Soldiers Of Semipalatinsk: Seeking A Theory And Forum For Legal Remedy, Anne Miers Kammer
Soldiers Of Semipalatinsk: Seeking A Theory And Forum For Legal Remedy, Anne Miers Kammer
San Diego International Law Journal
This Comment will address the unique dilemma of individuals in Kazakhstan whose health has been compromised by the former Soviet Union's 40-year period of nuclear testing on what is now Kazakhstan soil. The principal legal analysis of this Comment will focus on the availability of remedies (in the form of monetary damages available through legal resolution) to the citizens and/or state of Kazakhstan, and potential judicial forums in which to seek those remedies. Particular attention will be paid to the comparative likelihood of successful remedial legal action if pursued by a private class of Kazakhstan citizens versus action pursued by …

Jurisdictional Theory "Made In Japan": Convergence Of U.S. And Continental European Approaches, Akihiro Hironaka
Jurisdictional Theory "Made In Japan": Convergence Of U.S. And Continental European Approaches, Akihiro Hironaka
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
Recent Japanese cases concerning international jurisdiction illustrate a convergence of two distinct legal approaches to the treatment of jurisdictional issue--a rule-based, inflexible approach in Continental European countries and a standard-based, flexible approach in the United States. Japan's unique framework, as explained in this Article, might provide a useful perspective to solve the difficult question currently imposed on the Hague Conference: How is it possible to achieve comprehensive harmonization of the jurisdictional systems of the world?

Continuing Crimes In The Rome Statute, Alan Nissel
Continuing Crimes In The Rome Statute, Alan Nissel
Michigan Journal of International Law
One of the most ambitious goals of the International Criminal Court is to balance the ideal of ending impunity with the legalistic protection of the accused from the arbitrary application of law. Accordingly, the main task of this Article will be to determine when continuing crimes will fall under the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court according to the established primary and secondary sources of international law-i.e., within the rule of law.
Bridging Fragmentation And Unity: International Law As A Universe Of Inter-Connected Islands, Joost Pauwelyn
Bridging Fragmentation And Unity: International Law As A Universe Of Inter-Connected Islands, Joost Pauwelyn
Michigan Journal of International Law
The fragmentation of the international legal system is not new. The consent-based nature of international law inevitably led to the creation of almost as many treaty regimes, composed of different constellations of states, as there are problems to be dealt with. Traditionally, these different regimes operated in virtual isolation from each other. Most importantly, the Bretton Woods institutions (World Bank, IMF, and GATT, now WTO) focused on the world's economic problems, while the UN institutions tackled the world's political problems. Both the IMF and World Bank articles of agreement, for example, explicitly state that political factors cannot be taken into …
