Carceral Firms In Disguise: Prison Labor, Human Rights, And The Public-Private Divide, Mao-Hong Lin

Emory International Law Review

The prohibition of forced labor is a globally recognized principle. International laws such as the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the European Convention on Human Rights, and the American Convention on Human Rights explicitly ban all forms of slavery, including forced labor, with an exception for forced labor behind bars. Further, ILO asserts that forced prison labor must be conducted solely under the control of public authorities, explicitly excluding private entities from involvement. ILO’s prohibition against private use of prison labor is based on two main concerns: abuse of power over inmates and unfair competition between inmates and …

Josef Bohatec: The First Historian Of The Calvinist Reformation Of Rights, John Witte Jr., Thomas Jared Farmer

Emory International Law Review

This Article analyzes the pioneering work of the first great historian of Calvinist rights talk, Josef Bohatec (1876–1954), a Moravian-born and Vienna-based church historian. Bohatec built on the earlier efforts of several German scholars who were excavating pre-Enlightenment sources of human rights going back to antiquity. But Bohatec placed strong new emphasis on the original rights contributions of sixteenth-century Protestant reformer John Calvin (1509-1564) and his followers. Bohatec showed how Calvin’s legal training shaped the many new statutes and rights ordinances that he crafted for Geneva. He also showed how Calvin’s theological training shaped his highly innovative Protestant legal and …

From Litigation To Arbitration: Empirical Insights Into The Dmca Notice-And-Takedown System In Cross-Border E-Commerce Copyright Disputes, Baichuan Huang

Emory International Law Review

In cross-border disputes, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) notice-and-takedown system’s reliance on federal litigation as its final step faces serious procedural obstacles. An empirical analysis of twenty-four lawsuits filed in the Southern District of New York (SDNY) reveals non-appearing defendants, protracted proceedings, and Amazon’s occasional reinstatement of infringing products based on statutorily defective counter-notices. SDNY’s routine approval of email service on foreign defendants raises additional concerns about treaty violations and inconsistent application of legal standards. To address these inefficiencies, this Comment proposes a public, arbitration-like mechanism as an alternative to litigation. While private arbitration models—such as Amazon’s Patent Evaluation …
