Fundamental Rights On The Infobahn: Regulating The Delivery Of Internet Related Services Within The European Union, Patrick G. Crago
Fundamental Rights On The Infobahn: Regulating The Delivery Of Internet Related Services Within The European Union, Patrick G. Crago
UC Law SF International Law Review
The European Union (EU), and its Member States, is currently struggling with the question of if and/or how to regulate the rapidly expanding content and services available over the Internet, an international communications medium. Some Member States are unilaterally acting to regulate the delivery of Internet related services, while other Member States are still debating whether they should regulate. The EU continues to study the issue, proposing that the Member States cooperate together to resolve the issue.
This Note posits that as a result of the uniquely international nature of the Internet, and the cultural, political, and social issues its …
The Committee On The Regions And The Role Of Regional Governments In The European Union, Naomi Roht-Arriaza
The Committee On The Regions And The Role Of Regional Governments In The European Union, Naomi Roht-Arriaza
UC Law SF International Law Review
The process of European integration has been accompanied by a movement towards decentralization and devolution of power in many states within the European Union (EU). Subnational governments like L.nder, regions, or autonomous communities are seeking increased participation in the design and implementation of EU policies and in EU-level institutions. This Article explores the role of regions within the EU. It considers why subnational governments have assumed a growing role in European affairs, summarizes the mechanisms available in the most decentralized states for subnational input into EU policy formulation and implementation. It then focuses on the institutional mechanisms devised to allow …
To Judge Between The Nations: Post Cold War Transformations In National Security And Separation Of Powers--Beating Nuclear Swords Into Plowshares In An Imperfectly Competitive World, Antonio F. Perez
UC Law SF International Law Review
This Article describes the conflicting policy interests the U.S. government pursued in relation to its nonproliferation interest, on the one hand, in the security of excess Russian weapons-usable nuclear material and protectionist trade interests, on the other in preventing importation of low-cost Russian uranium and the conditions for privatization of the Government-owned corporation processing uranium for use in nuclear power reactors. The Article draws on recent national security literature to argue that both the nonproliferation and protectionist interests involve national security concerns; it then employs public choice theory to demonstrate that the Executive Branch is more likely than Congress to …

Reconcilable Differences--The Interpretation Of Multilingual Treaties, Dinah Shelton
Reconcilable Differences--The Interpretation Of Multilingual Treaties, Dinah Shelton
UC Law SF International Law Review
The practice of authenticating treaties in several languages has grown in recent decades as multilateral agreements are concluded in the six official languages of the United Nations or the corresponding number of official languages of other sponsoring organizations. Problems of translation errors, ambiguities, and deliberate differences lead to conflicts over the content of obligations and rights contained in the treaties. The Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties provides some guidance to interpreting texts authenticated in several languages, but more effort is needed during negotiations to avoid discordant texts. In addition, the author proposes that greater recourse be had to …

Exporting Ethics: Lessons From Russia's Attempt To Regulate Federal Lobbying, Jason D. Kaune
Exporting Ethics: Lessons From Russia's Attempt To Regulate Federal Lobbying, Jason D. Kaune
UC Law SF International Law Review
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, U.S. experts have attempted to assist the Russian Federation in developing legal means to control and regulate lobbying. Faced with rampant corruption and the lack of a democratic tradition, the Russian government must address questions concerning lobbying that have troubled the United States for decades.
Mr. Kaune analyzes the 1995 attempt to export the U.S. model of regulating business-government contracts through a Russian federal law on lobbying. Although that attempt failed, the effort provides a number of lessons about both lobbying in Russia and relations between Russia and the United States.
The Five Bases Of Extraterritorial Jurisdiction And The Failure Of The Presumption Against Extraterritoriality, Wade Estey
UC Law SF International Law Review
A nation can exercise two types of jurisdiction: territorial and extraterritorial. The exercise of extraterritorial jurisdiction elicits controversy because of possible international law conflicts. The United States applies a presumption against extraterritorial application of domestic law. However, the presumption of extraterritorial application ignores the propriety of its use.
This Note revises the presumption upon reviewing various statutory and case law applications of extraterritorial jurisdiction in the United States. This Note also proposes a new paradigm for proper use of extraterritorial jurisdiction. The new paradigm posits that the presumption against extraterritorial jurisdiction can be rebutted in five situations: (1) Nationality Jurisdiction, …

Protection Of Internally Displaced Persons In Internal Conflicts, Luke T. Lee
Protection Of Internally Displaced Persons In Internal Conflicts, Luke T. Lee
ILSA Journal of International & Comparative Law
There are some thirty million internally displaced persons (IDPs) today as compared to fifteen million refugees. The root causes generating refugees and IDPs are essentially the same: armed conflicts and human rights abuses. While refugees are protected by a number of international treaties and organizations, and are enjoying comparative safety in countries of asylum or resettlement, IDPs are not - supposedly on the ground that since IDPs are within their own country, their government should be responsible for their protection.

Russian Minorities In The Newly Independent States, John Quigley
ILSA Journal of International & Comparative Law
One of the legal issues left by recent territorial change in Eastern Europe is the status of persons of a former majority group who become a minority. This issue has presented particular difficulties where, the remaining population is of an ethnic group that formerly held a predominant role vis-d-vis an ethnic group that, as a result of the territorial change, has become a majority.

The New Dynamics Of Self-Determination, Valerie Epps
