Reactions To Opression: Jurisgenesis In The Jurispathic State, John Valery White Jan 1991

Reactions To Opression: Jurisgenesis In The Jurispathic State, John Valery White

Scholarly Works

This Note offers a model for analyzing the political and legal traditions of oppressed communities and developing a jurisprudence that accurately reflects the communities' views. Under this model, each of these diverse views can be understood from one of four perspectives: parochialism, fatalism, neo-liberalism, and individualism. These four perspectives are defined by an oppressed community's members' aspirations for liberation. Different ideals of justice and liberation underlie each perspective. Though touching on some of the communities' sentiments, the examinations of scholars of color have thus far been largely piecemeal, overemphasizing certain views, unwittingly combining divergent views, or marginalizing and dismissing unpopular …

Developing A Standard For Politically Related State Economic Action, Clinton E. Cameron Jan 1991

Developing A Standard For Politically Related State Economic Action, Clinton E. Cameron

Michigan Journal of International Law

This Note will give an analysis of the scholarship that has appeared in this field, as well as the actual practice of States, to determine if any fixed rules have been established in this area, and if so, what they are. It will do so by looking at the debates that have taken place concerning the application of the language and underlying principles of the U.N. Charter in order to see if these norms of State action prohibit economic diplomacy. The Note will then look to the actual practice of States to determine whether it provides adequate evidence of opinion …


Oil In The Persian Gulf War: Legal Appraisal Of An Environmental Warfare., Margaret T. Okorodudu-Fubara Jan 1991

Oil In The Persian Gulf War: Legal Appraisal Of An Environmental Warfare., Margaret T. Okorodudu-Fubara

St. Mary's Law Journal

Oil, modern history’s most “powerful” natural economic resource stood at the epicenter of the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait and became the latest unconventional weapon of warfare. The objective of this Article is to assess the legal implications of this recent environmental warfare involving the “oil weapon,” the first of its kind in recorded history. The experiences from national and international wars demonstrate one sure victim of wars, even barring human losses, is the environment. The delicacy of mankind’s planetary ecosystem necessitates urgency addressed to protecting the environment in the international struggle for arms control and disarmament agreement. This Article indicates …


Carrying A Big Carrot: Linking Multilateral Disarmament And Development Assistance, David A. Koplow, Philip G. Schrag Jan 1991

Carrying A Big Carrot: Linking Multilateral Disarmament And Development Assistance, David A. Koplow, Philip G. Schrag

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

This article proposes, as a new element of the "liberal internationalism" that should characterize the post-Cold War world, a simultaneous solution to these three problems. The nations of the world should negotiate a series of multilateral agreements to stop the spread of advanced weaponry, and include in each of them, as an overt incentive for developing states to accept the disarmament and verification obligations, provisions that explicitly require the affluent, developed states to make specified monetary and in-kind transfers to the third world parties. The new regime should also provide stronger-than-customary treaty procedures for clarifying ambiguities, adjudicating claims, and resolving …


Immigration And Naturalization Service V. Elias-Zacarias: A Departure From The Past, Bret I. Parker Jan 1991

Immigration And Naturalization Service V. Elias-Zacarias: A Departure From The Past, Bret I. Parker

Fordham International Law Journal

This Comment argues that the standards enunciated by the Supreme Court in Elias-Zacarias should not be applied beyond cases involving persecution on account of political opinion. Part I sets out the relevant statutes, treaties, and international documents that control U.S. asylum law. Part II describes the majority and dissenting opinions in Elias-Zacarias. Part III analyzes the Supreme Court's decision in Elias-Zacarias and argues that the decision was misguided in its approach. This Comment concludes that Elias-Zacarias should be limited in its future application so that the United States can maintain its compliance with international treaty obligations.

Burning Of The Kuwaiti Oilfields And The Laws Of War, Rex J. Zedalis Jan 1991

Burning Of The Kuwaiti Oilfields And The Laws Of War, Rex J. Zedalis

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

In this Article, the author addresses the question of whether Iraq's destruction of Kuwaiti oil fields constitutes a violation of the laws of war, particularly with respect to article 53 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, known as the Civilians Convention. After an introductory section evaluating the amount and nature of destruction suffered by the Kuwaiti oil industry, the author discusses whether article 53 covers destruction of state-owned oil fields. Although the specific language of the article appears to favor coverage, the history behind article 53 suggests that it protects property of a sort different than the state-owned property destroyed by …


Re-Evaluating The Status Of Flags Of Convenience Under International Law, David F. Matlin Jan 1991

Re-Evaluating The Status Of Flags Of Convenience Under International Law, David F. Matlin

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

This Note re-examines the role and status of flags of convenience in the international shipping arena. The author argues that universal condemnation of flags of convenience or open ship registration is unwarranted from legal and factual standpoints. The Note first examines the significance of ship nationality as a means of regulating conduct on ships when at sea or in foreign ports. This analysis leads into an examination of the methods states use to ascribe nationality to vessels. The author then analyzes attempts to impose "genuine link" requirements in several conventions and questions whether such requirements are legitimate under customary international …


What's Left?, Guyora Binder Jan 1991

What's Left?, Guyora Binder

Journal Articles

Addressing the future of radical politics at the end of the cold war, this article offers a reconstruction of radical theory around the goal of enabling collaborative self-realization through participatory democratic politics. It offers an interpretation of the radical tradition as defined by a view of human nature as a cultural artifact, and a conception of liberation as the self-conscious transformation of human nature. It proceeds to critique radical theory’s traditional focus on revolution as the means of radical transformation. Distinguishing instrumental and self-expressive conceptions of transformation it critiques revolutionary processes as tending to reproduce instrumental culture. It offers democratic …
