Politik Hukum Dalam Penegakan Hukum Di Indonesia, Anita Anita
"Dharmasisya” Jurnal Program Magister Hukum FHUI
Law is a guide and rules related to the concept of social life and will always be in accordance with the conditions of society. Law is a demand to be able to provide justice, meaning that the law is always faced with the question of whether the law can bring about justice. In relation to the legal concept, legal politics is defined as an activity that determines the patterns and methods of shaping law, supervises the operation of the law, and reforms the law for the purposes of the State. Therefore, law is a determinant of politics, and is also …
Theorizing Responsibility In The Investor State Dispute Resolution System, Kristen Boon
Theorizing Responsibility In The Investor State Dispute Resolution System, Kristen Boon
St. John's Law Review
(Excerpt)
The Investor-State Dispute System (“ISDS”) permits investors to sue states when their investments are injured. The system was designed to protect investors and impose responsibilities on states; it is uncontroversial to say that the ISDS system is one-sided. But a chorus of voices is now asking: should investors have responsibilities too? The narrative is one of injustice, driven by the perception that states have signed on to a system that has left them with large financial exposure to investors. This viewpoint has been reinforced, in the eyes of some, by the influence of big business, and by state losses …
Is Israel A Democratic State Which Preserves International Law As A Law? International Law As Criterion For The Practice Of Democracy, Medwis Fallah Al-Rashidi
Is Israel A Democratic State Which Preserves International Law As A Law? International Law As Criterion For The Practice Of Democracy, Medwis Fallah Al-Rashidi
UAEU Law Journal
At this stage of internationalsocialdevelopment, the answer to the aforementioned question cannot be provided solely by municipallaw. Internationallawand its rules must provide some of the answers. Some of these rules, which have been adopted from municipallaw, namely "the principle of democracy", which is one of generalprinciples oflawhas been embodied in Article 38 of the ICJ's Statute as a source of internationallaw.
The principle of democracy, as a generalprinciple oflaw, has the same implication and application in the two systems of municipaland internationallaw. The preservation of the principle of democracy in one system by a state leads inevitably to the preservation …
The Legal Regulation Of Humanitarian Relief Actions In Armed Conflicts, Wael Allam
The Legal Regulation Of Humanitarian Relief Actions In Armed Conflicts, Wael Allam
UAEU Law Journal
Armed conflict is one of the main causes of humanitarian disasters which may result in the inability of parties in armed conflict to provide basic goods and services and thus depriving civilians of basic necessities of life.
With the course of armed conflict, the parties to the conflict may not be able to provide essential supplies to the population. Hence, there is no way to preserve the life, health and dignity of the population but through the work of humanitarian relief provided by States and humanitarian organizations. For this reason, it is important to study the topic of "the legal …

Territorialization Of The Internet Domain Name System, Marketa Trimble
Territorialization Of The Internet Domain Name System, Marketa Trimble
Scholarly Works
A territorialization of the internet – the linking of the internet to physical geography – is a growing trend. Internet users have become accustomed to the conveniences of localized advertising, have enjoyed location-based services, and have witnessed an increasing use of geolocation and geoblocking tools by service and content providers who – for various reasons – either allow or block access to internet content based on users’ physical locations. This article analyzes whether, and if so how, the territorialization trend has affected the internet Domain Name System (“DNS”). As a hallmark of cyberspace governance that aimed to be detached from …
Evolution Of A Nation After A Dictatorship: How Law, Politics And Society Of The 1973 Dictatorship In Uruguay And Of The Subsequent Return Of Democracy In 1985, Potentially Helped Evolve The Nation Of Today., Jonathan A. Fein Proaño
Evolution Of A Nation After A Dictatorship: How Law, Politics And Society Of The 1973 Dictatorship In Uruguay And Of The Subsequent Return Of Democracy In 1985, Potentially Helped Evolve The Nation Of Today., Jonathan A. Fein Proaño
Master's Theses
In 1973, Uruguay’s president authored a coup d’état with the military and changed the history and fabric of Uruguay. Once democracy returned to Uruguay in 1985, it was a chance to see if an evolution of the law, politics and society would occur. This thesis aims to analyze and understand the patterns of change and de-evolution or evolution that happened during the dictatorship and then over the last 30 years. I break down the process of changes that happened legally and politically, how the dictatorship and its leaders used law to destroy rule of law, and how society changed.

The Role Of The State, Multinational Oil Companies, International Law & The International Community: Intersection Of Human Rights & Environmental Degradation Climate Change In The 21st Century Caused By Traditional Extractive Practices, The Amazon Rainforest, Indigenous People And Universal Jurisdiction To Resolve The Accountability Issue, Marcela Cabrera Luna
Master's Theses
Local, national and international conventions that protect indigenous sovereignty and their territories, where many of the resources are extracted from by multinational corporations (MNCs) particularly oil, the number one commodity of the world and cause of climate change, continue to be jeopardized because of the lack of a clear international legal framework that can protect them and potentially hold multinationals accountable for their actions. These practices are causing not only environmental issues to the indigenous and surrounding communities, but climate change is in fact, the real human rights issue of the 21st century and it affects everyone. By using …
The Diplomatic Disputes Between The Holy See And The Irish State 2009-2012: A Legal Analysis, Darren O'Donovan
The Diplomatic Disputes Between The Holy See And The Irish State 2009-2012: A Legal Analysis, Darren O'Donovan
Darren O'Donovan
The diplomatic dispute that erupted between Ireland and the Holy See concerning the reports of Commissions of Investigation into child abuse in the dioceses of Cloyne1 and Dublin2 provoked critical reflection on a traditionally privileged bilateral relationship. It should also be viewed as having made a highly significant contribution to broader debates concerning the Holy See’s status under international law. The Holy See’s uniquely opaque and sui generis status contributed to the unprecedented tension between it and the Irish State during the diplomatic controversies.

Spreading Democracy Everywhere But Here: The Unlikely Prospect Of Foreign National Defendants Asserting Treaty Violations In American Courts After Sanchez-Llamas V. Oregon And Medellin V. Dretke, Miriam F. Miquelon-Weismann
University of Massachusetts Law Review
To squarely address this decisional quagmire, this article examines the binding effect of ICJ orders, entered pursuant to its compulsory jurisdiction, on American courts; earlier decisions of the Supreme Court penalizing foreign nationals for failing to timely raise individual treaty claims; the effect on treaty enforcement in domestic courts after the executive branch’s recent foreign policy decision to withdraw from compulsory ICJ jurisdiction; the current policy disputes dividing the United States and the ICJ; and, the national interest, or lack thereof, in treaty compliance. The article concludes that the government’s current claim that a “long standing presumption” exists to prevent …

Disparate Protections For American Human Trafficking Victims , Amanda Peters
Disparate Protections For American Human Trafficking Victims , Amanda Peters
Cleveland State Law Review
The federal government places victims, for the purpose of receiving protections, into two categories: first, international victims and second, American citizens or permanent residents. If an international trafficking victim qualifies to receive services as a result of having been trafficked, the United States will provide refugeelike protections through the TVPA. These protections include housing, food, cash assistance, job training, counseling, medical care, legal assistance, and other services that are available for a period of several years. Victims who are Americans, on the other hand, must find protection elsewhere. The United States government specifically excludes its own trafficked citizens from receiving …

The Forgotten Threat: Private Policing And The State, Elizabeth E. Joh
The Forgotten Threat: Private Policing And The State, Elizabeth E. Joh
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
What do Disneyland, the Abu Ghraib U.S. military prison, the Mall ofAmerica, and the Y-12 nuclear security complex in Oak Ridge, Tennessee have in common? They have wildly different purposes, but they share a common characteristic as employers of private police. This answer-indicative of the prevalence and numbers of private police today-would have struck the nineteenth -century observer as evidence of a gross failure by the state. Yet that reaction, in turn, would seem odd to us. Vocal support of private police can be found among public police chiefs, lawmakers, and even President Bush.
What kinds of criticisms were once …
Subcontracting Sovereignty: The Commodification Of Military Force And The Fragmentation Of State Authority, Jackson N. Maogoto
Subcontracting Sovereignty: The Commodification Of Military Force And The Fragmentation Of State Authority, Jackson N. Maogoto
Jackson Nyamuya Maogoto
This Article has as its central theme the decentralization of the state’s control over legitimate military force with the consequential diffusion of governmental control that stands to fragment state sovereignty. It argues that the increasing centrality of PMFs to the prosecution of war is creating a changed national security landscape with PMFs increasingly influencing governmental policy both overtly and covertly. PMF heads many of whom are former high ranking military and civilian personnel now advise governments and in some cases sit on government advisory boards. Additionally they also offer governments a conduit for pursuing covert foreign policy aims and circumvention …
Are Public Sector Assets By Nature Insuitable For Financing Transnational Investments? , Lucien A. Rapp
Are Public Sector Assets By Nature Insuitable For Financing Transnational Investments? , Lucien A. Rapp
ExpressO
Does the legal regime applicable to publicly owned assets constitute a policy instrument to protect public investment? In what way can this benefit public sector property ? Are the structures of the regime sufficiently well established to provide investors with enough certainty?
This paper aims to answer these questions by taking a trans-national perspective. The main concern is to resolve the problems of ownership or non-ownership of public sector assets in the context of financing trans-national investments.
This paper responds to this issue by examining (in two stages) the various consequences for trans-national investment; the first regarding the acquisition of …

The Final Balance Sheet? The International Criminal Court’S Challenges And Concessions To The Westphalian Model, Jackson N. Maogoto
Jackson Nyamuya Maogoto
This Article examines the organization and operating principles of the Court. Many aspects of the Rome Statute challenge fundamental tenets of the structure of international law existing heretofore. No analysis could address all the aspects of this new international institution and the Article seeks to focus attention on some of its major features impacting on State sovereignty--the focus of this Article. Part II of the Article explores the structure and competence of the Court and in particular the powers of the prosecutor, general principles underlying the jurisdiction of the Court, the formulation of the complementarity principle in the Court’s Statute, …

The International Criminal Tribunal For Rwanda: A Paper Umbrella In The Rain? Initial Pitfalls And Brighter Prospects, Jackson N. Maogoto
Jackson Nyamuya Maogoto
The tragedy which befell Rwanda in 1994 deserves a special place in the bloodstained pages of history. The Rwandan genocide merits distinction primarily because of its shocking efficiency, its scale and its proportional dimensions among the victim population. The Security Council's resolution establishing the ICTR articulates a set of decisions, assumptions, wishes, and objectives. Primarily, the States that voted in favour of the creation of the ICTR indicated that the root of the problem was individual violations of international criminal law. Only one State that voted for the resolution did not equate ipso facto ICTR actions with justice. That State …

Can A State Commit A Crime? Definitely, Yes!, Alain Pellet
ILSA Journal of International & Comparative Law
As is well known, the International Law Commission (ILC) decided in 1976 to include an article in its Draft Articles on State Responsibility that makes a distinction between normal international wrongful acts, which it called delicts, on the one hand, and exceptionally grave breaches of international law which it called international crimes, on the other hand.

It was Wallace Stegner who called the national parks "the best idea we ever had." The continuing increases in usage attest to their popularity. National parks are created to preserve areas of special scenic and cultural value for enjoyment and use. Managing the parks in a manner that protects the important values and purposes for which they were created presents important and difficult …
