Address To The American International Law Association, Tal Becker Jan 2004

Address To The American International Law Association, Tal Becker

ILSA Journal of International & Comparative Law

It is a pleasure and an honor for me to participate in this panel discussion. In my day job, I serve as the legal adviser to Israel's mission to the United Nations, and most of my comments today emerge less from academic research into the field of universal jurisdiction, and more from practical experience in issues related to international criminal justice both at the UN and outside it.

Universal Jurisdiction In Abstentia, Ryan Rabinovitch Jan 2004

Universal Jurisdiction In Abstentia, Ryan Rabinovitch

Fordham International Law Journal

The purpose of this Article is to provide some clarification of universal jurisdiction in absentia. It begins with a brief overview of the state of international law on the issue, centering on the decision of the minority judges who treated it in the Arrest Warrant decision, and discuss the applicable principles of international law, international treaties, and custom. It then briefly examines whether allowing States to exercise universal jurisdiction in absentia is consistent with the historical and philosophical justifications for the existence of universal jurisdiction generally. The final section of the Article discusses the policy implications of such an exercise.

Legalistic Individualism: An Alternative Analysis Of Kagan's Adversarial Legalism, Michael Dominic Meuti Jan 2004

Legalistic Individualism: An Alternative Analysis Of Kagan's Adversarial Legalism, Michael Dominic Meuti

UC Law SF International Law Review

An underlying ethos of American law is that an adversarial setting is a prerequisite for proper resolution of a dispute. But is that accurate? Comparative scholars have illustrated the diversity of methods available. In Adversarial Legalism, Robert Kagan considers the merits of these alternative systems. Although the book is not intended as a comprehensive agenda for reform, Kagan's message is clear: our procedures and methods for resolving disputes are a matter of choice, no matter how natural or entrenched they may appear to be. To the extent they do not serve us well, we should exercise our ability to make …

Defining Terrorism As The Peacetime Equivalent Of War Crimes: Problems And Prospects, Michael P. Scharf Jan 2004

Defining Terrorism As The Peacetime Equivalent Of War Crimes: Problems And Prospects, Michael P. Scharf

Faculty Publications

This article examines the proposal to define terrorism as the peacetime equivalent of war crimes in the context of answering two questions: First, why might it be useful to define terrorism by reference to the existing laws of war? And second, what are the potential negative consequences which might counsel against such an approach?


Commentary To Andreas Fischer- Lescano & Gunther Teubner. The Legitimacy Of International Law And The Role Of The State, Andreas L. Paulus Jan 2004

Commentary To Andreas Fischer- Lescano & Gunther Teubner. The Legitimacy Of International Law And The Role Of The State, Andreas L. Paulus

Michigan Journal of International Law

It will come as a surprise to many readers that Professor Teubner presented their fascinating contribution on regime collision to the Michigan Journal of International Law's Symposium on a panel devoted to "the Role of the State in International Law." Indeed, one could not imagine better devil's advocates than Professor Teubner and Dr. Andreas Fischer-Lescano. They propose a radical break with a concept of international law and order based on the autonomous will of Nation-States. Accordingly, legal regulation does not only, if at all, emanate from Nation-States, but from a panoply of other public and, mostly, private actors. Thus, the …

The Place Of Court-Connected Mediation In A Democratic Justice System, Nancy A. Welsh Jan 2004

The Place Of Court-Connected Mediation In A Democratic Justice System, Nancy A. Welsh

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

This Article will consider mediation as just one innovation within the much larger evolution of the judicial system of the United States. First, this Article will outline how the values of democratic governance undergird our traditional picture of the American justice system, presumably because the invocation of such values helps the system to deliver something that will be respected by the nation's citizens as "justice." The Article will then highlight particular aspects of the changing picture of the American civil justice system to suggest that today's sprawling and multitiered structure is increasingly disengaged from its democratic roots. Finally, the Article …
