My work
has tended to be in human rights, globalisation, and religion in the
development of those two ideas. Right now, IÕm looking at cases of Mexican
nationals on death row in the United States and how Mexico has challenged
procedural due-process (via the Vienna Convention) to a yield what it considers
to be substanitive due process. However, challenges to justice and soviergnty
like these by Mexico also challenge the nature of the state as maintainer or
protector of human rights. Such challenges to the due process and legal system
of one state clearly challenges that stateÕs ability to not only offer its
citizens justice but to clearly protect human rights in the first place.
