Nuclear Testing Rocks The Sub-Continent: Can International Law Halt The Impending Nuclear Conflict Between India And Pakistan, Grant Guthrie

UC Law SF International Law Review

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

This Twentieth Anniversary Issue of JILB again has a symposium on law in China entitled China Revisited: Examining the Rule of Law After Twenty Years." The impetus for the 2000 China Symposium is the unprecedented integration of China into the world economic community, evidenced by China's imminent entry into the World Trade Organization ("WTO").2 The road to China's integration into the WTO was paved by the U. S. Senate's recent vote, "the most significant advance in U.S.-China relations since President Nixon's 1972 visit,'13 which grants China permanent normalized trade relations without annual Congressional review. Although the Senate approval was expected, …

"Draconian" Yet Constitutional: The Republic Of Ireland's Offences Against The State Act (1998), Sean R. Elsbernd

UC Law SF International Law Review

On August 15, 1998, a terrorist bomb exploded in Omagh, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. The 500-pound bomb, which detonated in the main marketplace of the city, killed twenty-eight people and injured more than 200 others. Following the tragedy, Ireland's Prime Minister Ahern pledged to bring those responsible to justice by making certain amendments to the Offences Against the State Act of 1939.

This Note discusses whether the Prime Minister and the government of the Republic of Ireland succeeded in this task, and if their efforts conform to the Irish Constitution and the European Convention on Human Rights.

Application Of The Elements Of Torture And Other Forms Of Ill-Treatment, As Defined By The European Court And Commission Of Human Rights, To The Incidents Of Domestic Violence, Ela Grdinic

UC Law SF International Law Review

Domestic violence has not traditionally been considered a type of torture. In fact, until recently, many European countries did not even have laws to protect women from domestic assault.

This Article argues that incidents of domestic violence in fact satisfy the criteria imposed by …
