The Latin-American Flavor Of Enforced Disappearances, Ariel E. Dulitzky Feb 2019

The Latin-American Flavor Of Enforced Disappearances, Ariel E. Dulitzky

Chicago Journal of International Law

Enforced disappearances occur when persons are deprived of their liberty by state officials, organized groups, or private individuals acting on behalf of, or with the support, direct or indirect, consent, or acquiescence of the government. The deprivation of liberty is followed by a refusal to disclose the fate or whereabouts of the persons concerned or a refusal to acknowledge the deprivation of their liberty. Consequently, such persons are placed outside the protection of the law. As such, the crime and the human rights violation of enforced disappearance comprise many different types of state repression. Given this multiplicity of scenarios in …


Striking A Grotian Moment: How The Syria Airstrikes Changed International Law Relating To Humanitarian Intervention, Michael P. Scharf Feb 2019

Striking A Grotian Moment: How The Syria Airstrikes Changed International Law Relating To Humanitarian Intervention, Michael P. Scharf

Chicago Journal of International Law

In the years since the 1999 North Atlantic Treaty Organization airstrikes on Serbia to prevent ethnic cleansing of the Kosovar Albanians, international law has been moving in fits and starts toward recognition of a limited right of humanitarian intervention in the absence of United Nations Security Council approval. But all the ingredients necessary for the crystallization of customary international law were not present until the April 14, 2018 United States/French/United Kingdom airstrikes on Syrian chemical weapons facilities. This Article examines the distinctive circumstances of the April 2018 airstrikes, including the context of a crisis of historic proportions, the focus on …


Regulation Of Initial Coin Offerings: Reconciling U.S. And E.U. Securities Laws, Philipp Maume, Mathias Fromberger Feb 2019

Regulation Of Initial Coin Offerings: Reconciling U.S. And E.U. Securities Laws, Philipp Maume, Mathias Fromberger

Chicago Journal of International Law

In 2016, when Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) were first introduced, financial markets, scholars, and entrepreneurs were captivated by the opportunities and challenges the technology offered. ICOs quickly became one of the hottest topics in the financial markets. They typically use blockchain technology to offer so-called “tokens” that can confer various rights to their holders. The amount of money raised via ICOs has reached $27 billion by the end of 2018. Commentators have described the ICO bonanza as a new gold rush. Nevertheless, the legal framework for ICOs remains unclear because traditional securities regulation is designed for classical securities that are …


Turning In The Widening Gyre: History, Corporate Accountability, And Transitional Justice In The Postcolony, Jeffrey Atteberry Feb 2019

Turning In The Widening Gyre: History, Corporate Accountability, And Transitional Justice In The Postcolony, Jeffrey Atteberry

Chicago Journal of International Law

This Article argues that transitional justice, by increasing efforts to include corporate accountability within its various mechanisms, may confront the global structures of rule that systematically produce conditions of violence within formerly colonized nation-states. Building on work by Giorgio Agamben and Homi Bhabha, I demonstrate that the very notion of a “transition” around which transitional justice is articulated derives from a nineteenth-century understanding of history that reflects the ideology of development which supported the colonial system. Moments of violent historical discontinuity, legally conceptualized as “states of exception,” provide the paradigmatic bases for models of transitional justice. But, in the history …

Human Rights Implications Of Global Surrogacy, University Of Chicago Law School - Global Human Rights Clinic Jan 2019

Human Rights Implications Of Global Surrogacy, University Of Chicago Law School - Global Human Rights Clinic

Global Human Rights Clinic

The growth of the gestational surrogacy industry in the last few decades has raised concerns about the human rights of the parties involved. Partly due to those concerns, several of the countries where surrogacy was once widespread have recently prohibited the practice. Yet the human rights implications of surrogacy are highly complex, and it is far from clear that a global surrogacy prohibition is the best or even most feasible way to address rights concerns. This report aims to advance an understanding of the human rights impact of laws, policies and practices around surrogacy. The report considers the practice of …

Constitutional Tinkering And Democratic Institutions: A Case Study Of The 2019 Electoral Process, Kamara Nwosu

International Program Papers

This paper will discuss the aspects of constitutional tinkering and its impact on democratic institutions by looking into the constitutional tinkering in the Nigerian constitution and its impact on democratic institutions focusing mainly on the electoral system. As a caveat, this paper focuses on the electoral process within an electoral system and not the methods by which election systems are determined. Thus, the paper focuses on the administration of elections and not the system by which votes are to be cast such as plurality method, approval voting or simple majority vote.
