Article 3 Of Interpol's Constitution: Balancing International Police Cooperation With The Prohibition On Engaging In Political, Military, Religious, Or Racial Activities, Yaron Gottlieb

Florida Journal of International Law

This Article aims to analyze the developments concerning the application of Article 3, and the various considerations pertinent to its interpretation. While Article 3 applies to all INTERPOL activities, in practice it has been particularly relevant to INTERPOL’s activities in two domains: first, in the field of processing of information related to police work via INTERPOL’s channels; and secondly, in the context of cooperation with other international entities. This Article will therefore focus on the application of Article 3 and the different tests applied in these two domains.

Keeping Dealers Off The Docket: The Perils Of Prosecuting Serious Drug-Related Offences At The International Criminal Court, Johan David Michels

Florida Journal of International Law

This Essay argues against the inclusion of serious drug-related offences within the ICC’s subject-matter jurisdiction. Firstly, the conduct does not violate internationally recognized human rights. Secondly, States may legitimately strive to legalize the trade in currently prohibited drugs. Thirdly, the extension of ICC jurisdiction may be less effective in combating the international drug trade than others have argued.

Legal Ramifications Of The War In Gaza, Johan D. Van Der Vyver

Florida Journal of International Law

The purpose of this Article is to highlight the major rules of international (humanitarian) law that have been implicated by the war in Gaza. Needless to say, when applying those rules of law to the empirical facts, and indeed in attempting to evaluate the claims and disclaimers on both sides of the offensive, the issues at stake are extremely complicated. Nor perhaps is the one-sided and almost exclusive condemnation of the Israeli offensive entirely warranted; that is, if the militant actions of Hamas is measured, objectively, against the applicable rules of international humanitarian law.

Regional Approach To Transitional Justice? Examining The Special Court For Sierra Leone And The Truth & Reconciliation Commission For Liberia, Matiangai Sirleaf

Florida Journal of International Law

This Article re-conceptualizes the idea of transitional justice mechanisms as varying approaches meant solely to address the legacy of abuse in one nation, and proposes that transitional justice mechanisms can also encompass regional and transnational efforts to respond to mass human rights violations occurring across societies. This Article focuses on the challenges posed by trials and truth seeking mechanisms in conflicts where massive human rights violations have occurred across nations and argues that where these mechanisms have been established without regard to the regional or transnational nature of human rights violations, such mechanisms will encounter problems of coordination including legal …

Bridging The Divides In International Criminal Proceedings: An Examination Into The Victim Participation Endeavor Of The International Criminal Court, Brianne N. Mcgonigle

Florida Journal of International Law

The position of victims in international criminal proceedings has evolved considerably since the creation of the ad hoc tribunals in the early 1990s. No longer relegated to the role of witnesses, victims before the International Criminal Court (ICC) may actively participate in Court proceedings provided that their participation does not infringe upon the rights of the accused. This Article seeks to examine how the victim participation endeavor is transforming international criminal procedures at the ICC and what effect this transformation has on the rights and roles of parties and participants. Accordingly, it explores two great divides facing the Court: one …

Law Schools As Agents Of Change And Justice Reform In The Americas, Jon Mills, Timothy Mclendon

Florida Journal of International Law

As the legal community of the Americas evolves, the role of law schools and legal education must change with it. New realities of globalizing commerce and communication dictate that the legal profession understand and deal with emerging legal relationships. Wherever the future may lead with regard to the various treaties between nations in this hemisphere, like CAFTA, NAFTA, the FTAA, Mercosur, and others, it is obvious that the Americas are drawing irrevocably closer.

How will law schools participate and react? There is, in my opinion, an obligation for universities and particularly law schools to be involved in society and promote …

Mass Violence, Environmental Harm, And The Limits Of Transitional Justice, Rachel Killean, Lauren Dempster

Genocide Studies and Prevention: An International Journal

The relationship between the environment and mass violence is complex and multi-faceted. The effects of environmental degradation can destabilize societies and cause conflict. Attacks on the environment can harm targeted groups, and both mass violence and subsequent transitions can have harmful environmental legacies. Given this backdrop, it is notable that the field of transitional justice has paid relatively little attention to the intersections between mass violence and environmental degradation. This article interrogates this inattention and explores the limitations and possibilities of transitional justice as a means of addressing the environmental harms associated with mass violence. The article makes four key …

Treatment Disparities In Emergency Medical Services: The Influence Of Race/Ethnicity, Obesity, And English Proficiency, Jamie Kennel

Dissertations and Theses

Different treatment in healthcare settings provided to different social groups of people may lead to disparities in health, quality of life, and life span. Despite the critical role among healthcare services that Emergency Medical Services (EMS) provides disproportionately for marginalized communities, it remains unclear if and to what extent treatment disparities take place in the pre-hospital setting. Guided by the theoretical frameworks of social worth, aversive racism, and stigma, this study utilizes medical chart data from three different public and private datasets to investigate treatment disparities by Emergency Medical Service providers for racial minority, obese, and limited English proficiency patients. …

Guns, Classrooms, And Politics: Eliciting And Reflecting Upon Education Student Beliefs In The Age Of School Shootings, James K. Rigney, Gage Jeter

Excelsior: Leadership in Teaching and Learning

Unearthing the perspectives students bring with them in their college-level education coursework is especially important as education instructors are tasked with interrupting the unexamined proliferation of dominant ideologies among future educational professionals. The introduction to education course serves as an important site for this interrogation. One trend largely unexplored in the scholarly literature is the pedagogical use of controversy in introduction to education coursework. This study analyzes student discussion of the controversy of school gun violence within a redesigned introduction to education course. Data for this study come from student postings and final reflection papers in an online section of …

What's My Age Again?: Adolescent Development And The Case For Expanding Original Juvenile Court Jurisdiction And Investing In Alternatives For Emerging Adults Involved In Maine's Justice System, Christopher M. Northrop, Jill M. Ward, Jonathan J. Ruterbories, Jess N. Mizzi

Maine Law Review

While many aspects of Maine’s Juvenile Justice system are ripe for reform, this Article advocates for improving the system’s response to one group of offenders often overlooked by policymakers: emerging adults. The Supreme Court, in Roper v. Simmons, stated that “[t]he qualities that distinguish juveniles from adults do not disappear when an individual turns 18.” In fact, studies have shown that criminal conduct attributable to the unstable and impulsive nature of the adolescent mind continues well into a person’s mid-twenties. These eighteen to twenty-five-year-old offenders, termed “emerging adults” by researchers, experience much of the same developmental and physiological challenges as …
