Military Forensic Archaeology: The Process And Recovery Of U.S. Missing-In-Action (Mia) Service Personnel, William Belcher, Luann Wandsnider, Ella N. Axelrod, Finn Kennison, Alicia Lawson

Department of Anthropology: Faculty Publications

The United States (U.S.) Department of Defense's (DoD) Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) is the largest skeletal identification laboratory in the world and receives several hundred cases per year for identification related to Missing-in- Action (MIA) U.S. service members. While there are various sources for these accessions, by far the largest source is through unilateral or bilateral (done in cooperation with another governmental entity or nongovernmental organization) as well as public-private partnership excavations. While the DPAA-style military forensic archaeology follows archaeological principles and recording standards, the work is goal-oriented, evidence/trace-driven, and time-constrained— a common occurrence with cultural resource management sites …

An Almighty Influence: Catholicism's Hand In Divergent Abortion Protection Outcomes From The Philippine And Mexican Judicial Systems, Maris Medina

Loyola University Chicago International Law Review

Since Spain introduced Catholicism in Mexico and the Philippines by way of violent colonization, the religious institution has fulfilled an enormous role in the two countries' governance. When considering reproductive justice, it is evident that the Mexican and Philippine governments' relationships with Catholicism have shaped the way political and judicial structures grant access to, interpret, and govern the right to abortion. With Catholicism's influence in government, how has one country decriminalized abortion and the other continues to levy criminal prosecution against it?

The 2023 decision from Mexico's Suprema Corte de Justicia de la Nación decriminalizing abortion nationwide tracks a greater …

Standing Up To China: How The Exclusive Economic Zone Of The Philippines And A Looming Alliance Will Challenge Relations With China In The South China Sea, Graham Colombo

Loyola University Chicago International Law Review

China has consistently asserted its jurisdiction throughout the South China Sea for approximately 40 years, but recent events illustrate a critical juncture in the area's longstanding conflicts. On August 5, 2023, a Chinese coast guard vessel deployed a water cannon against a Philippine boat in Philippine territory in the South China Sea. Following the incident, multiple countries in close proximity to the South China Sea have questioned their threshold for tolerance for China's aggressive actions. If these countries do not halt China's assertion of jurisdiction, China will keep advancing and claiming territory as their own.

The nine-dash line ruling, the …

Agoa In The New Context Of The Affcfta: The Need For Renewal And Reform, Melissa Zindel

Loyola University Chicago International Law Review

The African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) ("Act") (19 U.S.C. § 3701) was signed into law on May 18, 2000, to promote "stable and sustainable economic growth and development" in sub-Saharan African countries through a system of enhanced trade preferences. Congress extended the Act in 2015, and it is currently set to expire in September 2025. The economic climate on the African Continent has changed substantially since AGOA's 2015 renewal, in large part due to the ratification of the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA), which went into effect on May 30, 2019. Nearly every African nation has now signed …

"Not A Victimless Crime": A Comparison Of Global Regulatory Frameworks And The Future Of The International Community's Response To Artificial Intelligence Crime, Blake Morrow

Loyola University Chicago International Law Review

The international community continues to implement regulations on artificial intelligence (Al). Fueled by AI's burgeoning generative ability, the technology's growth presents a heightened risk that bad actors will use Al systems to facilitate crimes or produce harmful content, including the production of child sex abuse materials (CSAM).

Despite this heightened risk, countries and other regulatory bodies struggle to balance the benefits of Al innovation against limiting any potential dangers. Moreover, with no uniform international regulations on Al and very little guidance from international leaders, the global Al regulatory landscape remains a fragmented patchwork of domestic approaches that limit international cooperation. …

Fair Play Or Fraud: The Disparity Of Wada's Enforcement Of International Anti-Doping Laws In Russia And China, Ashleigh Kaosombat

Loyola University Chicago International Law Review

This note examines the World Anti-Doping Agency's ("WADA") disparate enforcement of its Code in doping cases involving Russian and Chinese athletes, highlighting inconsistencies in sanctioning and examining the consequences of these deviations. This disparate application of WADA's Code provisions frustrates the agency's mission to promote fair competition in international sport by diluting the legitimacy and authority of its enforcement. In both WADA v. RUSADA (2020) and WADA v. RUSADA (2024), WADA launched full investigations into Russian athlete doping in international sporting competition.

WADA v. RUSADA (2020) demonstrates WADA's condemnation of Russian state-sponsored doping practices, while WADA v. RUSADA (2024), Kamila …

Who Do We Think We Are? Human Rights In A Time Of Ecological Change, Usha Natarajan

Loyola University Chicago International Law Review

This article explores the relationship between international human rights law and the environment. It begins with asking “who do we think we are” to understand the forms of subjecthood and subjectivity produced by human rights. It argues that human rights normalize a series of false conceptions about our collective self that have detrimental social and ecological consequences. The article next examines the question of “where we think we are”, probing the ontological rift between humans as subjects of rights and “the environment” as the repository of resources with which to satisfy human entitlements. The article challenges human rights as a …

Between Penal Code And Mob Justice: Pakistan's Violations Of The Iccpr Through Blasphemy-Driven Violence, Natasha Ali

Loyola University Chicago International Law Review

Blasphemy in Pakistan is not merely a legal offense—it is an allegation that can ignite a mob. For decades, the country’s blasphemy laws have been the subject of international scrutiny, particularly as they intersect with civil society and fuel the rise of extrajudicial violence perpetrated under a collective mob-justice mentality. The killing of Tahir Ahmed Naseem, a fifty-seven-year-old American citizen, shot in a courtroom while awaiting trial on blasphemy charges, is not an anomaly but a chilling illustration of a system where an accusation alone can become a death sentence.

The continued existence of these blasphemy laws has entrenched a …
