The Rise Or The Fall Of International Law?, Edith Brown Weiss Jan 2000

The Rise Or The Fall Of International Law?, Edith Brown Weiss

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

This Article argues that traditional international law is healthy in the sense that there are more international agreements than ever, and States continue to serve important roles in the international system. It is falling, however, as the sole focus of international legal efforts. It is necessary to redefine international law to include actors other than States among those who make international norms and who implement and comply with them, and to include legal instruments that may not be formally binding. These developments raise three important issues: the need for the new actors to be accountable and for the new norms …


More Than Money, Justice Catherine Branson Jan 2000

More Than Money, Justice Catherine Branson

Fordham International Law Journal

In this Paper, I refer to probably the most disadvantaged sector of the Australian community, its indigenous peoples. I have chosen this group, because Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have become a significant body of litigants in my Court since the Federal Court of Australia was given jurisdiction to make determinations of native land title. I will start by providing some limited information concerning indigenous Australians. This information, by necessity, glosses over the diverse experiences and lifestyles of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and indeed, the diversity of non-indigenous Australian experiences and lifestyles. Nonetheless, it reflects the …

Punishment Goes Global: International Criminal Law, Conflict Zones, And Gender (In)Equality, Mark A. Drumbl Jan 2000

Punishment Goes Global: International Criminal Law, Conflict Zones, And Gender (In)Equality, Mark A. Drumbl

Scholarly Articles

The creation of the International Criminal Court (ICC) enables the international community to hold accountable those who inflict violence in the form of sexual and ethnic hatred. Drawing on case studies from Rwanda and Bosnia, the author observes the extent to which retributive criminal justice can deter offenders and foster structural societal change.

Pinochet And International Human Rights Litigation, Curtis A. Bradley, Jack L. Goldsmith Jun 1999

Pinochet And International Human Rights Litigation, Curtis A. Bradley, Jack L. Goldsmith

Michigan Law Review

The British House of Lords recently considered whether Augusto Pinochet was subject to arrest and possible extradition to Spain for alleged acts of torture and other egregious conduct carried out during his reign as Chile's head of state. The Law Lords held that a large majority of the charges against Pinochet were not proper grounds for extradition under British law. They also held, however, that Pinochet could potentially be extradited for alleged acts of torture committed after Britain's 1988 ratifica· tion of the Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment. In reaching this latter conclusion, …

From Renaissance Poland To Poland's Renaissance, Daniel H. Cole May 1999

From Renaissance Poland To Poland's Renaissance, Daniel H. Cole

Michigan Law Review

Poland is located in Eastern Europe - the "other Europe" - which shares a continent, but seemingly little else, with Western Europe. Most histories of Europe, legal histories included, are actually histories of Western Europe only. The "euro-centrism" some scholars complain about is, more accurately, a "western eurocentrism." The eastern half of the continent is ignored like the embarrassing black sheep of the European family. Economic historians have described Eastern Europe as a "backward" place, where feudal and mercantilist economies persisted as Western European economies modernized and industrialized. In geopolitical terms, Eastern Europe has been characterized as a region of …

Clash Of Power And Jurisdiction: The United States Supreme Court V. The International Court Of Justice, Charles B. Radlauer Jan 1999

Clash Of Power And Jurisdiction: The United States Supreme Court V. The International Court Of Justice, Charles B. Radlauer

St. Thomas Law Review

In Breard v. Greene, the Supreme Court of the United States ignored an order of the International Court of Justice ("ICJ") requesting a temporary stay of execution. In so doing, the Court may have violated Article 94 of the United Nations Charter, a duly ratified treaty of the United States, which requires the United States to abide by decisions of the ICJ. This case arose in federal court on a writ of habeas corpus on appeal from a state court conviction of attempted rape and murder in Virginia. After the writ of habeas corpus was denied in both the district …

Some Thoughts On Restoration, Reintegration And Justice In The Transnational Context, Mark Andrew Sherman Jan 1999

Some Thoughts On Restoration, Reintegration And Justice In The Transnational Context, Mark Andrew Sherman

Fordham International Law Journal

This Essay argues that all actors – prosecutors, judges, and defense counsel – should care about what happens to foreign offenders following a judgment of conviction or entrance of a guilty plea, and that transnational correctional processes should be constructed and used to facilitate restoration of the victim and victimized community, and rehabilitation and reintegration of the offender. This is critical because, as in the domestic context, decisions about where and how foreign offenders are to be punished have much to do with whether justice is achieved for victims, affected communities, and offenders.
