No Longer Immune? How Network Theory Decodes Normative Shifts In Personal Immunity For Heads Of State, Nadia Banteka Jan 2019

No Longer Immune? How Network Theory Decodes Normative Shifts In Personal Immunity For Heads Of State, Nadia Banteka

McGeorge School of Law Scholarly Articles

The customary international law (CIL) norm of personal immunity for Heads of State has come under significant fire in the past decade. While immunity norms have traditionally been absolute, the increasing influence of the human rights and anti-impunity movements, coupled with pleas for international criminal responsibility for egregious human rights and humanitarian violations, have eroded them, particulary within international jurisdictions. These changes reflect a larger challenge to the traditional statecentric model. Although states remain the primary makers of international law, many other participants, including international organizations, courts, and non-governmental oganizations (NGOs), are crucial to the development of international legal norms …

McGeorge School of Law Scholarly Articles

This essay, written for a symposium on insider trading in the Washington University Journal of Law and Policy, explores the different paths taken by the United States and the European Union with respect to who is subject to the prohibition on insider trading.

Understanding International Law, Stephen C. Mccaffrey Jan 2015

Understanding International Law, Stephen C. Mccaffrey

McGeorge School of Law Teaching Materials

his clearly written Understanding treatise is designed to explain what international law is, why it exists, and the basic subjects it covers. The law of treaties is given particular attention, chiefly because of the increasing importance of the treaty in international life. The number of treaties has mushroomed since the Second World War and many of these agreements include over 100 states as parties. Because of their number and the breadth of their coverage, treaties are thus the main form of international legislation. But since they are also contractual in character, and since many multilateral treaties allow states to place …

The Global Right To Property, John G. Sprankling Jan 2014

The Global Right To Property, John G. Sprankling

McGeorge School of Law Scholarly Articles

Does a right to property exist under international law? The traditional answer to this question is “no”―a right to property can arise only under national law. But sweeping economic and political changes in recent decades have laid the foundation for recognizing a global right to property. Ideological opposition to property rights has faded with the end of the Cold War; China, Russia, and other socialist states have transitioned to market economies which are premised on private property; and the globalization of trade has enhanced international support for protecting property rights. Accordingly, it is appropriate to revisit the question.

The Subversion Of State – To State Investment Treaty Arbitration, Jarrod Wong Jan 2014

The Subversion Of State – To State Investment Treaty Arbitration, Jarrod Wong

McGeorge School of Law Scholarly Articles

State-to-state arbitration provisions in bilateral investment treaties and other international investment agreements (collectively called BITs here) have been little used—and rightly so—given the introduction of investor-state arbitration provisions in the same BITs. In a handful of cases, however, some states have sought to resurrect state-to-state arbitration, either to contest issues already decided in separate investorstate arbitral proceedings, or else to stave off such proceedings. Most recently and controversially, in Ecuador v. U.S., Ecuador initiated arbitration against the United States under the U.S.-Ecuador BIT to (re)arbitrate an issue that had arguably been determined against Ecuador in a separate prior arbitration between …
