The Status Of Taiwan Under International Law And In A Changing World, Eric Ting-Lun Huang

Theses and Dissertations

The issue of Taiwan's status has long been disputed. Since 1949, more than half a century ago, a civil war divided a Chinese nation into two governments within the Chinese territories. One is the People's Republic of China on the mainland(China), the other is the Republic of China on Taiwan(Taiwan). Since then, China has long embraced the position of annexing Taiwan as its essential goal based on the political fiction of the one-China principle, assuming that "there is only one China internationally, Taiwan is a part of China, and the People's Republic of China is thesole government to represent the …

Eustitia: Institutionalizing Justice In The European Union, Helen E. Hartnell

Publications

The European Union is installing new infrastructure upon which to build a "genuine European area of justice. This "European judicial area" constitutes a key component of the "area of freedom, security and justice" ("AFSJ"). The Amsterdam Treaty added the AFSJ as a dimension of the Union, in order to promote the free movement of persons. "EUstitia" is a neologism that aims to capture both pragmatic and aspirational aspects of this new European governance project. The term is used here to refer solely to the civil law component of the AFSJ. This article both examines EUstitia's key features, and explores the …

International Law And Business Practice : Corporate Accountability And Compliance Issues In The Petroleum Industry, Emeka Duruigbo

Theses and Dissertations

This dissertation seeks to strengthen international law by incorporating and integrating multinational corporations more fully into the international legal system. It argues that the undeniable role of multinational corporations as primary players in the global economy and international politics necessitates or demands adequate acknowledgement in the international legal structure. Accordingly, due recognition should be accorded the rights and privileges of multinationals. Concomitant to that, corresponding duties and responsibilities should be attached to these corporate entities in international law.

Many far-reaching advantages will flow from such development. The corporations will enjoy de jure protection, which would enhance their business operations across …

In Defence Of The Right To Trial By Jury: A Solution To The Ailing Czech Justice System?, Susan Rutberg

Publications

According to the pollsters, public confidence in the Czech justice system is very low. 65% of Czechs do not trust their judges. Certainly, there is a connection between this mistrust and the fact that approximately 40% of the CR's 2500 current judges have been on the bench since before 1989. To an outsider, it seems surprising that the post-communist governments did not make changes to a system that had been controlled by the Communist party. The institution of trial by jury may be one way to promote public confidence in the Czech justice system.

The purpose of this article is …

Progressive Development Of International Law And Order Since The Events Of 11 September 2001, Sompong Sucharitkul

The Sompong Sucharitkul Center for Advanced International Legal Studies

The events of 11 September 2001, which sent shock waves to the conscience of mankind the world over, have entailed other consequences unattended by perpetrators of the terrorist acts against the United States and little suspected by the international community at the time. To every action, there is a reaction. The wheel of international justice moves slowly but surely as it requires necessary accompaniments, especially the overwhelming support of the global community and the underlying rule of international law on the subject.

The terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001 set the stage for an accelerated pace in the progressive concretization …

What Explains Crowding In California?, California Research Bureau

California Agencies

Crowding (defined as more than one person per room) has been rising in California. The average household size (number of persons in the household) has increased as well. A number of observers believe that this increase in household size reflects a rise in crowding in response to the lack of affordable housing. Concerns about whether new building construction was enough for the increased demand posed by California's growing population, emerged with the housing market conditions of the late 1990s. Annual housing production in the 1990s fell well below that of the 1980s, and lagged the growth in new jobs and …
