Justice As Message Symposium: What We See When We See Law … Through The Eyes Of Dame Laura Knight, Diane Marie Amann Dec 2020

Justice As Message Symposium: What We See When We See Law … Through The Eyes Of Dame Laura Knight, Diane Marie Amann

Scholarly Works

The eye cannot help but be drawn to the cover of Justice as Message, the new analysis by Carsten Stahn of, to quote the subtitle, Expressivist Foundations of International Criminal Justice. On the high-gloss paper jacket we see a tableau of blacks and browns and olive drab, accented only by the purple of a lawyer’s robe and the teal of a dossier perched on the bar behind him. In front, we see that the bench is buried in paper – paper that turns to ashes as the back wall gives way to a vision of buildings in ruin …


Circuit Split Deepened By Second Circuit's 'Functional' Test Application In Recent Section 1782 Ruling, Peter B. Rutledge, Emina Sadic Herzberger Sep 2020

Circuit Split Deepened By Second Circuit's 'Functional' Test Application In Recent Section 1782 Ruling, Peter B. Rutledge, Emina Sadic Herzberger

Popular Media

Federal law authorizes district courts to order discovery for use in a proceeding before a "foreign or international tribunal." While that law, 28 U.S.C. § 1782, permits interested persons to request such discovery, neither the statutory language nor Supreme Court jurisprudence definitively resolves whether private arbitral tribunals fall within its scope. Unsurprisingly, the lack of clear guidance on this matter has triggered a circuit split, with the Second and Fifth Circuits generally declining to extend § 1782 to private arbitral tribunals while the Fourth and Sixth Circuits broadly interpret the statutory language to apply § 1782 to private arbitral tribunals. …

Welcoming Participation, Avoiding Capture: A Five-Part Framework, Melissa J. Durkee Jan 2020

Welcoming Participation, Avoiding Capture: A Five-Part Framework, Melissa J. Durkee

Scholarly Works

What role should non-state actors have in the work of international organizations? It is particularly fitting that this panel is titled “between participation and capture,” because the phrase calls up the conflicting values that animate this question. When we think of non-state actors “participating” in the work of international organizations, we think about open, transparent organizations that are receiving the benefit of diverse perspectives and expertise. We may associate this phrase with process, access, and legitimacy in governance. On the other hand, when we think about non-state actors “capturing” the agenda of international organizations, we have a conflicting set of …


Glimpses Of Women At The Tokyo Tribunal, Diane Marie Amann Jan 2020

Glimpses Of Women At The Tokyo Tribunal, Diane Marie Amann

Scholarly Works

Compared to its Nuremberg counterpart, the International Military Tribunal for the Far East has scarcely been visible in the seven decades since both tribunals’ inception. Recently the situation has changed, as publications of IMTFE documents have occurred alongside divers legal and historical writings, as well as two films and a miniseries. These new accounts give new visibility to the Tokyo Trial – or at least to the roles that men played at those trials. This essay identifies several of the women at Tokyo and explores roles they played there, with emphasis on lawyers and analysts for the prosecution and the …

The Future Of Space Governance, Melissa J. Durkee

Scholarly Works

Fifty years after the first moonwalk, the prospect for a new set of multilateral agreements governing outer space is remote, yet the legal questions raised by activity in space are mounting. With little prospect of new treaties, nations will need to make do with existing treaty law, generate customary rules to govern new applications, or develop forms of sub-legal understanding and cooperation. This special conference issue of the Georgia Journal of International and Comparative Law addresses these questions.


Nations And Markets, Harlan G. Cohen Jan 2020

Nations And Markets, Harlan G. Cohen

Scholarly Works

Economics and security seem increasingly intertwined. Citing national security, states subject foreign investments to new scrutiny, even unwinding mergers like the purchase of Grindr or the creation of TikTok. The provision of 5G has become a diplomatic battleground – Huawei at its center. Meanwhile, states invoke national security to excuse trade wars. The U.S. invoked the GATT national security exception to impose steel and aluminum tariffs, threatening more on automotive parts. Russia invoked that provision to justify its blockade of Ukraine, as did Saudi Arabia and the UAE to excuse theirs of Qatar. And with the spread of COVID-19, states …
