Endangered Species Protection: A Proposal To Modify The Legislation In Colombia, Adriana Campuzano
Endangered Species Protection: A Proposal To Modify The Legislation In Colombia, Adriana Campuzano
LLM Theses and Essays
The Convention of International Trade of Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (“CITES”) is praised as a successful international treaty in protecting and preserving endangered species. However, the effectiveness of CITES is reliant upon member States enforcing and implementing CITES provisions. Colombia has enacted laws implementing CITES but has experienced an increase in the number of endangered species despite these laws. On the other hand, the United States’ implementation of CITES through the Endangered Species Act (“ESA”) is viewed as a sophisticated and successful CITES implementation programs. This thesis makes an attempt to offer viable proposals to help improve …

Issues Of Statelessness In International Law; Two Cases: The Baltic States And Israel/Palestine, Margaret E. Keen
Issues Of Statelessness In International Law; Two Cases: The Baltic States And Israel/Palestine, Margaret E. Keen
Student Thesis Honors (1996-2008)
Law pertaining to statelessness in the modern international community has evolved from a non-issue prior to the Twentieth Century, when it first became a notable problem, to recognition that nationality is a fundamental human right. Currently, international law is attempting to assert an obligation on states prohibiting statelessness. In addition, a trend can be identified that may be leading ultimately to recognition of a right of an individual to a nationality based on his or her subjective priorities and self-identification. This paper will begin by reviewing the origin of the problem of statelessness and the history of the development of …

Of Law, Lawlessness, And Sovereignty : Multinational Peacekeeping And International Law, Antje Mays
Dacus Library Faculty Publications
Laws of war have been carefully defined by individual nations’ own codes of law as well as by supranational bodies. Yet the international scene has seen an increasing movement away from traditionally declared war toward multinational peacekeeping missions geared at containing local conflicts when perceived as potential threats to their respective regions’ political stability. While individual nations’ laws governing warfare presuppose national sovereignty, the multinational nature of peacekeeping scenarios can blur the lines of command structures, soldiers’ national loyalties, occupational jurisdiction, and raise profound questions as to which countries’ moral sense/governmental system is to be the one upheld. Historically increasingly …

Watching The Watchdogs: Holding The Un Accountable For International Humanitarian Law Violations Of The ‘Blue Helmets’, Jackson N. Maogoto

The political climate is ripe for the United Nations system to successfully and effectively provide global collective security. Now that relations have improved between the ‘East’ and ‘West’ the United Nations will indeed be able to broaden its role, and perhaps operate to its full capacity - to call into being the ‘New World Order,’ characterised by a Security Council able to respond swiftly and effectively to aggression and massive human rights violations through ‘police action’. However the significant and documented international humanitarian law violations by UN forces in the 1990s has raised the stakes. Thrice in the last decade …

Human Rights And International Mutual Legal Assistance: Resolving The Tension, Robert Currie
Articles, Book Chapters, & Popular Press
If indeed, as has been said, "it is fashionable nowadays to discuss the problems that arise from the application of general human rights to extradition", then it is also true that human rights concerns are increasingly being raised with regard to other forms of international criminal co-operation as well. As compliance with international human rights norms has become the subject of greater scrutiny by both States and international adjudicative bodies, concerns have been raised regarding their application to the various processes by which States aid each other in combating transnational crime. Prosecuting authorities are presented with problems of how the …
