The Evil Technology Hypothesis: A Deep Ecological Reading Of International Law, Luigi Russi, Ugo Mattei Dec 2011

The Evil Technology Hypothesis: A Deep Ecological Reading Of International Law, Luigi Russi, Ugo Mattei

Luigi Russi

This short paper advances the hypothesis that international law, far from being a purely neutral “indeterminate” technology that can lend itself to both good and bad uses, might actually be structurally biased to produce exploitative outcomes. This hypothesis is presented through several steps. The first part presents Martti Koskenniemi’s indeterminacy thesis, followed by Anthony Anghie’s depiction of international law as a technology. The possibility of an inherent bias of technology, such that it will lend itself to exploitative uses, even with the best of intentions, is then introduced in Section III, using the writing of radical ecological thinkers Ran Prieur …

In Search Of A Forum For The Families Of The Guantanamo Disappeared, Peter Honigsberg Dec 2011

In Search Of A Forum For The Families Of The Guantanamo Disappeared, Peter Honigsberg

Peter J Honigsberg

The United States government has committed grave human rights violations by disappearing people during the past decade into the detention camps in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. And for nearly thirty years, beginning with a 1983 decision from a case arising in Uruguay, there has been a well-developed body of international law establishing that parents, wives and children of the disappeared suffer torture, or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment (CID).

This paper argues that the rights of family members were severely violated when their loved ones were disappeared into Guantanamo. Family members of men disappeared by the United States have legitimate claims …

China's Evidentiary And Procedural Reforms, The Federal Rules Of Evidence, And The Harmonization Of Civil And Common Law, John J. Capowski Dec 2011

China's Evidentiary And Procedural Reforms, The Federal Rules Of Evidence, And The Harmonization Of Civil And Common Law, John J. Capowski

John J. Capowski

China’s People’s Supreme Court has stated its commitment to reform its judicial system, and the linchpin of the reform effort is the Uniform Provisions of Evidence, which are in the process of becoming China’s first procedural and evidentiary code. Incongruously, China, a civil law country, has modeled the Uniform Provisions upon the United States’ Federal Rules of Evidence and incorporated into the Uniform Provisions principles of United States’ criminal and civil procedure. The parallels between the Uniform Provisions and the Federal Rules of Evidence are striking and the adoption of F.R.E. language extraordinary.
After setting out the traits that distinguish …
