Natural Law As Part Of International Law: The Case Of The Armenian Genocide, Fernando R. Tesón Dec 2013

Natural Law As Part Of International Law: The Case Of The Armenian Genocide, Fernando R. Tesón

San Diego Law Review

In this Article I argue that some norms are part of international law even if they have never been created by treaty or custom. Because such norms have never been posited, they are natural law norms, and my thesis is that these natural law norms are as much part of international law as the posited norms. By this I mean that these norms should figure in any catalog of what international law prescribes or permits.

This paper presents conceptions from the Christian tradition that have special resonance modern International Humanitarian Law. The object of this paper supplies a lens that enables readers to detect the formative influence of unique Christian concepts. The conceptions from the Christian tradition presented include the Augustinian perspective on mortal and eternal life, the conception of a fallen world contrasted with a utopian vision, love as a motivation for peace, an expansive view of human community, the concept of role appropriate morality and the significance of outward signs and symbolism in the context of armed conflict.


A Response To Harel, Hope, And Schwartz, John Finnis Jan 2013

A Response To Harel, Hope, And Schwartz, John Finnis

Journal Articles

A seminar held in the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in December 2012 discussed critical comments by Alon Harel, Simon Hope, and Daniel Schwartz on themes and theses in Human Rights and Common Good, volume III of Collected Essays of John Finnis (Oxford University Press, 2011). Revised versions of these comments, and of the response I gave at this seminar, are now published in the Jerusalem Review of Legal Studies. The Response retains the informal and engaged character of this very good academic occasion. Section I considers Harel’s thesis that judicial review of legislation can be defended because my “in-authenticity” …

Dignity As Perception: Recognition Of The Human Individual And The Individual Animal In Legal Thought, Joseph Vining

Book Chapters

'To their murderers these wretched people were not individuals at all. They came in wholesale lots and were treated worse than animals.' This was Telford Taylor, beginning the presentation of the 'Medical Case' at the Nuremberg Trials after the Second World War. The 'Medical Case' was not about genocide or war or the conduct of war. It was about experimentation on human beings; and it was this trial that produced the 'Nuremberg Code', the first control of such treatment of human beings by one another. The word 'individual' came naturally to Taylor the lawyer as a starting point, and with …

De La Pirámide De Kelsen A La Pirámide Invertida, Juan Carlos Riofrío Martínez-Villalba Dec 2012

De La Pirámide De Kelsen A La Pirámide Invertida, Juan Carlos Riofrío Martínez-Villalba

Juan Carlos Riofrío Martínez-Villalba

El presente trabajo replantea la pirámide jurídica y la pule dándole la vuelta. Comienza haciendo un análisis crítico de la doctrina de Kelsen y de sus seguidores, quienes partieron de postulados idealistas derivados de la metafísica neokantiana. La segunda parte del estudio reexamina la cuestión, acogiendo abiertamente las bases realistas de la metafísica aristotélico-tomista. Desde ella se elaborarán nuevos conceptos para el derecho (v. gr. ser jurídico, potencia jurídica, espacio jurídico) que estructurarán por sí solos la pirámide invertida. Al final se analiza cómo la doctrina de la pirámide invertida recoge los aciertos de Kelsen y Merkl, junto a los …
