Testimony Before Congress

Mr. Chairman, almost twelve years have gone by since the passage of the AUMF on September 14, 2001. The war in Afghanistan–-the longest war in U.S. history--has begun to wind down. But at the same time, a far more shadowy war has quietly accelerated.

The Evolving Jurisprudence Of The Crime Of Rape In International Criminal Law, Phillip Weiner

Boston College Law Review

For centuries, rape has served as a weapon of war, despite criminal prohibitions forbidding its use. Nevertheless, only in recent decades has international law made significant strides in defining and prosecuting rape as a war crime and crime against humanity. International criminal tribunals prosecuting crimes of sexual violence in prior conflict zones such as Rwanda, Sierra Leone, and the former Yugoslavia have struggled to develop a coherent definition of the elements of rape. This is largely due to the unique aspects of consent and coercion that are inherent within a surrounding context of armed conflict. This Article begins by exploring ...

Training Army Judge Advocates To Advise Commanders As Operational Law Attorneys, Richard P. Dimeglio

Boston College Law Review

Today, U.S. Army commanders and the military lawyers assigned to advise them—Army Judge Advocates—find themselves operating in areas of extreme legal complexity, where nuanced political and strategic implications are often at the forefront, and where “black letter law” is rarely sufficient to render competent advice. Through formal training at The Judge Advocate General’s Legal Center and School, observance of the lessons learned by other Judge Advocates collected by the Center for Law and Military Operations, and hands-on training at Combat Training Centers, Army Judge Advocates are prepared to address the ever-increasing operational demands of the commanders ...

Globalization And Hegemony Shift: Are States Merely Agents Of Corporate Capitalism?, Upendra D. Acharya

Boston College Law Review

Since the advent of state sovereignty with the Peace of Westphalia, powerful Western nations have determined and applied international law in a manner that advance their national interests. In short, the international legal process has been a mechanism of hegemony, and powerful Western nations have been hegemons through this process over less-developed countries. Since the 1990s, however, the fall of the Soviet Union, the spread of technology, and the advent of multinational corporations have led to a new order wherein corporate capitalism has become a primary force in international law and states mostly serve corporate interests. This new order was ...

Due Process In American Military Tribunals After September 11, 2001, Gary Shaw

Touro Law Review

The Authorization for Use of Military Force ("AUMF") provides broad powers for a president after September 11, 2001. President Bush, under the AUMF, claimed he had the power to hold "enemy combatants" without due process. This gave rise to two questions that the article addresses: "Could they be held indefinitely without charges or proceedings being initiated? If proceedings had to be initiated, what process was due to the defendants?"

Australia's Views On Global Summitry: The Case Of The G20, Melissa Conley Tyler

Global Summitry Journal

When Australia announced in 2010 that it would become a member of the Asia Europe Meeting (ASEM), I sought out one’s of Australia’s leading experts on Australia-Europe relations, Professor Philomena Murray. I asked her why she thought Australia was pushing to become a member of ASEM after previous unsuccessful attempts. Her view: Australia is “a joiner.”

This appears to be a fair statement of Australia’s current approach to global summitry, a pattern begun during former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd’s tenure and still very much pursued under the leadership of the current Prime Minister Julia Gillard. To ...
