Feminism, Globalization And Culture: After Beijing, L. Amede Obiora

Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies

In this article, Professor Obiora begins with the premise that the

credibility of traditional legal frameworks has eroded, because the law

remains unable to relieve the oppressions and polarization between cultures,

even in the wake of global institutional transformations that seem to help the

oppressed, particularly women. Professor Obiora offers the Beijing Platform

for Action as a radical new solution for human rights protection, radical in

that it is one of the first declaratives to transcend the previous dichotomy of

issues among women by expressing a commitment to a global framework in

which to address these issues, particularly the feminization …

Attaining Systems For Sustainability Through Environmental Law, Nicholas A. Robinson

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

Five years have passed since the historic Earth Summit. Although significant progress has been made since Rio, much remains to be done. Poverty and environment degradation continue to affect the lives of millions of people in many parts of the world. Global warming, the loss of biological diversity, the spread of deserts, deforestation, the crisis in many of our cities remind us every day of the challenges which confront us. The unsustainable patterns of consumption and production continue to be the major cause of environmental degradation worldwide. This is therefore not an occasion for complacency or mindless celebration. It is, …

Science And International Regulatory Convergence, Jeffery Atik

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

National regulation is frequently premised on scientific assump- tions; much of regulatory design is based on scientific findings. Con- sumer product, food and drug and workplace safety standards all depend on a scientific assessment of the risks faced by the public and of the efficacy of an adopted measure in addressing these risks. Build- ing codes, waste disposal protocols and mandated immunization of school children all proceed from the technical recommendations of the scientific community. In current Western society, a regulatory measure lacking a scien- tific basis will be subject to criticism and perhaps ridicule; it may be struck down …

Accountability And International Lawmaking: Rules, Rents And Legitimacy, Paul B. Stephan

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

The domain of legal rules laid down by international bodies has grown enormously. Laws that have an international source influence a far larger portion of the world's commerce today than they did sixty or even twenty years ago. The enhanced significance and conse- quences of these laws raises an important question: What safeguards do we employ to increase the chances that they will do some good? More specifically, what processes hold international lawmakers ac- countable for their decisions?

Foundation-Building For Western Hemispheric Integration, Frederick M. Abbott

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

The United States is embarked upon an ambitious program of western hemispheric economic integration about which its domestic body politic is decidedly ambivalent. The process in which the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was approved in 1993 re- vealed deep divisions between the major political parties and their various interest group constituencies concerning the appropriate scope of an economic integration agenda. The Mexican peso crisis that began in December 1994 provoked a deep crisis of confidence regarding Mexico's readiness to participate in a mature economic partnership with the United States and Canada. Subsequent revela- tions relating to corruption infecting …

Dispute Resolution As A Catalyst For Economic Integration And An Agent For Deepening Integration: Nafta And Mercosur?, Cherie O'Neal Taylor

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

An economic integration arrangement between nations cannot exist without the creation of the necessary institutions. Any free trade, customs union or common market agreement1 must have, at a minimum, political institutions and a dispute settlement mechanism. The political institutions are necessary to allow the countries to reach decisions about how to implement the treaty obligations and objec- tives and to oversee that implementation. The dispute settlement mechanism is needed to resolve disputes that may arise over the meaning and application of the agreement's legal obligations and objectives. A dispute settlement mechanism is crucial to the viability of an economic integration …
