Shared Responsibility And The International Labour Organization, Yossi Dahan, Hanna Lerner, Faina Milman-Sivan
Shared Responsibility And The International Labour Organization, Yossi Dahan, Hanna Lerner, Faina Milman-Sivan
Michigan Journal of International Law
How should the international labor regime be reformed in order to guarantee all workers around the world minimum labor standards? This is the central question we address in this Article. It has been weighed and discussed by social scientists, legal scholars, and philosophers, who analyze it from various economic, political, and legal perspectives. Yet interestingly, the literature in this field has been, by and large, characterized by a sharp disciplinary divide: on the one hand, labor law scholars typically address the issue of international labor standards from a detailed practical perspective, defining the problems in terms of enforcement, efficacy, or …

Extraterritoriality And Extranationality: A Comparative Study, Zachary D. Clopton
Cornell Law Faculty Publications
International lawyers are familiar with the concept of extraterritoriality the application of one country's laws to persons, conduct, or relationships outside of that country. Yet the transborder application of law is not limited to international cases. In many states, the presence of indigenous peoples, often within defined borders, creates an analogous puzzle.

Using a distinctive double-comparative perspective, this Article analyzes extraterritoriality and extranationality across three countries: the United States, Canada, …
