International Law And Economic Sanctions Imposed By The United Nations Security Council, Marco A. Velásquez-Ruiz Dec 2012

International Law And Economic Sanctions Imposed By The United Nations Security Council, Marco A. Velásquez-Ruiz

Marco A. Velásquez-Ruiz

Nowadays and concretely after the end of Cold War, it is quite visible that the activity of the Security Council is showing a variation to the traditional conception of the international system, as the increase of actions starting from the invocation of Chapter VII of the Charter of the United nations was accompanied by new controversial outcomes. This paper intends to describe several legal issues related to the imposition of economic sanctions by the Security Council, in order to show that even if it appears that such organ of the United Nations has a wide margin of appreciation when maintaining …

Legal Routes To Undue Influence: Vulnerabilities In The Korean National Human Rights Commission Act, Douglas Maclean Nov 2012

Legal Routes To Undue Influence: Vulnerabilities In The Korean National Human Rights Commission Act, Douglas Maclean

Douglas MacLean

The National Human Rights Commission of Korea has operated in the midst of considerable political and governmental opposition since its creation. Heralded early on as the strongest national human rights institute in Asia, the government bureaucracy and conservative political forces have challenged the organization's operation from the very beginning. The inauguration of the Lee administration brought opposition forces into power, bringing drastic cuts and drawing both domestic and international criticism over alleged political interference with the organization's operation. Missing from the political accounts of the situation, however, is an examination of the structural vulnerabilities to government influence built into the …

Antitrust Regulation Within The European Economic Community, Richard M. Buxbaum Sep 2012

Antitrust Regulation Within The European Economic Community, Richard M. Buxbaum

Richard M. Buxbaum

The article presents information on the antitrust regulation within the European Economic Community. The antitrust provisions of the Rome Treaty are quite straightforward. The escape clause in article 85(3), reflecting French insistence on "reasonable" competition, will unquestionably prove to be the keystone to any eventual Community antitrust law. It is so general that its interpretation is unpredictable. An otherwise null and void practice may be approved if it promotes economic progress while reserving to the consumer an equitable share of the resulting advantages, and neither is an unnecessary restriction nor eliminates competition in a substantial part of the relevant market. …

Going Medieval: Targeted Killing, Self-Defense, And The Jus Ad Bellum Regime, Craig Martin Jun 2012

Going Medieval: Targeted Killing, Self-Defense, And The Jus Ad Bellum Regime, Craig Martin

Craig Martin

The U.S. targeted killing policy employs drone-launched missiles to kill suspected terrorists and insurgents in countries in which the U.S. is not clearly involved in an armed conflict. It has justified the program on two bases: that the U.S. is in an armed conflict with Al Qaeda and associated organizations; and that the U.S. can engage in the strikes as an exercise of self-defence. These strikes constitute a use of force against the states in which the targets are located, in jus ad bellum terms, and the claim to the right of self-defence is similarly reliance upon a jus ad …
