License To Kill? Corporate Liability Under The Alien Tort Claims Act?, Kevin Golden
In the Balance
Because Kiobel removed corporate defendants from the scope of civil liability under the ATS, and because a corporation is not a person who can be charged, convicted and imprisoned for a crime, it effectively placed large multinational corporations above the law. Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum Co., 621 F.3d 111, 145 (2d Cir. 2010). In Part II of this article, I will provide a necessary overview of the history of the ATS and its evolution into modern-day relevance. I will discuss the state of ATS law as it pertains to corporations in Part III. Lastly, I will discuss the Kiobel …

Piracy Off The Coast Of Somalia: The Argument For Pirate Prosecutions In The National Courts Of Kenya, The Seychelles, And Mauritius, Milena Sterio
Law Faculty Articles and Essays
This article will argue that, in order to combat the rise of Somali piracy, major maritime nations should rely on national prosecutions of Somali pirates in the courts of stable regional partners, such as Kenya, the Seychelles and Mauritius. A systematic transfer program and prosecutions in the national courts of several regional partners would preclude the possibility of pirate catch-and-release, and could ultimately provide enough deterrence to seriously dissuade young Somali men from engaging in piracy. The Somali pirates, enemies of all mankind, may find potent foes in the form of Kenyan, Seychellois and Mauritian prosecutors, who will subject pirates …
A Tale Of Two States: Territoriality And Minority Rights In Kosovo And Georgia, Milena Sterio
A Tale Of Two States: Territoriality And Minority Rights In Kosovo And Georgia, Milena Sterio
Law Faculty Articles and Essays
This article argues that territoriality and minority rights can work in tandem, because most secessionist claims by minority groups involve claims to territory. Thus, territoriality and minority rights are both about land, and the relevant inquiry should be whether to alter the status quo, at the expense of a mother State's territory and in order to accommodate minority rights. This paper seeks to answer this difficult question in the context of recent secessionist struggles in Kosovo and in Georgia. Part 2 discusses the principle of territorial integrity under international law, before turning to a discussion of minority rights, and in …
Katyn Forest Massacre: Of Genocide, State Lies, And Secrecy, Milena Sterio
Katyn Forest Massacre: Of Genocide, State Lies, And Secrecy, Milena Sterio
Law Faculty Articles and Essays
The Soviet secret police murdered thousands of Poles near the Katyn Forest, just outside the Russian city of Smolensk, in the early spring of 1940. The Soviets targeted members of the Polish intelligentsia-military officers, doctors, engineers, police officers, and teachers-which Stalin, the Soviet leader, sought to eradicate preventively. At the start of World War II, the Soviet Union viewed Poland as attractive territory, to be conquered and potentially annexed after the war. The Katyn massacre was not discovered until 1943, by the Germans, who instantly blamed the Soviets. The latter, however, blamed the Germans, and the Western Allies begrudgingly accepted …
