Customary International Law: A Reconceptualization, Roozbeh (Rudy) B. Baker
Customary International Law: A Reconceptualization, Roozbeh (Rudy) B. Baker
Brooklyn Journal of International Law
The current state of international law is one of deep confusion over the role of state practice and opinio juris within the customary element. The debate between adherents of “modern custom” versus those of “traditional custom” has resulted in deep uncertainty and confusion. New theories of customary international law have proved inadequate in clarifying the current state of the field. Confusions over the meanings and relationships between state practice and opinio juris aside, current approaches are all also flawed due to a heavily state-centric bias that fails to take into account the very real affects that norm-generating transnational actors have …
Should I Stay Or Should I Go?: Why Bolivian Tactics And U.S. "Flexibility" Undermine The Single Convention On Narcotic Drugs, Robert C. Zitt
Should I Stay Or Should I Go?: Why Bolivian Tactics And U.S. "Flexibility" Undermine The Single Convention On Narcotic Drugs, Robert C. Zitt
Brooklyn Journal of International Law
This Note examines the deterioration of the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs (“Convention”), as Member State circumvention of treaty spirit continues to highlight the disconnect between progressive drug policies and an enforcement regime armed with little or no power to monitor compliance. It first provides a brief history of the Convention with discussion underscoring the governing bodies of the treaty itself, particularly the International Narcotics Control Board (INCB). Further discussion will note the procedural mechanisms whereby parties can propose amendments or reservations to the Convention itself. With such procedures in mind, subsequent examination will analyze how Member States have …
Copyright Competition: The Shifting Boundaries Of Convergence Between U.S. And Canadian Copyright Regimes In The Digital Age, David Amar
Brooklyn Journal of International Law
The great copyright debate between protecting creators and encouraging information-sharing has always been a contentious and likely unresolvable battle. However, with the crafting of new legislation designed to rein in unscrupulous sharing in the age of online sharing and piracy, the discussion grows ever more heated. The economies of Canada and the U.S. have always been intertwined, and in a copyright context, this has never been clearer. Since Canada began to appear on the U.S. “Special 301” piracy reports, the two nations have been locked into a system of promulgating ever-more restrictive copyright policy, the logical extreme of which may …
Cutting The Wire: A Comprehensive Eu-Wide Approach To Refugee Crises, Kelsey Leigh Binder
Cutting The Wire: A Comprehensive Eu-Wide Approach To Refugee Crises, Kelsey Leigh Binder
Brooklyn Journal of International Law
This Note examines the current refugee crisis occurring in the European Union, where over a million refugees have entered the region since the beginning of 2015, and proposes that the EU implement a two-step permanent emergency framework for dealing with mass migration crises. It first looks at the major bodies of international refugee law, including a historical overview of its foundations, the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees, and the 1967 Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees. Next, it will explore the legal mechanisms that are in force throughout the EU, including the EU’s asylum laws and …
Free Kick: Fifa’S Unintended Role In Illuminating Jurisdictional Gaps Of International Criminal Courts, Travis L. Marmara
Free Kick: Fifa’S Unintended Role In Illuminating Jurisdictional Gaps Of International Criminal Courts, Travis L. Marmara
Brooklyn Journal of International Law
In the wake of the FIFA corruption scandal of 2015, certain realities have come to light. FIFA’s corruption knows no bounds, but fans of the sport will watch nonetheless. What is less apparent is that the two most prominent international criminal courts—the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and the International Criminal Court (ICC) fail to have jurisdiction over the FIFA organization or its officials when they engage in white-collar crimes that sanction human rights abuses abroad. This Note examines how FIFA officials’ acceptance of Qatari bribes to host the 2022 World Cup exposed alarming jurisdictional inadequacies of the ICJ and …
