Cuba Libre: A Verb? A Noun? Or A Cocktail?, Brian Eiselman
Cuba Libre: A Verb? A Noun? Or A Cocktail?, Brian Eiselman
San Diego International Law Journal
This Article examines the nature of the history and origins of hostilities between the United States and Cuba leading up to the Embargo, and the Constitutional issue regarding the possible termination of the Embargo in view of the Helms-Burton Act. While President Kennedy enacted the Embargo unilaterally, the Helms-Burton Act usurped the power to regulate and conduct international affairs from the President, requiring a two-thirds Senate majority in order to lift or modify the Embargo.[] Arguably, this provision violates both the United States Constitution as well as International Law.[] Under the Obama Administration there was a new attitude towards Cuba, …

The European Union’S Competence On Foreign Investment: “New And Improved”?, Dominik Moskvan
The European Union’S Competence On Foreign Investment: “New And Improved”?, Dominik Moskvan
San Diego International Law Journal
The general approach of the EU towards its trade and investment agenda changed in 2006 into a vigorous use of bilateral negotiations as the Union experienced opposition from emerging countries as well as the U.S. The use of bilateral agreements was seen as a reliable instrument to efficaciously realize the Union market power that was in decline. The future erosion of the EUs market position will likely continue and this will contribute to favoring the use of bilateral instead of multilateral trade agreements with the EU. However, as far as competence is concerned, should an investment treaty be signed in …

Equitable Apportionment Of Shared Transboundary River Waters: A Case Study Of Modifications Of The Indus Waters Treaty, Waseem Ahmad Qureshi
Equitable Apportionment Of Shared Transboundary River Waters: A Case Study Of Modifications Of The Indus Waters Treaty, Waseem Ahmad Qureshi
San Diego International Law Journal
The principle of equitable utilization and the doctrine of equitable apportionment are regarded highly in customary international law for the apportionment of transboundary river waters between upper and lower riparian states. In this regard, the Indus Waters Treaty is an excellent example of the pragmatic implementation of the principle of equitable utilization, as well as of the principles of equity and justice. The treaty allottedthree eastern rivers to India and three western rivers to Pakistan in an attempt to equitably divide the shared Indus River basin and its five tributaries between the neighboring countries. However, India has now expressed an …
Physician-Assisted Suicide: Removing Residency Requirements In The U.S. To Comport With An International Right To Health, Alexi Silverman
Physician-Assisted Suicide: Removing Residency Requirements In The U.S. To Comport With An International Right To Health, Alexi Silverman
San Diego International Law Journal
In 1948, the UN General Assembly passed a resolution, known as the International Bill of Human Rights. The Bill contains the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, articulating a human right to health. A subsequent treaty, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights states that “every human being has the inherent right to life.” Furthermore, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights protects access to healthcare. However, these treaties do not explicitly recognize a “right to die,” leaving the decision of whether to allow euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide within the discretion of individual countries.
With this international background …

Sub Judice And Free Speech: Balancing The Right To A Fair Trial Against Freedom Of Expression In Israel, Boaz Shnoor, Doron Menashe
San Diego International Law Journal
Over the past few years, a relatively large number of cases have arisen in Israel, in which media publications have allegedly influenced criminal proceedings. The Supreme Court of Israel has issued a number of inconsistent decisions regarding such publications.
In this Article, we will study the sub judice prohibition, analyze the concern of undue influence of media publications in criminal cases in light of contemporary behavioral literature, discuss the various approaches found in contemporary Israeli case law, and propose a new and better model.

Vatican Condemnation Of Nazi War Crimes: Pope Pius Xii’S Denunciation Of Wartime Atrocities, Donald H. J. Hermann
San Diego International Law Journal
The debate on the silence of Pope Pius XII has been rekindled by recent close examination of the Pope’s 1942 Christmas Message denouncing totalitarianism and the killing of persons “only because of their nationality and race,” along with a particular condemnation of Marxist Socialism and a call for national and international relations to be based on natural law principles guaranteeing justice, order, and peace. In particular, Michael Phayer, a historian writing on the Vatican’s relation to the Holocaust, suggested a need for renewed attention to the 1942 Christmas Message. According to Phayer:
Historians . . . have been rather too …

International Regulatory Entrepreneurship: Uber’S Battle With Regulators In France, Domenic J. Martini
San Diego International Law Journal
Uber is a regulatory entrepreneur: a company that seeks to change the law in its favor. In the United States, Uber’s regulatory entrepreneurship changed the American taxi industry and the laws that regulate it. But the company’s venture into France presented unique challenges. This Comment examines Uber’s regulatory entrepreneurship in France and analyzes the factors that hindered Uber’s quest to revolutionize the French taxi industry. It discusses the tension between Uber and the French government and the policies behind both sides’ goals. It also seeks a compromise between Uber and the French regulators: one that acknowledges the issues with both …
The Prosecution Of Pirates And The Enforcement Of Counter-Piracy Laws Are Virtually Incapacitated By Law Itself, Waseem Ahmad Qureshi
The Prosecution Of Pirates And The Enforcement Of Counter-Piracy Laws Are Virtually Incapacitated By Law Itself, Waseem Ahmad Qureshi
San Diego International Law Journal
The legal framework to fight and suppress piracy is embodied largely in the United Nations Convention on the Law of Sea (“UNCLOS”), 1982, which is supplemented by United Nations Security Council Resolutions, and international conventions and treaties. This Article aims to critique the existing legal framework against piracy and challenge its efficacy in successfully curbing and eradicating piracy around the world throughout history. Unlike the extensive literature on legal studies of piracy, this Article recognizes piracy as a global menace, rather than observing it through the lens of regional differences. Consequently, this Article seeks to identify creeks and holes within …
On The Precipice: Prospects For Free Labor Unions In Vietnam, Tran Thi Kieu Trang, Richard Bales
On The Precipice: Prospects For Free Labor Unions In Vietnam, Tran Thi Kieu Trang, Richard Bales
San Diego International Law Journal
Vietnam (officially, the “Socialist Republic of Vietnam”) is rapidly transitioning economically, in large part due to pro-trade policies that have attracted international capital. A necessary component for Vietnam to further integrate into the world economy is to develop a system of industrial relations that will ensure industrial stability and reassure international manufacturers that there is no risk of embarrassment resulting from revelations of brutal or unsafe working conditions. Positive signs for rapid labor reform were visible as recently as early 2016 with the Trans-Pacific Partnership (“TPP”), a trade agreement intended to integrate trade among twelve countries (including Vietnam), which would …
Sir, The Radar Sir, It Appears To Be . . . Jammed: The Future Of “The Right To Be Forgotten” In A Post-Brexit United Kingdom, Cory Dibene
San Diego International Law Journal
The “Right to be Forgotten” is an EU doctrine. However, now that the UK is progressing towards leaving the EU in 2019, it is important to examine what jurisprudential changes will follow. This Comment will examine the “Right to be Forgotten,” the UK’s criticism of the EU Internet doctrine, and the future of the doctrine in the UK once Brexit takes full effect.
The future is somewhat unclear since Brexit arguably jammed the “Right to be Forgotten’s” radar in the UK. Arguments can be made for abandoning the Right and creating a new jurisprudence in the UK. The House of …
