Extradition And The Conflict In Northern Ireland: The Past, Present And Future Of An Intractable Problem, Margaret I. Branick

UC Law SF International Law Review

British government efforts to extradite members of the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) from the United States have posed challenges to U.S. extradition policy since the 1970s.

This Note briefly reviews the background of the conflict in Northern Ireland, and discusses extradition law and the political …

Sovereignty, Influence, Realpolitik And The World Trade Organization, Matthew Schaefer Jan 2002

Sovereignty, Influence, Realpolitik And The World Trade Organization, Matthew Schaefer

UC Law SF International Law Review

During the U.S. governmental consideration of the Uruguay Round agreements creating the World Trade Organization ("WTO"), claims of "lost sovereignty" were used as a rhetorical device by numerous groups opposed to the WTO.
