Impacts Of The Circumspection Of Women’S Rights Abroad On International Adoption, Jennifer Bowman
Impacts Of The Circumspection Of Women’S Rights Abroad On International Adoption, Jennifer Bowman
University of Baltimore Journal of International Law
International adoption has been lauded and derided by the public since its initial surge into popularity following the Second World War. While international adoptions are regulated by numerous legal instruments (international and domestic), problems of gender discrimination, exploitation, and human trafficking are widespread and systemic. This article examines the impacts of the circumspection of women’s rights generally and women’s reproductive rights on international adoption. Ultimately this article argues that foreign policy initiatives promoting women’s reproductive freedoms economic empowerment would mitigate the problematic features of international adoption and they would be an important step toward reducing adoption rates generally. This article …
China’S Approaches To The Western-Dominated International Law: A Historical Perspective From The Opium War To The South China Sea Arbitration Case, Anlei Zuo
University of Baltimore Journal of International Law
China’s approaches to international law are an example of non-Western peoples’ perspectives towards the Western-dominated international law. How has China understood and interacted with the Western- dominated international law since its modern history? This research provides a historical and evolutionary framework for “China and international law” to reveal China’s approaches to the Western dominated international law since the Opium War. It finds that China is historically critical and culturally conservative, and since the Opium War, it has interacted with the Western-dominated international law in a reluctant, instrumental and pragmatic way. The research concludes that the final goal of China’s participation …

War By Committee: An Examination Of Legislative War Powers, Nicholas Creel
War By Committee: An Examination Of Legislative War Powers, Nicholas Creel
University of Baltimore Journal of International Law
This paper will serve as an examination of the powers and limitations of the United States legislative branch of government in matters of war. In doing this, precedence will be given to specifically enumerated powers granted or withheld by the current Constitution of the United States. Founding documents, such as the Articles of Confederation and early state constitutions will also be examined and contrasted with the current legal regime in an attempt to better understand the true meaning behind the Constitution. International law, as it applies to American war powers, will also be examined when relevant.

In The Face Of Brexit, The United Kingdom Has No Choice But To Provide Data Protection For Individuals, Organizations And Law Enforcement Agencies By Updating Their Legal Framework, Which Is Based Upon A 20-Year-Old Act., Logan Hayes
University of Baltimore Journal of International Law
The United Kingdom currently relies upon the Data Protection Act of 1998 (DPA 1998) to set the legal framework for the protection of data. That act is nearly 20-years-old and should be updated to echo the way in which data is now used and generated in an ever-evolving digital world. Due to Brexit, there is a need to protect data through stronger laws governing data protection that will also set up appropriate safeguards. The Data Protection Bill, introduced to the House of Lords on September 13, 2017 has the potential to do just that. Not only does this Bill have …
Let’S Have Soufflé Instead: Selective Reform Of The Investor-State Dispute Settlement Regime, Esther-Jane Grenness
Let’S Have Soufflé Instead: Selective Reform Of The Investor-State Dispute Settlement Regime, Esther-Jane Grenness
University of Baltimore Journal of International Law
A network of agreements comprising the investment treaty law regime cover international investments. It is a system rife with abuses made possible by loopholes and an inconsistent body of law. The system is in a legitimacy crisis and many seek to dismantle it entirely. Numerous alternatives and improvements have been proffered but few impactful steps have been taken to mitigate the problems within it. This comment advocates for an incremental approach that keeps the parts of the system that work while removing aspects that enable the most egregious abuses.
The Stateless: Millions Of People Forgotten And Left Without Adequate Immigration Assistance, Where Does The United States Fit Into The Plight Of The Stateless?, Jasmine Pope
University of Baltimore Journal of International Law
What is citizenship? What does it mean to be American, French, Sudanese, Thai, or Bolivian? Is it simply being born in any given country or is it something more than that? These are questions that for many people, they rarely think about on a daily basis, and yet for some, this question plagues every second and every ounce of their being. On a Sunday afternoon in December, thousands of people watch National Football League games. Prior to the start of every game, the National Anthem is sung. Some fans sing along, some fans stand in silence, some players pray, and …
