The Role Of Justice In The Former Yugoslavia: Antidote Or Placebo For Coercive Appeasement?, Paul Williams, Patricia Taft Jan 2003

The Role Of Justice In The Former Yugoslavia: Antidote Or Placebo For Coercive Appeasement?, Paul Williams, Patricia Taft

Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals

Throughout the 1990's, the approach of the European Union and the United States to the conflicts in the former Yugoslavia was one of coercive appeasement. By most professional and historical accounts, this approach was a failed one, with the consequences that over 250,000 civilians were killed, thousands raped and millions displaced. Throughout the conflict, the institutions of justice created by the international community frequently served as a mere placebo rather than an antidote to the dominant approach of coercive appeasement. Frequently key policymakers actively sought to constrain the role of justice during the peace building process. At times during the …


Earned Sovereignty: The Political Dimension, James Hooper, Paul Williams Jan 2003

Earned Sovereignty: The Political Dimension, James Hooper, Paul Williams

Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals

There are currently over fifty sovereignty-based conflicts throughout the world, and nearly a third of the Specially Designated Global Terrorists listed by the United States Treasury Department are associated with sovereignty-based conflicts and self-determination movements. To date, the "sovereignty first" international response to these conflicts has been unable to stem the tide of violence, and in many instances may have contributed to further outbreaks of violence. This article will argue that the "sovereignty first" doctrine is slowly being supplemented by a new conflict resolution approach which we dub "earned sovereignty."

The Functions Of Justice And Anti-Justice In The Peace-Building Process, Paul Williams, Michael Scharff Jan 2003

The Functions Of Justice And Anti-Justice In The Peace-Building Process, Paul Williams, Michael Scharff

Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals

Recently, there has been increasing use of the tool of justice/accountability in the peace-building process. Yet, the norms of justice, while increasingly invoked, is seldom defined in the context of peace-building. To understand the role that justice has played and has the potential of playing in the peace-building process, it is important first to define the norm as well as articulate its functions. This article therefore serves as an introduction to The Case Western Reserve Journal of International Law’s “Role of Justice in Building Peace” Symposium Issue by providing a detailed definitional description of the justice norm. In addition, it …

Democrativ Principles And Separatist Claims: A Response And Further Inquiry, Diane Orentlicher Jan 2003

Democrativ Principles And Separatist Claims: A Response And Further Inquiry, Diane Orentlicher

Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals

Donald Horowitz has grounds for concern about legal innovations that may provide fresh inspiration to separatist movements. It is baffling, however, that he attributes proseparatist views to me. I will try here to clarify the principal sources of misunderstanding and hope, along the way, to deepen our consideration of issues that are well worth further exploration.


International Responses To Separatist Claims: Are Democratic Principles Relevant?, Diane Orentlicher Jan 2003

International Responses To Separatist Claims: Are Democratic Principles Relevant?, Diane Orentlicher

Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals

Although a perennial feature of global politics, separatist movements had scant prospect of success for nearly half a century after World War II. And so the recent proliferation of new states has shattered settled expectations. In the 1990s, Yugoslavia fractured into five states, the Soviet Union split into fifteen, Eritrea separated from Ethiopia, Czechoslovakia divided into the Czech Republic and Slovakia, and East Timor won independence from Indonesia. The success of breakaway movements from Slovenia to Eritrea has given new impetus to a raft of other separatists across the globe. And small wonder: the surge in state making in the …
