American Refugees And Asylum Seekers In Canada, Todd W. Zabel May 2006

American Refugees And Asylum Seekers In Canada, Todd W. Zabel

ExpressO

American Soldier, Jeremy Hinzman, deserted his Iraq bound unit in 2003 and fled to Canada where he now seeks asylum with his wife and young son. The legal implications of his case are explored against the background of the American and Canadian political landscapes. The Canadian Court’s ultimate denial of his application evidences sweeping changes in Canada’s approach to International Law.


The Military Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act And Its Implications For Private Military Companies, Dustin M. Tipling May 2006

The Military Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act And Its Implications For Private Military Companies, Dustin M. Tipling

ExpressO

Private Military Companies (PMCs) are civilian staffed corporations that provide military (and law enforcement) services, logistics, and support under contract to a government both inside and outside the country’s borders. Prior to Congress passing the Military Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act, U.S. courts lacked jurisdiction to prosecute civilians accompanying United States’ Armed Forces overseas. This article will specifically address how the United States exercises jurisdiction and prosecutes the civilian employees of PMCs in United States courts for crimes they have committed in foreign countries while working under contract to the United States government.

Rättens Ordning I Den Tid Som Återstår, Matilda Arvidsson Dec 2005

Rättens Ordning I Den Tid Som Återstår, Matilda Arvidsson

Dr Matilda Arvidsson

The article investigates the fundamental concept of 'time' within the framework of the laws of war, using the War on Terrorism as a starting point and the 2003 invasion and subsequent occupation of Iraq as an example. The article argues for an eschatological understanding of time during the War on Terrorism, framing a state of exception, and ultimately keeping law on hold in an enduring 'now' while messianic hopes for redemption are directed towards a new future to come after war.
