Not Fade Away: The International Criminal Court And The State Of Sovereignty, Jerry Fowler
Not Fade Away: The International Criminal Court And The State Of Sovereignty, Jerry Fowler
San Diego International Law Journal
Sovereignty concerns were central to the negotiations over the ICC Statute. To be sure, the future court will relate to individuals and States, as well as inter-governmental and non-governmental organizations, in a way that differs from the international institutions created at mid-century. But by designing an institution that must work through and with sovereign States in crucial aspects of its functioning, the ICC Statute presupposes the continued existence of a system based on sovereign States. The Statute's details reinforce the notion that "[d]irectly or indirectly, the entire edifice of international human-rights law is built on state sovereignty." Seen in this …

Interpreting Urugual Round Agreements Act Section 102(B)'S Safeguards For State Sovereignty: Reconciling Judicial Independence With The United States Trade Representative's Policy Expertise, Brandon Johnson
Michigan Journal of International Law
In this Note, I address the concerns of one aspect of this academic commentary-the claim that the WTO Agreement may cause a tectonic shift in domestic regulatory power, away from the states and toward the federal government and/or the WTO. I argue that while the concerns about the loss of national sovereignty are exaggerated, there is a very real threat to the sovereignty of the States. Congress was aware of this danger and included a variety of provisions designed specifically to protect state sovereignty from federal encroachment in the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA), the federal legislation incorporating the WTO …
[Introduction To] Uneven Ground: American Indian Sovereignty And Federal Law, David E. Wilkins, K. Tsianina Lomawaima
[Introduction To] Uneven Ground: American Indian Sovereignty And Federal Law, David E. Wilkins, K. Tsianina Lomawaima
Bookshelf
In the early 1970s, the federal government began recognizing self-determination for American Indian nations. As sovereign entities, Indian nations have been able to establish policies concerning health care, education, religious freedom, law enforcement, gaming, and taxation. Yet these gains have not gone unchallenged. Starting in the late 1980s, states have tried to regulate and profit from casino gambling on Indian lands. Treaty rights to hunt, fish, and gather remain hotly contested, and traditional religious practices have been denied protection. Tribal courts struggle with state and federal courts for jurisdiction. David E. Wilkins and K. Tsianina Lomawaima discuss how the political …
The Risks And Weaknesses Of The International Criminal Court From America’S Perspective, John R. Bolton
The Risks And Weaknesses Of The International Criminal Court From America’S Perspective, John R. Bolton
Law and Contemporary Problems
Bolton argues the US should raise its objections to the International Criminal Court (ICC) on every appropriate occasion, as part of its larger campaign to assert American interests against stifling, illegitimate, and unacceptable international agreements. The US has many alternative foreign policy instruments to utilize that are fully consistent with US interests, leaving the ICC to the obscurity it richly deserves.

A Framework Of Norms: International Human-Rights Law And Sovereignty, Douglass Cassel
A Framework Of Norms: International Human-Rights Law And Sovereignty, Douglass Cassel
Journal Articles
The international legal boundary between states; rights and human rights is not fixed. Long ago, the Permanent Court of International Justice - the judicial arm of the League of Nations and the precursor to the present International Court of Justice - recognized that "the question whether a certain matter is or is not solely within the jurisdiction of a State is an essentially relative question; it depends on the development of international relations." In recent decades international relations concerning both sovereignty and rights have developed quickly. An examination of those rights and the evolving realities of sovereignty are examined.

The Manipulation Of Indigenous Status: The Federal Government As Shape-Shifter, David E. Wilkins
Jepson School of Leadership Studies articles, book chapters and other publications
"The federal-Indian relationship is like no other in the world. Indian tribes are denominated 'domestic-dependent nations' but their practical relationship with the United States 'resembles that of a ward to his guardian.' Indian tribes appear to have the same political status as the independent states of San Marino, Monaco, and Liechtenstein, yet they have little real self-government and seem to be forever mired in a state of political and economic pupilage."
This fifteen-year-old statement from Vine Deloria, Jr., the preeminent Indian political and legal scholar, still accurately reflects the convoluted nature of indigenous political, legal, and economic statuses in the …
