Agreements That Divide: Trips Vs. Cbd And Proposals For Mandatory Disclosure Of Source And Origin Of Genetic Resources In Patent Applications Comment, Jonathan Carr Jan 2008

Agreements That Divide: Trips Vs. Cbd And Proposals For Mandatory Disclosure Of Source And Origin Of Genetic Resources In Patent Applications Comment, Jonathan Carr

Florida State University Journal of Transnational Law & Policy

In an attempt to unify the regulation of intellectual property, the TRIPS Agreement sets forth standards for intellectual property law. Recently, however, many countries have become divided on the issue of whether member countries should be required to disclose the source and origin of genetic resources used in patented technologies. Developing countries claim that enforcement of such a requirement would help remedy the global biopiracy problem. This article reviews and assesses the many proposals to amend the TRIPS Agreement as well as the responses from countries, such as the United States, opposing the proposals. Included is a brief discussion about …


The Right To A Dignified Life (Vida Digna): The Integration Of Economic And Social Rights With Civil And Political Rights In The Inter-American Human Rights System, Jo M. Pasqualucci Jan 2008

The Right To A Dignified Life (Vida Digna): The Integration Of Economic And Social Rights With Civil And Political Rights In The Inter-American Human Rights System, Jo M. Pasqualucci

UC Law SF International Law Review

The Inter-American Court of Human Rights recently issued a series of controversial judgments in which it held States accountable for violations of the right to life, even when no one had died. The Court expanded the traditional scope of the right to life to include the right to live a "vida digna" or a dignified life. In doing so, the Court has introduced a qualitative aspect to the right to life. In certain circumstances in which vulnerable individuals or groups lacked basic necessities such as adequate food, water, sanitary facilities, and health care, the Court held that the State was …


Pornography, Coercion, And Copyright Law 2.0, Ann Bartow Jan 2008

Pornography, Coercion, And Copyright Law 2.0, Ann Bartow

Law Faculty Scholarship

The lack of regulation of the production of pornography in the United States leaves pornography performers exposed to substantial risks. Producers of pornography typically respond to attempts to regulate pornography as infringements upon free speech. At the same time, large corporations involved in the production and sale of pornography rely on copyright law's complex regulatory framework to protect their pornographic content from copying and unauthorized distribution. Web 2.0 also facilitates the production and distribution of pornography by individuals. These user-generators produce their own pornography, often looking to monetize their productions themselves via advertising revenues and subscription models. Much like their …


Loco Labels And Marketing Madness: Improving How Consumers Interpret Information In The American Food Economy, Margaret Sova Mccabe Jan 2008

Loco Labels And Marketing Madness: Improving How Consumers Interpret Information In The American Food Economy, Margaret Sova Mccabe

Law Faculty Scholarship

America's current food labeling scheme, as illustrated by the example of salt, is flawed when examined from the consumer and public health perspective. While the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act has sound scientific standards, those standards as currently applied to labels do not efficiently signal health information to consumers. Without better information on labels, consumers will continue to make poor choices at the grocery store. However, there are promising new ways to label. Both the United Kingdom and the domestic supermarket chain Hannaford’s have implemented simple health labeling on food packaging or grocery shelves to improve the amount and location …

Immigrant Access To Health Care And Public Health: An International Perspective, Sana Loue Jan 2008

Immigrant Access To Health Care And Public Health: An International Perspective, Sana Loue

Annals of Health Law and Life Sciences

This article considers the extent of international migration and associated concerns for the public health and advocates for an international perspective on the provision of health care to migrants. After discussing factors affecting the health of immigrants and exploring the role of public health, this article focuses on immigrant access to health care and specifically addresses the relationships between legal status, financial resources for health care, and access to care from such an international perspective. The author concludes that the failure to address immigrant health care in this larger international context ultimately impacts not only the individual immigrants, but their …

The Future Of Privacy Policies: A Privacy Nutrition Label Filled With Fair Information Practices, 26 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 1 (2008), Corey A. Ciocchetti

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

The article looks at the threats accompanying online shopping, such as identity theft and aggregated data files. Such issues arise when companies carelessly lose laptops filled with unencrypted data or callously sell data on the open market with collected personally identifying information (PII). The article explains that although privacy policies are supposed to force companies to strengthen their privacy practices they are not always effective because companies often post inconspicuous, vague and legalese-filled policies. These ambiguous postings cause online shoppers to blindly submit PII and ignore privacy practices completely. The article proposes a solution to this problem through the standardization …

Farmer Operations Of Color And Food Based Coalitions, Guadalupe T. Luna Jan 2008

Farmer Operations Of Color And Food Based Coalitions, Guadalupe T. Luna

St. Thomas Law Review

Legal theorists are engaging and pursuing alternative visions directed towards building coalitions between communities of color. We are told that "coalitions are necessary in order to fully understand and attack racial hierarchy and white supremacy in the United States." This essay explores the concept of coalition building and examines whether it would be a possible method for preserving and protecting communities of color. A remarkable, heinous agricultural history has thwarted the traditional land use practices of communities of color, who have also been subject to rural subordination by widespread white supremacy. Physical manifestations of rural racial superiority curtailed the operations …


Law, Food, And Culture: Mexican Corn's National Identity Cooked In "Tortilla Discourses" Post-Tlc/Nafta, Ernesto Hernandez-Lopez Jan 2008

Law, Food, And Culture: Mexican Corn's National Identity Cooked In "Tortilla Discourses" Post-Tlc/Nafta, Ernesto Hernandez-Lopez

St. Thomas Law Review

With this essay, I will briefly introduce an inquiry concerning food and national cultural identity as expressed in the law. I will examine current changes in the Mexican state's public legal obligations, i.e., the law, and the production and consumption of corn, i.e., maize or maiz. These changes suggest that law, food, and culture are mutually influential in their production and consumption. The specific law examined is Mexico's corn tariff regime altered by the Tratado de Libre Comercio de America de Norte/North American Free Trade Agreement ("TLC/NAFTA"), which in the year 2008 eliminates all tariffs for corn imports from the …

Assessing The Market For Human Reproductive Tissue Alienability: Why Can We Sell Our Eggs But Not Our Livers?, Brenda Reddix-Smalls Jan 2008

Assessing The Market For Human Reproductive Tissue Alienability: Why Can We Sell Our Eggs But Not Our Livers?, Brenda Reddix-Smalls

Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law

Currently, an unregulated marketplace for assisted reproductive technology exists in the United States. For some people suffering from infertility, the ability to purchase human reproductive tissue, eggs, and sperm yields a maximum benefit when examined in a market context. Buyers, sellers, supply and demand, and technological advances all operate in a robust marketplace to provide the infertile with a supply of human eggs for reproduction with minimum state and federal regulatory control. Conversely, the buying and selling of all other human organs and tissues is prohibited in the United States by several federal statutes. The National Organ Transplant Act (NOTA) …
