Falling Stars And Sinking Ships: How Article Vii Of The Outer Space Treaty Needs Maritime Law, Mckenzie Franck
Falling Stars And Sinking Ships: How Article Vii Of The Outer Space Treaty Needs Maritime Law, Mckenzie Franck
Pace International Law Review
The urge to go where no man has gone before has led to great leaps in space technology that only seemed real in cinema. As more private companies, such as private asteroid mining companies in China, attempt to take this leap, it has become clear that there are significant gaps in international space law regarding liability with private parties. Within Article VII of the Outer Space Treaty, there is a laid-out structure on how states can be held liable for damages caused by celestial bodies. However, the Outer Space Treaty ignores what happens if a private company causes injuries in …

Long Live Joint Criminal Enterprise: With A Particular Reference To Tadić’S Interactive Construction Between “The Beast” And Specific Direction, Miguel Ângelo Loureiro Manero De Lemos
Long Live Joint Criminal Enterprise: With A Particular Reference To Tadić’S Interactive Construction Between “The Beast” And Specific Direction, Miguel Ângelo Loureiro Manero De Lemos
San Diego International Law Journal
The idea that Joint Criminal Enterprise, in particular its extended version, contravenes fundamental principles of criminal law has gained track. Thus, not only did the International Criminal Court distance itself from the construct but, today, the widely held view is that the extended version should be discarded, not least because it is not grounded in customary international law. This Article challenges that view. While addressing scholarly criticism towards Joint Criminal Enterprise, and demonstrating why the “beast” is a solid construction, it argues that prosecutors and judges must look past the written provisions of the Statute of the International Criminal Court …
‘I Will Control Your Mind’: The International Regulation Of Brain-Hacking, Thibault Moulin
‘I Will Control Your Mind’: The International Regulation Of Brain-Hacking, Thibault Moulin
San Diego International Law Journal
In the near future, the use of neurotechnologies—like brain-computer interfaces and brain stimulation—could become widespread. It will not only be used to help persons with disabilities or illness, but also by members of the armed forces and in everyday life (e.g., for entertainment and gaming). However, recent studies suggested that it is possible to hack into neural devices to obtain information, inflict pain, induce mood change, or influence movements. This Article anticipates three scenarios which may be challenging in the future—i.e., brain hacking for the purpose of reading thoughts, remotely controlling someone, and inflicting pain or death—and assesses their compliance …

Where The Rainbow Ends: The Hidden Humanitarian Crisis For Members Of The Lgbtqia+ Community In International Business, John R. Krendel
Senior Honors Projects, 2020-current
Before pursuing an international career, members of the LGBTQIA+ community must be aware of the hardship that may be exacerbated by living and working abroad. This study addresses the trends in laws, including employment and anti-discrimination laws, that provide and restrict certain rights of members of the LGBTQIA+ community in eight countries. These nations, both progressive and discriminatory, include the United States, England, Switzerland, Germany, Taiwan, China, the Philippines and Kazakhstan. Eight LGBTQIA+ business professionals spoke on their experiences living and working in each of these countries and provided advice to members of the community wishing to pursue an international …

The Center for the Human Rights of Children, in collaboration with Kids in Need of Defense (KIND) and the Young Center for Immigrant Children’s Rights (“Young Center”) submits this input in response to the call for submissions made by the Special Rapporteur on the Human Rights of Migrants to inform the forthcoming report to the 50th session of the Human Rights Council regarding the United States’ current border management policies that aim to prevent migration atthe southern border. This input will focus on United States’ push back methods, namely the recently reimplemented Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) otherwise known as “Remain …
Recognizing A Fundamental Right To A Clean Environment: Why The Juliana Court Got It Wrong And How To Address The Issue Moving Forward, Robert Kemper
Recognizing A Fundamental Right To A Clean Environment: Why The Juliana Court Got It Wrong And How To Address The Issue Moving Forward, Robert Kemper
FIU Law Review
As the existential threat of climate change becomes increasingly prevalent, U.S. plaintiffs, lawyers, and activists have begun seeking redress in federal courts arguing for recognition of a constitutional right to a clean environment. Recently, in Juliana v. United States, the Ninth Circuit explicitly recognized the grave threat of climate change for the health, well-being, and security of the American people and the nation as a whole. Additionally, the court found that the U.S. government has contributed to climate change through both inaction and policy decisions that promote the use of fossil fuels. The plaintiffs claimed that they had a constitutional …

The Security Council Powers In Light Of The Peremptory Norms Doctrine, Mohammed Khalil Al Mousa
The Security Council Powers In Light Of The Peremptory Norms Doctrine, Mohammed Khalil Al Mousa
UAEU Law Journal
The main objective of this article is the limitations of the Security Council powers regarding its primary responsibility of maintaining international peace and security. The current article focuses on the possibility of applying the jus cogens norms doctrine (peremptory norms) to the Security Council decisions adopted in accordance with chapter vii of the United Nations charter. International peremptory norms are applied to international agreements and treaties, and this research proposes to extend the application of these norms to the Security Council decisions. If one of these decisions was in conflict with international peremptory norms, it will be void ab initio …
The International Protection Of Water And Water Resources In Times Of Armed Conflict, Rokaya Awasharih
The International Protection Of Water And Water Resources In Times Of Armed Conflict, Rokaya Awasharih
UAEU Law Journal
International and non- international armed conflicts have witnessed the use of water as a weapon in order to reverse the battle balance by combating parties. Aggressive acts were turned towards water resources and its equipment. Therefore, dams, water reservoirs, and energy generation centres were attacked. Besides water resources were poisoned by throwing cadavers in rivers and lakes which has led to a number of dead. This latter has surpassed the one killed in fighting acts.
So we will try through this study to shed light on the protection systems designed for water and water resources during armed conflict. We will …
Internet Law, Taleb Hassan Musa, Omar Mahmoud Aamer
Internet Law, Taleb Hassan Musa, Omar Mahmoud Aamer
UAEU Law Journal
This paper aims to illustrate the basis of cyberspace law and its potential environment. Indeed, the laws governing the cyberspace are still premature at both national and international levels. This is due to the undefined nature of cyber borders that globalize the Internet in contradiction with the geographic borders. Hence, individual countries are losing part of their sovereignty as result of globalization of the internet to a point it is becoming a borderless space with no laws and regulations. This urges to agree on new international legislations to handle any acts that are not confined by geographical borders or any …
International Cooperation In Combating Modern Forms Of Maritime Piracy, Hanan Malaeb
International Cooperation In Combating Modern Forms Of Maritime Piracy, Hanan Malaeb
UAEU Law Journal
Maritime piracy has increased since 2008, posing a real threat to the international peace and security. Therefore, many voices criticized the international legal legislations related to maritime piracy and accused them of being incapable of dealing with this widening phenomenon, being very limited to a few articles contained in the United Nations Convention for the law of seas of 1982. That criticism necessitated to study all the international legislations related to piracy, which were issued before and after 2008. As a result, we noticed that all the international conventions related to the sea and the international resolutions issued by the …
The Fsia And Cyberspace: Could Hact Be The Answer?, Ritika Malkani
The Fsia And Cyberspace: Could Hact Be The Answer?, Ritika Malkani
Catholic University Journal of Law and Technology
Under the non-commercial tort exception to the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act (FSIA), a tort committed by a foreign state must occur wholly within the United States in order to trigger jurisdiction and liability in an American court. As such, cybercrimes which are committed abroad, even if targeted at and cause harm to U.S. citizens, fall outside this exception, leaving injured parties with no domestic avenue of redress. Potential solutions to closing this gap in the legal framework include the proposed Homeland and Cyber Threat Act (HACT), expansion of the FSIA's terrorism exception, or overruling the entire tort doctrine.
Indigenous Rights In International Law: A Focus On Extraction In The Arctic, Aine Healey Lawlor
Indigenous Rights In International Law: A Focus On Extraction In The Arctic, Aine Healey Lawlor
Honors Projects
This paper seeks to evaluate the evolution and future of Indigenous rights in extractive industry on a global scale and uses the Arctic both to explore the complexity of these rights and to provide paths forward in advancing Indigenous self-determination. Indigenous rights lack a strong international foundation and are often dependent upon local and domestic regimes, yet this reality is currently shifting. The state of extraction internationally, particularly in the Arctic, is also facing major uncertainty in the coming decades as demand continues to rise. Indigenous rights and the rules governing extractive industry intersect because much of the world’s remaining …
Decolonizing Indigenous Migration, Angela R. Riley, Kristen A. Carpenter
Decolonizing Indigenous Migration, Angela R. Riley, Kristen A. Carpenter
Publications
As global attention turns increasingly to issues of migration, the Indigenous identity of migrants often remains invisible. At the U.S.-Mexico border, for example, a significant number of the individuals now being detained are people of indigenous origin, whether Kekchi, Mam, Achi, Ixil, Awakatek, Jakaltek or Qanjobal, coming from communities in Venezuela, Honduras, Guatemala and other countries. They may be leaving their homelands precisely because their rights as Indigenous Peoples, for example the right to occupy land collectively and without forcible removal, have been violated. But once they reach the United States, they are treated as any other migrants, without regard …
Family Law Disputes Between International Couples In U.S. Courts, Rhonda Wasserman
Family Law Disputes Between International Couples In U.S. Courts, Rhonda Wasserman
Articles
Increasing mobility, migration, and growing numbers of international couples give rise to a host of family law issues. For instance, when marital partners are citizens of different countries, or live outside the country of which they are citizens, or move between countries, courts must first determine if they have jurisdiction to hear divorce or child custody actions. Given that countries around the world are governed by different legal regimes, such as the common law system, civil codes, religious law, and customary law, choice of law questions also complicate family litigation. This short article addresses the jurisdictional and other conflicts issues …

Biodiversity Impacts Of Investment And Free Trade Agreements, Lee C. Rarrick
Biodiversity Impacts Of Investment And Free Trade Agreements, Lee C. Rarrick
Pace Environmental Law Review
The following Article identifies the myriad ways in which international investment and free trade agreements interact with biodiversity. It categorizes these interactions into three main groups and provides a literature review of the various real-world and policy impacts. The first part analyses arbitration procedures in these agreements that investors and trade partners can invoke to protect their economic expectations from otherwise proper State action, including regulation that is intended to promote biodiversity. The next part evaluates biodiversity provisions that are included directly in the free trade and investment agreements themselves, or in side agreements thereto. Some of these provisions reference …

Presidential Use Of Force In East Asia: American Constitutional Law And The U.S.-Japan Alliance, Matthew C. Waxman
Presidential Use Of Force In East Asia: American Constitutional Law And The U.S.-Japan Alliance, Matthew C. Waxman
Faculty Scholarship
The U.S. Constitution’s allocation of military authority has adapted over time to major shifts in American power and grand strategy. This paper explains, with a focus on U.S. military actions in East Asia and possible scenarios of special joint concern to the United States and Japan, that the president in practice wields tremendous power and discretion in using military force. Although formal, legal checks on the president’s use of force rarely come into play, Congress nevertheless retains some political power to influence presidential decision-making. The president’s powers are also constrained by interagency processes within the executive branch, and alliance relations …

The Emperor’S New Clothes: The Variety Of Stakeholders In Climate Change Regulation Assuming The Mantle Of Federal And International Authority, Linda A. Malone
The Emperor’S New Clothes: The Variety Of Stakeholders In Climate Change Regulation Assuming The Mantle Of Federal And International Authority, Linda A. Malone
Linda A. Malone
In June 2017, President Donald Trump announced the United States would be withdrawing from the Paris Climate Accord. President Trump believes the United States should be more focused on its economic wellbeing than on environmental concerns. Since being elected, President Trump has, with the help of the Environmental Protection Agency, been rolling back, or attempting to roll back, major climate change regulations. However, this Article points out that due to factors such as international law, the United States Constitution, and the Administrative Procedure Act, one cannotjust simply withdraw from an international agreement, such as the Paris Accord, or take back …
The Semisecret Life Of Late Mao-Era International Law Scholarship, James D. Fry, Huang Yining
The Semisecret Life Of Late Mao-Era International Law Scholarship, James D. Fry, Huang Yining
Pace Law Review
This Article is delimited by a focus on international law scholarship during the late Mao era, not on the PRC’s actual approach to or pronouncements on international law, mainly in order to respond directly to the assertion of U.S.-based international law scholars on late Mao-era scholarship. Of course, considerable ambiguity surrounds what constitutes scholarly work; no legal or even consensus definition generally exists. To be clear, definitions might exist in specific contexts such as the Foreign Agents Registration Act (“FARA”) of the United States, which prohibits foreign lobbying except for “bonafide religious, scholastic, academic or scientific pursuits or the fine …
International Prison Standards And Transnational Criminal Justice, Dirk Van Zyl Smit
International Prison Standards And Transnational Criminal Justice, Dirk Van Zyl Smit
UC Irvine Journal of International, Transnational, and Comparative Law
Prison standards are an important element of transnational criminal
justice. This Article shows how legal standards governing prison conditions
emerged at the international and regional levels and considers how,
increasingly, they have gained legitimacy. It then describes how these
standards are applied in a way that contributes to a recognizable
transnational legal order in respect of prison conditions, which has real
impact at the national level. The Article pays close attention to the transfer
of prisoners between states, as a mechanism that operates transnationally
and, in the process, enhances the importance of international prison
standards. It concludes that the benefits …
Gdpr Compliance—It Takes A Village, Susy Mendoza
Gdpr Compliance—It Takes A Village, Susy Mendoza
Seattle University Law Review
When the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into effect in May of 2018, many legal departments were confronted with the gravity of just how they were going to comply with such a wide-reaching law. If you have international customers (both direct to consumer or business to business), it is not hard to convince your general counsel that compliance with the GDPR is a must. You may even be able to get the chief technical officer (CTO) or chief operating officer (COO) onboard just by mentioning the steep fines—two to four percent of worldwide gross revenue. But how does the …
