Lessons Learned, Lessons Lost: Immigration Enforcement's Failed Experiment With Penal Severity, Teresa A. Miller
Lessons Learned, Lessons Lost: Immigration Enforcement's Failed Experiment With Penal Severity, Teresa A. Miller
Journal Articles
This article traces the evolution of “get tough” sentencing and corrections policies that were touted as the solution to a criminal justice system widely viewed as “broken” in the mid-1970s. It draws parallels to the adoption some twenty years later of harsh, punitive policies in the immigration enforcement system to address perceptions that it is similarly “broken,” policies that have embraced the theories, objectives and tools of criminal punishment, and caused the two systems to converge. In discussing the myriad of harms that have resulted from the convergence of these two systems, and the criminal justice system’s recent shift away …

Of Shrines, Memorials And Museums: Using The International Criminal Court's Victim Reparation And Assistance Regime To Promote Transitional Justice, Frédéric Mégret
Of Shrines, Memorials And Museums: Using The International Criminal Court's Victim Reparation And Assistance Regime To Promote Transitional Justice, Frédéric Mégret
Buffalo Human Rights Law Review
This article reviews and critically assesses the Rome Statute's complex victim reparation and assistance regime. The regime is a dual one, characterized by its reliance both on reparations ordered by the International Criminal Court and assistance provided by the Trust Fund for Victims. Both approaches raise a series of quantitative, qualitative, scope and contextual problems which are very imperfectly answered at present. In particular, there is a risk that the broader needs of transitional justice will be omitted as falling neither under "reparations" or "assistance." Rather than address the issue of the best reparations/assistance regime in the abstract, this article …
The Analogy Between Piracy And Human Trafficking: A Theoretical Framework For The Application Of Universal Jurisdiction, Miriam Cohen
The Analogy Between Piracy And Human Trafficking: A Theoretical Framework For The Application Of Universal Jurisdiction, Miriam Cohen
Buffalo Human Rights Law Review
Universal jurisdiction is a doctrine by which States can assert jurisdiction over certain clearly circumscribed offenses that occur outside their territory and without any nexus to the nationality of the victim or the alleged perpetrator. The doctrine was originally developed to address piracy that occurred on the high seas. Because piracy occurred across international borders, thus impacting international navigation and commerce, it was seen as a threat to many, if not all nations. The justification for asserting universal jurisdiction over piracy was primarily based on the locus of the crime, its effect on many States, and its alleged heinous nature. …

Beyond Torture: The Nemo Tenetur Principle In Borderline Cases, Luis E. Chiesa
Beyond Torture: The Nemo Tenetur Principle In Borderline Cases, Luis E. Chiesa
Journal Articles
In this article I examine three borderline cases in which it is not clear whether a confession had been obtained in violation of the nemo tenetur principle (i.e. the rights against self-incrimination and forced inculpation). The case of the false confession presents a situation in which a person made a voluntary confession but the overwhelming evidence pointed to the falsity of the statements. In contrast, the confession obtained in the case of the truth serum is of high probative value. However, it could be argued that the suspect did not voluntarily decide to incriminate himself, given that he confessed when …
