Confronting the Challenges of Ethical Accountability in International Human Rights Lawyering

handle is hein.journals/stanit50 and id is 375 raw text is: CONFRONTING THE CHALLENGES OF ETHICAL ACCOUNTABILITY IN INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS LAWYERING NELL MOLEY International human rights lawyering often entails great ethical responsibilities to the people with whom advocates work. Despite this, there are very few binding ethical regulations in this area to guide practitioners, and little scholarly discussion of the issue. This Note draws from a review of scholarship in multiple disciplines, existing regulations in relevant fields, and original interview materials to provide a thorough examination of the applicable standards of professional conduct that govern human rights lawyers working abroad. Part One identifies the central problem of the potential ethical challenges facing human rights lawyers. Part Two provides an in-depth review of the existing regime that constrains international human rights lawyers, including a survey of various human rights organizations' internal regulations. Part Three identifies the gaps in this regime and in the current scholarship that addresses it. Part Four examines the framework governing international medical ethics as a rough model for a regime in international human rights law. Finally, Part Five offers a solution to the problem of ethical accountability, in the form of six basic principles for human rights lawyers and a proposed framework for implementation. 359 50 STAN.
