Weapons Of Mass Destruction & Public International Law, Michael Donlan
Weapons Of Mass Destruction & Public International Law, Michael Donlan
New England Journal of Public Policy
The proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) into the hands of rogue dictators and terrorists has brought a sea change in strategic international relations, and is accelerating the necessity of public international law to protect humanity. Traditional balances of power have little force left to deter WMD. Major powers must seriously revamp and proactively exploit public international law, and, to that end, bolster multilateral institutions to marshal an action plan to leash this unacceptable risk. Leadership is needed on three levels: 1) promote a new mission for public international law to address WMD; 2) muster a broad-based coalition of …

Spaceship Sheriffs And Cosmonaut Cops, Lee Seshagiri
Dalhousie Law Journal
This paper examines some of the current legal regimes applicable to criminal law in outer space and offers insights into options for future legal developments in the cosmos. It begins by setting out the context for law enforcement in outer space, emphasizing the commercial nature of future space exploration and the need for laws and law enforcement in that environment. Next, various methods for assigning legal jurisdiction in space are examined, and the underlying justifications for the exercise of such jurisdiction are considered. The paper goes on to explore preventative approaches to space crime, highlighting the usefulness of such approaches …

Tax Discrimination In The Nafta Bloc: The Impact Of Tax And Trade Agreements On The Cross-Border Trade In Services, Catherine Brown
Tax Discrimination In The Nafta Bloc: The Impact Of Tax And Trade Agreements On The Cross-Border Trade In Services, Catherine Brown
Dalhousie Law Journal
This paper considers the impact of international agreements in disciplining tax discrimination affecting cross-bordertrade in services. It addresses three questions. First, how do tax and trade agreements interact in the discipline of tax measures affecting cross-border service providers? Second, does this interaction result in tax discrimination against foreign service providers in the NAFTA bloc? Third, if so, what remedies, if any, are available to cross-border service providers with respect to tax measures that are discnminatory? The paper concludes with illustrative examples that service providers in the NAFTA bloc, depending on the applicable treaty are subject to differing tax treatments, are …

Historical And Social Perspectives On The Regulation Of The International Trade In Archaeological Objects: The Examples Of Greece And India, Neil Brodie
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
Two empirical studies of the trade in cultural material have shown that strong export controls work. Between 1820 and 1870, pre-unification Italian states with strong export controls in place retained more of their cultural heritage (measured in terms of paintings and antique books) than states with weak or no controls. Thefts from cultural institutions in the Czech Republic rose sharply after 1989, the year the "Iron Curtain" was raised; though this example also highlights the curtailment of civil liberties that might be necessary for strong export controls to work and that are probably unacceptable in a liberal society.

The Bearded Bandit, The Outlaw Cop, And The Naked Emperor: Towards A North-South (De)Construction Of The Texts And Contexts Of International Law's (Dis)Engagement With Terrorism, Ikechi Mgbeoji
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
For over one hundred years, the definition of the term "terrorism" has been subjected to political propaganda. In addition, dubious self-righteous indignation or outrage, often expressed by various states or prominent politicians at the occurrence of acts of terror have often masked the participation of those same states in international terrorism. In this endless cycle of finger pointing, accusations, denials, and counter-accusations, the problematic of what constitutes terror in legal parlance has degenerated into an exercise in name-calling. This sad spectacle frustrates objective and sincere attempts at fashioning out legal and policy framework to deal with the scourge of terrorism. …
Assessing Claims Of A New Doctrine Of Pre-Emptive War Under The Doctrine Of Sources, James Thuo Gathii
Assessing Claims Of A New Doctrine Of Pre-Emptive War Under The Doctrine Of Sources, James Thuo Gathii
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
After examining state practice and opinio juris on the preemptive use of force in the last few years, I conclude that the prohibition of preemptive war where there is no armed attack or an instant, overwhelming threat has not changed. Under customary international law, this prohibition of preemptive use of force is a customary international law norm of extremely high normativity and as such state practice inconsistent confirms the norm particularly in the absence of evidence of its widespread and representative repudiation. Second, under the doctrine of sources, state practice inconsistent with a norm of customary international law or persistent …
Tailoring Globalization To Reduce Global Poverty And Inequality: A Case Study Of The U.S.-Cambodian Bilateral Textile Agreement, Jimmy Howell
International Journal of Legal Information
There is a great need for incorporating labor rights provisions into bilateral, multilateral, and regional trade agreements. However, it was only towards the end of the last century that governments experimented with different types of legal systems to address labor issues. As the debate on this matter moves forward, more attention must focus on the most effective and appropriate legal architectures for labor rights protection in the trade context. The USCBTA was the purest example of a regulatory model that governments have used to link trade and labor protection. The weaknesses in a purely regulatory model indicate that a different …
The World Court’S Ruling Regarding Israel’S West Bank Barrier And The Primacy Of International Law: An Insider’S Perspective, Pieter H. F. Bekker
The World Court’S Ruling Regarding Israel’S West Bank Barrier And The Primacy Of International Law: An Insider’S Perspective, Pieter H. F. Bekker
Cornell International Law Journal
A former UN official & staff lawyer for the International Court of Justice (ICJ) reflects on that courts ruling on Israels construction of a wall in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. It is emphasized that the Court's primary focus was upholding international law. The case was not about Israels right to build a protective structure on its own territory but about the course of the West Bank barrier that extends past the Green Line designated in the 1949 Armistice Agreement. Key pronouncements of the landmark opinion are examined, including condemnation of the settlements that Israel had established in Palestinian territories; the …

Subjects Of International Law: A Power-Based Analysis, Guido Acquaviva
Subjects Of International Law: A Power-Based Analysis, Guido Acquaviva
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
In this Article, the Author challenges the definition of the term "state" that is commonly accepted in legal scholarship as the basis for assessing whether an entity is a subject of international law. By analyzing a number of cases that do not fit into the "traditional" model--including the Holy See, Napoleon, and the Confederacy--the Author reaches the conclusion that the only essential element of a subject of international law is its sovereignty. An entity is sovereign when it is able effectively to assert that it is not subordinate to another authority: territory and population are therefore not essential attributes of …

Member State Compliance With The Judgments Of The Inter-American Court Of Human Rights, Morse Tan
Member State Compliance With The Judgments Of The Inter-American Court Of Human Rights, Morse Tan
International Journal of Legal Information
This essay fills a gap by exploring compliance theory in international law to the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. After introducing the topic and setting the context, it delves into the question of why nations follow international law. Interacting with prominent theoretical models (including the managerial model, fairness and legitimacy, transnational legal process, self-interest, and a comparative perspective with Europe), it arrives at a critical synthesis in the conclusion.
The Alien Tort Claims Act: Temporary Stopgap Measure Or Permanent Remedy, Borchien Lai
The Alien Tort Claims Act: Temporary Stopgap Measure Or Permanent Remedy, Borchien Lai
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
As the world has become smaller through technological advances in travel and communication, the international marketplace has grown larger. The United Nations ("U.N.") estimates that the number of multinational corporations tripled between 1988 and 1997 to 60,000. As these corporations increase their investments abroad, they also face proportionately increasing pressure from investors to run successful operations and increase profits. The result of this dynamic is well-documented. Multinational corporations invest heavily in underdeveloped countries where natural resources are abundant and labor is cheap. To facilitate operations in the country, the corporations must establish a rapport with the host governments-and often, in …
Bilateral Investment Treaties And The Possibility Of A Multilateral Framework On Investment At The Wto: Are Poor Economies Caught In Between, Victor Mosoti
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
The increased Foreign Direct Investment ("FDI") flows in the past few years have strengthened the belief among many developing countries, especially African countries, that such FDI flows could help in reducing the resource, technology and foreign exchange gaps that constrain their economic development. As a result, many developing countries have beendiligently working to attract foreign investment, for which these countries give some of the highest returns; in the process, these countries make concessions that they would have found unthinkable in the past, when autarchic economic policies were prevalent. For example, due to the liberalization of capital accounts, a foreign investor …

Immunity For Artworks On Loan? A Review Of International Customary Law And Municipal Anti-Seizure Statutes In Light Of The "Liechtenstein" Litigation, Matthias Weller
Immunity For Artworks On Loan? A Review Of International Customary Law And Municipal Anti-Seizure Statutes In Light Of The "Liechtenstein" Litigation, Matthias Weller
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
Are we witnessing the emergence of a legal principle of immunity for artworks on loan from abroad? This Article analyzes to what extent such a principle exists or is about to come into being and what its legal potential might be. To this end, Part II examines one of the leading cases about artworks on loan, the Liechtenstein case, and compares it to other controversies about loaned artworks to identify possible signs of a development in court practice towards a principle of immunity for artworks on loan. Against the background of the legal weaknesses of a yet inchoate concept of …

International Legal Dimensions Of Art And Cultural Property, Jeffrey A. Schoenblum
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
The market for art and cultural property is international.' Demand is intense and not particularly local in terms of consumer preference. Supply responds to this intense international demand. Like most anything else, art finds its way to whomever is prepared to pay for it. Regulation affects how it arrives at its ultimate destination, but generally does not prevent it from getting there...
The symposium's contributors have sought to address the complex legal and policy issues raised by an explosive global market in art and cultural property. These articles will prove invaluable in the shaping of the international legal response to …

The International Law Of Environmental Warfare: Active And Passive Damage During Armed Conflict, Eric T. Jensen
The International Law Of Environmental Warfare: Active And Passive Damage During Armed Conflict, Eric T. Jensen
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
One of the constant elements of warfare is its degrading effects on the environment. Many writers blame this destruction of the environment on inadequate standards in the international law of environmental warfare. To remedy this shortfall, the international law of environmental warfare should be categorized as either passive or active environmental warfare. Active environmental warfare requires the intentional "use" of the environment as a weapon of waging armed conflict. Passive environmental warfare includes acts not specifically designed to "use" the environment for a particular military purpose but that have a degrading effect on the environment. Passive environmental warfare violates international …
