Climate Change And The Right To Health: A Threat Multiplier, Alejandra Ureta Melcon Jan 2022

Climate Change And The Right To Health: A Threat Multiplier, Alejandra Ureta Melcon

Upper Level Writing Requirement Research Papers

This comment argues that climate change threatens fundamental human rights recognized by the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. Therefore, the United Nations should adopt the standards set forth in cases like Sacchi v. Argentina and Teitiota v. New Zealand to denote climate change as a threat to the right to health under Articles 11 and 12 of the 1966 International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights. Climate change is already having monumental impacts on access to food and access to clean water and sanitation, which this comment demonstrates by analyzing two country case studies: The Central African …

International Water Law’S Ability To Address Jordanian Water Insecurity, Jo Young

Upper Level Writing Requirement Research Papers

This comment studies international water law, specifically between Jordan and Israel, by detailing the complex history of Jordan and Israel. The comment analyzes the unique progression of previously feuding states, specifically Jordan and Israel, and looks to a hopeful future.

Further, this comment hopes to shed light on a more sustainable future that can inspire the international community as …

The Deadly Cost Of Unregulated Labor: How The United States Fair Labor Standards Act Violates The International Labour Organization’S Ilo Convention No. 182 In Failing To Provide Protections For Children Working In Agriculture, Sara Salinas Jan 2021

The Deadly Cost Of Unregulated Labor: How The United States Fair Labor Standards Act Violates The International Labour Organization’S Ilo Convention No. 182 In Failing To Provide Protections For Children Working In Agriculture, Sara Salinas

Upper Level Writing Requirement Research Papers

The Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (FLSA) was the first successful comprehensive legislation addressing child labor laws in the United States. While important, the FLSA left a lot to be desired for agricultural child workers as it provides less protections for them than for non-agricultural child workers. This disparity has left child agricultural workers legally allowed to work in hazardous conditions at a young age, and work nearly unlimited hours. For the most part, child labor laws were at a stalemate until 1999 when the United States ratified the International Labor Organization (ILO) Convention No. 182, also known as …

A Political Canary: An Empirical Study Of The Correlation Between Hatch Act Complaints And How The Electoral College Votes, Raimund Stieger

Upper Level Writing Requirement Research Papers

The American public witnesses hundreds, if not thousands, of violations of the Hatch Act—an administrative law designed to keep partisan politics out of Government—each year. This study aimed to determine whether there is a correlation between the number of Hatch Act complaints reported in the fiscal year leading up to a Presidential election and how divisive the political landscape is during that Presidential election. Political divisiveness was defined as how close the winning Presidential candidate was to receive fifty percent of the electoral college. To assess the theory that an increase in Hatch Act complaints is an early indicator of …

Constructing The Yellow Brick Road: Preventing Discrimination In Financial Services Against The Lgbtq+ Community, Cyrus Mostaghim Jan 2021

Constructing The Yellow Brick Road: Preventing Discrimination In Financial Services Against The Lgbtq+ Community, Cyrus Mostaghim

Upper Level Writing Requirement Research Papers

The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Questioning (“LGBTQ+”) community lacks explicit statutory protections from discrimination in financial services. After the Supreme Court held in Bostock that employment discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity was illegal, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) issued an informal interpretive rule for the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) and Regulation B that made discrimination in the access to credit based on sexual orientation or gender identity illegal. However, this paper argues that an informal interpretive rule is easily rescinded and does not provide sufficient protection. Thus, alternative action is needed to create …

Mission Critical: How Fiduciary Duties Of Oversight Can Aid Corporations In Managing Stakeholder Interests, Krishna P. Pathak

Upper Level Writing Requirement Research Papers

After several public tragedies, corporate missteps, and catastrophes; politicians, certain investors, and other stakeholders have called for accountability in capitalism, proactive action to alleviate climate change, and performance of social obligations from corporations. The Business Roundtable and World Economic Forum have come out with proposals that signify a paradigm shift to the stakeholder approach to capitalism. Delaware, a haven for shareholder primacy, has permissive standards that allow a corporation to engage in any lawful business activity. However, concerns about fiduciary duties, especially the implied duties of good faith, legal compliance, and oversight, have created obligations for directors to engage in …
