Unfair Competition: Big Data And The Fight Over Data Privacy, Yekaterina Ko

Georgia Journal of International & Comparative Law

Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act prohibits “unfair methods of competition in or affecting commerce.” While Congress intended Section 5 to play a vital role in the development of competition policy, courts have struggled in applying this vague and ambiguous language, resulting in case- law that lacks certainty and is inconsistently enforced. These difficulties are further highlighted in the context of unfair competition and data privacy.

Data, the currency that our digital world trades in, is largely collected by a small group of companies, Google, Meta, and Amazon. Concerns over how this data is collected and used have …

National Regulatory Framework For Autonomous Vehicles: Why The United States Must Look Abroad To Find Answers, Taylor K. Hainley

Georgia Journal of International & Comparative Law

Automation is in every aspect of our lives. Autonomous cars, or ‘self- driving cars,’ dominate today’s headlines. There is just one problem: the United States’ legislative infrastructure is not suited for these autonomous cars to become commonplace on the roads. The United States’ fractured system results in a maze of state laws that make it difficult for manufacturers to comply. Other countries, like Germany and Singapore, have enacted systems to make the testing and implementation of autonomous cars more efficient. This Note argues that the United States should follow Germany and Singapore’s models by modifying the definition of “driver” and …

Let’S Play God: Commodifying The Human Body, Larkin Carden

Georgia Journal of International & Comparative Law

The global shortage of viable organs for transplantation, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, highlights a stark contrast between organ donation systems, particularly evident in the United States and Iran. While the United States relies on an altruistic donation system, resulting in millions on its waiting list, Iran's compensation-based approach has nearly eradicated its waitlist. The legal framework of the United States, shaped by property law, historical views on the human body, and federal statutes, complicates its approach to organ donation. The reluctance to grant individual rights to body parts hampers success compared to Iran’s incentivization approach. Beyond learning from Iran’s …

Rethinking Global Distributive Justice: Legal And Economic Norms Addressing Crises Of Global Health, Hunger, And Sustainability, Dr. Benedict Sheehy J.D., Dr. Ying Chen, Dr. Juan Diaz-Granados

Georgia Journal of International & Comparative Law

The increasingly global nature of the events impacting society globally call for a reconsideration of global distributive justice. Distributive justice, a matter of domestic concern, has a long history spanning millennia. It has become a particular concern with the advent of wide-spread private property and capitalism. While a concerted focus on distributive justice commenced in the mid-twentieth century, it is urgent that global distributive justice garners increased attention due to recent events spanning the past decade along with modern political ideologies and jurisprudence.

This Article contests purist theoretical positions by taking pragmatic approaches in reviewing legal and economic governance norms. …

The Creation Of A Climate Club For A Sustainable Economic Future: The Role Of International Economic Law Amidst Geopolitical Confrontation, Dyuti Pandya Ll.M., Rafael Leal-Arcas Ph.D

Georgia Journal of International & Comparative Law

As of late July 2023, the month of July 2023 had become the hottest month ever recorded in history. Heads of the governments of small island states have been outspoken about the existential risk their countries face due to rising sea level as a consequence of climate change. Wildfires are more frequent and more negatively impactful than ever before in different parts of the world. It is no wonder that sustainability has become a buzz word in the media, and policymakers all over the world are, more than ever, focusing on trying to achieve a sustainable future.

A sustainable global …

Assemblies Of Parties To Multilateral Treaties And Their Normative Authority, Ilias Bantekas

Georgia Journal of International & Comparative Law

Assemblies of states parties to multilateral treaties are of a twofold nature: those that are active, entrepreneurial, and rally both the political and financial dimensions as well as the stakeholders of their underlying constitutive instrument and those that are content to merely serve as meeting mechanisms. Several assemblies have undertaken extensive funding campaigns, without which their mandate could not have been achieved. In turn, these progressive assemblies have made significant inroads in respect to transnational contracting and forging their limited international personality in such a way as to become credible entities in international relations. This model should be replicated in …

One Image, One Thousand Words? Discussing The Outer Limits Of Resorting To Visual Digital Evidence In Cases Involving International Crimes, Solon Solomon

Georgia Journal of International & Comparative Law

Visual digital evidence plays a cardinal role in international law, particularly when it comes to international criminal law and the documentation of international crimes. This Article argues that resorting to visual digital evidence in cases involving international crimes should take place with cognizance of the prejudicial bias that such pieces of evidence can exert. In that sense, echoing the general impact of digital evidence on international criminal law, as stressed in the Berkeley Protocol on Digital Open Source Investigations as well as the Leiden Guidelines on the Use of Digitally Derived Evidence, this Article discusses why international courts as well …

Constitutional Human Duties, Dr. Alona Hagay Frey

Georgia Journal of International & Comparative Law

Constitutional human duties are simultaneously present and absent. Though many human duties are set forth in many constitutions throughout the entire world, modern scholarship has almost entirely excluded them from legal conceptualization. Liberalism shifted the spotlight to the individual, as an autonomous independent unit, while abandoning society. Furthermore, there is a tendency to frame constitutional human duties as “constitutional interests.” This Article suggests an innovative comparative analysis of constitutional human duties. Founded on that analysis, this Article develops a novel typology through which the characteristics of constitutional human duties are examined. The implications of various constitutional duties are explored in …
