A Feminist Understanding Of Sex-Selective Abortion: Solely A Matter Of Choice, April L. Cherry

Law Faculty Articles and Essays

This essay consists of five sections. The first section describes the problem of sex-selective abortion, including an analysis of sociological data regarding adult preference for male children and its current effects. Section Two discusses various philosophical paradigms and analyses of sex-selective abortion with the goal of developing a coherent philosophical base from which to argue for a policy regarding sex-selective abortion which furthers the goals of gender equality. Section Three addresses the constitutionality of sex-selective abortion prohibitions in light of the Supreme Court's pronouncement in Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey. Section Four outlines the liberal feminist response to …

The Role Of Multilateral Finance And The Environment: A View From The World Bank, Andrew Steer, Jocelyn Mason

Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies

Dr. Steer and Mr. Mason begin by noting that since fundingfor

the Rio Earth Summit agreements has not been forthcoming,

multilateralfinanciailn stitutions (MFIs) have taken responsibilityf or

advancing the environmental agenda set forth at the Summit. Dr.

Steer and Mr. Mason note that MFIs furnish three crucial functions

in implementing the global environmental agenda. First, MFIs are

able to target investments in developing countries that involve

important environmental issues. Second, MFIs are able to support

policy reforms within developing countries to ensure environmental

standards and issues are properly addressed. Finally, MFIs can

multiply a small amount offunding into a significant …

Customary (And Not So Customary) International Environmental Law, Daniel Bodansky

Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies

In this article, Professor Bodansky examines the creation and importance of customary international law. He suggests that the debate over the legal status of any given norm may be misplaced Instead, he suggests that international lawmakers should spend their time and energy incorporating norms, regardless of their true status, into "concrete treaties and actions." The author begins his discussion by providing a working definition of customary international law. He asserts that such law can be based not just on uniformities of state behavior, as is traditionally held, but also on regularities in behavior. Thus, customary international law can be formed …

Enforcement And The Success Of International Environmental Law, Mary Ellen O'Connell

Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies

Professor O'Connell discusses the tradtional methods used for international law "enforcement," and she argues that international law is generally obeyed Its enforcement is based primarily on compliance, not enforcement. Accordingly, the author argues against using international enforcement mechanisms to enforce international environmental law. Instead, she posits that domestic courts should be used for international environmental law enforcement, however, certain obstacles, such as sovereign immunity, the doctrine of standing, and the principle of forum non conveniens, must be overcome. Professor O'Connell argues that it may be possible to overcome many of these court-made obstacles to enforcing international law through domestic courts. …

International Environmental Law And The "Bottom-Up" Approach: A Review Of The Desertification Convention, Kyle W. Danish

Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies

The media was once filled with images of encroaching deserts and

starving populations. Attention has since shifted to other issues, but

the problems remain. Desertification is acute not only in familiar

desert regions such as the Sahara, but in regions such as the Sahelian

and Other drylands which comprise nearly thirty-five percent of the

earth's total land area. Mr. Danish analyzes the Desertification

Convention of 1995, discussing both the Convention's efforts to

address the environmental degradation and the Convention's impact

on international notions of the state, crafting large-scale responses,

and generating centralized regulation. This Convention employs a

"bottom-up" approach; it …

The Indian Child Welfare Act: Guiding The Determination Of Good Cause To Depart From The Statutory Placement Preferences, Denise L. Stiffarm

Washington Law Review

Since 1978, custody proceedings involving Indian children have been subject to the provisions of the Indian Child Welfare Act. The substantive provisions of the Act set forth placement preferences for state courts to follow when determining adoptive, preadoptive, and foster care placement of Indian children. While the Act directs that the preferences are to be followed in the absence of good cause to the contrary, it does not include a corresponding definition of what constitutes good cause. The result under this vague standard has been a lack of uniformity in state court treatment of the "good cause" determination. This Comment …

Roundtable Discussion, Edgar J. Asebey, Jonathan I. Charney, Christopher C. Joyner, Lee A. Kimball, Catherine Tinker, Daniel W. Simcox

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

Mr. Asebey: I agree with Professor Tinker absolutely about indigenous rights. But one thing we did not focus on very much, and I think is one of the most important aspects of conservation, is not how many species are or are not lost, and what the satisfactorily verifiable data establishes. If you go to Latin American and other developing countries, the people closest to biodiversity are the people who are most impacted by deforestation and some other destructive uses. These people who depend on the forest or the biosystems for their living, for their survival, they are being displaced all …
