Lulucf Is More Than A Mouthful: How The United States Could Implement The European Union’S Land Use, Land-Use Change, And Forestry Policy To Help Fight Against The Us Agricultural Lobby And Fight Climate Change, Isabella Neihardt Jun 2025

Lulucf Is More Than A Mouthful: How The United States Could Implement The European Union’S Land Use, Land-Use Change, And Forestry Policy To Help Fight Against The Us Agricultural Lobby And Fight Climate Change, Isabella Neihardt

Brooklyn Journal of International Law

Climate change is this generation’s defining issue, and one that has passed the point of requiring critical attention and response. Agriculture is a major contributor to anthropogenic global warming, but it has largely evaded environmental regulation in the United States (US) due to “agricultural exceptionalism” and a powerful agricultural lobby. Activities in the land use, land-use change, and forestry (“LULUCF”) sector can effectively offset carbon dioxide equivalent emissions from agricultural activities through a process known as a “carbon sink.” In the European Union (EU), the agricultural sector is already regulated through Regulation (EU) 2023/839, the first LULUCF regulation of its …


Competition In The Global Law Market: Offshore Development Of The Statutory "Rule In Hastings-Bass", Andrew P. Morriss Jun 2025

Competition In The Global Law Market: Offshore Development Of The Statutory "Rule In Hastings-Bass", Andrew P. Morriss

Minnesota Journal of International Law, Vols. 28:2 onward (2019-present)

This Article examines the competitive dynamics in the global law market through the lens of the statutory evolution of the Rule in Hastings-Bass across various International Financial Centers (IFCs). Following the UK Supreme Court’s 2013 decision in Pitt v Holt and Futter v Futter, which significantly restricted the judiciary’s ability to void trustee decisions under the Rule, seven IFCs (Jersey, Bermuda, The Bahamas, the Dubai International Financial Center, the Cayman Islands, and the British Virgin Islands) enacted statutes to preserve and clarify the Rule within their jurisdictions. These legislative actions highlight the strategic adaptations by IFCs to enhance their legal …


International Abolitionist Advocacy: The Rise Of Global Networks To Advance Human Rights And The Promise Of The Worldwise Campaign To Abolish Capital Punishment, John D. Bessler Jun 2025

International Abolitionist Advocacy: The Rise Of Global Networks To Advance Human Rights And The Promise Of The Worldwise Campaign To Abolish Capital Punishment, John D. Bessler

Minnesota Journal of International Law, Vols. 28:2 onward (2019-present)

The modern international human rights movement began with the U.N. Charter and the U.N. General Assembly’s adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Although the movement to abolish the death penalty is rooted in the Enlightenment, global advocacy to halt executions and to abolish capital punishment has accelerated exponentially in recent decades. This Article discusses the origins of global networks to advance human rights and highlights the growing international advocacy, including by nation-states and nongovernmental organizations (“NGOs”), for a worldwide moratorium on executions and to abolish capital punishment altogether. The total number of countries conducting executions in the past …

And They Would Have Gotten Away With It, If Not For Those Meddling Federales: Examining State Responses To Transnational Organized Crime And Developing A Policy Framework, Aaron Lutz Jun 2025

And They Would Have Gotten Away With It, If Not For Those Meddling Federales: Examining State Responses To Transnational Organized Crime And Developing A Policy Framework, Aaron Lutz

Minnesota Journal of International Law, Vols. 28:2 onward (2019-present)

Transnational criminal organizations (TCOs) have begun expanding their enterprise into criminal gold mining in South America. This is causing widespread harm from human trafficking, pollution, and disease. These groups exploit vulnerable artisanal miners (ASMs) to provide a foothold in the gold mining industry and avoid the reach of states. This note examines the policy responses that South American countries have taken to this phenomenon and develops a policy framework for state actors moving against TCOs.


The End Of The Khmer Rouge Tribunal: Its Success And Legacy, Choongman Lee Jun 2025

The End Of The Khmer Rouge Tribunal: Its Success And Legacy, Choongman Lee

Minnesota Journal of International Law, Vols. 28:2 onward (2019-present)

This note critically examines the effectiveness of the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (“ECCC”), in achieving justice against members of the Democratic Kampuchea, also known as the Khmer Rouge, and explores areas where the ECCC could influence international criminal law in the future. The analysis explores the structural flaws, political interference, and challenges faced by the ECCC, particularly in Cases 003 and 004. Despite these challenges, the court successfully convicted three individuals in Cases 001 and 002, providing a degree of justice for victims. Also, the ECCC’s unique features, such as the super-majority rule, victim-centered approach, and residual …


Regulating Misdemeanors In China, Enshen Li Jun 2025

Regulating Misdemeanors In China, Enshen Li

Brooklyn Journal of International Law

China has arguably entered an era of misdemeanors. Perceived as offenses punishable by a sentence of three years’ imprisonment or less, misdemeanors have reportedly taken up the majority of criminality in China over the past two decades. This shift in criminal dynamics has precipitated a pressing need for structural changes in the state’s criminal legal system, with calls for reform oriented toward decriminalization as a tailored dispositional channel for petty offenders showing a lower level of criminal culpability. This Article offers a critical scrutiny of China’s prevailing decriminalization initiatives for reducing the penalties and collateral consequences of misdemeanors. Situating these …


Questioning Us Immigration Law Compliance With Treaties For Trade And Investment, William Thomas Worster Jun 2025

Questioning Us Immigration Law Compliance With Treaties For Trade And Investment, William Thomas Worster

Brooklyn Journal of International Law

This Article examines the extent to which US immigration law complies with the United States’ treaty obligations to admit qualifying foreign nationals as treaty traders (E-1) or treaty investors (E-2). These immigration categories are grounded in international agreements—specifically Friendship, Commerce and Navigation treaties (FCNs), Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs), and Free Trade Agreements (FTAs)—that commit the United States to grant entry to certain foreign individuals and enterprises for the purposes of trade or investment. Although each treaty includes specifically tailored terms and conditions, US immigration regulations apply a single, harmonized set of regulations that often diverge from the treaty texts. This …


Sovereign Immunity And International Arbitration In China: One Step Forward, Two Steps Back, And Three Steps Forward Again, Ylli Dautaj Jun 2025

Sovereign Immunity And International Arbitration In China: One Step Forward, Two Steps Back, And Three Steps Forward Again, Ylli Dautaj

Brooklyn Journal of International Law

Investment treaty arbitration (ITA), like any other dispute resolution regime, must guarantee the quality if its means as well as offering effective sanctioning of its ends. Thus, any obstacle with respect to post-award proceedings should be dealt with seriously. Due to sovereign immunity, the enforcement against an award-debtor State is more difficult than against a private party. Courts in various jurisdictions have battled with sovereign immunity for many years now and many issues remain outstanding nevertheless. It is for these reasons that sovereign immunity from execution has been said to represent “the last fortress, the last bastion of State immunity.” …


Visa To Stay: Immigration Reform For International Students In The United States: From Contractual Limits To Affiliation-Based Opportunities, Jeanette Subkhanberdina Jun 2025

Visa To Stay: Immigration Reform For International Students In The United States: From Contractual Limits To Affiliation-Based Opportunities, Jeanette Subkhanberdina

Brooklyn Journal of International Law

International student mobility is a vehicle of globalization in today’s world, with a significant rise in students pursuing higher education abroad over the past two decades, reaching approximately 6.9 million globally. Regardless of personal motivations, the decision to study abroad rests in a careful evaluation of whether long-term rewards outweigh the short-term sacrifices these students make. For students looking to build a professional foundation and immerse themselves in the culture of the country in which they study, few long-term rewards are more appealing than having their student visas serve as a pathway to permanent residency. Determining who may be granted …


Funding Repression: How The Eu Migration Agreements With Libya And Tunisia Circumvent Non-Refoulement And Enable Human Rights Violations, Emma Soltis Jun 2025

Funding Repression: How The Eu Migration Agreements With Libya And Tunisia Circumvent Non-Refoulement And Enable Human Rights Violations, Emma Soltis

Brooklyn Journal of International Law

In 2023, the European Union and Tunisia entered into a Memorandum of Understanding, which outlined cooperation between the parties on several issues, including migration and mobility. Consistent with the European Union’s broader externalization agenda, the Memorandum of Understanding primarily allocates monetary and technical support to Tunisia and its authorities for migration management. In particular, Tunisian authorities are enabled to patrol the coast and intercept migrants and refugees attempting to irregularly migrate from North Africa to Europe across the Mediterranean Sea. The European Union sponsored a similar Memorandum of Understanding between Italy and Libya in 2017. Critics have widely denounced the …


The Starving Artist: What The Us Can Learn From Dutch Artist-Focused Legislation About Equitable Remuneration For Musical Creators, Natalia Perez-Flores Jun 2025

The Starving Artist: What The Us Can Learn From Dutch Artist-Focused Legislation About Equitable Remuneration For Musical Creators, Natalia Perez-Flores

Brooklyn Journal of International Law

The United States (US) is the “leader in [the] creation, distribution, and worldwide licensing of recorded music.” Despite this, the US fails to afford moral rights protections to musical creators. Unlike economic rights, moral rights are not primarily concerned with the economic exploitation of art and instead protect the personal and reputational value of a work. Legislative justifications for copyright protection in the US include providing adequate rewards and appropriate incentives for artistic creation. To accomplish this, copyright law must protect authors’ personal expression, or moral rights, as much as it protects authors’ financial compensation, or economic rights. By focusing …


Beyond Statutory Loopholes, Qualified Immunity, And Internal Investigations: A Comparative Analysis Of Police Accountability In The United States And The United Kingdom, Kevyn Mcconlogue Jun 2025

Beyond Statutory Loopholes, Qualified Immunity, And Internal Investigations: A Comparative Analysis Of Police Accountability In The United States And The United Kingdom, Kevyn Mcconlogue

Brooklyn Journal of International Law

While the landscape of policing in the United States and United Kingdom appear different today, their shared roots of enslavement and racism fostered a culture of impunity for police officers in both countries. With community skepticism and public discontent with law enforcement continuing to rise in the United States, the investigative and procedural roadblocks in the way of holding police officers accountable for misconduct must come to an end. In an effort to facilitate conversations about progressive police reform and eventual abolition, this Note compares the modern American and British police accountability systems and the avenues through which victims of …
