Arizona and Sonora to formulate a seven-point plan of cooperative action in response to the law. The seven points included supporting the array of lawsuits that have been filed to stop the law, and presenting a complaint against the measure with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights." According to the Arizona State Senate Democratic Caucus blog, "[t]he outcome of the meeting was to draft a concurrent resolution signed by each attendee that will be sent to the United Nations and the Organization of American States – Inter-American Commission on Human Rights." Via David Kopel at The Volokh Conspiracy, who writes: "[U]nless the Senate ratified the American Convention on Human Rights and the US government accepted the jurisdiction of the Inter-American Court, neither the Court nor the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights can issue a legally binding decision against the Arizona laws against illegal aliens. Either the Commission or the Court could issue non-binding advisory opinions as to whether the Arizona laws violate international law." ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/05/27/mexican-arizonan-senators-plan-to-bring-az-illegal-immigration-law-before-inter-american-commission-on-human-rights/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2009/09/22/150-mexican-women-fight-personhood-laws-before-iachr/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2009/09/22/150-mexican-women-fight-personhood-laws-before-iachr/#comments Tue, 22 Sep 2009 19:53:29 +0000 Admin http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=36720 ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2009/09/22/150-mexican-women-fight-personhood-laws-before-iachr/feed/ 0
