Unilateral Home State Regulation: Imperialism Or Tool For Subaltern Resistance?, Sara L. Seck
Unilateral Home State Regulation: Imperialism Or Tool For Subaltern Resistance?, Sara L. Seck
Articles, Book Chapters, & Popular Press
Home state reluctance to engage in the regulation of international corporate activities in the human rights context is sometimes expressed as a concern that it would constitute an imperialistic infringement of host state sovereignty. This concern may be explicit, or it may be implicit in an expressed desire to avoid conflict with the sovereignty of foreign states. Yet, in the absence of a multilateral treaty directly addressing business and human rights, a role for home states in regulating so as to prevent and remedy human rights harms is increasingly being suggested. The purpose of this paper is to explore theoretical …
Home State Responsibility And Local Communities: The Case Of Global Mining, Sara L. Seck
Home State Responsibility And Local Communities: The Case Of Global Mining, Sara L. Seck
Articles, Book Chapters, & Popular Press
Home states that are actively engaged in global mining have considered and rejected calls to regulate the conduct of transnational mining corporations so as to prevent and remedy human rights and environmental harms. This reluctance to regulate is often expressed as a concern that extraterritorial regulation will conflict with the sovereignty of foreign states. This paper argues that the public international law of jurisdiction is permissive of home state regulation that can be justified under the nationality or territoriality principles, provided that there is no true conflict with an exercise of host state jurisdiction. In the human rights and environment …
Home State Obligations For The Prevention And Remediation Of Transnational Harm: Canada, Global Mining And Local Communities, Sara Seck
Articles, Book Chapters, & Popular Press
Canadian mining companies, stock exchanges, mining professionals, and the Canadian government itself, play a significant role in global mining. This unpublished PhD dissertation, completed in January 2008, explores whether Canada has a legal obligation to regulate to prevent and remedy human rights and environmental harm associated with Canadian mining companies operating abroad. Canada and global mining serve as a case study to explore the broader question of whether home states have obligations under international environmental and human rights law. The key claims examined in this dissertation are as follows. First, the exercise of unilateral home state jurisdiction over transnational corporate …
Bridging The Gap Between Truth And Reconciliation: Restorative Justice And The Indian Residential School Truth And Reconciliation Commission, Jennifer Llewellyn
Bridging The Gap Between Truth And Reconciliation: Restorative Justice And The Indian Residential School Truth And Reconciliation Commission, Jennifer Llewellyn
Articles, Book Chapters, & Popular Press
As suggested by the title Bridging the Gap between Truth and Reconciliation: Restorative Justice and the Indian Residential Schools Truth and Reconciliation Commission, this essay examines the potential gap between truth and reconciliation and suggests that the principles underlying restorative justice provide the necessary bridge. With respect to the goal of reconciling relationships, the author makes it clear that she is speaking of social relationships, not personal relationships. Restorative justice “is not about getting parties to hug and make up; rather, it strives to create the conditions of social relationships in which all parties might achieve meaningful, just, and peaceful …
Protecting Civilians During The Fight Against Transnational Terrorism: Applying International Humanitarian Law To Transnational Armed Conflicts, Karinne Lantz
Articles, Book Chapters, & Popular Press
This article will explore the ability of international law- particularly international humanitarian law (IHL)-- to protect innocent civilians from harm in the context of the fight against transnational terrorism. To achieve the goal of allowing states to protect their populations from the threat of terrorism, while at the same time respecting the rule of law and the rights of innocent civilians, it is argued that, while IHL must remain applicable only to armed conflicts, it must also evolve so that it clearly applies to "transnational" armed conflicts.

Judicial Reasoning About Pregnancy And Choice, Jocelyn Downie, Chris Kaposy
Judicial Reasoning About Pregnancy And Choice, Jocelyn Downie, Chris Kaposy
Articles, Book Chapters, & Popular Press
Women in Canada are at risk of abortion becoming increasingly difficult to access. In its landmark 1988 ruling, R. v. Morgentaler, the Supreme Court of Canada struck down the prohibition of abortion in section 251 of the Criminal Code on the grounds that it violated a section of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms which guarantees, among other things, "security of the person". However, all of the justices who ruled that section 25 unconstitutional nonetheless claimed that protecting the fetus is a valid objective of federal legislation, leaving open the possibility that a different and carefully crafted law against abortion …
