Time's Up, Councilman: Why Military Commissions Warrant Exemption From Abstention Doctrine, Alex W.S. Lilly Jan 2019

Time's Up, Councilman: Why Military Commissions Warrant Exemption From Abstention Doctrine, Alex W.S. Lilly

Case Western Reserve Journal of International Law

In 2017, two Guantanamo Bay detainees filed writs of certiorari with the Supreme Court of the United States. Through different claims, both men argued that the military commissions convened to prosecute them lacked subject matter jurisdiction to do so. The first man, Ali Hamza Ahmad Suliman al Bahlul, challenged his conspiracy conviction on the basis that it is unconstitutional to try purely domestic offenses in a non-Artide III tribunal. The second, Abd al Rahim al-Nashiri, has not yet been tried. As such, he raised pretrial objections to his military commission's competence to try him for crimes committed pre-9/11. In October …

Leverage Is Everything: Understanding The Trump Administration's Linkage Between Trade Agreements And Unilateral Import Restrictions, Richard O. Cunningham Jan 2019

Leverage Is Everything: Understanding The Trump Administration's Linkage Between Trade Agreements And Unilateral Import Restrictions, Richard O. Cunningham

Case Western Reserve Journal of International Law

This paper offers an understanding of the Trump administration's (Administration) often-perplexing approach to international trade policy and, in particular, the Administration's repeated threats to withdraw from or renegotiate bilateral, regional and multilateral trade agreements. The central premise offered here is that all Administration trade actions--including both its approach to trade agreements and its threats or use of unilateral import restrictions--must be seen in terms of two fundamental goals. The first is to eliminate U.S. trade deficits with foreign countries (individually or collectively). The second is to restore the U.S. manufacturing sector by limiting imports and by bringing back to the …


Non-Appropriation, No Problem: The Outer Space Treaty Is Ready For Asteroid Mining, John G. Wrench Jan 2019

Non-Appropriation, No Problem: The Outer Space Treaty Is Ready For Asteroid Mining, John G. Wrench

Case Western Reserve Journal of International Law

Has technology outrun the international law governing outer space? This dilemma presents itself as private entities become capable of space travel and new technology makes asteroid mining a reality. Although the Outer Space Treaty's "non-appropriation" principle prohibits nations from claiming sovereignty over space bodies, that restriction does not prevent resource extraction. The non-appropriation principle, interpreted alongside existing legal regimes, distinguishes between forbidden appropriation and permissible extraction. Consequently, the non-appropriation principle is most accurately viewed as a flexible premise from which the international community is free to fashion unique laws governing resource extraction in outer space.

Mens Rea Reform As A Demand-Side Solution To The Problem Of Sex Trafficking, Daniel Michael Criswell Jan 2019

Mens Rea Reform As A Demand-Side Solution To The Problem Of Sex Trafficking, Daniel Michael Criswell

Case Western Reserve Journal of International Law

Trafficking in persons has existed around the world for many years, yet the United States has only begun to take this modem form of slavery seriously in the last two decades. The nature of sex trafficking has caused confusion for the United States and others around the globe regarding how to best deal with the commercial sex industry. The failure to reduce the commercial sex industry through traditional means of prosecuting the traffickers and their victims has motivated Sweden, and consequently the United States, to pursue a different strategy: reducing the demand through the prosecution of the buyers of commercial …

Sifting Through The Arbitrators For The Woman, The Minority, The Newcomer, Douglas Pilawa Jan 2019

Sifting Through The Arbitrators For The Woman, The Minority, The Newcomer, Douglas Pilawa

Case Western Reserve Journal of International Law

This Note examines the process of choosing an arbitrator in international arbitration. Much of the debate and criticism of this process addresses the lack of diversity in arbitral tribunals around the world. Diversity in this context means not only traditional diversity (i.e. gender, race, ethnicity), but also the basic idea of adding "fresh faces " to arbitral tribunals. Yet the ethical obligation to provide a client with the best chance to prevail encourages counsel to choose a familiar, wellknown name with an established "track record" over a littleknown "dark horse. " This tension illustrates a fundamental point of friction in …

World War Web: Rethinking "Aiding And Abetting" In The Social Media Age, Rebecca J. Cambron Jan 2019

World War Web: Rethinking "Aiding And Abetting" In The Social Media Age, Rebecca J. Cambron

Case Western Reserve Journal of International Law

ISIS's use of social media presents a new challenge for counterterror efforts. The organization aims to recruit followers and incite violence through social media. Given that this is a new medium for terrorist organizations, social media companies have come under fire for indirectly providing ISIS with farreaching platforms to spread its content. The companies, as well as national governments and international entities, have attempted to respond to the threat posed by such content. These responses, however, have proven ineffective. This Note argues that to effectively respond to and combat the threat posed by terrorist speech, national governments should adopt a …

Global Human Rights Organizations And National Patterns: Amnesty International's Representations Of Darfur, Joachim J. Savelsberg Phd Nov 2018

Global Human Rights Organizations And National Patterns: Amnesty International's Representations Of Darfur, Joachim J. Savelsberg Phd

Societies Without Borders

This article investigates the contribution of International Non-Governmental Organizations to the social construction of knowledge about episodes of mass violence. The focus is on the dynamics between global and national forces, explored through a case study of Amnesty International and the mass violence that unfolded in the Darfur region of Sudan during the first decade of the 21st century. Interviews with Amnesty staff and volunteers, supplemented by an examination of Amnesty websites, suggest that the organization succeeds in generating a relatively unified representation, reflective of its goal to promote human rights, but that it can succeed only by granting leeway …


Radical Right-Wing Parties In Western Europe And Their Populist Appeal: An Empirical Explanation, Peter Doerschler Phd, Pamela Irving Jackson Phd Nov 2018

Radical Right-Wing Parties In Western Europe And Their Populist Appeal: An Empirical Explanation, Peter Doerschler Phd, Pamela Irving Jackson Phd

Societies Without Borders

In a majority of Western European countries, the vote share cast for radical right-wing populist parties in national elections was over 10% by 2015, reaching 46% in Austria’s 2016 presidential election. Policy agendas of national governments have also moved to the right, demonstrating greater restrictiveness on immigration and skepticism toward the EU. With data from the Chapel Hill Expert Survey, European Social Survey, Multiculturalism Policy Index, and Parliaments and Governments Database, we extend current models of electoral support for far-right parties by assessing whether the ethnic majority’s sense of discrimination and safety help explain the allure of the right-wing message. …


Comparing Ignorance: Imagined Immigration And The Exclusion Of Migrants In The Us And Western Europe, Daniel Herda Phd Nov 2018

Comparing Ignorance: Imagined Immigration And The Exclusion Of Migrants In The Us And Western Europe, Daniel Herda Phd

Societies Without Borders

There exists a well-documented tendency among citizens to perceive immigrant populations as much larger than indicated by official statistics. This misperception has been linked to desires to halt the flow of immigration or restrict immigrants’ rights, raising concern about the consequences of pervasive faulty information. However, ignorance extends beyond questions of population size. There are also many qualitative misperceptions upon which individuals base their opinions about foreigners. In particular, citizens are likely to hold incorrect perceptions about the legal status of the typical immigrant (i.e., documented vs undocumented). The current study takes a unique approach by simultaneously examining both quantitative …
