Do Economic Sanctions Work? A View From The United Nations, Gian Luca Burci

ILSA Journal of International & Comparative Law

The question "do sanctions work?" can be interpreted not only as a political or legal assessment about their effects on a State, but also as an analysis of whether sanctions are designed, managed and enforced in a manner which makes them viable for an extended period of time for those who are required to implement them.

The Lure Of Regional Solutions: A Realistic Option Or Escapism?, Colin Keating

ILSA Journal of International & Comparative Law

Depending on the nature and importance of disputes, there is a need for either bilateral or unilateral use of global and regional organizations.

The Spanish Products Liability Act Of 1994, Michael Ansaldi

Cooperation Between The United Nations And Regional Institutions, Hans Corell

ILSA Journal of International & Comparative Law

Chapter VIII of the United Nations Charter does not preclude regional organizations from taking regional actions in the maintenance of international peace and security.

Enforcement measures must however be authorized first by the Security Council.

International Law And Antipersonnel Land Mines, Luke T. Lee

In Cambodia and Angola, for example, there are more than 30,000 and 20,000 amputees, respectively, who are victims of mine incidents.

Environmental Law-Making In The European Context And Its Relations To International Environmental Agreements, Gerhard Loibl

ILSA Journal of International & Comparative Law

Towards Global Government: Reality Or Oxymoron?, Valerie Epps

ILSA Journal of International & Comparative Law

The title of this panel asks us to examine where the world is going and what is likely to be the governance structure for the foreseeable future.

Women In The Courts: An Old Thorn In Men's Sides, Nikolaus Benke

Michigan Journal of Gender & Law

This article was inspired by the work of a series of state task forces on women in the courts. It examines the subject from a historical perspective, comparing ancient Rome, mainly during the period from the first century B.C. to the third A.D., with the United States, from its prerevolutionary beginnings to the present. The article's focus is gender bias against women acting in official court functions.

The State As Landlord: The Constitutionality Of The Termination Of Public Housing Leases On Account Of A Tenant's Illegal Activities, Mark Anthony Drumbl

Scholarly Articles

Paragraph 107(l)(b) of the Ontario Landlord and Tenant Act enables landlords to evict tenants on short notice for engaging in illegal activity or for permitting such activity to be conducted in or on any part of the rental premises. Under this provision, the landlord can serve a notice of termination on the tenant, who may then exercise his/her right to dispute the landlord's allegation at a scheduled court hearing.
