The Future Of Universal Jurisdiction In The New Architecture Of Transnational Justice, Diane Orentlicher Oct 2012

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. She argues that recent developments raise concerns about how jurisdictional authority should be allocated among states as well as between officials of states and officers of international tribunals. 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 …

O Cidadão E O Estadista, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha Oct 2012

O Cidadão E O Estadista, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha

Paulo Ferreira da Cunha

Fala-se muito em crise, naturalmente em mudanças políticas, e até em regeneração dos partidos. Cremos que esta é fundamental. Ou tal ocorre, ou virá, mais dia menos dia, após esta ou aquela convulsão, a ditadura e o partido único, sob qualquer bandeira, normalmente populista. Muitos estão já a atiçar o lume antipartidário e antidemocrático, como ocorreu noutros tempos. E apontando já os bodes expiatórios a sacrificar, enquanto os verdadeiros responsáveis passam ao largo... Por outro lado, não é Estadista quem quer. São precisas virtudes e qualidades. Não uma competência mitificada e abstrata. Mas projeto político e capacidade, experiência, etc.

Of Civil Wrongs And Rights: Kiyemba V. Obama And The Meaning Of Freedom, Separation Of Powers, And The Rule Of Law Ten Years After 9/11, Katherine L. Vaughns, Heather L. Williams Oct 2012

Of Civil Wrongs And Rights: Kiyemba V. Obama And The Meaning Of Freedom, Separation Of Powers, And The Rule Of Law Ten Years After 9/11, Katherine L. Vaughns, Heather L. Williams

Katherine L. Vaughns

This article is about the rise and fall of continued adherence to the rule of law, proper application of the separation of powers doctrine, and the meaning of freedom for a group of seventeen Uighurs—a Turkic Muslim ethnic minority whose members reside in the Xinjiang province of China—who had been held at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base since 2002. Most scholars regard the trilogy of Hamdi v. Rumsfeld, Hamdan v. Rumsfeld, and Boumediene v. Bush as demonstrating the Supreme Court’s willingness to uphold the rule of law during the war on terror. The recent experience of the Uighurs suggest that …

Ecos Do Ipiranga. Autonomia, Cidadania E Justiça No Brasil, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha Sep 2012

Ecos Do Ipiranga. Autonomia, Cidadania E Justiça No Brasil, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha

Paulo Ferreira da Cunha

O grito do Ipiranga é um belo mito de independência. O Brasil é cultural e juridicamente uma realidade que está a construir uma interessantíssima identidade nacional, colhendo dos outros o que interessa, mas sobretudo afirmando-se com autonomia. E já pode exportar produtos jurídicos próprios, como, pela sua visibilidade, a publicidade televisiva das sessões do Supremo Tribunal Federal.

Occupy Wall Street And International Human Rights, Martha F. Davis Sep 2012

Occupy Wall Street And International Human Rights, Martha F. Davis

Martha F. Davis

This article employs a human rights lens to examine the extreme economic inequality targeted by Occupy Wall Street (OWS). First, I look at the fundamental question of whether such economic inequality constitutes a human rights violation. To analyze that question, I begin by examining the extent to which poverty has been deemed to raise international human rights concerns, finding that international human rights institutions have generally addressed poverty by focusing on the ways in which poverty frustrates the exercise of substantive and procedural human rights. I then use a similar lens to examine the issue of economic inequality, concluding that …


Bilateral Readmission Agreements And Refugee Rights: From A Critique To A Proposal, Mariagiulia Giuffré Sep 2012

Bilateral Readmission Agreements And Refugee Rights: From A Critique To A Proposal, Mariagiulia Giuffré

Mariagiulia Giuffré

Against the backdrop of the bilateral cooperation on migration control between EU Member States and third countries, this paper examines whether the implementation of readmission agreements (key tools in this context) hampers access to international protection for asylum seekers subjected to a return procedure. Given that competence in the ‘Area of Freedom, Security, and Justice’ remains shared, the EU and Member States continue to pursue their readmission procedures in parallel. This paper focuses on the bilateral arrangements of individual Member States with third countries, which constitute the bulk of the instruments in this field. It concludes that no issue of …


Book Review: Environmental Protection And Human Rights, Carmen G. Gonzalez Aug 2012

Book Review: Environmental Protection And Human Rights, Carmen G. Gonzalez

Carmen G. Gonzalez

This article reviews Environmental Protection and Human Rights (Cambridge University Press, New York 2011), a textbook co-authored authored by Donald K. Anton and Dinah L. Shelton. The book examines the growing recognition by scholars, activists, governments, and international and domestic tribunals of the linkages between environmental protection and human rights. Although intended for use as a law school textbook and accompanied by five online problem-oriented case studies, this comprehensive volume will also serve as a valuable reference for scholars and practitioners as well as an excellent survey for newcomers to the field.
