All My Rights, Carl E. Schneider Jul 2002

All My Rights, Carl E. Schneider

Articles

Diane Pretty was an Englishwoman in her early 40s who had been married nearly a quarter of a century. In November 1999, she learned she had amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-in Britain, motor neurone disease. Her condition deteriorated rapidly, and soon she was "essentially paralysed from the neck downwards." She had "virtually no decipherable speech" and was fed by a tube.

CAO General 1999-Present

This statement by the World Bank in the context of its support for the largest private sector investment project in sub-Saharan Africa illustrates the problem in a nutshell.

Commanding International Judicial Respect: Reciprocity And The Recognition And Enforcement Of Foreign Judgments, Susan L. Stevens Jan 2002

Commanding International Judicial Respect: Reciprocity And The Recognition And Enforcement Of Foreign Judgments, Susan L. Stevens

UC Law SF International Law Review

The recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments have become one of the most prominent areas of interest for many countries in this day of heightened globalization. While the United States has been generous in its recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments, many foreign countries have been unwilling to honor U.S. judgments. U.S. recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments is currently handled on a state-by-state basis, governed by state statute or common law. From a foreign country perspective, this "system" provides no unified procedure indicating under what conditions foreign judgments will be recognized and enforced. The Council of the American Law …

Sovereignty: The State, The Individual, And The International Legal System In The Twenty First Century, Ronald A. Brand Jan 2002

Sovereignty: The State, The Individual, And The International Legal System In The Twenty First Century, Ronald A. Brand

UC Law SF International Law Review

In its origins, the concept of sovereignty dealt with the relationship between the individual and the "sovereign." Its application to the role of the state in international law developed as a secondary matter, bringing with it discussions of relationships between "sovereign" states. However, international law has moved beyond contemporary notions of sovereignty. Concerns about "giving up sovereignty" through participation in multilateral organizations are often misplaced. In this century the most important developments in international law will not be in state-state relationships but rather in the status and rights of the person in international law. The ultimate propriety of new international …
