Appearance
The "Charlie Brown Rain Cloud Effect" is a legal term originally coined by Robert A. Caplen, a Washington, D.C.-based attorney and legal scholar, in 2007 to describe extrajudicial bias affecting the State of Israel's exercise of its sovereign rights under international law. The term is derived from the image of protagonist Charlie Brown, part of Charles M. Schulz's Peanuts comic strip, who goes through life with an omnipresent rain cloud over his head. Mr. Caplen's article exploring this phenomenon appears in volume 36 of the Capital University Law Review.[1]
