Liberals Vs Romantics: Challenges Of An Emerging Corporate International Criminal Law, Carsten Stahn
Liberals Vs Romantics: Challenges Of An Emerging Corporate International Criminal Law, Carsten Stahn
Case Western Reserve Journal of International Law
Holding bystanders and corporate agents accountable for international crimes is often at the periphery of international criminal justice. Based on its liberal foundations, international criminal law has traditionally been strongly centered on individual agency. In the industrialist cases after World War II, individual criminal responsibility was used to demonstrate and sanction corporate involvement in crime. Ideas of corporate criminal responsibility have been voiced in the post-war era and in the context of the negotiations of the Statute. In recent years, they have witnessed a renaissance in several contexts: the jurisprudence of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, the Malabo Protocol of …

A Human Rights Perspective On Professional Responsibility In Global Corporate Practice, David Nersessian
Case Western Reserve Journal of International Law
The direct applicability of human rights law to the attorney-client relationship has serious implications for ethical corporate governance. In addition to creating criminal and civil risks for lawyer and client alike, the specter of human rights violations in business dealings gives rise to myriad ethical questions for corporate lawyers to consider and resolve. These include matters such as the legitimate object and scope of corporate representation, conflicts of interest, duties to withdraw, and matters of competence and communication in corporate governance. They also raise questions of professional secrecy and whether ethical codes permit (or even require) lawyers to reveal confidential …

If It Looks Like A Duck: Reining In Private-Military Contractor Conduct Through The Amended Ucmj, Michael Anderson
If It Looks Like A Duck: Reining In Private-Military Contractor Conduct Through The Amended Ucmj, Michael Anderson
Case Western Reserve Journal of International Law
Although women's rights in many countries reflect Sharia Law, the interpretation of Sharia Law is not uniform across these countries. As a result, not all countries that follow Sharia Law protect women's rights to the same degree. We can hypothesize that the interpretation of Sharia Law in various countries, and therefore the protection of women's rights, is determined by the historical forces that have shaped that country's cultural life. To test this hypothesis, this Note traces the history of three countries in order to explore what led each country to develop vastly different beliefs surrounding the rights of women under …

"Living Together" Or Living Apart From Religious Freedoms? The European Court Of Human Right's Concept Of "Living Together" And Its Impact On Religious Freedom, Shelby Wade
Case Western Reserve Journal of International Law
In the 2014 monumental court decision S.A.S. v. France, the European Court of Human Rights ruled that the French law banning both burqas and niqabs in public spaces was justified. The Court based this justification on the concept of "living together," stating this newly-created concept allowed limitations on certain rights, such as the freedom of religion. With this decision, the Court vacated precedent which used a balancing test to weigh exceptions, such as national security in very narrow situations, against the limitations on individual freedoms. The new "living together" test is extremely farfetched, vague, and controversial. This Note discusses the …
