International Law In A Time Of Scarcity: An Introduction, Harlan G. Cohen
International Law In A Time Of Scarcity: An Introduction, Harlan G. Cohen
Scholarly Works
Does international law have the resources to manage, if not solve, this complex global problem of scarcity? Different areas of international law governed by different regimes have their own ways of conceptualizing and managing scarcity. International human rights law may frame the problem as one of individual economic and social rights or as one of the right of indigenous groups. For the most part though, these models from different areas of international law operate in isolation from one another, following their own internal logics.
The problem of scarcity has started to get the attention of international law scholars and experts, …
The Restatement Of The U.S. Law Of International Commercial Arbitration: An Interim Report, George A. Bermann
The Restatement Of The U.S. Law Of International Commercial Arbitration: An Interim Report, George A. Bermann
Faculty Scholarship
Despite its title, the American Law Institute's Restatement (Third) of the U.S. Law of International Arbitration is the ALI's first Restatement ever on the subject of international commercial arbitration. The ALI commissioned this Restatement not merely because the subject has become so important in international commerce, but because the American law on the subject is deeply unsettled. After all, the purpose of Restatements is to bring clarity and coherence and, where necessary, improvement to the law. Historically, Restatements have concentrated on state rather than federal law subjects precisely because of the discrepancies among the laws of the several states on …
Persuasion Treaties, Melissa J. Durkee
Persuasion Treaties, Melissa J. Durkee
Scholarly Works
All treaties formalize promises made by national parties. Yet there is a fundamental difference between two kinds of treaty promise. This difference divides all treaties along a fault line: Treaties that govern the behavior of state parties and their agents fall on one side. Treaties in the second category — those I call “persuasion” treaties — commit state parties to changing the behavior of non-state actors as well. The difference is important because the compliance problems for the two sets of treaties sharply diverge. Persuasion treaties merit our systematic attention because they are both theoretically and practically significant. In areas …
Some Pluralism About Pluralism: A Comment On Hanoch Dagan's "Pluralism And Perfectionism In Private Law", Jedediah S. Purdy
Some Pluralism About Pluralism: A Comment On Hanoch Dagan's "Pluralism And Perfectionism In Private Law", Jedediah S. Purdy
Faculty Scholarship
Hanoch Dagan is among “those who think it advantageous to get as much ethics into the law as they can,” in the phrase of Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. His pluralism is a perfectionism for polytheists: There are many human goods, and each has its domain, including some portion of the law of property. Depending on where we stand on the property landscape at any time, we may be community-minded sharers, devoted romantics in marriage, or coolly rational market actors, and the local property law will smooth each of these paths for us. Property law is built on the design of …
The Long-Term International Law Implications Of Targeted Killings Practices, Christof Heyns, Sarah Knuckey
The Long-Term International Law Implications Of Targeted Killings Practices, Christof Heyns, Sarah Knuckey
Faculty Scholarship
One of the most crucial and enduring questions about “targeted killings” is: How will the currently expanding practices of singling out individuals in advance and eliminating them in other countries without accountability impact the established international legal system?
International law, since at least World War II, has developed various mechanisms to limit killing in general, including targeted killings. These take the form of vigorous protections for the right to life under human rights law; safeguards against the interstate use of force while permitting states to protect themselves where necessary; and aiming to strike a balance between the principles of humanity …
Regulating Resort To Force: Form And Substance Of The Un Charter Regime, Matthew C. Waxman
Regulating Resort To Force: Form And Substance Of The Un Charter Regime, Matthew C. Waxman
Faculty Scholarship
Much of the international legal debate about regulating force and self-defence takes place on a substantive axis, focusing on the scope of force prohibitions and exceptions. This article instead focuses on their doctrinal form, or modes of argumentation and analysis through which facts are assessed in relation to legal directives, to illuminate how many of the assumptions about substantive policy goals and risks tend to be coupled with other assumptions about the way international law operates in this field. It shows that the flexible, adaptable standards favoured by some states, scholars, and other international actors and the fixed rules and …
The Role Of Foreign Authorities In U.S. Asylum Adjudication, Fatma E. Marouf
The Role Of Foreign Authorities In U.S. Asylum Adjudication, Fatma E. Marouf
Faculty Scholarship
U.S. asylum law is based on a domestic statute that incorporates an international treaty, the U.N. Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees. While Supreme Court cases indicate that the rules of treaty interpretation apply to an incorporative statute, courts analyzing the statutory asylum pro- visions fail to give weight to the interpretations of our sister signatories, which is one of the distinctive and uncontroversial principles of treaty interpretation. This Article highlights this significant omission and urges courts to examine the interpretations of other States Parties to the Protocol in asylum cases. Using as an example the current debate over …
New Modes Of Pluralist Global Governance, Gráinne De Burca, Robert O. Keohane, Charles F. Sabel
New Modes Of Pluralist Global Governance, Gráinne De Burca, Robert O. Keohane, Charles F. Sabel
Faculty Scholarship
This paper describes three modes of pluralist global governance. Mode One refers to the creation and proliferation of comprehensive, integrated international regimes on a variety of issues. Mode Two describes the emergence of diverse forms and sites of cross-national decision making by multiple actors, public and private as well as local, regional and global, forming governance networks and “regime complexes,” including the orchestration of new forms of authority by international actors and organizations. Mode Three, which is the main focus of the paper, describes the gradual institutionalization of practices involving continual updating and revision, open participation, an agreed understanding of …
Agora: The South China Sea – Editors' Introduction, Lori Fisler Damrosch, Bernard H. Oxman
Agora: The South China Sea – Editors' Introduction, Lori Fisler Damrosch, Bernard H. Oxman
Faculty Scholarship
The disagreements among states bordering the South China Sea pose extraordinarily complex legal issues. Sovereignty over small islands that lie at some distance from the continental and insular coasts that surround the sea is contested. So are the maritime entitlements generated by these features. Notably, rocks that cannot sustain human habitation or economic life of their own generate no entitlement to an exclusive economic zone (EEZ) and continental shelf beyond a twelve-mile territorial sea, which may be the case for many of the disputed islands. Yet another series of questions relates to the delimitation of overlapping maritime entitlements, including the …

Book Review Of The Impossible State By Wael Hallaq, Lama Abu-Odeh
Book Review Of The Impossible State By Wael Hallaq, Lama Abu-Odeh
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
In his book The Impossible State, Wael Hallaq argues that the modern state is a bad fit for Muslims. This is so because the paradigm of “Islamic Governance”, developed through centuries of Islamic rule, and the modern state of the West are incompatibles if not altogether contradictory. The modern state, a European invention and an expression of the unique unfolding of Europe’s history, being premised on the deep penetration by the nation state of its population, a separation of powers between the executive, legislative and the judiciary that is always faltering, a separation between …
