Opinion 2/13 On Eu Accession To The Echr And Judicial Dialogue: Autonomy Or Autarky, Piet Eeckhout
Fordham International Law Journal
This Essay joins the chorus of criticism, but also aims to deepen some of the analysis, as well as focusing it on wider questions of judicial dialogue and autonomy. Where relevant for the purpose of its critique, the Essay also refers to the View of Advocate General Kokott, which is generally much more positive in tone—even if it also finds fault with some of the provisions of the Accession Agreement.

Fordham International Law Journal
This Article is organized into five parts. Part I situates Canada’s climate change experience. In Part II, Canada’s regulatory response to climate change and its gaps are positioned within a troubling ongoing federal retreat from the environmental arena that seems to favor resource extraction and export. Parts III to V discuss the possibility for increased human rights-based climate litigation in the Canadian context—even in light of past failures—and consider an emerging public law approach. The Article concludes by commenting on the prospect of the climate change problem playing out in Canadian courts.

Eu Fundamental Rights And Member State Action After Lisbon: Putting The Ecj's Case Law In Its Context, Bernhard Schima
Fordham International Law Journal
Early in 2013, the Court of Justice of the European Union (“ECJ”) handed down two judgments on the same day which might contain the blueprint for the fundamental rights architecture of the European Union (“EU”) for years to come. Much has already been written about those judgments, and it appears appropriate at this time to evaluate their impact in light of their reception and subsequent developments of the case law. To that effect, this contribution will provide some elements of background before briefly presenting the two cases, commenting on their legal solidity, and recalling how they have been received. It …
