The United States, China, And Freedom Of Navigation In The South China Sea, James W. Houck, Nicole M. Anderson
The United States, China, And Freedom Of Navigation In The South China Sea, James W. Houck, Nicole M. Anderson
James Houck
The need for a uniform understanding of international norms regarding freedom of navigation is increasingly important as more States develop capacity to act in the international maritime realm. Nowhere is the issue of freedom of navigation more contentious, with more potential to spark wider conflict, than in the South China Sea (SCS). Both the United States and China profess an interest in the free navigation of commercial vessels in the region. Beyond commercial shipping, however, the two nations disagree on the important issue of freedom of navigation for military vessels. The United States believes all nations have wide latitude under …
The Command And Control Of United Nations Forces In The Era Of "Peace Enforcement", James W. Houck
The Command And Control Of United Nations Forces In The Era Of "Peace Enforcement", James W. Houck
James Houck
This Article explores how concerns regarding the United Nations' authority to make political, strategic, and operational decisions that comprise the right to command and control UN forces might be reconciled within the framework of the United Nations Charter to create a contemporary and more enduring regime for the command and control of United Nations forces. As Part II demonstrates, command and control issues are not new to the United Nations; indeed, in 1945 the signatories to the United Nations Charter created a model for the command and control of United Nations forces. While the cold war ensured that this model …

The Commander In Chief And United Nations Charter Article 43: A Case Of Irreconcilable Differences?, James W. Houck
James Houck
Part II of this paper provides an overview of the U.N. Charter's framework for collective security, with a particular focus on the Charter's provision for the. creation, command, and control of U.N. military forces. During the Cold War, this framework fell into desuetude, and U.N. forces that participated in enforcement actions, such as Korea and Iraq, as well as peacekeeping operations, were created in ad hoc fashion outside the Charter's framework. Part III examines this development and considers how the conclusion of an Article 43 agreement might alter the President's authority under international law to pursue U.S. interests while participating …

Surprised By Sin: Human Rights And Universality, Tawia Baidoe Ansah
Surprised By Sin: Human Rights And Universality, Tawia Baidoe Ansah
Tawia B. Ansah
International human rights law's claim to universality, at the level of normative formation, has been shaped by conceptions of the self over time. The metaphysical reconfigurations of the self, from the Enlightenment to the present, have marked the human rights narrative in particular ways. This essay will suggest that since World War II, a conception of the self within a narrative of rights has been replaced, or at least countermanded, by a conception of sacral evil, with profound implications for the normative claim to universality of the human rights discourse. The essay begins with a synoptic analysis of the rise …
Genocide And The Eroticization Of Death: Law, Violence, And Moral Purity, Tawia Baidoe Ansah
Genocide And The Eroticization Of Death: Law, Violence, And Moral Purity, Tawia Baidoe Ansah
Tawia B. Ansah
In this article, I ask: What is the relationship between law and morality in response to mass violence and suffering abroad? How does law shape and determine our moral response to mass death and suffering? We repose in the law itself a desire to define the moral and the ethical parameters of legal-political action. Thus, when faced with mass violence and suffering abroad, law functions as a proxy for morality. The legal prohibition under the Genocide Convention defines morality, or cabins the variety of moral responses into a single and universally applicable ethical-legal norm of response to genocide. The moral …
Sovereignty, Identity, And The Apparatus Of Death, Tawia Baidoe Ansah
Sovereignty, Identity, And The Apparatus Of Death, Tawia Baidoe Ansah
Tawia B. Ansah
Ten years after the genocide in Rwanda, the government issued broad new laws outlawing the use of ethnic categories, with a view to uniting all Rwandans under a single Rwandan identity. This self-erasure of ethnic identity is deployed primarily within the borders of the state, to enable reconciliation after the genocide in 1994. Outside the borders, the state deploys ethnic identity as one of the rationales for its cross-border wars (in the Democratic Republic of Congo).
War: Rhetoric And Norm-Creation In Response To Terror, Tawia Baidoe Ansah
War: Rhetoric And Norm-Creation In Response To Terror, Tawia Baidoe Ansah
Tawia B. Ansah
Everything is very simple in war," said Carl von Clausewitz, "but the simplest thing is difficult." This essay will suggest that the resort to the language of war, as "natural" and "starkly simple" as it is, nevertheless has a profound impact on how the law's intervention is shaped, or how the laws governing the transnational use of force are interpreted to accommodate a "war" on terrorism. I argue that although "war" is absent from the principal international legal instruments by which states are guided (and obligated) in their relations with other states, the concepts suppressed by this elision have an …

International Law And Religion In Latin America: The Beagle Channel Dispute, M C. Mirow
M. C. Mirow
In 1978, an Argentine diplomat proposed a method of defusing a territorial dispute that very nearly sparked off a war between Argentina and Chile, It,was an offer calculated to be rejected by Chile, and yet Chile’s immediate response was “Agreed” - a response so unthinkable to Argentina that within hours its military Junta revoked the power of the Foreign Minister and the President to sign the agreement it had just proposed. In December 1978, the countries were quickly moving towards a war that, if waged, would most likely have engulfed much of Latin America. The Vatican, however, intervened and brought …
The Political Economy And Legal Regulation Of Transnational Commercial Surrogate, Cyra Akila Choudhury
The Political Economy And Legal Regulation Of Transnational Commercial Surrogate, Cyra Akila Choudhury
Cyra A. Choudhury
This Article breaks new ground by closely reading the emerging ethnographic accounts of surrogacy to establish that current feminist frames are incomplete. It incorporates the political economy of surrogacy, the economic relationship of surrogacy to the Indian state, and the political economy of surrogates’ families, which have all been missing from the current dialogue. The Article concludes that the benefits of surrogate labor outweigh its disadvantages and develops a new framework — of surrogacy as labor — that will, for the first time, protect the surrogate as worker.Surrogacy, as a fairly open regulatory field, provides feminists with a unique opportunity …
Lawfare: A Rhetorical Analysis, Tawia Ansah
Development, Frank J. Garcia
Development, Frank J. Garcia
Frank J. Garcia
Development is about aspiration—our longing for a better life as individuals and as a community—and respect, as we individually and collectively recognize and support these aspirations. Development requires the freedom to define and choose that better life; a fair share of the resources needed to realize that life; and narratives of where we currently stand with regard to our aspirations and why, where we want to go, and what it will take to get there. This means that development inevitably takes place in and through politics, law, and the social sciences (especially economics), as we work to articulate our claims …

Letting Go Of ‘The Normal’ In Pursuit Of An Ever-Elusive Real: A Proposal For Innovation In International Law And Economics Theory And Scholarship, Dan Danielsen
Dan Danielsen
This essay surveys and critically assesses international law and economics scholarship as it has evolved since the 1990s as a distinct strand of international legal theory. In this work, international law and economics scholars have sought to demonstrate the virtues of certain forms of economic modelling techniques for answering questions of institutional arrangement and jurisdictional authority that have posed challenges central to the discipline of international law such as which institutions should make which rules in the global order and whose rules ought to apply in what circumstances. Without denying the importance of these issues, many significant global issues that …
