China And The Human Right To Health: Selective Adaptation And Treaty Compliance, Pitman B. Potter
China And The Human Right To Health: Selective Adaptation And Treaty Compliance, Pitman B. Potter
All Faculty Publications
The international community has devoted considerable energy to dialogue and exchanges with China on issues of treaty compliance in areas of trade and human rights, and while many improvements are evident in China’s legal regimes for trade and human rights, problems remain. Further, academic and policy discourses on China’s trade and human rights policy and practice are all too often conflicted by normative differences and illusions about them. The paradigm of “selective adaptation” offers a potential solution by examining compliance with international trade and human rights treaties by reference to the interplay between normative systems associated with international rule regimes …
Kitzmiller And The "Is It Science?" Question, Jay D. Wexler
Kitzmiller And The "Is It Science?" Question, Jay D. Wexler
Faculty Scholarship
When Judge John E. Jones, III, a United States District Court judge appointed by President George W. Bush, ruled that the Dover school board's intelligent design (ID) policy violated the Establishment Clause, ID opponents were ecstatic. They had good reason to be. The opinion was a comprehensive and complete victory for ID opponents. The decision held that the policy was an unconstitutional endorsement of religion when viewed both from a reasonable Dover student's perspective as well as from the perspective of a reasonable adult in the Dover community. It also held that the policy was adopted for a religious purpose, …
Domestic Enforcement Of International Decisions – Remarks By Lori F. Damrosch, Lori Fisler Damrosch
Domestic Enforcement Of International Decisions – Remarks By Lori F. Damrosch, Lori Fisler Damrosch
Faculty Scholarship
I approach this topic first within the centennial framework, and then with attention to the Sanchez-Llamas and Bustillo cases just argued at the Supreme Court, as well as the Medellin case (pending in Texas) and other current problems.
Mexican Law, Michael W. Gordon
Mexican Law, Michael W. Gordon
UF Law Faculty Publications
The Herget-Camil book remained the sole overview of the Mexican legal system for two decades. In 1998, Professor Jorge A. Vargas of the University of San Diego began his series of volumes on Mexican Law: A Treatise for Legal Practitioners and International Investors, published by West. That series has proven to be very successful, serving well its intended audience — foreigners (non-Mexicans) engaging in transactions with Mexico. However, it was not intended to be an introduction to the Mexican legal system with regard to its history, culture, institutions, actors, procedure, rules or sources of law.
Now the gap is …
South Korea's National Security Law: A Tool Of Oppression In An Insecure World, Diane B. Kraft
South Korea's National Security Law: A Tool Of Oppression In An Insecure World, Diane B. Kraft
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
In September 2004, the ruling party in South Korea, along with two opposition parties, called for the abolishment of the 1948 anti-communist National Security Law. The following month, Amnesty International, a long-time critic of the law, officially called for the law's repeal. The law had been enacted in 1948 in response to threats from communist North Korea, but has long been used by the government to silence legitimate opposition in South Korea. This Comment will examine South Korea's National Security Law as viewed by its domestic supporters and critics, as well as by the international community. Part I will consider …
Champagne, Feta, And Bourbon: The Spirited Debate About Geographical Indications, Justin Hughes
Champagne, Feta, And Bourbon: The Spirited Debate About Geographical Indications, Justin Hughes
Articles
Geographical Indications (GIs) are terms for foodstuffs that are associated with certain geographical areas. The law of GIs is currently in a state of flux. Legal protection for GIs mandated in the TRIPS Agreement is implemented through appellations law in France and through certification mark systems in the United States and Canada. This Article first examines the state of GIs throughout the world. The author then turns to the continuing debate between the European Union and other industrialized economies over this unique form of intellectual property. The European Union claims that increasing GI protection would aid developing countries, but, in …
Lawyering Across Multiple Legal Orders – Rethinking Legal Education In Comparative And International Law, Katharina Pistor
Lawyering Across Multiple Legal Orders – Rethinking Legal Education In Comparative And International Law, Katharina Pistor
Faculty Scholarship
I appreciate the opportunity to briefly introduce a new course Columbia Law School is offering to first year students for the first time this spring semester. The course, which I will be co-teaching with my colleague George Bermann, is called "Lawyering in Multiple Legal Orders." The title reflects the basic "philosophy" of the course, namely that legal practitioners today will invariably work in more than one legal order. This notion is not unfamiliar to lawyers practicing in federal systems, such as the United States. By the end of the first semester students have a basic understanding of the federalist system …
Foreign Relations As A Matter Of Interpretation: The Use And Abuse Of Charming Betsy, Roger P. Alford
Foreign Relations As A Matter Of Interpretation: The Use And Abuse Of Charming Betsy, Roger P. Alford
Journal Articles
Charming Betsy is a canon of construction that construes legislative enactments consistent with the law of nations. This canon promotes the passive virtue of avoiding constitutional problems by eschewing potential international law violations through statutory interpretation, thereby enhancing the United States' performance in foreign affairs. As a rule of separation of powers, Charming Betsy helps explain how foreign relations concerns clarify the scope of legislative, executive, and judicial authority. But when advocates contend that the Constitution likewise should be read through the lens of Charming Betsy, they abuse the doctrine by ignoring its purpose. While structural guarantees that relate to …
Introduction: One Hundred Years Of International Law At Fordham University, William Michael Treanor
Introduction: One Hundred Years Of International Law At Fordham University, William Michael Treanor
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
In the past 100 years, the connotations of the term "international" have changed dramatically. The ideas we have of concepts such as "international communication" and "global travel" are dramatically different from what those concepts would have meant to our forebears - if they had even thought in such terms. But an international perspective is not new at Fordham Law School. The idea of the interconnectedness of our social and legal systems with those of other Nations is one of the foundational values of our school, and it has shaped our history since we opened our doors 100 years ago.

Rules Of Evidence For The Use Of Force In International Law's New Era, Mary Ellen O'Connell
Rules Of Evidence For The Use Of Force In International Law's New Era, Mary Ellen O'Connell
Journal Articles
International law is ready for a period of renewal in this post-post-modern era. I predict this renewal will come from reviving classical doctrines, such as the positive-law doctrine of sources, and from revisiting formalism. Such renewal will not be possible for the international law of evidence because there is no classical doctrine. Perhaps, as Charles Brower suggests, this is because of the differing civil and common law attitudes toward the rules of evidence, especially with respect to the burden of proof. It seems to me, however, that we need a law of evidence in international law, especially for the international …
China's Acquisitions Abroad - Global Ambitions, Domestic Effects, Nicholas C. Howson
China's Acquisitions Abroad - Global Ambitions, Domestic Effects, Nicholas C. Howson
Articles
In the past year or so, the world has observed with seeming trepidation what appears to be a new phenomenon-China's "stepping out" into the world economy. The move, labeled the "Going Out Strategy" by Chinese policy makers, sees China acting in the world not just as a trader of commodities and raw materials, or the provider of inexpensively-produced consumer goods for every corner of the globe, but as a driven and sophisticated acquirer of foreign assets and the equity interests in the legal entities that control such assets. The New Yorker magazine, ever topical and appropriately humorous, highlighted this attention …
Land Feuds And Their Solutions: Finding International Law Beyond The Tribunal Chamber, Steven R. Ratner
Land Feuds And Their Solutions: Finding International Law Beyond The Tribunal Chamber, Steven R. Ratner
Articles
The resolution of conflicting claims to land has long stood at the heart of the project of international law. Indeed, the encounter between the order envisaged by advocates of the law of nations and what Georges Scelle called the" obsession with territory" has been a defining struggle for our field, demonstrating to some its promise and to others its futility. Much, perhaps even most, legal scholarship on this subject over the last century has focused on adjudication by ad hoc tribunals or standing courts, in which jurists have derived and invoked hallowed principles that enabled them to draw lines-across mountains, …
