Out In Left Field: Cuba's Post-Cold War Strikeout, Berta Esperanza Hernández Truyol Jan 1994

Out In Left Field: Cuba's Post-Cold War Strikeout, Berta Esperanza Hernández Truyol

Fordham International Law Journal

This Article studies the Cuban situation in four parts. First, it reviews whether Cuba actually fits basic expectations of "Third World country" status. As discussed in Part I, the figures of social and human development indicators, as well as economic development figures, reveal that Cuba does not match the definition neatly. Its health, education, and welfare figures rival those of industrial states. Economic development figures, however, paint a completely different picture. Economic considerations certainly permit labelling the island as a "developing country," particularly since the onset of the 1986 recession, as exacerbated by the demise of communism and Cuba's consequent …


Balancing Collective Security And National Sovereignty: Does The United Nations Have The Right To Inspect North Korea's Nuclear Facilities?, Susan Carmody Jan 1994

Balancing Collective Security And National Sovereignty: Does The United Nations Have The Right To Inspect North Korea's Nuclear Facilities?, Susan Carmody

Fordham International Law Journal

This Note examines the legal conflicts in the nuclear nonproliferation regime that developed due to the Agency's attempt to verify North Korea's compliance with the NPT. Part I reviews the history of the nonproliferation regime, as well as the pertinent textual provisions of the IAEA Statute, the NPT, and the North Korean-Agency Safeguards Agreement. Part II reviews the events leading up to North Korea's alleged withdrawal from the NPT and discusses the DPRK's and the Agency's legal arguments concerning North Korea's rights under the regime. Part III argues that the Agency has the right to inspect the DPRK's facilities because: …


The Role And Mechanism Of The Preliminary Ruling Procedure, Carl Otto Lenz Jan 1994

The Role And Mechanism Of The Preliminary Ruling Procedure, Carl Otto Lenz

Fordham International Law Journal

This Article examines the preliminary ruling procedure, by far the most important procedure for legal practitioners and courts. Because Community law, by reason of its supremacy and direct effect, impacts relationships between individuals, Member State courts are asking the Court to decide Community law questions more frequently. Although the law to be applied in these cases is the same in all Member States, there is a potential danger to the functioning of the EC legal system as a whole if the law is not applied uniformly in the Member States. The founding fathers of the Community averted this situation by …


Defining Legitimate Competition: Companies' Duties To Supply Competitors And Access To Essential Facilities, John Temple Lang Jan 1994

Defining Legitimate Competition: Companies' Duties To Supply Competitors And Access To Essential Facilities, John Temple Lang

Fordham International Law Journal

This Article considers the European Community (“Community” or “EC”) antitrust law rules on the duty to supply competitors with important goods or services. It is convenient to begin, in Part I of this Article, by summarizing the relevant Treaty provisions, and the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Communities (the “Court”) and the Commission of the European Communities (the “Commission”) on essential facilities. Part I begins with the less specialized cases, and outlines the Court and Commission cases on telecommunications and performing rights societies, as well as some relevant Community legislation. This provides the basis for …


Marshall Ii: Enhancing The Remedy Available To Individuals For Gender Discrimination In The Ec, Gina L. Ziccolella Jan 1994

Marshall Ii: Enhancing The Remedy Available To Individuals For Gender Discrimination In The Ec, Gina L. Ziccolella

Fordham International Law Journal

This Comment asserts that although the Court of Justice may not have employed well-defined judicial principles, Marshall II nevertheless harmonizes the application of the Equal Treatment Directive in Member State courts. Part I explores how directives are enacted by the Council and enforced by the Court of Justice. In addition, Part I discusses the Equal Treatment Directive, as well as Marshall I , the precursor to Marshall II. Part II sets forth the factual and procedural history of Marshall II and examines the opinion of the Court. Part III argues that the Court of Justice, in Marshall II, engaged in …

Roger J. Finbow & A. Nigel Parr, U.K. Merger Control: Law And Practice, Barry E. Hawk Jan 1994

Roger J. Finbow & A. Nigel Parr, U.K. Merger Control: Law And Practice, Barry E. Hawk

Fordham International Law Journal

The most striking aspect of international antitrust during the last several years has been the extraordinary proliferation of new statutes and strengthened enforcement of competition laws throughout the world. Today the great majority of industrialized and emergent economy countries have antitrust legislation both on the books and in actual practice. Formerly communist countries in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union have enacted antitrust laws as part of their shift to market-oriented economies. Latin American countries have also recently enacted or strengthened their antitrust laws and enforcement. Similarly, antitrust has mushroomed in the Pacific countries, where Japan has gradually been …

Shaw V. Reno: A Mirage Of Good Intentions With Devastating Racial Consquences, A Leon Higginbotham, Jr., Gregory A. Clarick, Marcella David Jan 1994

Shaw V. Reno: A Mirage Of Good Intentions With Devastating Racial Consquences, A Leon Higginbotham, Jr., Gregory A. Clarick, Marcella David

Fordham Law Review

In this Article the authors critically examine the Supreme Court's recent decision in Shaw v. Reno, which held that a North Carolina minority-majority voting district of "dramatically irregular" shape is subject to strict scrutiny, absent sufficient race-neutral explanations for its boundaries. While the authors assert that such race-conscious redistricting will meet the burdens of strict-scrutiny, given the peculiar history of the southern states, they here argue that Shaw is fundamentally flawed. They examine the history of political racism in North Carolina leading up to the 1991 redistricting plan. They then examine the Court's misguided presumptions that race-conscious districting plans are …


In Defense Of Wrongful Life: Bringing Political Theory To The Defense Of A Tort, Michael B. Laudor Jan 1994

In Defense Of Wrongful Life: Bringing Political Theory To The Defense Of A Tort, Michael B. Laudor

Fordham Law Review

In this Article, Post-doctoral Associate Michael Laudor defends the tort of wrongful life as a valuable cause of action by developing a philosophy that addresses issues of intergenerational justice. To do so, he first explores the problems of future interests and analyzes the limitations of both standard and utilitarian concepts of harm. Lauor next considers the legal dilemmas arising from claims that the births of certain children are harmful. Laudor finally constructs a notion of harm that enables courts deciding whether to remedy injuries suffered by future generations to recognize wrongful life as a legitimate cause of action.

Professor Lichentenstein examines the International Monetary Fund's charter, history, and institutional culture. She concludes that it is not a suitable vehicle for funneling the Group of Seven's promised aid to Russia.

The Legal Status Of Gibraltar: Whose Rock Is It Anyway?, Simon J. Lincoln Jan 1994

The Legal Status Of Gibraltar: Whose Rock Is It Anyway?, Simon J. Lincoln

Fordham International Law Journal

This Note argues that the right to self-determination, as expressed in Resolution 1514, empowers the people of Gibraltar with the right to determine their own destiny. Part I discusses the factual and legal background of the dispute over sovereignty of both the City of Gibraltar, as well as the isthmus connecting the city to Spain. Part II explains the British, Spanish, and Gibraltarian claims to the territory, analyzing the relevant U.N. resolutions, agreements and legislation that have defined the respective rights of the three parties. Part III argues that Gibraltar has the right to self-determination and that Great Britain should …


The Foundations Of A New Brazil, J.M. Pinheiro-Neto Jan 1994

The Foundations Of A New Brazil, J.M. Pinheiro-Neto

Fordham International Law Journal

It looks as if Brazil has found herself, finally. To have a law journal such as the Fordham International Law Journal dedicate one of its five yearly issues to a newly-elected president of a Latin American country is homage in itself. The fact that the chosen country is Brazil would have to be considered by the Brazilians as a meritorious decision. Further, to have a man like our new President, Mr. Fernando Henrique Cardoso, as the focus of the Journal's attention is certainly interesting.


State Aid Control In The European Union: Success Or Failure? , Claus-Dieter Ehlermann Jan 1994

State Aid Control In The European Union: Success Or Failure? , Claus-Dieter Ehlermann

Part I gives a background on institutional considerations and makes recommendations for state aid control in the EU. Part II looks at the conditions for restructuring aid and asks if the "One Time, Last Time" Principle is necessay.
