When “One Country, Two Systems” Meets “One Person, One Vote”: The Law Of Treaties In The Crucible Of Hong Kong’S Election Crisis, Gregory S. Gordon
When “One Country, Two Systems” Meets “One Person, One Vote”: The Law Of Treaties In The Crucible Of Hong Kong’S Election Crisis, Gregory S. Gordon
Gregory S. Gordon
In Hong Kong’s recent election crisis, an uprising against China’s pre-selecting candidates for Chief Executive and thus foreclosing civic-nomination, both sides (establishment and pro-democracy) have attempted to interpret the term “universal suffrage” based exclusively on its inclusion in Hong Kong’s mini-constitution, the Basic Law. In so doing, however, they have given short shrift to the agreement that gave rise to the Basic Law in the first place: the 1984 Sino-British Joint Declaration.

Matthew Hoisington
This article addresses the instrumentalization of international humanitarian law (IHL) and the Islamic jus in bello for the purposes of targeting. It begins with an examination of the radical innovations in the Islamic jus in bello that resulted in its instrumentalization by al Qaeda and other Islamic armed groups in the name of jihad. It then addresses the key legal arguments of the U.S.-led response, particularly in the post-9/11 period. Finally, it offers a critical appraisal of the use of targeting rules to justify killing by both sides. The conclusion summarizes the argument and comments on the dangers of legal …
