U.S.-Latin American Free Trade Agreements And Access To Medicine, Dominique Lochridge-Gonzales
U.S.-Latin American Free Trade Agreements And Access To Medicine, Dominique Lochridge-Gonzales
Dominique Lochridge-Gonzales
U.S.-Latin American Free Trade Agreements and Access to Medicine analyzes the effects of FTA provisions on access to medicine. Access to medicine lies at the heart of the crossroads between the international human right to health and international intellectual property law delineated in TRIPS. True availability of essential medicines to millions of people depends on a balance between the formations of these medicines in the first place (through rewarding innovation) and promulgating rules that allow for practicable access to those medicines. FTAs provide a method for implementing the right to health by fostering practicable access to essential medicines in the …
Dignity Rights: Courts, Constitutions, And The Worth Of The Human Person, Erin Daly
Dignity Rights: Courts, Constitutions, And The Worth Of The Human Person, Erin Daly
Erin Daly
The right to dignity is now recognized in most of the world's constitutions, and hardly a new constitution is adopted without it. Over the last sixty years, courts in Latin America, Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and North America have developed a robust jurisprudence of dignity on subjects as diverse as health care, imprisonment, privacy, education, culture, the environment, sexuality, and death. As the range and growing number of cases about dignity attest, it is invoked and recognized by courts far more frequently than other constitutional guarantees. Dignity Rights is the first book to explore the constitutional law of …

The Future Of Universal Jurisdiction In The New Architecture Of Transnational Justice, Diane Orentlicher
Diane Orentlicher
In this essay the author addresses several issues raised by emerging trends in the use of universal jurisdiction.

Growing recourse to universal jurisdiction raises questions about whose claim should receive priority when more than one court seeks to prosecute an individual for the same crime. The question has been further complicated by the emergence of a new breed of court, such as the Special Court for Sierra Leone, which is shaped by …

Differing Conceptions Of Development And The Content Of International Development Law, Daniel D. Bradlow
Differing Conceptions Of Development And The Content Of International Development Law, Daniel D. Bradlow
Daniel D. Bradlow
International development law is the branch of international law that deals with the rights and duties of states and other actors in the development process. Its original content was premised on a particular generally accepted understanding of development. Under the pressure of the problems of development that arose during the 1970s and 1980s, this general agreement on the key issues in development disintegrated. As a consequence, the consensus on the content of international development law also began to break down. Today, there are competing idealized views of development that shape the current debate about both development, and the content of …
