One may agree or disagree with the ethics or politics behind a particular law, but one should know what the law is instead of merely stating one's uninformed opinion or desire as fact. The ARCHIVES at <http://www.anti-fascism.org> have been upgraded and a new "Legal" section added to deal with these issues. The contents are as follows: The U.S. Constitutional Basis For the Legal Documents Documents Concerning the Illegality of Fascism Under U.S. and International Law 1) International Covenant On Civil and Political Rights U.N.T.S. No. 14668, vol 999 (1976), p. 171. 2) International Convention On the Elimination Of All Forms Of Racial Discrimination BH490.txt (60 UNTS 195) 3) [International] Convention On the Prevention and Punishment Of the Crime Of Genocide U.N.T.S.
