Hiv And Women: Incongruent Policies, Criminal Consequences, Aziza Ahmed Feb 2011

Hiv And Women: Incongruent Policies, Criminal Consequences, Aziza Ahmed

Aziza Ahmed

The new agency UN WOMEN must play an active role in the standardization of laws and policies at the global and national level where their incongruence has negative and often criminal consequences for the health and lives of women and girls. This article focuses in on three such examples: opt-out testing for HIV, criminalization of vertical transmission, and the new World Health Organization guidelines on breastfeeding.

International Legal Hierarchy Revisited: The Status Of Obligations Erga Omnes, Ulf Linderfalk Dec 2010

International Legal Hierarchy Revisited: The Status Of Obligations Erga Omnes, Ulf Linderfalk

Ulf Linderfalk

Increasingly, international legal arguments exploit the peculiar nature of obligations erga omnes. This practice raises questions about the precise legal status of norms expressing such obligations relative to other norms of international law. According to an oft-made suggestion, whether a norm is part of the international jus cogens or not, when it expresses obligations erga omnes it is hierarchically superior to all other norms of non-peremptory international law. This essay inquires into the justification of this theory - throughout the essay referred to as “the Theory on the Superior Status of Erga Omnes Obligations”. As shown in section 2, irrespective …

The Application Of International Legal Norms Over Time: The Second Branch Of Intertemporal Law, Ulf Linderfalk Dec 2010

The Application Of International Legal Norms Over Time: The Second Branch Of Intertemporal Law, Ulf Linderfalk

Ulf Linderfalk

Intertemporal law governs the applicability of international legal norms ratione temporis. According to often used terminology, intertemporal law has two different branches. This article provides clarification of the so-called ‘second branch of intertemporal law’. It does so by refuting two commonly held assumptions. First, as established in section 2 of the article, the second branch of intertemporal law is not an exception to the first branch of that law. It cannot be, since both branches of intertemporal law centre on the same legal principle: an action or a factual state of affairs must be assessed in the light of the …

The Creation Of Jus Cogens: Making Sense Of Article 53 Of The Vienna Convention, Ulf Linderfalk Dec 2010

The Creation Of Jus Cogens: Making Sense Of Article 53 Of The Vienna Convention, Ulf Linderfalk

Ulf Linderfalk

This essay provides an analysis of the creation of jus cogens. The analysis makes intelligible the definition of jus cogens provided in Art. 53 of the 1969 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties. It has been said repeatedly about this definition that it is circular. If a jus cogens status is conferred on a rule of law because the international community of states accepts and recognizes this rule as non-derogable and modifiable only by the creation of a new norm of jus cogens, then the definition assumes what remains to be established: the creation of jus cogens. As shown …
