Unpacking The International Law On Cybersecurity Due Diligence: Lessons From The Public And Private Sectors, Scott J. Shackelford
Unpacking The International Law On Cybersecurity Due Diligence: Lessons From The Public And Private Sectors, Scott J. Shackelford
Scott Shackelford
Although there has been a relative abundance of work done on exploring the contours of the law of cyber war, far less attention has been paid to defining a law of cyber peace applicable below the armed attack threshold. Among the most important unanswered questions is what exactly nations’ due diligence obligations are to one another and to their respective private sectors. The International Court of Justice (“ICJ”) has not yet explicitly considered this topic, though it has ruled in the Corfu Channel case that one country’s territory should not be “used for acts that unlawfully harm other States.” But …
When “One Country, Two Systems” Meets “One Person, One Vote”: The Law Of Treaties In The Crucible Of Hong Kong’S Election Crisis, Gregory S. Gordon
When “One Country, Two Systems” Meets “One Person, One Vote”: The Law Of Treaties In The Crucible Of Hong Kong’S Election Crisis, Gregory S. Gordon
Gregory S. Gordon
In Hong Kong’s recent election crisis, an uprising against China’s pre-selecting candidates for Chief Executive and thus foreclosing civic-nomination, both sides (establishment and pro-democracy) have attempted to interpret the term “universal suffrage” based exclusively on its inclusion in Hong Kong’s mini-constitution, the Basic Law. In so doing, however, they have given short shrift to the agreement that gave rise to the Basic Law in the first place: the 1984 Sino-British Joint Declaration. But while the Joint Declaration provides important textual insights, it simultaneously raises significant issues regarding application of the law of treaties. For example, did the Joint Declaration terminate …
Finding The Adequate Legal Framework For The Deployment Of Ocean Renewable Energy Through Area-Based Management, Xiao Recio-Blanco
Finding The Adequate Legal Framework For The Deployment Of Ocean Renewable Energy Through Area-Based Management, Xiao Recio-Blanco
Xiao Recio-Blanco
The world runs on electricity, but its global distribution is uneven and incomplete. The lack of access to electricity denies some people the most basic benefits, from healthcare and sanitation to security and economic development.
To increase access to electricity, most developing nations have relied on traditional sources of energy, namely fossil fuels, and the extension of a central electrical grid. Scholars and specialized International Organizations suggest that the implementation of renewable energy technologies through small-to-mid scale grid projects could be a reliable alternative. However, renewable energy technologies must overcome three formidable hurdles: low reliability, uneven availability, and the high …

Analyzing the Logic of Law and Social Change in the Arab Spring
Abstract:
Under conditions of extreme social and political injustice - when human rights are under the most threat - rational arguments rooted in the language of human rights are often unlikely to spur reform or to ensure government adherence to citizens’ rights. When those entrusted with securing human dignity, rights, and freedoms fail to do so, and when other actors—such as human rights activists, international institutions, and social movements—fail to engage the levers of power to eliminate injustice, then oppressed and even quotidian …

International Law In Antiquity, Caique Tomaz Leite Da Silva, João Paulo De Almeida Lenardon

International law binds the construction of its classical paradigm to the Peace Treaties of Westphalia (1648). However, we can find numerous institutes related to international relations in antiquity. In the Middle East, Greece and Rome, treaties were celebrated with expected penalties in case of noncompliance, the wars were limited and diplomatic relations with other people were object of high political concern. Diplomacy and alliances between peoples obeyed some guidelines that had solidified long before the Westphalian paradigm. It was also found indications that parity between the peoples and “balance of power”, usually associated with Jean Bodin’s work, has directed international …
Rescuing Arbitration In The Developing World: The Extraordinary Case Of Georgia, Steven Austermiller
Rescuing Arbitration In The Developing World: The Extraordinary Case Of Georgia, Steven Austermiller
Steven Austermiller
The country of Georgia has a long and interesting history with arbitration. From “telephone justice” to the criminal underworld to legitimacy, Georgian arbitration has survived many iterations. Now, as Georgia begins the EU accession process, it has a new arbitration law that incorporates international norms. This article analyzes the law, explores how arbitration has been implemented thus far, and discusses some of the challenges that remain. Drawing on his U.S. practice experience in arbitration and his work managing legal reform programs in Georgia and other countries, the author recommends some important changes to Georgia’s new arbitration regime. A particular area …
The Hauntings Of Mamudiyah, Francine Banner, Tyler Wall
The Hauntings Of Mamudiyah, Francine Banner, Tyler Wall
Francine Banner
On March 12, 2006, five American soldiers stationed in Mamudiyah Province, Iraq had a few drinks, played a couple hands of cards, then jogged in staggered formation to nearby Yusufiyah Province, where they systematically murdered Abeer al Janabi her family. The perpetrators have been sentenced, yet, the ghosts of that day continue to haunt us. This essay engages the methodology of haunting investigation in order to explore the ghosts of race, class, and gender as they manifested themselves at Mamudiyah. Exploring trial transcripts, media accounts, and data obtained via interviews with American soldiers, we examine the ways in which these …
The Right To Read, Lea Shaver
The Right To Read, Lea Shaver
Lea Shaver
Reading – for education and for pleasure – may be framed as a personal indulgence, a moral virtue, or even a civic duty. What are the implications of framing reading as a human right?
Although novel, the rights-based frame finds strong support in international human rights law. The right to read need not be defended as a “new” human right. Rather, it can be located at the intersection of more familiar guarantees. Well-established rights to education, science, culture, and freedom of expression, among others, provide the necessary normative support for recognizing a universal right to read as already implicit in …
Proactive Cybersecurity: A Comparative Industry And Regulatory Analysis, Scott J. Shackelford, Amanda Craig, Janine Hiller
Proactive Cybersecurity: A Comparative Industry And Regulatory Analysis, Scott J. Shackelford, Amanda Craig, Janine Hiller
Scott Shackelford
This Article analyzes recent business realities and regulatory trends shaping the proactive cybersecurity industry. To provide a framework for our discussion, we begin by describing the historical development of the industry and how it has been shaped by the applicable law in the United States and other G8 nations. We then catalogue the proactive cybersecurity practices of more than twenty companies, focusing on four case studies that we consider in the context of polycentric “global security assemblages.” Finally, we assess the emergence of proactive cybersecurity norms, both within industry and international law, and consider the implications of this movement on …
