Hybrid Tribunals And The Composition Of The Court: In Search Of Sociological Legitimacy, Harry Hobbs Jun 2015

Hybrid Tribunals And The Composition Of The Court: In Search Of Sociological Legitimacy, Harry Hobbs

Chicago Journal of International Law

Sociological legitimacy is a critical yet undertheorized element of a successful international criminal tribunal. This Article examines the link between sociological legitimacy and the composition of hybrid courts by analyzing the practice of five international criminal tribunals: the ICC, ICTY, ICTR, SCSL, and the ECCC. It finds that the presence of local judges on international criminal courts offers a firmer normative basis for enhancing their legitimacy among the local community. However, the Article also finds that despite impressive scholarly efforts to demystify the “homogenous” international community, international judges are not sufficiently particularized. The solution I offer is both principled and …


Impossible To Regulate: Social Media, Terrorists, And The Role For The U.N., Paulina Wu Jun 2015

Impossible To Regulate: Social Media, Terrorists, And The Role For The U.N., Paulina Wu

Chicago Journal of International Law

The posting of journalist beheadings online and the arrests of numerous nationals attempting to join terrorist organizations have shown that terrorists are increasingly using social media to spread ideology and recruit members. The popularity of social media around the world provides a huge potential audience for terrorist content. Unfortunately, because of states' inability to cooperate, previous attempts to govern and police the Internet have failed. Any regulation of the Internet or social media also raises collective action problems and baseline definition issues. The U.N. is not in the position to pass a binding treaty or convention because use of social …


An Efficient Anticorruption Sanctions Regime? The Case Of The World Bank, Tina Søreide, Linda Gröning, Rasmus Wandall Jun 2015

An Efficient Anticorruption Sanctions Regime? The Case Of The World Bank, Tina Søreide, Linda Gröning, Rasmus Wandall

Chicago Journal of International Law

With its sanctions regime, the World Bank has sent a clear message to client governments and suppliers that it will not tolerate corruption. However, as this Article argues, with its present design, the sanctions regime at the same time runs counter to the World Bank’s own development agenda. Thus, the regime will have limited effect in protecting funds for development, reducing corruption risks, promoting the integrity and functionality of markets, and strengthening domestic law enforcement institutions. A key problem is that efforts to strengthen law enforcement at the national level are too limited. The sanctions primarily target private suppliers, while …

Second-Order Regulation Of Law Enforcement, John Rappaport

This Article interrogates a critical, yet understudied, regulatory design choice the Supreme Court makes in each criminal case raising constitutional questions about law-enforcement conduct: not what the Constitution requires but how to implement its requ

Normativity For Naturalists, Brian Leiter Apr 2015

Normativity For Naturalists, Brian Leiter

Public Law and Legal Theory Working Papers

Normativity is thought to be a problem for naturalists because the explanatory modalities of the empirical sciences do not make any reference to deontic or normative properties related to reasons, as distinct from nomic or descriptive ones. Naturalistic e

Punitive Police? Agency Costs, Law Enforcement, And Criminal Procedure, Richard H. Mcadams, Dhammika Dharmapala, Nuno Garoupa

Coase-Sandor Institute for Law & Economics Research Paper Series

Criminal law enforcement depends on the actions of public agents such as police officers, but there is no standard economic model of police as public agents. We seek to remedy this deficiency by offering an agency model of police behavior. We begin by exp

Judicial Independence And The Rationing Of Constitutional Remedies, Aziz Huq Mar 2015

Judicial Independence And The Rationing Of Constitutional Remedies, Aziz Huq

Public Law and Legal Theory Working Papers

This Article analyzes the doctrinal instruments federal courts use to allocate scarce adjudicative resources over competing demands for constitutional remedies. It advances two claims. The first is that a central, hitherto underappreciated, doctrinal instrument for rationing judicial resources is a demand that most constitutional claimants demonstrate that an official violated an exceptionally clear, unambiguous constitutional rule—that is, not only that the Constitution was violated, but that the violation evinced a demanding species of fault. This fault rule first emerged in constitutional tort jurisprudence. It has diffused to the suppression and postconviction review contexts. The Article’s second claim is that …

How The Fourth Amendment And The Separation Of Powers Rise (And Fall) Together, Aziz Z. Huq Jan 2015

How The Fourth Amendment And The Separation Of Powers Rise (And Fall) Together, Aziz Z. Huq

University of Chicago Law Review

This Essay explores an entanglement of ends and means between two seem-ingly disparate parts of the Constitution: the Fourth Amendment and the separation of powers. Not only do these two elements of the Constitution share a common ambition; they are also intertwined in practical operation. The vindication of Fourth Amendment interests, however defined, depends on a measure of institutional differentiation between the branches of government. That predicate, however, has eroded over time. In its absence, difficult questions arise about how Fourth Amendment values are best implemented and whether their realization will in the end hinge on private rather than on …
