The Development Of Sex Trafficking In Central America, Kate Zdrojewski
The Development Of Sex Trafficking In Central America, Kate Zdrojewski
Human Rights & Human Welfare
Human trafficking in Central America has taken center stage since the late 1990s. This increase in public attention has been driven by U.S. initiatives, such as the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA), as well as the United Nations Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children, commonly known as the Trafficking Protocol. The United States has the reputation of being the leader in the fight against trafficking in Central America, using the TVPA and the Trafficking Protocol as primary mechanisms for anti-trafficking efforts.
International Law And Human Trafficking, Lindsey King
International Law And Human Trafficking, Lindsey King
Human Rights & Human Welfare
International law is a powerful conduit for combating human trafficking. The most reputable and recent instruments of international law that have set the course for how to define, prevent, and prosecute human trafficking are the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime and its two related protocols: the United Nations Protocol to Prevent, Suppress, and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children, and the United Nations Protocol against the Smuggling of Migrants by Land, Sea, and Air, which entered into force in 2003-2004. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) created these conventions, which have supported international …

National Security Courts: Star Chamber Or Specialized Justice?, Mark R. Shulman
National Security Courts: Star Chamber Or Specialized Justice?, Mark R. Shulman
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
In October 2008, the author moderated a panel discussion addressing the utility of establishing a new national security court system for administering the detention and trial of terrorist suspects. The discussion featured comments by five lawyers with significant academic and practical experience in the field: Richard Zabel, a litigation partner at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP, a former Assistant U.S. Attorney and co-author of In Pursuit of Justice: Prosecuting Terrorism Cases in the Federal Courts; Glenn L. Sulmasy, an Associate Professor of Law at the United States Coast Guard Academy and author of the forthcoming book, The National …
Failures To Punish: Command Responsibility In Domestic And International Law, Amy J. Sepinwall
Failures To Punish: Command Responsibility In Domestic And International Law, Amy J. Sepinwall
Michigan Journal of International Law
This Article embraces one of two contested understandings of what a failure to punish entails. On the first understanding, a military commander's failure to punish is construed solely as a dereliction of duty. Accordingly, his failure to punish constitutes a separate offense from the underlying atrocity that his troops have committed. The failure to punish is, then, a substantive offense in its own right. On a second understanding, for which I argue here, the failure to punish renders the commander criminally liable for the atrocity itself, even if he neither ordered nor even knew about the atrocity before its occurrence. …

Correcting Injustice: Studying How The United Kingdom And The United States Review Claims Of Innocence, Lissa Griffin
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
This article examines the U.K. and U.S. systems to determine what lessons, if any, the United States can learn from the United Kingdom's experience. Part I provides a background of the CCRC and the U.K. Court of Appeal, and describes how these two entities work in tandem with broad powers to investigate and correct miscarriages of justice in the United Kingdom. Part II takes an in-depth look at the Court of Appeal's decisions of CCRC referred cases and identifies five categories into which these decisions fall-- categories that exemplify the institutional mechanisms that facilitate review of miscarriages of justice. These …

Individual Accountability For Human Rights Abuses: Historical And Legal Underpinnings, Steven R. Ratner, Jason S. Abrams, James L. Bischoff
Book Chapters
The international legal community is beset today with talk of accountability. Governments, international organizations, non-governmental organizations, and scholars speak of the need to hold individuals responsible for official acts that violate the most cherished of international human rights. Some study the nature of various infractions with an eye toward codification; others seek to create or engage mechanisms for trying or otherwise punishing individuals. Their common mission is based on a shared understanding that international law has a role to play not only in setting standards for governments, non-state actors, and their agents, but in prescribing the consequences of a failure …
Eight Perspectives On Yvon Neptune V. Haiti, Jens Iverson
Eight Perspectives On Yvon Neptune V. Haiti, Jens Iverson
UC Law SF International Law Review
Yvon Neptune v. Haiti is a noteworthy decision of the Inter- American Court of Human Rights, with potentially wide-ranging impacts. The Court ordered a wholesale change in the Haitian prison system in order to prevent Haiti from violating former Haitian Prime Minister Yvon Neptune's rights again. Haiti violated Articles 1 (obligation to respect rights), 5 (humane treatment), 7 (personal liberty), 8 (fair trial) and 25 (the right to judicial protection) of the American Convention on Human Rights. Haitian and U.S. human rights groups worked together with a "virtual" human rights clinic to trigger the decision by filing a petition with …
"We're Very Apolitical": Examining The Role Of The International Legal Assistance Expert, Blake K. Puckett
"We're Very Apolitical": Examining The Role Of The International Legal Assistance Expert, Blake K. Puckett
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
International rule of law practitioners are important sources of knowledge transmission in the promotion of global governance. Yet they face significant barriers in their role as bearers of a globalizing legal culture. This article analyzes three of these barriers in the context of rule of law promotion in Central Asia. First, practitioners tend to dismiss the political nature of their work, which local actors then appropriate for their own purposes. Second, this misconception is amplified by the lack of adequate training, experience and continuity among rule of law practitioners. Third, the language barrier and the challenge of translation remain underappreciated. …
Human Rights, American Exceptionalism, And The Stories We Tell, Natsu Taylor Saito
Human Rights, American Exceptionalism, And The Stories We Tell, Natsu Taylor Saito
Faculty Publications By Year
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights represents a remarkable expansion in the recognition of the fundamental rights of all peoples. Nonetheless, consensus on the implementation of these rights is elusive. Two commonly referenced obstacles to achieving such a consensus are: (1) the United States’ practice of unilaterally exempting itself from international human rights treaties, i.e., American exceptionalism; and (2) resistance from those who see the international human rights movement as a means of imposing Western values on non-Western cultures. Considering these as related issues, both deriving from the Eurocentric nature of contemporary international law, this essay suggests that a truly …
Protecting Global Cities : New York, London, And The Internationalization Of Urban Counterterrorism, Brian H. Nussbaum
Protecting Global Cities : New York, London, And The Internationalization Of Urban Counterterrorism, Brian H. Nussbaum
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
This dissertation examines the impact of international terrorism on the policing (both the policing structures and policing strategies) of large globaized cities, with a focus on New York City and London. Combining historical analysis, secondary source material, and extensive interviews with police officials and officers, it seeks to examine the underlying structural constraints and resources that lead these cities to internationalize their counterterrorism efforts.
No Way Out? The Question Of Unilateral Withdrawals Of Referrals To The Icc And Other Human Rights Courts, Michael P. Scharf, Patrick Dowd
No Way Out? The Question Of Unilateral Withdrawals Of Referrals To The Icc And Other Human Rights Courts, Michael P. Scharf, Patrick Dowd
Faculty Publications
Growing out of the authors' work for the International Criminal Court, which was sponsored by a grant from the Open Society Institute, No Way Out examines one of the most vexing legal questions facing the International Criminal Court - whether a State that has referred a case to the Court can subsequently withdraw its referral as part of a domestic peace agreement? The issue has arisen with respect to Uganda's interest in withdrawing its self-referral as part of a peace deal with the leaders of the Lord's Resistance Army. This article examines the Rome Statute, the drafting history, and the …
Foreword: After Guantanamo, Michael P. Scharf, Sonia Vohra
Foreword: After Guantanamo, Michael P. Scharf, Sonia Vohra
Faculty Publications
“Guantanamo Bay.” To many around the world those two words conjure up haunting images of orange jumpsuit-clad detainees imprisoned behind barbed-wire fences, subjected to the cruelest imaginable interrogation techniques, and held indefinitely without trial, or awaiting trial before military commissions whose procedures violate international law. It is no surprise, then, that the new U.S. administration perceived the Guantanamo Bay detention center and associated detainee policies as an indelible stain on America's moral authority and an impediment to the success of future U.S. foreign policy.
Obstacles On The Road To Gender Justice: The International Criminal Tribunal For Rwanda As Object Lesson, Beth Van Schaack
Obstacles On The Road To Gender Justice: The International Criminal Tribunal For Rwanda As Object Lesson, Beth Van Schaack
Faculty Publications
Although the substantive law concerned with gender violence is now well established, and the principle of legality can no longer serve as a barrier to prosecutions for gender violence, significant obstacles remain to ensuring a robust system of gender justice in international criminal law in the face of continued violations. These obstacles are less visible than defects in positive law because they emerge in the practice of international criminal law at crucial yet shrouded stages of the penal process: investigation, charging, pre-trial plea negotiations, trial preparation, theprovision of protective measures, and appeals. Most importantly, strong positive law is irrelevant where …

Barry Law Review
This article examines the statistics concerning piratical incidents occurring in the year 2008 and their impact on the world economy. This article also reviews the total scope of sea piracy worldwide with regard to the number and type of incidents thereof, because Somalia is not the only place in the world where sea piracy occurs. Finally, this article analyzes the history of prescribing and enforcing a jurisdiction regarding the international law of sea piracy.
Towards A Unique Theory Of International Criminal Sentencing, Jens David Ohlin
Towards A Unique Theory Of International Criminal Sentencing, Jens David Ohlin
Cornell Law Faculty Publications
International criminal law currently lacks a robust procedure for sentencing convicted defendants. Legal scholars have already critiqued the sentencing procedures at the ad hoc tribunals, and the Rome Statute does little more than refer to the gravity of the offense and the individual circumstances of the criminal. No procedures are in place to guide judges in exercising their discretion in a matter that is arguably the most central aspect of international criminal law - punishment. This paper argues that the deficiency of sentencing procedures stems from a more fundamental theoretical deficiency - the lack of a unique theory of punishment …

Complementarity In Crisis: Uganda, Alternative Justice, And The International Criminal Court, Alexander K.A. Greenawalt
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
In this Article, I take up a focused analysis of the Uganda prosecutions, considering both the interpretive dilemmas facing the Court and the efforts of Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo to address them. Part I provides a summary of events leading to the LRA arrest warrants and the recent peace negotiations. Part II turns to the text of the Rome Statute, with a focus on Article 19's framework for complementary jurisdiction and the Article 53 dictate that “interests of justice” may trump the admissibility of investigations and cases that otherwise meet all relevant statutory criteria. Although the ICC is structured to give …
