Bridging The Gap Between International Investment Law And Human Rights, Amin R. Yacoub
Bridging The Gap Between International Investment Law And Human Rights, Amin R. Yacoub
Hofstra Law Review
The misapplication of vague international investment standards such as the Full Protection and Security has worsened the legitimacy crisis facing the Investor-State-Dispute-Settlement field.

Freedom From Food: On The Need To Restore Fdr's Vision Of Economic Rights In America, And How It Can Be Done, Evgeny Krasnov
Hofstra Law Review
Within the U.S. policy discourse, it has long been taken for granted that the body of human rights law does not — and should not — include economic rights, which include the right to adequate food, shelter, and health care.

Human Rights Within The World Legal Order: A Reply To Sohn And Mcdougal, Eric Lane
Hofstra Law Review
Professor Sohn is the quintessential charterist. He views the world legal order, at least as it pertains to human rights, as being a centralized structure with the United Nations Charter as its base. "The Charter is the cornerstone of international jus cogens, and its provisions prevail over all other international and domestic legislative acts." According to Sohn, the Charter creates a variety of human rights norms and authorizes their implementation and enforcement through various United Nations organs: "These provisions express clearly the obligations of all members and the powers of the organization in the field of human rights.
