The Eyes Of The World: Charges, Challenges, And Guantánamo Military Commissions After Hamdan Ii, Christina M. Frohock

University of Miami National Security & Armed Conflict Law Review

Guantánamo military commissions are under a spotlight, scrutinized by the judiciary and the public. Just the word “Guantánamo” can trigger impassioned reactions from both advocates and detractors. This article takes a measured view, examining a recent opinion from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, Hamdan v. United States (“Hamdan II”), that speaks to the legitimacy of military commissions convened in Guantánamo to try the September 11th defendants and others. While several media commentators seized on the opinion as striking a blow to Guantánamo proceedings, in fact the opinion approves military commissions and offers a roadmap for prosecutors. …

Non-State Armed Groups And Technology: The Humanitarian Tragedy At Our Doorstep?, Colonel Dave Wallace, Major Shane Reeves

University of Miami National Security & Armed Conflict Law Review

Technological advances are altering the contemporary asymmetric conflicts between non-­‐state armed groups and state actors. This article discusses the humanitarian consequences of these changing conflicts by first illustrating the dangers posed by non-­‐state armed groups gaining access to advanced technologies. A subsequent examination of the increasing ability of non-­‐state armed groups to use new technologies, such as cyber operations, to mitigate state actor advantages and the resultant risks to civilian populations follows. The article concludes that the humanitarian challenges presented by this growing intimacy between non-­‐state armed groups and technology, whether through a potentially devastating attack or by the dramatic …

The Application Of The Administrative Procedure Act To Private-­‐Public Sector Partnerships In Homeland Security, Michael James Weiss

University of Miami National Security & Armed Conflict Law Review

Increasingly, the U.S. federal government is turning to the use of private-­public sector partnerships (“PPP”), especially in the area of homeland security. Although these partnerships have numerous benefits, there are several problems that arise in their practice, particularly when they are used in homeland security.

This note will outline and detail these problems, including deputization, excessive congressional oversight, and management and accountability. In addition, this note will present solutions to resolving the issue of centralization. In other words, this note will advocate for a single agency that implements, manages, and creates rules for all PPPs within the Department of Homeland …

Separate But Equal Accountability: The Case Of Omar Khadr, Grantland Lyons

University of Miami National Security & Armed Conflict Law Review

This Note addresses the question of whether to hold child combatants or their commanders accountable for war crimes, and if so, how and to what extent. The author ultimately concludes that child combatants and their commanders should be held equally accountable for their actions, but by measures that appropriately balance individual and public interests in rehabilitation, reintegration, and deterrence.

The Note focuses on Omar Khadr, a former child combatant, while using other cases as a reference point for current international legal norms. The author analyzes Khadr’s combatant status review, subsequent legal proceedings, detention, and sentence in light of various legal …

Law As Shield, Law As Sword: The Icc’S Lubanga Decision, Child Soldiers And The Perverse Mutualism Of Participation, Chris Jenks

University of Miami National Security & Armed Conflict Law Review

The International Criminal Court’s Lubanga decision has been hailed as a landmark ruling heralding an end to impunity for those who recruit and employ children in armed conflict and a pivotal victory for the protection of children. Overlooked amidst this self-­‐congratulation is that the ICC incorrectly applied the law governing civilian participation in hostilities which perversely places child soldiers at greater risk of being attacked. The Court created a false distinction between active and direct participation in hostilities. Expanding the kinds and types of behaviors that constitute children actively participating in hostilities expanded Lubanga¹s liability. But under the law of …

Does The Individual Mandate Coerce?, Raphael Boleslavsky, Sergio J. Campos

University of Miami Law Review

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act includes an individual mandate that penalizes individuals who do not purchase health insurance. Critics of the individual mandate, including a majority of justices on the Supreme Court, contend that Congress cannot use its Commerce Clause power to coerce individuals to buy a product. Supporters concede that the mandate coerces but argue that it is otherwise permissible under the Commerce Clause. This article questions whether the individual mandate coerces. It uses a simple economic model to show that, under certain conditions, the individual mandate induces insurers to sell health insurance at a price each …

Supermarkets In India: Struggles Over The Organization Of Agricultural Markets And Food Supply Chains, Amy J. Cohen

University of Miami Law Review

This article analyzes the conflicts and distributional effects of efforts to restructure food supply chains in India. Specifically, it examines how large retail corporations are presently attempting to transform how fresh produce is produced and distributed in the "new" India-and efforts by policymakers, farmers, and traders to resist these changes. It explores these conflicts in West Bengal, a state that has been especially hostile to supermarket chains. Via an ethnographic study of small producers, traders, corporate leaders, and policymakers in the state, the article illustrates what food systems, and the legal and extralegal rules that govern them, reveal about the …
