The Global Practice Of Systematic Enforced Disappearances Of Children In International Law: Strategies For Preventing Future Occurrences And Solving Past Cases, Jeremy J. Sarkin, Elisenda Calvet Martinez
Catholic University Law Review
The aim of this article is to first investigate and understand the widespread and systematic practice of enforced disappearances against children around the world, with a key purpose being to show that it is a regular occurrence. The article reviews the systematic disappearances of children in their historical context, beginning from the Second World War. A variety of country examples –some historical and some contemporary –are discussed to indicate the widespread nature of the practice. The variety of cases is used to understand why states participate in such practices and why children specifically are targeted as victims of enforced disappearances. …
Refining Statutory Interpretation: How Natural Gas Export Regulations Violate U.S. International Trade Obligations, Amanda L. Tharpe
Refining Statutory Interpretation: How Natural Gas Export Regulations Violate U.S. International Trade Obligations, Amanda L. Tharpe
Catholic University Law Review
As a member of the World Trade Organization (WTO), the United States is required to abide by nondiscriminatory trade policies when exporting products to other WTO members. Current U.S. policy regulating natural gas exports impose burdensome and lengthy licensing procedures on those requesting approval of a permit to export natural gas to countries with which the U.S. does not have a free trade agreement. A similar commodity, crude oil, is regulated by different regulations that allow for U.S. oil producers to freely export crude oil overseas. This Comment analyzes the differences in federal laws and regulations governing the export of …
Article 36 Of The Vienna Convention On Consular Relations: Private Enforcement In American Courts After Lagrand, Cara H. Drinan
Article 36 Of The Vienna Convention On Consular Relations: Private Enforcement In American Courts After Lagrand, Cara H. Drinan
Scholarly Articles
In this Note, I explore the potential impact of LaGrand upon domestic American criminal jurisprudence with an eye toward what the case demonstrates for America as a member of international institutions more generally. In Part I, I describe the central holdings of the ICJ in LaGrand, noting how dramatically LaGrand departs from what American courts have previously interpreted the VCCR to require. Having demonstrated the enormity of LaGrand's procedural implications, I examine early cases after LaGrand and what they suggest about the American judicial response to the ICJ decision in Part II. I argue that American courts err to the …
The International Recognition Of Judgments: The Debate Between Private And Public Law Solutions, Antonio F. Perez
The International Recognition Of Judgments: The Debate Between Private And Public Law Solutions, Antonio F. Perez
Scholarly Articles
This article explores institutional alternatives for balancing the competing trade and non-trade concerns at the national and global levels in relation to the recognition and enforcement of judgments. It argues against a private international law convention of the kind that is currently being negotiated at the Hague Conference on Private International Law, and against quasi-constitutional and constitutional solutions, such as those employed by the European Union and the United States. Rather, the article argues that managing the tensions between trade and non-trade values and between state autonomy and globally established standards can best be achieved through a supplementary agreement in …

The Passive Virtues And The World Court: Pro-Dialogic Abstention By The International Court Of Justice, Antonio F. Perez
The Passive Virtues And The World Court: Pro-Dialogic Abstention By The International Court Of Justice, Antonio F. Perez
Scholarly Articles
Only a few years ago the International Court of Justiceseemed to be edging toward judicial activism. This article argues that in its most recent pronouncements the ICJ has instead employed a variety of techniques for abstention. The ICJ's use of this "arsenal of devices" recalls, however, Alexander Bickel's argument for the exercise of judicial restraint by the U.S. Supreme Court in a way that nonetheless allows the judicial organ to stimulate constitutional politics. In the recent contentious cases and advisory opinions concerning the status of East Timor, exploitation of the natural resources of Nauru, and a trilogy of nuclear testing …
On The Way To The Forum: The Reconstruction Of Article 2(7) And The Rise Of Federalism Under The United Nations Charter, Antonio F. Perez
On The Way To The Forum: The Reconstruction Of Article 2(7) And The Rise Of Federalism Under The United Nations Charter, Antonio F. Perez
Scholarly Articles
This Article argues that the U.S. and EC views of the national security interests exceptions reflect competing conceptions of the WTO legal order. Under the first, the WTO is viewed as merely an agreement between states governing a limited issue area, the disciplining of protectionist policies, under which other issue areas are reserved to sovereign state decisionmaking or, alternatively, whatever other international institutions states have separately granted competence for management of the issue. Under this view, the United States might well argue that its Helms-Burton sanctions are outside the jurisdiction of the WTO and instead within the jurisdiction of the …

The second and third summarize the historical application of the antitrust laws to joint ventures in general, and to transnationaljoint ventures in particular. The fourth section explores the economic bases for analysis and briefly notes some relevant political considerations. The fifth section analyzes the application of antitrust principles to transnational ventures, emphasizing the leading historic and contemporary judicial decisions, and attempting to identify and critique the developing analytical approaches.
Finally, the article suggests a judicial and legislative response that …
