The American Challenge To International Law: A Tentative Framework For Debate, Harlan G. Cohen Jul 2003

The American Challenge To International Law: A Tentative Framework For Debate, Harlan G. Cohen

Scholarly Works

The United States often appears hypocritical in its commitment to International Law. It supports Nuremberg, Yugoslavia, and Rwandan tribunals, but opposes the International Criminal Court. It supports the creation of the United Nations, but seeks unilateral action in Iraq. This Essay explores these seeming contradictions in American stances toward international law. It argues that while such apparent hypocrisy might be explained by mere pragmatism, ideas prevalent in American foreign policy history seem to point in a more dangerous direction, that such divergent actions may actually be informed by a coherent, specifically American conception of international law. In particular, this Essay …

Trademarks Under The North American Free Trade Agreement (Nafta) With References To The New Trademark Law Of Spain, Effective July 31, 2002, And The Current Mexican Law, Roberto Rosas

Faculty Articles

A trademark is any distinctive sign indicating that certain products or services have been manufactured or rendered by a specific person or company. This concept is currently recognized worldwide; however, the origin of trademarks dates back to antiquity when artisans placed their signatures or “marks” on their products containing an artistic or utilitarian element. Through time, these marks have evolved to such an extent that today, a reliable and efficient system for their registration and protection has been established. Besides protecting owners of trademarks, this system also helps consumers identify and purchase goods or services, which, because of the essence …

International Treaty Internalization In Mexico: Problems And Prospects, Erica B. Schommer May 2003

International Treaty Internalization In Mexico: Problems And Prospects, Erica B. Schommer

Faculty Articles

This study seeks to explore how Mexico can close the gap between domestic law and international human rights treaty norms by examining the process of norm internalization. In order to do so, the case of Mexico is compared with other countries in an effort to try and determine what factors increase the likelihood of successful norm internalization.

Who Owns The Rules Of War? The War In Iraq Demands A Rethinking Of The International Rules Of Conduct, Kenneth Anderson Apr 2003

Who Owns The Rules Of War? The War In Iraq Demands A Rethinking Of The International Rules Of Conduct, Kenneth Anderson

Popular Media

The war in Iraq requires a rethinking of the rules of conduct in war, international humanitarian law. The nature of asymmetric warfare in the conflict has turned out to be less a question of technological disparities than the weaker side turning to systematic violations of the laws of war as its method. Over time, we risk creating an international system in which it is tacitly assumed and permitted that the weaker side fight using systematic violations of the law as its method. Part of this trend arises from the biases of 1977 Protocol I which blessed activities of irregular forces …

A Solution To The Yahoo! Problem? The Ec E-Commerce Directive As A Model For International Cooperation On Internet Choice Of Law, Mark F. Kightlinger Apr 2003

A Solution To The Yahoo! Problem? The Ec E-Commerce Directive As A Model For International Cooperation On Internet Choice Of Law, Mark F. Kightlinger

Law Faculty Scholarly Articles

In May 2000, a French court decided that a French law banning the display of Nazi materials for sale applies to an auction website hosted by the California-based company Yahoo! Inc. The following year, at the request of Yahoo! Inc., a U.S. District Court declared that the French judgment was unenforceable in the United States because enforcing it would violate an important public policy-the First Amendment. These two cases have attracted considerable attention because they crystallize a difficult problem. The Internet is global. Every website potentially reaches every home on the planet. Thus, website content or activity that may be …

Between Reality And Rhetoric: The Epistemic Schism In The Recognition Of Traditional Medicine In International Law, Chidi Oguamanam Jan 2003

Between Reality And Rhetoric: The Epistemic Schism In The Recognition Of Traditional Medicine In International Law, Chidi Oguamanam

St. Thomas Law Review

This article is divided into five parts. The foregoing Part I, a brief introduction, highlights a few contemporary policy issues in the discourse about TM in international law and public health arenas. It identifies the epistemic schism between TM and the allopathic system as being at the root of the grandiose policy of integrating TM into national health systems. Premised on a multi-juridical framework, Part II examines select international legal and quasi-legal instruments, and probes the extent to which they make provisions for the protection of TM. Part III evaluates the international policy regime on TM, specifically as championed by …

China's Legal System And The Wto: Prospects For Compliance, Donald C. Clarke Jan 2003

China's Legal System And The Wto: Prospects For Compliance, Donald C. Clarke

GW Law Faculty Publications & Other Works

The impact of WTO membership both on China and its trading partners, both for good and for ill, has been greatly overstated. WTO treaty obligations and Dispute Settlement Body rulings will not become part of Chinese domestic unless specifically incorporated by Chinese legislation. Moreover, the WTO does not require a perfect legal system of its members; instead, it requires a degree of transparency and fairness in certain limited areas. Although some of China's WTO commitments will be difficult for it to fulfill, even non-fulfillment will not result in the predicted flood of WTO dispute settlement proceedings, since such proceedings can …


The Impact Of Economic Globalization On Compliance, Dinah L. Shelton Jan 2003

The Impact Of Economic Globalization On Compliance, Dinah L. Shelton

GW Law Faculty Publications & Other Works

The introductory chapter of this book begins by defining globalization and the novel notion of the “common concern of humanity” and describes the ethical, cultural, and economic considerations underlying protection of the biosphere. The chapter describes the evolution of the common concern of humanity in depth and describes the increased presence of international organizations. Next, the chapter introduces the Marrakesh Charter and its corresponding economic principles. The chapter concludes that there exists the need to create an international liability system for both states and individuals for environmental degradation caused by international trade.

Against Principled Antitrust, Edward T. Swaine Jan 2003

Against Principled Antitrust, Edward T. Swaine

GW Law Faculty Publications & Other Works

Competition policy is on the WTO agenda for the Doha Round, but it is unlikely that it will result in any substantive international standards; the goal, instead, seems to be to agree on core principles to guide the development of national law, including transparency, non-discrimination, and procedural fairness, perhaps extending to special and differential treatment for developing countries. While there is much to commend these principles, this paper takes a deliberately contrarian view, arguing that core principles are not at all where WTO competition policy should begin. It further disputes the appropriateness of applying an emerging meta-principle of the WTO …


Democrativ Principles And Separatist Claims: A Response And Further Inquiry, Diane Orentlicher Jan 2003

Democrativ Principles And Separatist Claims: A Response And Further Inquiry, Diane Orentlicher

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

Donald Horowitz has grounds for concern about legal innovations that may provide fresh inspiration to separatist movements. It is baffling, however, that he attributes proseparatist views to me. I will try here to clarify the principal sources of misunderstanding and hope, along the way, to deepen our consideration of issues that are well worth further exploration.
