US Supreme Court Strikes Another Blow to Human Rights Activism:

Holder v Humanitarian Law Project

This week's Radio Intifada explores the repercussions of the recent  Supreme Court ruling again the Humantarian Law Project, exploring  how this ruling and US foreign policy hampers the work of  organizations that advocate peace, dialogue and human rights - and  goes against the principles of the US Constitution and freedom of  speech. Regardless of its intent, the court decision has profound ramifications for any  charitable, economic, social, or political  entity that has contacts  with foreign groups  designated as  “terrorist” by the US State Department. What does the future hold  in terms of new challenges to the law and what can be done to seek  modification of the law?

Guests:
Ralph D. Fertig, JD, ACSW; U.S. Administrative Judge (Ret.),  Clinical Professor, University of Southern California School of  Social Work
David Cole, Professor of law at Georgetown University

Produced and hosted by Nyma Ardalan, SWANA Collective
