Davis: Constitutional Indifference: How U.S. Courts Violate the Rights of America’s Children

Jeffrey Davis (Univ. of Maryland, Baltimore County - Political Science) has published Constitutional Indifference: How U.S. Courts Violate the Rights of America’s Children (Palgrave Macmillan). Here's the abstract:

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.

Daniele: Indiscriminate and Disproportionate Attacks in International Law: Bridging the Accountability Gap

Luigi Daniele (Univ. of Molise - Law) has published Indiscriminate and Disproportionate Attacks in International Law: Bridging the Accountability Gap (Hart Publishing 2026). Here's the abstract:

This book unveils gaps, inconsistencies, and barriers to accountability emerging from the intersections between IHL and ICL in the definition and treatment of indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks as jus in bello violations.

The book identifies and explains the unresolved legal problems surrounding the prevention and control of indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks as international war crimes, and critically unpacks the macroscopic implications of these problems for international adjudications. It goes on to address the challenges posed by these attacks as key causes of civilian victimization in war.

The author demonstrates that the Rome Statute of the ICC must be either re-interpreted or amended in order to prosecute and punish the most recurring forms of indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks. Not doing so would mean impairing the ability of this institution to pursue the most important objectives declared by its founding treaty. The book concludes by offering interpretative solutions and two amendment proposals for the Rome Statute to bridge the gaps and overcome the antinomies identified.
