Israel, Palestine, And The Icc, Daniel Benoliel, Ronen Perry
Israel, Palestine, And The Icc, Daniel Benoliel, Ronen Perry
Michigan Journal of International Law
In the wake of the Israel-Gaza 2008-09 armed conflict and recently commenced process at the International Criminal Court (ICC), the Court will soon face a major challenge with the potential to determine its degree of judicial independence and overall legitimacy. It may need to decide whether a Palestinian state exists, either for the purposes of the Court itself, or perhaps even in general. The ICC, which currently has 113 member states, has not yet recognized Palestine as a sovereign state or as a member. Moreover, although the ICC potentially has the authority to investigate crimes which fall into its subject-matter …
The Challenges For Asian Jurisdictions In The Development Of International Criminal Justice, Mark Findlay
The Challenges For Asian Jurisdictions In The Development Of International Criminal Justice, Mark Findlay
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
The paper reviews the different frameworks for international criminal justice in which China’s influence can be measured, or should be present, looking specifically at procedural traditions on which international criminal law and its jurisprudence are said to be based. Understanding China as a transitional hybrid criminal justice model undergoing radical transformation in its justice delivery and discourse, it is argued, assists significantly in forecasting where the synthesis of international criminal procedure may be heading. Attached to a re-interpretation and critique of individualised liability is the unpacking of China’s in principle commitment to communitarian rights and social protection as a foundation …
False Imprisonment As A Tort In India, Hari Priya
False Imprisonment As A Tort In India, Hari Priya
Hari Priya
The tort of false imprisonment is one of the most severe forms of human rights violation, and this paper aims to define and to understand the concept of false imprisonment as a tort in India. It also seeks to know about the evolution of the notion of false imprisonment as a tort, with reference to Indian and foreign cases, and understand who and when can one be held liable for the tort of false imprisonment. It further deals with the remedies available for the said tort.
Three Obstacles To The Promotion Of Corporate Social Responsibility By Means Of The Alien Tort Claims Act: The Sosa Court's Incoherent Conception Of The Law Of Nations, The "Purposive" Action Requirement For Aiding And Abetting, And The State Action Requirement For Primary Liability, David A. Dana, Michael Barsa
Faculty Working Papers
The ATCA could be a powerful tool to promote corporate CSR, especially in developing countries where local legal restraints are weak. But despite the good normative reasons why the ATCA should be used in this way, serious obstacles remain. The Supreme Court's ahistorical and incoherent formulation of the "law of nations" fails to promote the development of the ATCA in ways that would cover even serious environmental harm. Also, the federal courts' confused jurisprudence concerning aiding and abetting and state action creates too many loopholes through which egregious corporate behavior may slip unpunished. In order to overcome these obstacles, we …
Potential For Future Growth Of The International Criminal Court: Possible Expansion Toward Universal Jurisdiction, Michael K. Marriott
Potential For Future Growth Of The International Criminal Court: Possible Expansion Toward Universal Jurisdiction, Michael K. Marriott
Michael K Marriott
Having an intact legal system to prosecute serious criminal offenses is a luxury taken for granted in many parts of the developed world. While comprehensive domestic legal systems are preferable to the far more complex international legal system, an unfortunate reality of the contemporary world is that where many of the most shocking and large-scale violent crimes take place, there is no domestic legal system to speak of. The International Criminal Court was created to meet the need of prosecuting these offenses. Limited in its jurisdiction on a variety of levels, the ICC nevertheless has on its current docket the …
The Great Pharmaceutical Patent Robbery, And The Curious Case Of The Chemical Foundation, Christopher Wadlow
The Great Pharmaceutical Patent Robbery, And The Curious Case Of The Chemical Foundation, Christopher Wadlow
Christopher Wadlow
In 1918, the United States confiscated virtually all German-owned intellectual property assets within its jurisdiction. Out of 6,000 patents in the chemical field, 4,500 were assigned for a very modest consideration to an newly-established entity, the Chemical Foundation, which was incorporated with the objective of licensing and managing them for the benefit of the United States chemical industry. This article describes the origins and activities of the Chemical Foundation, and considers whether it provides a useful model, or at least useful lessons, for the collective management of patents today.
Tribal Land Laws In Andhra Pradesh, Hari Priya
Section 4 Of The Hindu Succession Act Of 1956, Hari Priya
Section 4 Of The Hindu Succession Act Of 1956, Hari Priya
Hari Priya
A brief write up in the form of a comprehensive article aiming to critically evaluate the Section 4 of the Hindu Succession Act of 1956. The law, as it stands amended, has not only brought about changes in the succession laws of Hindus, but has also paved the way for some positive modifications in the law of partition, alienation of property, inheritance and adoption, and the paper is an effort to evaluate this provision of the law.
An Empirical Examination Of Universal Jurisdiction For Piracy, Eugene Kontorovich, Steven Art
An Empirical Examination Of Universal Jurisdiction For Piracy, Eugene Kontorovich, Steven Art
Faculty Working Papers
This Essay presents the first systematic empirical study of the incidence of universal jurisdiction prosecutions over an international crime. Using data on the number of piracies committed in a twelve year period (1998-2009) obtained from international agencies and maritime industry groups, we determine the percentage of acts of piracy where nations prosecuted under universal jurisdiction we determine the percentage of these cases where nations exercised UJ. Studies of the worldwide use of UJ over other crimes simply count how often UJ has been exercised, but do not attempt to determine the rate of prosecution.
We find that of all clearly …

There Is No Norm Of Intervention Or Non-Intervention In International Law, Anthony D'Amato
Faculty Working Papers
Comments on Prof. Jianming Shen's position that humanitarian intervention is unlawful under international law and that there is a principle of non-intervention in international law that is so powerful that it amounts to a jus cogens prohibition.

Foreign Fishing Piracy Vs. Somalia Piracy – Does Wrong Equal Wrong?, Leticia M. Diaz, Barry Hart Dubner
Foreign Fishing Piracy Vs. Somalia Piracy – Does Wrong Equal Wrong?, Leticia M. Diaz, Barry Hart Dubner
Barry Law Review
This article is a sequel to the authors' last article, On the Evolution of the Law of International Sea Piracy, published in December 2009. That article attempted to illustrate the enormous problem of sea piracy off of Somalia. This article was inspired by the authors' attendance and participation at a two-day conference sponsored by the Harvard Kennedy School’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs. After the conference the authors were inspired to write this article, setting forth a view of why Somali piracy started and some of the problems created by these illegal acts.
Reconsidering Reprisals, Michael A. Newton
Reconsidering Reprisals, Michael A. Newton
Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications
The prohibition on the use of reprisals is widely regarded as one of the most sacrosanct statements of the jus in bello applicable to the conduct of modern hostilities. The textual formulations are stark and subject to no derogations. Supporters of the bright line ban describe it as a vital bulwark against barbarity. In the words of the International Committee of the Red Cross, the prohibition is absolute, despite the fact that the declarations of key states indicate residual ambiguity over the scope of permissible reprisals, particularly in the context of non-international armed conflicts. Reprisals are a recurring feature of …

The Foreign Commerce Clause, Anthony J. Colangelo
The Foreign Commerce Clause, Anthony J. Colangelo
Faculty Journal Articles and Book Chapters
This Article comprehensively addresses Congress’s powers under the Constitution’s Foreign Commerce Clause. Congress has increasingly used the Clause to pass laws of unprecedented and aggressive reach over both domestic and foreign activity. Yet despite the Clause’s mounting significance for modern U.S. regulatory regimes at home and abroad, it remains an incredibly under-analyzed source of constitutional power. Moreover, faced with an increasing number of challenges under the Clause lower courts have been unable to coherently articulate the contours of Congress’s legislative authority. When courts have tried, their efforts have largely been wrong. The Article explains why they have been wrong and …
R. V. Munyaneza: Pondering Canada's First Core Crimes Conviction, Robert Currie
R. V. Munyaneza: Pondering Canada's First Core Crimes Conviction, Robert Currie
Articles, Book Chapters, & Popular Press
Canada recently completed its first genocide trial, which resulted in the conviction of the Rwandan accused, Desiré Munyaneza, for crimes committed during the Rwandan genocide. While the case is still under appeal, it represents a significant success for Canada’s relatively new core crimes legislation, the Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes Act, and was the first prosecution undertaken pursuant to that law. Drawing upon the Munyaneza case, the authors analyze the legislation and evaluate its effectiveness. They conclude that the model is an effective one that both bodes well for Canada’s future participation in the battle against impunity, and provides …
