Entre La Espada Y La Pared: Obstacles To U.S. Investment In Cuba, Thais Lopez
Entre La Espada Y La Pared: Obstacles To U.S. Investment In Cuba, Thais Lopez
FIU Law Review
Investing in Cuba poses several obstacles to U.S. investors. Cuba’s new Law of Foreign Investment and new Constitution do not provide remedies or protections against the state’s takings of private property or imprisonment without charge. On the U.S. side, Title III of the Helms-Burton Act has made U.S. investors the most vulnerable to claims worth billions in damages under the Act.
On The Why Of Same-Sex Marriage In Cuba, Libby Adler
On The Why Of Same-Sex Marriage In Cuba, Libby Adler
FIU Law Review
Cuba is expected to revise its family code soon and the legal availability of marriage to a person of the same sex will be among the anticipated revisions. This essay pushes past the assumption that same-sex marriage operates as an obvious item along any nation’s progressive path, or a universally desirable and sensible legal advance, and inquires as to the why. In a country that is markedly less religious than its neighbors, has a low marriage rate accompanied by a comparatively high divorce rate, and socializes resources such as health care such that they do not depend on marital ties, …
Present And Future Of Environmental Law In Cuba, Daimar Cánovas González
Present And Future Of Environmental Law In Cuba, Daimar Cánovas González
FIU Law Review
The environmental legal framework in Cuba is based on constitutional article 75 and Law 81, of July 11, 1997, on the environment, a framework law on the matter, with a series of complementary provisions with the rank of Decree Law or Ministerial Resolution. The adoption of the new constitutional text in 2019 is followed by the updating of all environmental legislation that requires a new framework law, which fills the gaps in the current one and leads to more effective environmental management. The paper addresses some of the areas in which significant changes have occurred or should occur. In particular, …
Cuba's Energy Future: Options Based On Renewables And Non-Carbon-Based Sources, Colin Crawford
Cuba's Energy Future: Options Based On Renewables And Non-Carbon-Based Sources, Colin Crawford
FIU Law Review
My intention is to research and write on article on Cuba's energy future. Specifically, I plan to consider the options for a sustainable energy future using renewable energy sources and not carbon-dependent sources. This analysis will require both an examination of the island's historical energy challenges as well as consideration of the options for developing a sustainable energy infrastructure with international governmental (e.g. UN, World Bank etc.) and regional governmental (e.g. EU) support- an analysis that will also require consideration of the island nation's socialist political system and its willingness to engage internationally. The topic is one, clearly, with implications …
Transition-Denial And Structural Adjustment: Causation And Culpability In The Cuban Economy, José Gabilondo
Transition-Denial And Structural Adjustment: Causation And Culpability In The Cuban Economy, José Gabilondo
FIU Law Review
In 2020, Cuba implemented the Tarea Ordenamiento (Tarea), the most significant economic reform since the construction of the socialist economy after the Revolution. Signaling an eclectic brand of Cuban socialism, the Tarea clears away three decades of tried and failed economic doctrines, drawing a new fiscal border around state enterprises, nodding to market realities, and preparing the island for greater insertion into the world economy. While the political economy of post-Castro Cuba has changed in this way, the United States continues to subject the island to an unprecedented program of unilateral sanctions, universally condemned as a breach of human rights, …
