Kissinger's World: A Cautionary Tale Through A Cold War Lens, Michael J. Kelly
Kissinger's World: A Cautionary Tale Through A Cold War Lens, Michael J. Kelly
San Diego International Law Journal
Kissinger rightly praises president Bush's call for America to act with humility on the world stage. After an era of triumphalism and arrogance that characterized our conduct of foreign policy in the 1980's and 90's, with Secretary of State Madeleine Albright memorably referring to America as the indispensable nation, a tone of humility is clearly in order. More so now that some of the hatred aimed at this country can be traced to such callousness felt in the Islamic World and the Third World. Although much of this book's impact may have been undermined by the unforeseeable terrorist attacks against …
Regulating Foreign Vessels Under The Clean Air Act: The Case For A Permissible Administrative Interpretation, Dan Lickel
Regulating Foreign Vessels Under The Clean Air Act: The Case For A Permissible Administrative Interpretation, Dan Lickel
San Diego International Law Journal
This Comment will argue that the EPA may regulate the emissions of large sea-going vessels flying foreign flags that enter the territorial sea, contiguous zone, or Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of the United States, under Section 213 of the CAA, notwithstanding conventional and customary Law of the Sea and other international treaties governing vessel source pollution. Part II of the comment presents background material that explains the provisions of the CAA, which mandate the EPA to regulate international shipping vessels. This section also presents the regulatory schemes developed by the IMO and the EPA. Part III evaluates whether the EPA …
Recent Developments In Wastewater Management In The Coastal Region At The United States-Mexico Border, John H. Minan
Recent Developments In Wastewater Management In The Coastal Region At The United States-Mexico Border, John H. Minan
San Diego International Law Journal
The purpose of this Article is to examine recent developments in the long-standing struggle by the United States and Mexico to cope with managing cross-border wastewater. Two notable legal developments have occurred recently that are fundamental to understanding the situation today. One is legislative, and the other is judicial. Neither has received scholarly comment. The first is the enactment of Tijuana River Valley Estuary and Beach Cleanup Act, which was signed into United States' law in 2000. It signified a significant change in policy by Congress. Prior to the enactment of the Cleanup Act, the international agreement contained in Minute …
Civil Litigation As A Means Of Compensating Victims Of International Terrorism, Walter W. Heiser
Civil Litigation As A Means Of Compensating Victims Of International Terrorism, Walter W. Heiser
San Diego International Law Journal
This Article discusses the rules of procedural law that authorize United States courts to enter civil judgments against international terrorists and the foreign states that sponsor them. Somewhat surprisingly, these rules do not make such judgments difficult to obtain. As the Sutherland case illustrates, plaintiffs have already recovered substantial money judgments against terrorist defendants. Not surprisingly, the real difficulties are encountered when plaintiffs seek to enforce such judgments. Private parties have successfully utilized civil litigation as a means of neutralizing domestic hate groups. The question now is whether they can achieve similar success with respect to international terrorists. Success in …
The Privileges And Immunities Of The International Criminal Court: Are They Sufficient For The Proper Functioning Of The Court Or Is There Still Room For Improvement, Stuart Beresford
San Diego International Law Journal
[T]o determine whether the ICC has the privileges and immunities necessary to ensure the proper functioning of the organization, this Article will first discuss the historical development of privileges and immunities for international organizations, including the legal foundation of the privileges and immunities of the Court. It will then examine the privileges and immunities of the organization as a legal entity, before turning to the privileges and immunities accorded to the various categories of individuals who have to attend the institution in an official capacity. Lastly, because a number of other categories of individuals play an essential role in the …
Reparations For Slavery: A Dream Deferred, Watson Branch
Reparations For Slavery: A Dream Deferred, Watson Branch
San Diego International Law Journal
When the year began, the prediction was that 2001 was going to be the "Year of Reparations." Both internationally and in the United States, the consensus held that the time had finally come for governments around the world to face up to racism and apologize for the harm brought about by slavery and its aftermath harm in the past, to those long dead, and in the present, to those who, because of the color of their skin, still suffer from racism. Governments were expected to make amends for that harm through restitution and compensation, whether individual or collective. This willingness …
National Missile Defense: Legal & (And) Policy Justifications For Expanding Deterrence & (And) Preventing War In The 21st Century, Michael A. Mccann
National Missile Defense: Legal & (And) Policy Justifications For Expanding Deterrence & (And) Preventing War In The 21st Century, Michael A. Mccann
San Diego International Law Journal
This Comment will argue that National Missile Defense (NMD) is a desirable form of national defense and also compatible with international law. This Comment begins with an exploration of the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty of 1972 and its legal significance as it has evolved over time culminating with President George W. Bush's announcement on December 13, 2001 to withdraw from the Treaty. Next, it examines the past, current and future forms of missile defense, including how these forms interplay with international law. In the third section, criticisms of missile defense will be evaluated and established to be unpersuasive, especially in light …
