The New Imperialism: Violence, Norms, And The "Rule Of Law", Rosa Ehrenreich Brooks

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

The goal of this Article is to participate in the challenging project of carving out a new area of study in the place where international law, comparative law, and domestic law intersect. In this Article, I use the story of flawed rule-of-law assistance efforts to demonstrate the importance of this inquiry. I take as a basic premise that there are many situations in which it is justifiable and beneficial for the U.S. and other actors to seek to promote human rights and the rule of law abroad, and that at times even military interventions are a necessary and justifiable part …

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 …

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.

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 …

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 …
