If You See Something Wrong: The Life And Work Of Raya Kadyrova Of Kyrgyzstan, Kaitlin Barker

Kroc IPJ Research and Resources

Women on the frontline of efforts to end violence and secure a just peace seldom record their experiences, activities and insights – as generally there is no time or, perhaps, they do not have formal education that would help them record their stories. The Women PeaceMakers Program is a selective program for leaders who want to document, share and build upon their unique peacemaking stories. Selected peacemakers join the IPJ for an eight-week residency.

Women PeaceMakers are paired with a Peace Writer to document in written form their story of living in conflict and building peace in their communities and …

Judicial Activism Of The Shari'ah Appeals Court In Israel (1994 - 2001): Rise And Crisis, Dr. Moussa Abou Ramadan

Fordham International Law Journal

The main thesis of this Article is that after 1994, with the nomination of new qadis to the Shari‘ah Court, a process of judicial activism began, which continues until this day. This process has been characterized by the qadis' attempts to strengthen the position of the Shari‘ah Appeals Court. In some fields the qadis' activism has been more successful than in others. Recently however, it seems that the Shari‘ah system is undergoing a crisis. The author will analyze the actions of the Shari‘ah Appeals Court on several parallel levels: (1) the strengthening of its position compared with those of the …

Trade, Democracy, And The Ftaa: Public Access To The Process Of Constructing A Free Trade Area Of The Americas, Eric Dannenmaier

Fordham International Law Journal

The Article concentrates on access for non-profit or "public interest" elements of civil society rather than for-profit business interests, because public interest organizations have been more marginalized from the FTAA, and their interests are more diffuse and conflicting - rendering their integration more problematic. It also concentrates on the multilateral process in the context of Ministerial meetings rather than trade policymaking at a national level because of the symbolic value attached to meetings of ministers, and the unique opportunities for public dialogue offered by these high-level meetings.

Fordham International Law Journal

Sustainable Development In The Negotiation Of The Ftaa, Marie-Claire Cordonier Segger

Fordham International Law Journal

First, I will briefly explain what is meant by hemispheric sustainable development law. Then, I will discuss the current progress of the FTAA from a sustainable development law perspective. To illustrate the links between trade liberalization, social and environmental law and policy in the Americas, I will briefly highlight potential social and environmental impacts and opportunities in several important areas of negotiations: services, intellectual property rights, competition law, government procurement and investment. (The directions of agricultural liberalization, market access and subsidies are also crucial to sustainable development, but are too extensive to discuss here). Then, I will consider the institutional …

The Just War Ethic In International Law, Joseph C. Sweeney

Fordham International Law Journal

To the student and practitioner of international law in the twenty-first century, the just war ethic is clearly part of Moral Theology--binding the consciences of ethical people everywhere --but it is not part of international law. Nevertheless, there is today a lingering flavor of the Just War Ethic in debates about issues that are partly moral and partly political, such as: 1. the testing and use of nuclear weapons; 2. combating terrorism; and 3. humanitarian intervention to save lives and the human environment. None of these activities is authorized expressly in the United Nations Charter. What is an unjust war …

No Recourse: Transnational Corporations And The Protection Of Economic, Social, And Cultural Rights In Bolivia , Maria Mcfarland Sánchez-Moreno, Tracy Higgins

Fordham International Law Journal

This Report analyzes two cases in which TNC activities have had an impact on Bolivian citizens' enjoyment of economic, social, and cultural rights (“ESC rights”). In so doing, it analyzes not only corporate conduct but also the Bolivian government's role in protecting ESC rights from violation. The cases involve an oil spill by Transredes, a TNC partly owned by Enron and Shell, in Bolivia's Desaguadero River, which affected over one hundred indigenous communities; and the water war that took place in the city of Cochabamba over the privatization of Cochabamba's water system and its operation by the consortium Aguas del …

Two Roads Diverged In A Yellow Wood: The European Community Stays On The Path To Strict Liability, Josephine Liu

Fordham International Law Journal

Part I of this Note will briefly outline Community policy on product liability as detailed by the Product Liability Directive, then review the development of product liability law in various Member States of the European Community. Part II will analyze how the concept of state-of-the-art highlighted tensions between a strict liability regime and a negligence regime in U.S. product liability. It will then review similar discord in the European Community caused by the development risk defense. Finally, Part III of this Note will argue that in contrast to the United States, the European Community has thus far chosen to stay …
