Bolivia And Coca: Law, Policy, And Drug Control, Melanie R. Hallums
Bolivia And Coca: Law, Policy, And Drug Control, Melanie R. Hallums
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
International drug trafficking looms large in the future of international relations. Although drug production and consumption can no longer be labeled as problems belonging to a few discrete nations, some countries' identities in the international arena are still shaped by their perception as drug-producing nations. Bolivia is one such country. Coca and cocaine have dominated its modern history and will continue to dominate its future. Bolivia's experience, however, is representative of not only other Andean nations' struggles with the drug epidemic, but of the international community's struggle with drug trafficking.

The Globalization Of Public Health: Emerging Infectious Diseases And International Relations, David Fidler
The Globalization Of Public Health: Emerging Infectious Diseases And International Relations, David Fidler
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies

globalization refers to the various factors that infringe upon a sovereign
state's ability to control what occurs in its territory. Next, the article defines
and discusses emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) and examines the
contributions made by globalization to the emergence and reemergence of
EIDs. The article then develops a "pathology of the globalization of public
health ", which helps the reader to understand better …

The central argument of this paper is that the character of a nation's system of law is inextricably connected with its socio-economic, cultural, religious and political make-up. To understand the attitude of a nation towards other nations, one must not be ignorant of the laws through which that nation gives expression to its sense of justice and regulates its structure. Furthermore, one must bear in mind that each system of law has different concepts through which its law is expressed, language through which it is explained, categories by which it is organized, and legal rules which themselves embody the law …

In a special section coinciding with the International Reunion of Law School graduates, Law School graduates who are deeply involved in the globalization of legal practice respond to the question, "If you could leap ahead 10 years, how do you think what you are doing now will change?" And in a thought-provoking prologue, Professor of Law Jose Alvarez and Assistant Dean for International Programs Virginia A. Gordan consider the historical - and historic - impact of Law School graduates from overseas on the legal profession.

The arms embargo has deprived Bosnia-Hercegovina of the right of legitimate self-defense. It has caused the destruction of the country, deepened the war and caused genocide.

The term self-determination still teeters on the borders of evolving legal precept, expression of political will, and universal human aspiration. The concept never quite settles down into a black letter law pronouncement or a clearly understood political dynamic.

In 1969, Congress passed the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)' with the objective of causing governmental agencies to consider environmental impact in their decision-making. Questions arose early regarding who had standing to initiate judicial review under the Act, and what the proper scope was for consideration of environmental effects of agency actions.

The results of this Symposium have …
Anticipating Hong Kong's Constitution From A U.S. Legal Perspective, John M. Rogers
Anticipating Hong Kong's Constitution From A U.S. Legal Perspective, John M. Rogers
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
This Article explores the possible nature of Hong Kong's Constitution after July, 1997, and discusses alternative ways of interpreting and enforcing the constitution. The author first proposes three definitions for the word "constitution'" (1) how political power is actually "constituted," (2) a written document and (3) a referent for disputes. The author then explains Hong Kong's unusual constitutional status where Hong Kong will be governed under a written constitution the Basic Law. and at the same time, many aspects of the Basic Law will be "guaranteed" by an international agreement, the Joint Declaration. The author proceeds to evaluate the means …
Will Hong Kong Be Successfully Integrated Into China? A Human Rights Perspective, Yu Ping
Will Hong Kong Be Successfully Integrated Into China? A Human Rights Perspective, Yu Ping
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
This Article explores the human rights forecast following Hong Kong's reintegration into China. The Article first reviews the British human rights record in Hong Kong, and explains why China was angered by last-ditch British political reform. It then explores the legal framework of Hong Kong, including the Sino-British Joint Declaration and the Basic Law of Hong Kong, and concludes that neither offers significant protection for human rights in Hong Kong. In particular, Chinese state security and state secrets laws are likely to be used to suppress political dissidents, journalists, international organizations, and other "foreign elements" in Hong Kong. The Article …
South Africa's 1996 Choice On Termination Of Pregnancy Act, Audrey E. Haroz
South Africa's 1996 Choice On Termination Of Pregnancy Act, Audrey E. Haroz
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
South Africa's Bill of Rights is one of the most liberal and elaborate in the world. Consequently, South Africa is at the forefront of defining human rights for individuals, especially women. Concurrently, international law is slowly undergoing a reconceptualization of human rights documents and guarantees to define a more definitive, protective, and pro-active body of rights for women.
By upholding the constitutionality of the 1996 Abortion Act, South Africa can define its own Bill of Rights in liberal terms and ensure that the South African Constitution continues to receive a broad interpretation. A welcome result would be the improvement of …
Proposals To Address Germany's Status As A "Land Of Immigration", Anne M. Seibel
Proposals To Address Germany's Status As A "Land Of Immigration", Anne M. Seibel
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
International law permits each individual State to determine who under its laws are citizens of the nation. Germany's decision at the beginning of this century to adhere to the jus sanguinis model of citizenship continues to shape the country's immigration and citizenship laws. This model predicates citizenship on one's parents rather than one's place of birth. Accordingly, "ethnic Germans" who have returned to Germany since the end of the Cold War era are considered to possess a right to German citizenship. In contrast, naturalization procedures are rigorous for foreign residents, including guestworkers and asylum seekers, many of whom are long-time …

Women's Rights In International Law, Valerle A. Dormady
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
This Note contains a detailed review of state responses to the Platform for Action produced at the United Nations' Fourth World Conference on Women. The Author finds that this consensus was reached on most of the proposals outlined in the Platform for Action. Certain proposals, however, regarding reproductive and Inheritance issues, were subject to a great deal of dispute during the drafting of the Platform for Action, and many countries ultimately registered reservations as to these proposals. While the news reports of the Fourth World Conference on Women focused on the lobbying activities of both Islamic countries and Catholic countries, …

Neither Free Nor Fair: The 1996 Bosnian Elections And The Failure Of The U.N. Election-Monitoring Mission, Christopher A. Riley
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
The international community faced a difficult challenge after the Dayton Peace Accords ended the civil war in Bosnia. Free and fair elections became an essential component to establishing a democratic government in the war-torn country. The United Nations and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe responded by carrying out Annex 3 of the Peace Accords, which called for such elections. The resultant election-monitoring mission in Bosnia, however, was unsuccessful The elections were held under improper conditions. Therefore, the Bosnian people lack confidence in the democratic process, which is necessary for long-term democracy.
... And Justice For All: Normative Descriptive Frameworks For The Implementation Of Tribunals To Try Human Rights Violators, Gautam Rana
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
With the formation of the Bosnian and Rwandan War Crimes Tribunals, the international community has created a mechanism for the enforcement of human rights law for the first time since the Nuremburg and Tokyo War Trials. The efficacy of these tribunals, however, is in doubt. This Note proposes that only a few human rights are truly universal in nature and can be guaranteed by the international community. Furthermore, the political realities of the international system precludes the use of international tribunals against the more powerful nations of the international community. The Note concludes that by focusing on the human rights …

Next, the Article focuses on ways to ensure the consideration of international legal questions by Mexico's high …
