The Law Of The Environment: A Symbolic Step Of Modest Value, David D. Caron
The Law Of The Environment: A Symbolic Step Of Modest Value, David D. Caron
David D. Caron
The original 1965 Restatement of Foreign Relations Law contains two reporters notes on the environment. By contrast, the Third Restatement devotes all of Part VI to this increasingly important area of the law and foreign relations. Unfortunately, the resulting product constitutes only a modest step toward presenting the foreign relations law of the United States pertaining to the environment. Part VI takes a narrow view of the law of the environment, limiting itself to. transfrontier pollution and, even then, relegates most of the discussion of conventional law to reporters' notes. This brief review assesses the structure and substance of Part …

Confronting Complexity, Valuing Elegance, David D. Caron
Confronting Complexity, Valuing Elegance, David D. Caron
David D. Caron
These opening remarks to 106th Annual Meeting for the American Society of International Law, first, explore what it means for something to be a complexity and, second, suggest how we as scholars and advisors should pursue something that does not come naturally to lawyers, namely that we should pursue elegance in the face of complexity.
Framing The Work Of Icsid Annulment Committees, David D. Caron
Framing The Work Of Icsid Annulment Committees, David D. Caron
David D. Caron
This article summarizes what we know of the performance of the annulment mechanism and examines the current critiques of that mechanism. Specifically, it identifies three criticisms of recent annulment decisions and reflects on why committee members might leave their work open to such criticisms. The article then proceeds to offer five principles intended to frame how annulment committees might approach their work.

Images Of The Arctic And The Futures They Suggest, David D. Caron
Images Of The Arctic And The Futures They Suggest, David D. Caron
David D. Caron
Given as a lecture at the Library of Congress, my main theme is that the many discussions of the Arctic that we hear can be approached, perhaps understood, in terms of three images. Likely more than most of you, I have listened to numerous speeches regarding the Arctic and its future. In my experience, the speakers can be like ships passing in the dark – they come from different directions, they go different places, and they are concerned with themselves and somewhat unaware of the others. Some are optimistic about the opportunities that change brings; some fear such change. Needless …
The Independence And Impartiality Of Legal Systems, David D. Caron
The Independence And Impartiality Of Legal Systems, David D. Caron
David D. Caron
As lawyers, we often focus on the independence and impartiality of a judge or of an arbitrator. At least as important, however, is whether the system itself is independent or impartial. This is particularly true given that the task of building robust rule of law around the world is an initiative near the top of many foreign policy lists and that a central component of robust rule of law is the existence of a system of independent and impartial courts and tribunals. But what does it mean to require independence and impartiality at the level of the system rather than …
9/11 And The Tail Of Historic Events, The American Society Of International Law, David D. Caron
9/11 And The Tail Of Historic Events, The American Society Of International Law, David D. Caron
David D. Caron
The continuing influence (the “tail”) of historic events such as 9/11 has numerous dimensions. In international law, the event and the responses to the event can mark a shift in customary law, for example. Such events also influence who we are as a community and what we focus upon.

The Claims Of Two Gulfs, David D. Caron
The Claims Of Two Gulfs, David D. Caron
David D. Caron
Kenneth Feinberg, the "claims czar" for the BP catastrophe in the Gulf, reportedly looks to how to adapt his experience with the claims process he devised following the 9/11 attacks. Another mass claims process provides a more apt analogy, however: the very successful mass claims process following the 1991 Persian Gulf War oil well blowouts, fires and oil spills unleashed by then-president Saddam Hussein. In the wake of that disaster, then the largest oil spill in history, a claims commission processed claims from individuals and corporations and also public authorities regarding the environment and health. 19 years later, the experience …

A Call To Action: Turning The Golden State Into A Golden Opportunity For International Arbitration, David D. Caron, Leah D. Harhay
A Call To Action: Turning The Golden State Into A Golden Opportunity For International Arbitration, David D. Caron, Leah D. Harhay
David D. Caron
This Article highlights the challenges facing California in its efforts to become a center of international arbitration, provides examples of legislation for the California Bar and California State Legislature to consider, and suggests various avenues by which to bring California more fully into the international legal community. In particular, California unintentionally does not allow foreign attorneys to represent their clients in international arbitration conducted in California. Amidst both renewed efforts to make California a more likely seat of international arbitration and a legislative opening to revise this aspect of the law, change in the latter makes the former both possible …

By Prohibiting Foreign Lawyers From Participating, California Is Missing Out, David D. Caron, Leah D. Harhay
By Prohibiting Foreign Lawyers From Participating, California Is Missing Out, David D. Caron, Leah D. Harhay
David D. Caron
California Code of Civil Procedure §1282.4 and Local Rule 9.43 govern the ability of attorneys who are not members of the State Bar of California to act as counsel in international arbitrations here. Both allow out-of-state attorneys to participate in these arbitrations, but provide no similar provisions for out-of-country attorneys. However, even out-of-state attorneys are not safe. In 2011, when §1282.4 sunsets, out-of-state attorneys will also be barred from appearing as counsel in California-based international arbitrations.
The Oceans In The Nuclear Age, David D. Caron, Harry N. Scheiber
The Oceans In The Nuclear Age, David D. Caron, Harry N. Scheiber
David D. Caron
There are few moments which may be said to fundamentally alter the course of human events. The advent of the nuclear age in 1945 is clearly one of them. The nuclear age has many dimensions, the implications of which, seven decades later, are still unfolding. The oceans are not the focus of the nuclear age, but the affairs of the oceans are deeply woven into its history. This book considers how the nuclear age has affected the oceans and the legal regime of the oceans. The Law of the Sea of Institute undertook the Oceans in the Nuclear Age Project …
