the victims was Uruguay, Teitelbaum noted.
  
  According to Abreu Guzmán, "There is ample authority at the universal and regional level that human rights treaties apply wherever a state exercises jurisdiction, and that this determination is based on the test as to whether a state exercises effective - not necessarily sovereign - control over a territory."
  
  "Human rights treaties can therefore also apply extraterritorially, he stressed.
  
  The United States' interpretation creates a situation that is both absurd and highly advantageous for the U.S. government, Teitelbaum told IPS.For example, the Panamanian civilians bombed during the U.S. invasion in 1989 cannot bring Washington before the U.N. Human Rights Committee "because they were neither in nor reside in U.S. territory," he observed.

  SEPTEMBER 2005 (IPS) - While Germany, France, and Britain are trying to dissuade Iran from going ahead with its programme of nuclear fuel production, the United States does not believe there can be a negotiated solution, and Bush has stated publicly that the military option is on the table, writes Alejandro Teitelbaum, lawyer and expert in international relations.
  
  In this analysis, Teitelbaum writes that there is no juridical basis whatsoever for demanding that Iran not proceed with completion of its nuclear fuel cycle, including enriching uranium, which Brazil does without drawing objections from the IAEA.
