Human Rights In Theory And Practice: A Review Of On Human Rights, Ronald C. Slye Jan 1994

Human Rights In Theory And Practice: A Review Of On Human Rights, Ronald C. Slye

Fordham International Law Journal

One of the most important issues facing the international human rights movement is the claim that human rights values are universal and not culturally specific, and thus can be used to understand, evaluate, and influence global actors. This claim has obvious political and philosophical dimensions. That the concept of international human rights is being taken seriously by both governmental and nongovernmental actors is a sign of the importance of human rights today. The number of countries ratifying the basic international human rights treaties has reached an all-time high. Nevertheless, current events are drawing into question the universality and efficacy of …


Derrick Wyatt & Alan Dashwood, European Community Law, Laurence W. Gormley Jan 1994

Derrick Wyatt & Alan Dashwood, European Community Law, Laurence W. Gormley

Fordham International Law Journal

Despite the fact that the book's coverage of institutional and administrative EC law is not detailed enough to qualify it as the sole textbook for a general course, Wyatt & Dashwood must continue to form a standard part of any comprehensive reading list in undergraduate and postgraduate courses. However, recourse to Hartley, at least on the recommended list, will still be necessary. Despite this, Wyatt & Dashwood remains an excellent and practical selection for a substantive law course. Yet, Weatherill & Beaumont is more modern in its approach. Their wine has a different bouquet and taste, regarding both its discussion …


Subsidiarity And Soverignty In The European Union, Paul D. Marquardt Jan 1994

Subsidiarity And Soverignty In The European Union, Paul D. Marquardt

Fordham International Law Journal

The institutional quick fix may support the nation-state in the short run, but the underlying logic of subsidiarty reduces the claim of rightful governance to a technocratic question of functional efficiency that will eventually undercut the nation-state's claims to loyalty. In reaching this conclusion, this Article first explores the origins and underpinnings of the doctrine of subsidiarity. Second, it examines the application of subsidiarity to the European Community. Finally, it examines the compatibility of the principles developed with today's understanding of sovereignty in Western Europe.

Forced Prostitution: Naming An International Offense, Nora V. Demleitner Jan 1994

Forced Prostitution: Naming An International Offense, Nora V. Demleitner

Fordham International Law Journal

This paper presents an argument for recognizing "forced prostitution" as an international offense in its own right for which the procurers, brothel owners and managers, and financiers as well as the women's customers can be held criminally liable. While the international debate has attempted to characterize forced prostitution as slavery, the term "slavery" fails to evoke the images of all the violations that encompass forced prostitution. Were the United Nations and regional organizations to acknowledge and label forced prostitution as an international crime, their member states would be required to enact domestic legislation outlawing and criminalizing it as well as …

Gender, Crime, And The Criminal Law Defenses, Deborah W. Denno Jan 1994

Gender, Crime, And The Criminal Law Defenses, Deborah W. Denno

Faculty Scholarship

This Article attempts to explain some of the disparity in criminality between males and females by analyzing the results of the “Biosocial Study,” one of this country's largest longitudinal studies of biological, psychological, and sociological predictors of crime. Section II analyzes the literature and research on gender differences in crime. Section III describes the Biosocial Study and its results, noting the gender differences in the prevalence and prediction of crime and the inability of any one factor to be a strong predictor of crime. Section IV considers whether gender differences warrant disparate types of punishment or treatment within the criminal …

Setting Standards For Fair Information Practice In The U.S. Private Sector, Joel R. Reidenberg Jan 1994

Setting Standards For Fair Information Practice In The U.S. Private Sector, Joel R. Reidenberg

Faculty Scholarship

The confluence of plans for an Information Superhighway, actual industry self-regulatory practices, and international pressure dictate renewed consideration of standard setting for fair information practices in the U.S. private sector. The legal rules, industry norms, and business practices that regulate the treatment of personal information in the United States are organized in a wide and dispersed manner. This Article analyzes how these standards are established in the U.S. private sector. Part I argues that the U.S. standards derive from the influence of American political philosophy on legal rule making and a preference for dispersed sources of information standards. Part II …


Is Electrocution An Unconstitutional Method Of Execution? The Engineering Of Death Over The Century, Deborah W. Denno Jan 1994

Is Electrocution An Unconstitutional Method Of Execution? The Engineering Of Death Over The Century, Deborah W. Denno

Faculty Scholarship

This Article provides the Eighth Amendment analysis of electrocution that the courts thus far have not approached. The analysis has two parts. The first inquires whether, according to available scientific evidence, electrocution amounts to cruel and unusual punishment even if it is administered as planned. The second inquires whether, in light of the frequency with which electrocutions are botched, continuing the practice amounts to cruel and unusual punishment even if the properly administered electrocution would not.


Product Definition, Product Information, And Market Power: Kodak In Perspective, Mark R. Patterson Jan 1994

Product Definition, Product Information, And Market Power: Kodak In Perspective, Mark R. Patterson

Faculty Scholarship

In Eastman Kodak Co. v. Image Technical Services, Inc., product information, market costs, market information the United States Supreme Court held that market power sufficient to impose an illegal tying arrangement can, at least in theory, derive from buyers' uncertainty regarding a product's costs and quality. Although commentators disagree on the implications of the Kodak decision, all seem to agree that the opinion's emphasis on product information costs is a departure from previously accepted economic analysis of antitrust law. In this Article, Mark R. Patterson argues that the Kodak decision is, in fact, economically reasonable, incorporating into antitrust law previously …


By Reason Of Their Sex: Feminist Theory Postmodernism And Justice , Tracy E. Higgins Jan 1994

By Reason Of Their Sex: Feminist Theory Postmodernism And Justice , Tracy E. Higgins

Faculty Scholarship

Both the Supreme Court's jurisprudence of gender and feminist legal theory have generally assumed that some identifiable and describable category of woman exists prior to the construction of legal categories. For the Court, this woman-whose characteristics admittedly have changed over time-serves as the standard against which gendered legal classifications are measured. For feminism, her existence has served a different but equally important purpose as the subject for whom political goals are pursued. To the extent that the definitions of the category diverge, the differences among definitions are played out in feminist critiques of the Court's gender jurisprudence, and, occasionally, in …


Purposeful Approach To Products Liability Warnings And Non-English-Speaking Consumers Notes, Thomas H. Lee Jan 1994

Purposeful Approach To Products Liability Warnings And Non-English-Speaking Consumers Notes, Thomas H. Lee

Faculty Scholarship

This Note examines the problems associated with the duty-towarn doctrine and the non-English-speaking consumer or product user. Part II explains the current duty-to-warn doctrine, emphasizing when a warning is required, to whom the warning must be directed, and how the warning must be given. Next, Part III examines state and federal language-specific statutes, constitutional provisions, and case holdings, emphasizing the most recent cases addressing product warning requirements for non-English-speaking plaintiffs. Part IV then outlines the risks to both product sellers and consumers of continuing the current haphazard approach and suggests a statutory solution to the doctrinal confusion, drawing from the …
