Identity, Conflict And Cooperation In International River Basins, Jack V. Kalpakian
Identity, Conflict And Cooperation In International River Basins, Jack V. Kalpakian
Graduate Program in International Studies Theses & Dissertations
This dissertation tests the hypothesis that water disputes cause serious conflict within and between states. It uses a structured case study approach to see whether there is a link between the independent and dependent variables. It also considers the effect of other variables on serious conflict. Specifically it addresses the effects of national identity and the othering process on conflict. The three case studies are built around rivers in the drier parts of the world. This biases the dissertation towards affirming the established mainstream hypothesis which states that water disputes cause serious conflict. In all three cases, historical animosities and …
Law And The Sexual Subaltern: A Comparative Perspective , Ratna Kapur
Law And The Sexual Subaltern: A Comparative Perspective , Ratna Kapur
Cleveland State Law Review
I am entering this conversation as a comparativist who wants to complicate the received wisdom about India in the West in regard to matters of sex, desire and the law. I want to address three issues:* First, how sex generally and alternative sexuality more specifically, are emerging as zones of contest in the legal arena and are simultaneously cast as cultural controversies in post-colonial India.* Second, I address how sexual subalterns, that is, gays, lesbians and sexworkers, are challenging dominant sexual and cultural norms.* And finally, I examine why a project of pleasure and desire is an important political goal …

Dowry Deaths: Proposing A Standard For Implementation Of Domestic Legislation In Accordance With Human Rights Obligations, Namratha S. Ravikant
Dowry Deaths: Proposing A Standard For Implementation Of Domestic Legislation In Accordance With Human Rights Obligations, Namratha S. Ravikant
Michigan Journal of Gender & Law
This article discusses the due diligence standard of governmental responsibility, and measures the adequacy of India's implementation of its national dowry death legislation in accordance with its international human rights obligations. India has enacted legislation designed to combat dowry violence. Although India's laws seem to follow the letter of its international human rights obligations, the country violates the spirit of human rights by lacking an actual commitment to implement this legislation. This Article demonstrates and examines India's breach of its duty of due diligence. Such a breach constitutes government complicity in condoning and perpetuating dowry deaths, which violate women's human …
Race, Class, Caste…? Rethinking Affirmative Action, Clark D. Cunningham, N.R. Madhava Menon
Race, Class, Caste…? Rethinking Affirmative Action, Clark D. Cunningham, N.R. Madhava Menon
Michigan Law Review
Many who oppose affirmative action programs in the United States because they use "racial" categories such as black, African American, or Latino, claim that equally effective and more equitable programs can be developed using only class categories, such as "low income." A key test case for the "race v. class" debate is admission to law schools, made urgent by recent legal prohibitions on the use of "race" in the admission procedures to state universities in California, Washington, and Texas. An empirical study by Linda Wightman, the former director of research for the Law School Admissions Council (LSAC), has shown that …
Affirmative Action, Caste, And Cultural Comparisons, Cass R. Sunstein
Affirmative Action, Caste, And Cultural Comparisons, Cass R. Sunstein
Michigan Law Review
What is permitted, and what is prohibited, by the equality principle of a liberal democracy? Does affirmative action run afoul of that principle? And where should we look to answer these questions? Many critics of affirmative action take it as axiomatic that affirmative action violates the equality principle. But this is far from clear. Every law classifies. The current law of equality itself classifies by, for example, treating discrimination on the basis of race differently from discrimination on the basis of age. No one thinks that the law of equality is, for this reason, inconsistent with the Equal Protection Clause. …

The Fundamentalist Face Of Secularism And Its Impact On Women's Rights In India, Joseph C. Hostetler-Baker & Hostetler Lecture, Ratna Kapur
Cleveland State Law Review
I am going to talk about three things today: The first is to give you a very brief account of the competing understandings of secularism that have emerged in India. I look at the model of secularism that is being promoted by the Hindu Right and the validation this has received from the electorate, but more importantly, the Supreme Court. Secondly, I will address why the wall of separation does not provide a way out of the crisis of secularism in India and how it has not solved the problem of majoritarianism even in the American context. And finally, how …

Judicial Complicity With Communal Violence In India, Sara Ahmad
Judicial Complicity With Communal Violence In India, Sara Ahmad
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
Communal violence - or violence between groups which define themselves by their differences from each other' - is one of the fore- most human rights problems today.2 But the violence of the past 20 years differs from that of previous decades. Responsibility for current sectarian violence lies not with specific extremist groups but with gov- ernments which leverage inter-group hatred to gain power.3 Such sys- temic sources of communal violence threaten basic principles of democratic government and non-discrimination.4 Present-day communal violence originates in identity politics.5 Identity politics stress the group nature of rights, experience and iden- tity, whether based on …

The Kashmir Dispute: A Plan For Regional Cooperation, Ali Khan
The Kashmir Dispute: A Plan For Regional Cooperation, Ali Khan
Ali Khan
India and Pakistan should negotiate to convert the existing line of control into a permanent international border, and hold an internationally supervised plebescite in the Kashmir Valley to grant the people the right of self-determination. This solution is more appealing in the context of building a regional community. If the idea of regional community is taken seriously, the Kashmir dispute would require a new meaning. Instead of fighting over it, India and Pakistan may designate Kashmir as the first cooperative zone in the new subcontinent.

Dowry Death: A Violation Of The Right To Life Under Article Six Of The International Covenant On Civil And Political Rights, Angela K. Carlson-Whitley
Dowry Death: A Violation Of The Right To Life Under Article Six Of The International Covenant On Civil And Political Rights, Angela K. Carlson-Whitley
Seattle University Law Review
By failing to effectively prevent dowry deaths, India, as a party to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), violates the "right to life" as expressed in Article 6(1) and protected by Article 2. Part II of this Comment describes the phenomenon of dowry death generally and explains the origins of dowry and its relatively recent transformation into a means of extortion by the groom and his family. In addition, this Part examines the laws enacted by India in response to the growing incidence of dowry deaths. Finally, Part II explains why these positive laws fail to solve …

Alive And Kicking: The Kashmir Dispute Forty Years Later, James D. Howley
Penn State International Law Review
This Comment begins with an examination of the roots of the conflict: Kashmir's economy, geography, predominantly Moslem population and Hindu ruler. It will then look at the dispute over Kashmir's accession to India and obligations resulting from United Nations involvement in the dispute. This Comment will focus on the important role the policies and practices of India and Pakistan have played in the development of events, and the part these elements must play in arriving at a solution.
Domestic Violence Against Women: A Comparative Analysis Of Remedies Under The American And Indian Legal Systems, Anita Elizabeth Jacob Ninan
Domestic Violence Against Women: A Comparative Analysis Of Remedies Under The American And Indian Legal Systems, Anita Elizabeth Jacob Ninan
LLM Theses and Essays
The purpose of this thesis is to compare the legal remedies available to women who are the victims of domestic violence in the United States and India and analyze whether the existing laws in the two systems are effective and sufficient in combating this growing problem. Domestic violence against women is a reality. It haunts the female species form the cradle to the grave, manifesting itself in sociocultural crime peculiar to some societies like India, such as female feticide, female infanticide, bride burning dowry deaths, and wife battering (both a developing country like India and an economically developed country like …
The Uncertain Promise Of Law: Lessons From Bhopal, Jamie Cassels
The Uncertain Promise Of Law: Lessons From Bhopal, Jamie Cassels
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
This paper describes the course of the litigation following the Bhopal disaster. It begins with a brief description of the various failures in risk assessment and management that gave rise to the hazardous conditions in Bhopal, and then describes in more detail the resulting legal proceedings. Specifying a number of modest criteria against which the success of the litigation can be measured, the paper examines why traditional tort processes are unlikely to succeed in the case of mass hazards. The paper describes and analyzes a number of significant reforms forged by the Indian courts in response to the Bhopal disaster, …
Child Welfare Legislation In India: Will Indian Children Benefit From The United Nations Convention On The Rights Of The Child, Shahana Dasgupta
Child Welfare Legislation In India: Will Indian Children Benefit From The United Nations Convention On The Rights Of The Child, Shahana Dasgupta
Michigan Journal of International Law
The subject of children's rights has been dealt with both directly and indirectly in a number of international legal instruments over the years. Initially, there were differences concerning the need for a Convention over and above the already existing legislation. Some countries felt that children should not be treated as a category set apart from other human beings and thereby be the object of a separate legal document. On the other hand, countries in favor of a Convention wanted to create a single legal instrument which would take into account children's requirements on a universal scale. They also saw the …
Legal Aid, Public Service And Clinical Legal Education: Future Directions From India And The United States, Frank S. Bloch, Iqbal S. Ishar
Legal Aid, Public Service And Clinical Legal Education: Future Directions From India And The United States, Frank S. Bloch, Iqbal S. Ishar
Michigan Journal of International Law
In this article, the legal aid traditions and broader public service agendas of clinical legal education in both countries are explored. These sections are followed by a comparison of the legal aid and public service components of the clinical curriculum in the two countries. It is observed that while clinical programs in the United States have tended to shift their focus away from legal aid and public service goals to broader academic and educational goals consistent with the integration of clinical legal education into the law school mainstream, clinical programs in India have remained firmly rooted in and closely tied …

English Common Law And Islamic Law In The Middle East And South Asia: Religious Influences And Secularization, Herbert Liebesny
English Common Law And Islamic Law In The Middle East And South Asia: Religious Influences And Secularization, Herbert Liebesny
Cleveland State Law Review
In England, during the first half of the seventeenth century a serious conflict having both legal and political implications arose concerning the Royal Prerogative. King James I insisted upon the Royal Prerogative, which placed the King above the law and gave him absolute power. Sir Edward Coke, on his part, argues that the common law was above the King's Prerogative. This led to a violent clash between Coke and the King in November 1608. A general discussion of the further development of common law and of the decisive role of Parliament is beyond the framework of this Article. One aspect, …
Transitional Legal Practice And Professional Ideology, Bryant G. Garth
Transitional Legal Practice And Professional Ideology, Bryant G. Garth
Michigan Journal of International Law
This essay assumes that there are three other reasons for studying transnational legal practice. First, such a study provides a way to explore some of the dilemmas that we often overlook about our domestic legal system. In both the domestic and transnational legal settings we are uncomfortable with the idea of law as "merely a business"; troubled by the invasion of "legality" into domains that once had seemed immune from state regulation; wary of the expense of "mega" law and litigation; reticent about a "total justice" which is expected to compensate individual victims of every unpleasant social accident; and nervous …

China's Use Of International Law In Border Disputes: The Cases Of India And The Soviet Union, Larry R. Schreiter
China's Use Of International Law In Border Disputes: The Cases Of India And The Soviet Union, Larry R. Schreiter
IUSTITIA
Despite American "containment" in the fifties and sixties, China was nevertheless a major actor on the international scene. The loci of China's practice of international politics ranged from the Bandung Conference to its ideological foray into European politics following the Hungarian rebellion in 1956. Along with this activism in the international environment, China turned her attention in the late fifties to the question of gaining mutual agreements with her neighbors on the delineation and regulation of the boundaries. This concern brought about some marked changes in bilateral foreign policy, and required dealings of both an ideological as well as technical …
