Democracy And Respect For Difference: The Case Of Fiji, Joseph H. Carens Jun 1992

Democracy And Respect For Difference: The Case Of Fiji, Joseph H. Carens

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

In what follows, I will first offer a capsule history of Fiji. I then will identify some of the moral questions that emerge, both for the inhabitants of Fiji and for us as observers. I will present some tentative answers to these moral questions, reflecting as I go on what this tells us about the possibilities and limits of normative theory, but also trying to note where my normative judgments rest upon features of the story that I think others would want to contest and trying to indicate how alternative readings of the history would affect the normative judgments, if …

Applying U.S. Law To Halt Deforestation In Southeastern Myanmar: A Survey Of Potential Strategies, Douglas J. Kelso May 1992

Applying U.S. Law To Halt Deforestation In Southeastern Myanmar: A Survey Of Potential Strategies, Douglas J. Kelso

Washington International Law Journal

As the twentieth century draws to a close, the threat posed by environmental degradation grows increasingly apparent. Climatic change, ozone depletion, hazardous wastes, and numerous other ecological concerns gain growing prominence in national and international policy debates. Environmental degradation causes the loss of valuable atmospheric, hydrological, geological, and biological resources. In terms of resource depletion, the rapid destruction of tropical rain forests poses one of the greatest ecological threats to our planet today. This paper proposes that proper application of United States law might discourage tropical deforestation abroad, using the nation of Myanmar (formerly Burma) as an example.

The Impact Of Taiwan's Political Reform On Its Mainland China Policy: Pragmatic Economic Relations And Conflicting Political Ideology, Lawrence B. Weiner May 1992

The Impact Of Taiwan's Political Reform On Its Mainland China Policy: Pragmatic Economic Relations And Conflicting Political Ideology, Lawrence B. Weiner

Washington International Law Journal

For nearly forty years, the Republic of China on Taiwan (ROC), acting under the Kuo Min Tang (KMT), or Nationalist Party, and the People's Republic of China (PRC), acting under the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), have ruled separate provinces across the Taiwan Straits, each claiming legitimate rule over China. During that entire time, neither side rescinded its threat to use military force, and the mainland regularly shelled islands controlled by the ROC. Recent events, however, have significantly altered relations between the two Chinas. In 1987, immediately after the ROC government repealed martial law, Taiwan residents were allowed to visit the …

Defamation In Hong Kong And The People's Republic Of China: Potential Perils Of Two Standards Of Free Speech, Melissa K. Bauman Jan 1992

Defamation In Hong Kong And The People's Republic Of China: Potential Perils Of Two Standards Of Free Speech, Melissa K. Bauman

UC Law SF International Law Review

Britain will return sovereignty over Hong Kong to the People's Republic of China (PRC) in 1997. Britain and the PRC have agreed that Hong Kong law will remain in effect until at least 2047. Using defamation law as an example, this Note explains why this agreement actually offers little protection or reassurance to the people of Hong Kong. Hong Kong law as written and Hong Kong law as enforced by the British differ greatly. Recently actions of the PRC government, particularly the Tienamen Square Massacre, suggest that the PRC is likely to enforce the laws in their stricter, written form. …

Disappearances In Honduras: The Need For Direct Victim Representation In Human Rights Litigation, Claudio Grossman Jan 1992

Disappearances In Honduras: The Need For Direct Victim Representation In Human Rights Litigation, Claudio Grossman

UC Law SF International Law Review

In two landmark decisions, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights recently found that the Government of Honduras was responsible for the politically-motivated kidnappings and murders of two Honduran nationals. This Article examines these decisions and evaluates the advisory role given the victims' lawyers in the proceedings. The author argues that such indirect participation by the victims and their families is unsatisfactory. The Article concludes that the international system for investigating and punishing human rights abuses would benefit from direct representation of the victims.

Dual Nationality In France And The United States, Simone Tan Jan 1992

Dual Nationality In France And The United States, Simone Tan

UC Law SF International Law Review

As society becomes increasingly global, more and more Americans are living abroad. As a result, dual nationality is increasingly common. This Note argues that the United States should adopt legislation making it easier for Americans living abroad to pass their citizenship on to their children. The author uses France's experience with its dual nationals as an example for the United States of how this situation can be handled effectively. The Note argues that by drawing on the principles of the French solution, the United States could keep the goodwill and tax dollars of its citizens living abroad.

Trade, Environment, And Sustainable Development: A Primer, Robert Housman, Durwood Zaelke Jan 1992

Trade, Environment, And Sustainable Development: A Primer, Robert Housman, Durwood Zaelke

UC Law SF International Law Review

Free trade policy and environmental policy are often at odds. Experts on both sides, however, are beginning to realize that sustainable development is the best hope for long-term international economic prosperity. Given the environmental crisis the world is facing, both sides must work to reconcile the legal relationship between trade agreements and environmental agreements if sustainable development is to be achieved and maintained. Accordingly, this Article surveys trade agreements, including the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, and environmental agreements for possible conflicts. The Article concludes with a brief discussion of options for reducing or eliminating such conflicts.
