The term self-determination still teeters on the borders of evolving legal precept, expression of political will, and universal human aspiration. The concept never quite settles down into a black letter law pronouncement or a clearly understood political dynamic.

In 1969, Congress passed the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)' with the objective of causing governmental agencies to consider environmental impact in their decision-making. Questions arose early regarding who had standing to initiate judicial review under the Act, and what the proper scope was for consideration of environmental effects of agency actions.

The methods and procedures of the Commission, as in the case of all human endeavors, need, of course, to be kept under regular review and to be improved wherever advisable.

International Law And Land Mines, Joerg Wimmers

ILSA Journal of International & Comparative Law

The Review Conference in Vienna' has failed to adopt a revised Convention due to unbridgeable differences among delegations on a strengthened Protocol II of the Convention (Land Mine Protocol). Almost all important provisions of the Protocol were contentious and a number of delegations showed very limited room to move toward a compromise.

International Law And Anti-Personnel Land Mines, Michael J. Matheson

ILSA Journal of International & Comparative Law

International Law And Antipersonnel Land Mines, Luke T. Lee

ILSA Journal of International & Comparative Law

Antipersonnel (A/P) land mines are devastating weapons not only during, but also after, warfare or armed conflicts. There still exist an estimated 85 million mines, or one for every 50 people on earth, scattered in 62 countries that kill and maim some 26,000 innocent civilians each year. In Cambodia and Angola, for example, there are more than 30,000 and 20,000 amputees, respectively, who are victims of mine incidents.

The concept of intellectual property, or ideas protected by patents, copyrights, and trademarks, has been around since at least the 13^th century. However, it is only in the last decade that "piracy," or the illegal copying and selling of copywritten or patented material, has become a contentious issue in trade negotiations between the nations of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres

International Law And Anti-Personnel Landmines, Ariane Sand-Trigo

ILSA Journal of International & Comparative Law

Antipersonnel land mines are among the deadliest and most insidious weapons in the world today: their aim is to maim for life, they cannot distinguish between the footfall of a soldier and that of a child and they recognize no cease-fire or end to war. More than 110 million active mines are scattered in sixty-four countries and the problem is growing worse at a dramatic rate.

Human Rights Watch was one of the six non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that initiated the International Campaign to Ban Land Mines in 1992. The Campaign calls for a comprehensive international ban on the production, stockpiling, trade and use of antipersonnel land mines. It also calls for increased international resources for mine clearance and victim assistance programs.

What The Principle Of Self-Determination Means Today, Mitchell A. Hill

ILSA Journal of International & Comparative Law

The right of all peoples to self-determination has been one of the most vigorously promoted and widely accepted contemporary norms of international law. There is no clear consensus, however, as to what the meaning and content of that right is, and it has gained the distinction of "being one of the most confused expressions in the lexicon of international relations.

Human Rights Provisions Of The U.N. Charter: The History In U.S. Courts, Jo L. Southard

ILSA Journal of International & Comparative Law

American law schools use appellate court decisions to teach the implementation and progression of the law. Typically, the first case in a series will stand for the proposition that a plaintiff is entitled to a certain right. A later case demonstrates that a subsequent plaintiff is also entitled to the right. After a number of cases are presented, the student is expected to understand the law, policy, doctrine or test that applies to situations revolving around the right.

International Environmental Law: The Impact And Implications Of Municipal Environmental Law, Harry H. Almond Jr.

ILSA Journal of International & Comparative Law

States universally claim access to authority and control over events and persons. States exercise power within their territories primarily to maintain and promote public order, protect their assets and wealth, and ensure the public safety. The end result of these actions is law. The operational element of law involves combinations invoking cooperation, reciprocity in treatment and behavior, and dispute management and settlement.

Why Teach International Family Law In Conflicts?, William L. Reynolds

Faculty Scholarship

[The author] sets forth a challenge to conflicts professors: to teach international family law in their conflict of laws classes. At present, many conflicts professors avoid teaching international family law, in part because the study of this subject is complicated by several statutes addressing particularly difficult issues. Ignorning international family law is unwise, because many United States citizens and lawyers are likely to confront such problems.

The taking of a bribe or gratuity, should be punished with as severe penalties as the defrauding of the State.

If all statesmen shared this ideology, there would be no need for this article. However, a glance at current business journals and news agencies shows the great necessity to address global corrupt practices in today's transnational business environment.

As this quotation suggests, international environmental problems have taken center stage since the end of the cold war, capturing the attention of scholars and diplomats alike.

The Law And Assisted Reproduction In The United Kingdom And United States, Robert L. Stenger

Journal of Law and Health

The development, publicity and availability of new and assisted methods of human reproduction raise profound ethical, legal and medical concerns. As for any new medical technology, there is a need for research and experimentation. At the same time, because human life is involved, there are calls for ethical and legal evaluations and regulations. These new technologies have been developed and applied in different countries, each with different cultures and legal traditions. It is instructive to compare how different countries respond legally to such new technologies. A comparison between the United States and United Kingdom is particularly enlightening because both share …
