Donald W. Jackson,
Herman Brown
Professor, is
interested in civil
rights policy as
well as comparative
and transnational
human rights
enforcement. His book,
The United Kingdom
Confronts the
European Convention
on Human Rights,
is unusual in the sense that most American scholars have neglected the European Court of Human Rights, which has become extremely important in European law and politics. He has been asked to write the entry on the European Convention and Court of Human Rights for a forthcoming international human rights encyclopedia. His other books
include: (co-edited
with Jim
Riddlesperger)
Presidential
Leadership and Civil
Rights Policy;
Even the Children
of Strangers:
Equality Under the
U.S. Constitution;
and (co-edited with
C. Neal Tate)
Comparative Judicial
Review and Public
Policy. He
recently served as Associate Editor
of the Thomson/Gale
Encyclopedia,
Governments of the
World, published in 2006. He was responsible for international human rights and humanitarian law entries, as well as Caribbean and Latin American countries.

the "United Nations
Diplomatic
Conference on the
Creation of an
International

Rome in July, 1998,
attended the Hague
Appeal for Peace in
May, 1999, at which
time the campaign for
ratification of the
International
Criminal Court was
launched, and was an
invited participant
at conferences on
"Impunity versus
Accountability"
under international
law held at Utrecht
in November 2001, on

research on
universal

the legitimacy of
international and
transnational human
rights enforcement
was presented at a
conference in Parma,
Italy in June 2003, at an interim meeting of the Research Committee on Comparative Judicial Studies in Tempe, Arizona and at the Japan World Congress. He also presented a
