U.N. Reform And The International Court Of Justice: Introductory Statement, Ambassador Andrew Jacovides

ILSA Journal of International & Comparative Law

It is customary during anniversaries to devote some attention to introspection and stock taking. Looking back at my own writings on the subject of U.N. reform (during the fortieth, the fiftieth and now the sixtieth anniversary in 1985, 1995 and this year), I confirmed my long held conviction that the United Nations is indispensable and its Charter, in its basic provisions, has stood the test of time.

Beyond Good Intentions: Can Hybrid Tribunals Work After Unilateral Intervention, John Dermody Jan 2006

Beyond Good Intentions: Can Hybrid Tribunals Work After Unilateral Intervention, John Dermody

UC Law SF International Law Review

The use of a hybrid tribunal - a tribunal comprised of both international and domestic elements - was advocated in the wake of the Iraq war and the capture of Saddam Hussein. The hybrid model is considered to offer significant advantages over purely international and purely domestic tribunals. Although hybrid tribunals have been used in Kosovo, East Timor, and Sierra Leone, the hybrid model has yet to be implemented after unilateral intervention. This note examines whether the hybrid model is feasible and whether the advantages of the hybrid model can be maintained in the wake of unilateral intervention.

Looking Over A Crowd And Picking Your Friends: Civil Rights And The Debate Over The Influence Of Foreign And International Human Rights Law On The Interpretation Of The U.S. Constitution, Stanley A. Halpin

UC Law SF International Law Review

Since the 1940s Civil Rights advocates have attempted, with little success, to use International Human Rights law to protect the rights of African Americans in the United States. However, in recent terms, the United States Supreme Court has seemingly opened the door, at least a crack, to some limited recognition of international human rights norms as a legitimate influence upon their interpretation of the Constitution. This article examines the efforts of Civil Rights Advocates to utilize human rights law and develops from this history four models of enforcement of human rights law in the United States. It details the Court's …

A Golden State Solution To The Israeli-Palestinian Water Conflict, Brandon Hollinder

UC Law SF International Law Review

Israel and the Palestinian territories face a shortage of water resources that have created tensions at the center of the current political conflict between the two parties.

This Board would employ and enforce laws based upon current California Water Law with a few minor, yet critical, changes. This solution offers …

Recent Developments In The Debate Concerning The Use Of Foreign Law In Constitution Interpretation, Lisa Sofio Jan 2006

Recent Developments In The Debate Concerning The Use Of Foreign Law In Constitution Interpretation, Lisa Sofio

UC Law SF International Law Review

Comparative analysis, the interpretive technique of using foreign and international law to better understand the United States Constitution, may be a valuable tool for modern judges. Legislative proposals and statements made by various members of Congress reveal that Congress is opposed to the judiciary's use of comparative analysis and appears prepared to take drastic measures to prevent judges from looking to foreign law to answer difficult questions. This note explores the propriety and reasons for this response and explores whether comparative analysis has merit as an interpretive tool.
