Revisiting Immigration Exceptionalism In Administrative Law, Christopher J. Walker

Reviews

With all the changes swirling in administrative law, one trend seems to be getting less attention than perhaps it should: the death of regulatory exceptionalism in administrative law. For decades, many regulatory fields—such as tax, intellectual property, and antitrust—viewed themselves as exceptional, such that the normal rules of the road in administrative law do not apply. The Supreme Court and the lower courts have increasingly rejected such exceptionalism in many regulatory contexts, emphasizing that the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) and related administrative law doctrines are the default rules unless Congress has clearly chosen to depart from them by statute in …

Deconstructing Caste-Based Private Discrimination: Comparative Examination Of India And Canada, Shubham Kumar

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

"Caste" is a rigid system of social hierarchy marked by deep-rooted divisions. These divisions are upheld through patriarchal and heteronormative practices, often enforced through the looming threats of social ostracism, economic boycotts, and physical violence, which also infringe upon the rights guaranteed by the Constitution of India. While numerous legal judgments and legislations have concentrated on mitigating caste-based discrimination by state authorities and individuals in public spaces, significantly less attention has been directed towards caste discrimination in private spheres, referred to as private discrimination. Despite explicit constitutional provisions that prohibit private discrimination and enable individuals to take legal action against …

Re-Imagining Indigenous Consultation: An Examination Of Canada’S Duty To Consult, Paul Hansen

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

This examination of Canada’s duty to consult doctrine advances two arguments. First, the doctrine may not be serving the interests of some consultation participants effectively. Second, the existing literature does not address the challenges posed by multi-jurisdictional projects or the Crown’s decreased involvement in consultations adequately. Consequently, our understanding of the doctrine is incomplete and our ability to improve its efficacy may be restricted.

This dissertation explores the doctrine’s principles, strengths, and weaknesses to identify opportunities for improvement. It re-imagines the doctrine, identifying specific ways to improve its efficacy. At bottom, this dissertation considers three questions. First, to what extent …

Breast Ironing: Analyzing The Rights Of The Girl-Child In The Context Of Cameroon’S Obligation Under International Human Rights Law, Olusola Babatunde Adegbite, Olaitan Oluwaseyi Olusegun

Buffalo Human Rights Law Review

Among the various forms of sexual violence perpetrated against the girl-child, breast ironing remains largely obscured due to its underreporting. Yet thousands of girls, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa where it is most prevalent, continue to suffer in silence. These girls are not just exposed to the immediate violence of this act, but they also carry the scar of this human rights violation for life. With the scholarly focus on the practice rather scant, the necessary legal response has also been checkmated. The goal of this article is to bring international focus to this problem by examining the practice in the …

Life Without Parole: An Eighth Amendment Analysis, Alexis Dicarlo

Buffalo Human Rights Law Review

This Article will analyze the constitutionality of life without parole under the U.S. Supreme Court’s test for categorical bans on sentencing practices. This article first addresses the cruelty of prison and how that affects individuals with life sentences specifically. Next, it will analyze life without parole under the Supreme Court’s Eighth Amendment analysis, starting with examining evolving standards of decency. In doing so, this article will address how the U.S. operates with respect to sentencing compared to the rest of the world. Importantly, it will engage in a culpability analysis, following the Supreme Court’s logic, that ultimately favors abolition of …

Addressing Root Causes: The Need For Ex-Ante Regulation In Business And Human Rights, Vidhya Karnamadakala

Buffalo Human Rights Law Review

With the rise of mandatory human rights due diligence (HRDD) laws across various jurisdictions, governments are turning to regulatory tools to tackle the transnational challenges of business and human rights. Yet, the dominant focus on an ex-post standard such as mandatory HRDD may not adequately address the root causes of rights abuses in commercial activities. The individualized ex-post enforcement model which underpins HRDD has limited potential to address the systemic infrastructure of exploitative business practices. The upstream purchasing and contracting practices which lead to human rights violations in supply chains are overlooked, and even reinforced, in such a model. Without …

Hate Speech, Historical Oppressions, And European Human Rights, Eva Nave

Buffalo Human Rights Law Review

Today, around 5 billion people communicate through the Internet. While the benefits of online communication are undeniable, we also witness the proliferation of online hate speech, often associated with an increase in offline violence. Internet intermediaries and public bodies have developed frameworks to counter online hate speech. However, current frameworks lack a standardized approach to the conceptualization of hate speech. Some conceptualizations are overbroad, and others are underinclusive; overbroad because they lead to the removal of legal content (e.g. removal tools deleting legal content posted by marginalized communities), and underinclusive as the context of posts by linguistic minorities is often …

The Forgotten: Nyc And School Segregation, Deja Graham

Buffalo Human Rights Law Review

School segregation is an issue of the past and present. Generations of Black and Brown Americans have attended schools that were inadequate and unequal to their white counterparts. This inequity in access to quality education has caused issues with diversity in professional fields, like the medical and legal fields. The lack of diversity in these fields are the results of decades of school segregation due to the government’s failure to eradicate the dual system of education. Since the landmark case of Brown v. Board of Education, little progress has been made in providing Black and Brown children in metropolitan cities …

Collaboration, Exclusion, And Refuge: Ftx’S Cross-Border Insolvency Strategies, Ethan Ashley

CICLR Online

The recent collapse of FTX and ensuing insolvency proceedings in the United States has stoked conversation regarding the administration of cross-border cryptocurrency insolvencies. In the case of FTX, insolvency proceedings in the United States, Australia, Turkey, and the Bahamas have demonstrated an unprecedented global footprint for a cryptocurrency exchange. As a result, these proceedings will have long-lasting impacts and may serve as a road map for how regulators and administrators can cooperate and navigate competing regulatory pressures and proceedings in the future.
