The Rule Of Law, Democracy, And International Law - Learning From The Us Experience, Gianluigi Palombella
The Rule Of Law, Democracy, And International Law - Learning From The Us Experience, Gianluigi Palombella
Gianluigi Palombella
The general issue addressed in this paper is the relation between the rule of law as a matter of national law, and as a matter of international law. Different institutional conceptions of this relationship give rise to different attitudes towards international law. Nonetheless, questions arise that cast doubt on age-old tenets of certain Western countries concerning the radical separability between the rule of law within the domestic system and in the international realm. The article will start considering some recent developments in the United States' treatment of alien detainees. Then it shall address the relation between domestic constitutions and international …

Instrumentalização Da Pessoa Humana Em Face Da Biotecnologia, Carolina Altoé Velasco, Manoel Messias Peixinho, Edmir José Menezes Cruz
Carolina Altoé Velasco
As intensas e rápidas transformações no modo de vida da humanidade através das inovações científico-tecnológicas produzem novas situações e relações não previstas diretamente no ordenamento jurídico. Surge a necessidade do aplicador do Direito buscar adequação normativa fundada em regras e princípios que promovam a dignidade humana. Razão do presente é abordar uma temática reflexiva sobre os direitos fundamentais, destacando o singular, inalienável e intransferível valor da pessoa humana. A percepção da dignidade da pessoa humana como valor-fonte aponta para a responsabilidade ética e profissional capaz de produzir e avaliar em sua ação laborativa a essência do bem, do certo, do …

Congressional Immunity Grants And Separation Of Powers: Legislative Vetoes Of Federal Prosecutions, Hanah M. Volokh
Congressional Immunity Grants And Separation Of Powers: Legislative Vetoes Of Federal Prosecutions, Hanah M. Volokh
Hanah M. Volokh
Congressional investigations can derail criminal prosecutions. The most famous example is the failure of the prosecution of Oliver North for his role in the Iran-Contra scandal after he testified at a congressional committee hearing about his conduct. The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals held that much of the evidence being used in the prosecution was tainted by association with North's compelled congressional testimony and could not be used at trial.
The knowledge that congressional investigations and grants of immunity can create problems for prosecutors has not stopped either the investigations or the immunity grants. Recently, Congress granted immunity to a …

Aspectos Jurídicos Do Embrião E O Princípio Da Dignidade Da Pessoa Humana, Carolina Altoé Velasco
Carolina Altoé Velasco
Desde os primórdios da civilização humana, sempre houve questionamento acerca do início da vida e debate quanto à natureza da pessoa. Com o decorrer dos anos e em detrimento da concretização da idéia de que toda pessoa humana é dotada de dignidade – considerada como qualidade intrínseca – firmou-se entendimento de que a pessoa não poderia ser objeto de todo e qualquer tipo de experimentação em nome do desenvolvimento e de pesquisas tecnológicas. É justamente nesse contexto que o presente artigo se desenvolve. São discutidos alguns casos, dentre eles, qual seria o questionamento mais adequado a se empregar no que …

De Quelques Paradoxes De Droit Du Travail À La LumièRe De La Directive 2002/14/Ce, Philippe Reyniers, Pierre-Paul Van Gehuchten
Philippe Reyniers
The article concerns the normative interactions between the Framework Directive on Information and Consultation and Belgian national law. It illustrates a number of paradoxes (or contradictory trends) in the development of workers' information and consultation.
On The Language Of Social Rights And New Modes Of Governance, Philippe Reyniers
On The Language Of Social Rights And New Modes Of Governance, Philippe Reyniers
Philippe Reyniers
The paper addresses the danger of two abstractions. The first is the indeterminacy of the language of fundamental social rights. The second is the abstract description of social policies within the Open Methods of Coordination. I then evaluate the possibilities of founding Social Europe on the real experience of injustice.
Bridging The Divide Between Justice Kennedy’S Progressivism And Justice Scalia’S Textualism: Introducing The Concept Of Negative Originalism, Adam Lamparello
Bridging The Divide Between Justice Kennedy’S Progressivism And Justice Scalia’S Textualism: Introducing The Concept Of Negative Originalism, Adam Lamparello
Adam Lamparello
This Article examines the United States's Supreme Court's reliance upon foreign sources of law when adjudicating "values based" cases. In particular, the Article analyzes the Court's decision in Lawrence v. Texas, with particular emphasis upon the interpretive approaches utilized by Justices Breyer ("progressivism") and Scalia ("originalism") in arriving at their respective decisions. Based upon such examination, including the efficacy of relying upon foreign sources of law to support domestic constitutional decisions, this Article proposes a new interpretive paradigm, entitled "negative originalism", which strives to ensure fidelity to the Constitution's original purposes and objectives, while allowing courts sufficient flexibility to fashion …

The Languages Of Constitutional Dialogue: Bargaining In The Shadow Of The People, Matthew S. R. Palmer
The Languages Of Constitutional Dialogue: Bargaining In The Shadow Of The People, Matthew S. R. Palmer
The Hon Justice Matthew Palmer
The 2007 Bora Laskin Annual Lecture at Osgoode Hall Law School analyzes law and policy as different languages in which the judicial and political branches of government speak and think - the languages of law and policy. It asks what the languages should be in which constitutional dialogue is conducted and, in particular, whether judges should always be required to be legally trained.
From Human Rights To Fundamental Rights: On The Consequences Of A Conceptual Distinction, Gianluigi Palombella
From Human Rights To Fundamental Rights: On The Consequences Of A Conceptual Distinction, Gianluigi Palombella
Gianluigi Palombella
This article introduces a peculiar distinction between "human" rights and "fundamental" rights, explaining through diverse areas, the role that the difference can play. Rights are loaded with contrasting properties and burdens, opposing features and values (neutral, pre-political, negotiable, democratic, etc.). On the contrary, we should accept - on one side - human rights as moral visions of what is due to human beings, deontological imperatives, even if abstract. But on the other side we cannot ignore the ethical problems: e.g. those resulting from their blind implementation. We need to enhance the institutional, legal and ethical-political meaning of "fundamental" rights, i.e. …
Rights As Norms And As Ends, Gianluigi Palombella
Rights As Norms And As Ends, Gianluigi Palombella
Gianluigi Palombella
This article considers the narratives of law through the lens of the form-substance devide. Different legal theories have provided for opposite definitions of law, legal rules and individual rights, enhancing their identity as due to some substantive content or, on the contrary, to some formal-functional features. The form-substance antinomy reflects both institutional and theoretical reasons. It bears down on the relations envisaged among rights, norms and ends. Different conceptions of rights are best understood as a special articulation of those three terms, and offer different patterns for rights, depending on their relation-opposition with collective ends, ethical values, legislation. The following …
Reasons For Justice, Rights And Future Generations, Gianluigi Palombella
Reasons For Justice, Rights And Future Generations, Gianluigi Palombella
Gianluigi Palombella
This article focuses on some very "fundamental threats" to future generations' leaving, and considers whether most essential interests of future persons not to be harmed can be construed as rights, and in particular as human rights, as much as present persons'. The framework refers essentially to a conceptual grammar of justice. Moreover, it is suggested to articulate rights through the lens of "disposability" and "non-disposability" principles. Finally, the article shows the reasons for separating what we owe to future persons under the challenge of those threats for humanity, i.e. a matter of justice, from our right to hand down our …

The Constitution Of Palestine: "The State In Development", Leonid G. Berlyavskiy
The Constitution Of Palestine: "The State In Development", Leonid G. Berlyavskiy
Leonid G. Berlyavskiy
Constitution of Palestine is an example of the constitutional act of the so-called "states in development" that is, being at the stage of development. The planned for the autumn of 2000 declaration of "the State the Palestine" has not taken place, however the constitution is considered working. According to the fundamental law Palestine is the parliamentary republic with rather extensive powers of the president, and is the unitary state.
Judicial Review Of Special Interest Spending: The General Welfare Clause And The Fiduciary Law Of The Founders, Robert G. Natelson
Judicial Review Of Special Interest Spending: The General Welfare Clause And The Fiduciary Law Of The Founders, Robert G. Natelson
Robert G. Natelson
This article surveys the principles of 18th century fiduciary law that the Founders incorporated into the U.S. Constitution-- principles they referred to as rules of "public trust." The article also suggests standards the courts can use to determine if particular congressional appropriations are within the "general welfare" limitation of the Constitution's so-called Spending Clause
Tempering The Commerce Power, Robert G. Natelson
Tempering The Commerce Power, Robert G. Natelson
Robert G. Natelson
The Supreme Court's modern interpretation of the Necessary and Proper Clause in the realm of interstate commerce is textually problematic, unfaithful to the Constitution's original meaning, and contains positive incentives for Congress to over-regulate. The Necessary and Proper Clause was intended to embody the common law doctrine of principals and incidents, and the Court should employ that doctrine as its interpretive benchmark. The common law doctrine contains less, although some, bias toward over-regulation, and it is flexible enough to adapt to changing social conditions. Adherence to the common law doctrine would markedly improve Commerce Power jurisprudence and reduce incentives for …

The Crime, The Case, The Killer Cocktail: Why Maryland's Capital Punishment Procedure Constitutes Cruel And Unusual Punishment, Matthew E. Feinberg
The Crime, The Case, The Killer Cocktail: Why Maryland's Capital Punishment Procedure Constitutes Cruel And Unusual Punishment, Matthew E. Feinberg
Matthew E Feinberg
Recent challenges to the death penalty argue that the anesthetic used in a majority of executions can wear off prior to death. Eye-witness accounts provide evidence that often, executions have not been completed painlessly, even when procedures are presumably completed in conformance with protocol. The lack of experience and training of Maryland's execution team produces a risk of botched executions. Finally, the drug cocktail is so powerful that it has been banned for use on animals due to the intense pain it inflicts. Each of these four concerns present a significant risk of excruciating pain for the inmate. The culmination …

Judicial Independence And The Rule Of Law: Lessons From Post-Menem Argentina, Christopher J. Walker
Judicial Independence And The Rule Of Law: Lessons From Post-Menem Argentina, Christopher J. Walker
Christopher J. Walker
Argentina, like much of Latin America, has historically been plagued by what some call delegative democracy or a democracy without any developed rule of law. However, the Kirchner Administration has brought a glimmer of hope to the twentieth-first-century Argentine democracy. President Néstor Kirchner was elected in 2003, after what was probably the most serious institutional, financial, and economic crisis in Argentina in recent times. When elected, Kirchner promised to address the perceived lack of independence of the Supreme Court and to restore the rule of law. This paper explains why Kirchner's efforts, without more, will not be enough to (re-)build …
