	International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights is a United Nations treaty based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, created in 1966 and entered into force on 23 March 1976.
		Because the Universal Declaration of Human Rights contained both first-generation civil and political rights and second-generation economic, social, and cultural rights, it could not garner the international consensus necessary to become a binding treaty.
		Thus while the ICCPR is binding upon the United States as a matter of international law, it does not form part of the domestic law of the nation.

	The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (Right to Return - Human Rights Watch Policy Page)
		The right to return is most clearly enshrined in the 1966 International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR)(1) under its provisions on the right to freedom of movement (Article 12).
		It should be noted that the right to return under Article 12 (4) of the ICCPR is not subject to the same restrictions as paragraphs 1 and 2 of the same Article, which permit restrictions to protect national security, public order, public health or morals, or the rights and freedoms of others.
		The right to return is most clearly enshrined in the 1966 International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) under its provisions on the right to freedom of movement (Article 12).

	1994 International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		During the most intense period of civil and political rights advancement during the past three decades, the federal courts were largely at the forefront.
		On the contrary, the basic requirement for a republican form of government, the general functions of the three branches of the federal government, and most of the fundamental civil and political rights enjoyed by individuals, are all enshrined in the Constitution and thus remain in effect at all times, even during crisis situations.
		Thus, in the case of human rights treaties, a "non- self-executing" treaty does not, in and of itself, accord individuals a right to seek enforcement of its protections in a domestic court, even though the United States continues to be bound to recognize those protections.
