The Right To Be Forgotten: Who Decides What The World Forgets, Patricia S. Abril, Jacqueline D. Lipton Jan 2015

The Right To Be Forgotten: Who Decides What The World Forgets, Patricia S. Abril, Jacqueline D. Lipton

Articles

In May 2014, the Court of Justice for the European Union ("CJEU") surprised the global cyberlaw community by holding that search engines like Google are "controllers" of the processing of personal data under the European Union Data Protection Directive. This means that they are obliged in some circumstances to remove links from search results that pertain to information that infringes on an individual's rights under the Directive. This obligation has come to be referred to as an aspect of a digital right to be forgotten." The search results in question related to a mortgage sale of property in a bankruptcy …

China's Anti-Dumping Regime And Compliance With Anti-Dumping Principles: An Analysis Using Agricultural Dumping Case Studies, Adam Soliman May 2014

China's Anti-Dumping Regime And Compliance With Anti-Dumping Principles: An Analysis Using Agricultural Dumping Case Studies, Adam Soliman

University of Miami International and Comparative Law Review

The paper assesses China's anti-dumping regime, one of the important structures implemented by China in order to become a full member of the World Trade Organization (WTO). Section One sets forth the WTO's anti-dumping principles as well as analyzes the differences between the WTO principles and the definition of "dumping" as understood by economists. In significant respects, the WTO principles allow situations that do not actually constitute dumping-in an economic sense-to be treated as "dumping," leading to the imposition of duties and sanctions. Next, the paper evaluates the degree to which the separate anti-dumping regimes of China and the U.S. …

Chinese Contract Formation: The Roles Of Confucianism, Communism, And International Influences, Amy Lee Rosen May 2013

Chinese Contract Formation: The Roles Of Confucianism, Communism, And International Influences, Amy Lee Rosen

University of Miami International and Comparative Law Review

China has opened its doors to the world so understanding Chinese contract law is crucial to succeeding in international business transactions. The United States and China are both signatories to the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG), and both nations have declared that neither are bound under Article 1(1)(b), which means that if a contractual conflict arises, the domestic law of either nation may apply when interpreting the contract. China only requires offer and acceptance whereas the United States requires mutual assent and consideration, so contract interpretation may be problematic. Beyond offer and acceptance, …

Horizons Of Inclusion: Life Between Laws And Developments In Rio De Janeiro, Maria Clara Dias, Luis Eslava Apr 2013

Horizons Of Inclusion: Life Between Laws And Developments In Rio De Janeiro, Maria Clara Dias, Luis Eslava

University of Miami Inter-American Law Review

In this article we explore current debates about social inclusion in the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro. Through a comparison of two initiatives that aim to redress socio-economic segregation in Rio, we analyse the ontological position that these programs adopt towards their subjects, paying particular attention to the programs’ assumptions regarding the legality and development status of residents in informal neighbourhoods. Our aim is to demonstrate how some social inclusion programs recognize and respect the diversity and life experience of marginalized subjects, whereas other nominally successful programs do not achieve such objectives. In our view, such recognition ensures that …

Prosecuting Those Bearing Greatest Responsibility: The Lessons Of The Special Court For Sierra Leone, Charles C. Jalloh Apr 2013

Prosecuting Those Bearing Greatest Responsibility: The Lessons Of The Special Court For Sierra Leone, Charles C. Jalloh

Articles

This Article examines the controversial article 1(1) of the Statute of the Special Court for Sierra Leone (SCSL) giving that tribunal the competence "to prosecute those who bear the greatest responsibility" for serious international and domestic crimes committed during the latter part of the notoriously brutal Sierra Leonean conflict. The debate that arose during the SCSL trials was whether this bare statement constituted a jurisdictional requirement that the prosecution must prove beyond a reasonable doubt or merely a type of guideline for the exercise of prosecutorial discretion. The judges of the court split on the issue. This paper is the …


Assessing Legal Advocacy To Advance Roma Health In Macedonia, Romania, And Serbia, Tamar Ezer Jan 2013

Assessing Legal Advocacy To Advance Roma Health In Macedonia, Romania, And Serbia, Tamar Ezer

Articles

Across Europe, Roma suffer extreme marginalisation, negatively impacting their health. Many cannot access healthcare at all. For others, the health system is a hostile place. At the same time, good legal frameworks are in place to protect health rights, and there is increasing recognition of systemic violations experienced by Roma. Essential to building on this momentum and closing the gap between standards and implementation is Roma ability to conduct legal advocacy. Since 2010, the Open Society Foundations has supported Roma engagement in Macedonia, Romania and Serbia in the following advocacy strategies: i) legal empowerment, ii) documentation and advocacy, iii) media …
