“Militant Judgement?: Judicial Ontology, Constitutional Poetics, And ‘The Long War’”, Penelope J. Pether
“Militant Judgement?: Judicial Ontology, Constitutional Poetics, And ‘The Long War’”, Penelope J. Pether
Working Paper Series
This Article, a contribution to the Cardozo Law Review symposium in honor of Alain Badiou’s Being and Event, uses Badiou’s theorizing of the event and of the militant in Being and Event as a basis for an exploration of problems of judicial ontology and constitutional hermeneutics raised in recent decisions by common law courts dealing with the legislative and executive confinement of “Islamic” asylum seekers, “enemy combatants” and “terrorism suspects,” and certain classes of criminal offenders in spaces beyond the doctrines, paradigms and institutions of the criminal law. The Article proposes an ontology and a poetics of judging equal to …

Retrying The Acquitted In England Part Ii: The Exception To The Rule Against Double Jeopardy For Tainted Acquittals, David S. Rudstein
Retrying The Acquitted In England Part Ii: The Exception To The Rule Against Double Jeopardy For Tainted Acquittals, David S. Rudstein
San Diego International Law Journal
Parliament enacted a statute in 1996 intended to limit the double jeopardy bar in some situations in which the defendant obtained an acquittal through improper means, thereby permitting the government to retry the person for the same offense of which he previously was tried and acquitted. The statute, part of the Criminal Procedure and Investigations Act 1996, allows a retrial when an individual's acquittal was tainted, which, under the statute, means an acquittal resulting from interference with, or intimidation of, a juror, witness, or potential witness. In allowing a retrial in such circumstances, the statute creates an exception to the …
Victims And Promise Of Remedies: International Law Fairytale Gone Bad, Sanja Djajic
Victims And Promise Of Remedies: International Law Fairytale Gone Bad, Sanja Djajic
San Diego International Law Journal
The aim of this Article is to examine such developments and the current availability of remedies for human rights violations in general. The Author will also examine the appropriateness of such remedies and opportunities to pursue them. The Article starts by identifying remedies in international law. This is followed by a case study and analysis of attempts by several national judiciaries to grapple with remedies prescribed by international law, against the background of international and national remedies. In the course of examining the reasons for an inadequate remedial structure, the Article will focus on several national cases. They will illustrate …
Confronting The Limits Of The First Amendment: A Proactive Approach For Media Defendants Facing Liability Abroad, Michelle A. Wyant
Confronting The Limits Of The First Amendment: A Proactive Approach For Media Defendants Facing Liability Abroad, Michelle A. Wyant
San Diego International Law Journal
This Article confronts the limits this issue imposes on the First Amendment in four parts. Part I described the potential for conflicting defamation laws and forum shopping to undermine the American media's speech protections in the context of the Internet and global publications and outlines the Article's overall method of analysis. Part II first orients these conflicting defamation laws with respect to their development from the common law. It then frames them in terms of the underlying structural and policy differences that have produced their substantive divergence. This frame provides the analytical perspective through which this Article examines the varying …

The Proliferation Of Global Reits And The Cross-Borderization Of The Asian Market, Julius L. Sokol
San Diego International Law Journal
After a brief discussion on the history of REITs, this Article goes on to analyze their importance and role within the global and Asian economy. Next, the underlying motivations for legal amendments to the REIT structures are discussed, as well as the socio-economic benefits associated with coordinating liberal REIT legislation throughout Asia. Subsequently, this article analyzes the various regulatory aspects of the regimes in Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea, Thailand and Malaysia. In exploring their shortcomings, comparisons are made to the highly successful United States REIT structure. Given the history of our nation's regime, it goes without saying that …
Combating Terrorism At Sea -- The Suppression Of Unlawful Acts Against The Safety Of Maritime Navigation, Helmut Tuerk
Combating Terrorism At Sea -- The Suppression Of Unlawful Acts Against The Safety Of Maritime Navigation, Helmut Tuerk
University of Miami International and Comparative Law Review
While piracy is an age-old phenomenon plaguing mankind, terrorism at sea has only manifested itself in recent times through the Achille Lauro hijacking in 1985 serving as a wake-up call. The international community has since been striving to adopt a series of legal as well as practical measures in order to prevent a recurrence of such a terrorist act because the rules of international law relating to piracy are not applicable mutatis mutandis to terrorism. The Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts Against the Safety of Maritime Navigation was adopted in 1988. This Convention addressed terrorism at sea for …
Human Trafficking: Addressing The International Criminal Industry In The Backyard, Sarah King
Human Trafficking: Addressing The International Criminal Industry In The Backyard, Sarah King
University of Miami International and Comparative Law Review
Human trafficking is a modern phenomenon with ancient roots; it is a degrading institution that generates billions of dollars annually; it is an international problem that sits in our own backyards. Because human trafficking raises, among many issues, questions of international law, human rights violations, global economic concerns and matters related to organized crime, a discussion on human trafficking could take many forms. This paper will attempt define human trafficking in a modern context; discuss the interplay between international, national, and state specific human trafficking laws; and provide analysis on where we need to go as part of an international …

Mtic (Carousel) Fraud: Twelve Ways Forward; Two Ways "Preferred" - Has The Technology-Based Administrative Solution Been Rejected?, Richard Thompson Ainsworth
Faculty Scholarship
In a May 31, 2006 Communication to the Council, the European Parliament, and the European Economic and Social Committee, the European Commission indicated a need to develop a co-ordinated strategy to improve the fight against fiscal fraud [COM(2006) 254 final]. Although the Communication considers fiscal fraud broadly (VAT, excise duties and direct taxes) the most pressing need seems to be for a VAT strategy that will effectively deal with MTIC (Missing Trader Intra-Community) or carousel fraud. To this end the Commission hosted a conference: Fiscal Fraud - Tackling VAT Fraud: Possible Ways Forward. The March 29, 2007 conference was constructed …
Making Good On The Promise Of International Law: The Convention On The Rights Of Persons With Disabilities And Inclusive Education In China And India, Vanessa Torres Hernandez
Making Good On The Promise Of International Law: The Convention On The Rights Of Persons With Disabilities And Inclusive Education In China And India, Vanessa Torres Hernandez
Washington International Law Journal
The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities conceptualizes disability as a human rights issue and requires state parties to provide an inclusive education to all children with disabilities. However, China and India, the two most populous signatory countries, do not currently provide inclusive education—described by the Convention as nondiscriminatory access to general education, reasonable accommodation of disability, and individualized supports designed to fulfill the potential of individual children with disabilities. Though both India and China have laws that encourage the education of children with disabilities, neither country’s laws mandate inclusive education and neither country currently provides universal education …
Zappers: Tax Fraud, Technology And Terrorist Funding, Richard Thompson Ainsworth
Zappers: Tax Fraud, Technology And Terrorist Funding, Richard Thompson Ainsworth
Faculty Scholarship
"Zappers," or automated sales suppression devices, have brought unheard of efficiencies and economies of scale to a very simple tax fraud - skimming cash sales at point of sale (POS) terminals (electronic cash registers). Until recently the largest tax fraud case in Connecticut, also the "largest computer driven tax-evasion case in the nation," was a zapper case. Stew Leonard's Dairy in Norwalk Connecticut skimmed $17 million in receipts and hid the cash in St. Martin (a Caribbean island). Talal Chahine and his wife, Elfat El Aouar, owners of the La Shish restaurant chain in Detroit Michigan have the dubious honor …

Methods Of International Human Rights Adjudication: Towards A More Structured Decision-Making Process For The European Court Of Human Rights, Stefan Sottiaux, Gerhard Van Der Schyff
Methods Of International Human Rights Adjudication: Towards A More Structured Decision-Making Process For The European Court Of Human Rights, Stefan Sottiaux, Gerhard Van Der Schyff
UC Law SF International Law Review
An international tribunal such as the European Court of Human Rights is often lauded for its protection of human rights. Yet, there is room for improvement. The Court's adjudication style would benefit from more structured balancing of competing interests. Not only would greater structure serve to enhance the Court's efficiency and promote legal certainty, but it would also help to clarify the Court's subsidiary role in relation to national authorities when it comes to the protection of human rights. In bringing more structure to the Court's decision-making process, inspiration can be drawn from the debate regarding the balancing/categorization continuum to …
In The Spirit Of Ubuntur. Enforcing The Rights Of Orphans And Vulnerable Children Affected By Hiv/Aids In South Africa, John D. Bessler
In The Spirit Of Ubuntur. Enforcing The Rights Of Orphans And Vulnerable Children Affected By Hiv/Aids In South Africa, John D. Bessler
UC Law SF International Law Review
The author discusses the traditional African concept of ubuntu, which is frequently cited in South African jurisprudence, and analyzes South Africa's violation of the human rights of orphans and vulnerable children affected by HIV/AIDS. South Africa's Constitution explicitly protects children's rights and various socio-economic rights of concern to children. The Constitutional Court of South Africa has held such rights to be justiciable, yet the rights of South African children have continually been violated. The author discusses how the existence of these rights may assist orphans and vulnerable children as well as those advocating on their behalf, and identifies legal strategies …
International Law Versus The Preemptive Use Of Force: Racing To Confront The Specter Of A Nuclear Iran, Roxana Vatanparast
International Law Versus The Preemptive Use Of Force: Racing To Confront The Specter Of A Nuclear Iran, Roxana Vatanparast
UC Law SF International Law Review
The United States claims that Iran's uranium enrichment program is for the purpose of creating nuclear weapons, and is thus in violation of the Treaty on the Non-proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. Although the question of whether Iran has, or will soon have, a nuclear weapon is still speculative, the U.S. is adamant that even if Iran does not currently have a nuclear weapon, it soon will, and all measures must be taken to prevent that from happening. This note analyzes whether the preemptive use of force in this context would meet traditional customary international law requirements as originally established in …
Fifteen Minutes Of Shame: The Growing Notoriety Of Grand Corruption, Mary Evans Webster
Fifteen Minutes Of Shame: The Growing Notoriety Of Grand Corruption, Mary Evans Webster
UC Law SF International Law Review
Today the international community is focused, like never before, on efforts to reduce corruption as an essential component of poverty eradication. Grand corruption is the payment of bribes in connection with major interactions such as large infrastructure projects or arms sales and the abuse of political power to extract and accumulate for private gain. In the last five years, the United Nations, the World Bank and the United States Agency for International Development have all launched aggressive new agendas to address the crime of grand corruption. But, these agendas are not without their shortcomings and ardent critics. This article explores …

UC Law SF International Law Review
This article considers recent Australian case law which will enhance the ability of Australian shareholders to pursue remedies against their companies for improper disclosure in relation to the acquisition of securities. The article further observes that, in contrast to the United States legal environment, actions which may be used to pursue such securities claims have been encouraged in Australia in recent years by the adoption of effective class action procedures and the relaxation of litigation funding rules.
