Religious Law And Women's Human Rights: Reflections Upon The African Human Rights System, Julia L. Ernst
Religious Law And Women's Human Rights: Reflections Upon The African Human Rights System, Julia L. Ernst
UC Law SF International Law Review
In many countries, governments have permitted the application of religious laws and have delegated judicial authority to religious courts. These practices may violate women's human rights for at least four reasons. First, women are barred from leadership positions within many religious institutions, and are therefore prevented from helping interpret the religious precepts and develop the law that is being applied by the religious courts. This exclusion of women violates their right to participate in governance, democracy, and decision-making, which are essential components of law-making. Second, women are excluded from serving as judges on religious courts, thereby calling into question the …

The Burden Of Proof In International Commercial Arbitration: Are We Allowed To Adjust The Scales, Francisco Blavi, Gonzalo Vial
The Burden Of Proof In International Commercial Arbitration: Are We Allowed To Adjust The Scales, Francisco Blavi, Gonzalo Vial
UC Law SF International Law Review
This work discusses the possibility of the parties to change the burden of proof rules in international commercial arbitration and the powers of the arbitral tribunal in this regard, concluding that the parties are entitled to alter the referred rules subject to some limitations, such as the principle of fair and equal treatment, mandatory rules and considerations of public policy and good faith. In addition, we observed that even though arbitrators have broad powers to determine the burden of proof, they are generally obliged to respect the agreements reached by the parties in relation with that burden.

A Comparative Perspective: Recognition Of The Continuous Injury Trigger In Insurance Law In The United States And The United Kingdom, Emalie Diaz Sundale
A Comparative Perspective: Recognition Of The Continuous Injury Trigger In Insurance Law In The United States And The United Kingdom, Emalie Diaz Sundale
UC Law SF International Law Review
The standard Commercial General Liability coverage form obligates an insurer to indemnify the insured for bodily injury and property damages caused by an "occurrence" during the policy period. The form defines "occurrence" as "an accident, including continuous or repeated exposure to substantially the same harmful condition." When an injury occurs over a period of time, questions arise in pinning down a precise moment when such a continuous injury begins. The question of whether the resulting injury is covered under a given insurance policy, or, whether the insurance policy has been "triggered," vexes courts in the United States and the United …
Victims, Violence, And Voice: Transitional Justice, Oral History, And Dealing With The Past, Anna Bryson
Victims, Violence, And Voice: Transitional Justice, Oral History, And Dealing With The Past, Anna Bryson
UC Law SF International Law Review
Transitional justice is concerned with the legal and social processes established to deal with the legacy of violence in post-authoritarian and post-conflict contexts. The interview-in different guises, contexts and settings-is at the heart of most transitional justice processes. Prosecutorial mechanisms, truth recovery commissions, assessments for reparations, applications for amnestyall of these and more are fueled by the art of one human being interviewing another and then presenting or "re-presenting" the material recorded, to make it "fit" with the broader transitional goals of a particular institution. Most transitional justice institutions are, in the final analysis, "creatures of law." They are typically …

"One Order Of Genocide And Two Sides Of Extinction": Proposing An International Solution To Preventing The Destruction Of The Elephant And Rhinoceros Species In Mozambique And Tanzania, Sean Pan
UC Law SF International Law Review
This Note posits the notion that the massacre of the elephant and rhinoceros species in Mozambique and Tanzania resembles the type of monstrous conduct the international community generally brands as the crime of genocide. While it is folly to ignore genocide's historical application towards human victims, both the relentless manner in which these animals are killed along with their drastically diminished populations begs, at least, for international criminal charges and convictions. Additionally, modern legal precedent and historical practices suggest a broader application of the crime of genocide-one that should include other protected and threatened groups.
More Behavioral Vs. More Economic Approach: Explaining The Behavioral Divide Between The United States And The European Union, Philipp Hacker
More Behavioral Vs. More Economic Approach: Explaining The Behavioral Divide Between The United States And The European Union, Philipp Hacker
UC Law SF International Law Review
While U.S. courts and regulatory agencies have set sail towards what may be dubbed a "more behavioral approach," their European counterparts still navigate the charted waters of a neoclassical "more economic approach," as first advocated in E.U. competition law. This paper claims that this "behavioral divide" can be explained by a theory of social norms and expectations.
