Case Note: The “Assigned Residence” Case: H.C. 7015/02 Ajuri Et Al. V. Idf Commander, Reuven Ziegler
Case Note: The “Assigned Residence” Case: H.C. 7015/02 Ajuri Et Al. V. Idf Commander, Reuven Ziegler
Dr. Reuven (Ruvi) Ziegler
The case discussed in this Note is surely one of the most important cases rendered by the Israeli High Court of Justice (hereinafter, HCJ) regarding judicial review of administrative acts performed by a Military Commander (hereinafter, MC) in areas subject to belligerent occupation based on a legal analysis of international humanitarian law (the Fourth Geneva Convention). The Court's ruling on the matter in question highlighted the fact that, while State Courts in other countries continue to refrain from putting measures undertaken by MCs of their respective armed forces under legal scrutiny, the HCJ sustains a longstanding tradition of such scrutiny; …

The Mote In Thy Brother’S Eye: A Review Of Human Rights As Politics And Idolatry, William M. Carter Jr.
The Mote In Thy Brother’S Eye: A Review Of Human Rights As Politics And Idolatry, William M. Carter Jr.
Articles
Michael Ignatieffs provocatively titled collection of essays, Human Rights As Politics and Idolatry [hereinafter Human Rights], is a careful examination of the theoretical underpinnings and contradictions in the area of human rights. At bottom, both of his primary essays, Human Rights As Politics and Human Rights As Idolatry, make a claim that is perhaps contrary to the instincts of human rights thinkers and activists: namely, that international human rights can best be philosophically justified and effectively applied to the extent that they strive for minimal ism. Human rights activists generally argue for the opposite conclusion: that international human rights be …
International Environmental Law And Emotional Rational Choice, Peter H. Huang
International Environmental Law And Emotional Rational Choice, Peter H. Huang
Publications
This paper considers how emotions can foster compliance by rational actors with international environmental law. Many environmental issues are highly emotionally charged. Both supporters of and opponents to international environmental law often feel very strongly about their positions and views. A psychological game-theoretic model focuses on the disciplinary role that losing face may play in compliance with international environmental law. This model implies that non-compliance, especially by high-profile international actors, should be highly and swiftly publicized upon detection and verification. The model also explains why actors care so much about soft, that is, non-binding international environmental law, such as international …

Sovereignty: The State, The Individual, And The International Legal System In The Twenty First Century, Ronald A. Brand
Sovereignty: The State, The Individual, And The International Legal System In The Twenty First Century, Ronald A. Brand
Articles
This essay proposes that an understanding of original concepts of sovereignty both helps explain twentieth century developments in international law and provides a proper context for coming changes in the ways in which persons relate to states, states relate to states within the international legal system, and ultimately and most importantly-the way international law affects and applies to persons. The most important developments in international law in the new century are likely not to be in state-state relationships but rather in the status and rights of the person in international law. The twentieth century process of globalization brought us back …
