Conceptualizing Indigenous Historical Justice Toward A Mutual Recognition With State In Taiwan, Awi Mona
Conceptualizing Indigenous Historical Justice Toward A Mutual Recognition With State In Taiwan, Awi Mona
Washington International Law Journal
Transitional justice has received considerable attention in recent years in Taiwan. Despite all this attention, transitional justice is an issue that remains incomplete without addressing justice for indigenous peoples. This paper aims to focus on the essential characteristics of indigenous justice against the successive alien regimes. Though the fact that the national apology to indigenous peoples may have broken new ground in the government’s relationship with indigenous peoples, the common understanding of transitional justice has caused significant bitterness and frustration for indigenous peoples. Until the core significance of indigenous justice is essentially resolved, the existing uncertainty about reconciliation with indigenous …
A Global Analysis Into Loot Boxes: Is It "Virtually" Gambling?, Kevin Liu
A Global Analysis Into Loot Boxes: Is It "Virtually" Gambling?, Kevin Liu
Washington International Law Journal
The video game industry has expanded rapidly in recent years by implementing a microtransaction business model and expanding to a new market of mobile gaming. However, the introduction of loot boxes has been controversial; similar to gambling, gamers pay real money for a randomized microtransaction for a chance to win a random virtual prize of perceived value. Additionally, the items won from these loot boxes, such as cosmetic skins, can potentially be used to bet on other games of chance or even on the outcomes of competitive esports games. With the ease of online payments, the use of manipulative operant …
Never Too Late—The Work Of The Transitional Justice Commission In Taiwan, Hung-Ling Yeh, Ching-Hsuan Su
Never Too Late—The Work Of The Transitional Justice Commission In Taiwan, Hung-Ling Yeh, Ching-Hsuan Su
Washington International Law Journal
The fact that Taiwan set up an institution solely dedicated to transitional justice only thirty years after the country’s democratization has made Taiwan’s transitional justice experience unique among newly democratized states. How and when transitional justice is approached and upheld will affect a country’s stance toward its dark history and even re-make its democracy. Taiwan is currently heralding a new experience that is determining for Taiwan’s democratic future and that could serve as a valuable reference for other countries that are to go through or are in the middle of democratization.
Comparative Analysis Of The Eu’S Gdpr And Brazil’S Lgpd: Enforcement Challenges With The Lgpd, Abigayle Erickson
Comparative Analysis Of The Eu’S Gdpr And Brazil’S Lgpd: Enforcement Challenges With The Lgpd, Abigayle Erickson
Brooklyn Journal of International Law
In the wake of the adoption of the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in May 2018, other countries and jurisdictions have contemplated personal data privacy legislation. In August 2018, the former president of Brazil, Michel Temer, signed the country’s comprehensive data privacy regulation, Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados Pessoais (LGPD), into law. Temer, however, vetoed many of the enforcement provisions. Shortly before leaving office, Temer signed an executive order creating a regulatory agency as the bill initially called for, but situated the agency under executive control instead of creating a wholly independent agency. This Note provides a …
Violence Implicit In Hijab Suppression Laws In Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, And France Under The Cedaw Framework, Jordan Elizabeth Pahl
Violence Implicit In Hijab Suppression Laws In Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, And France Under The Cedaw Framework, Jordan Elizabeth Pahl
Washington International Law Journal
This Comment examines three instances of laws banning hijab, the headscarf worn by many Muslim women. These laws, as enacted in Soviet Uzbekistan, France, and Tajikistan provide justifications for violence against women on a number of levels and, as such, violate the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). The stigmatization of Muslim women these laws perpetuate result in women’s lack of access to work and education as guaranteed by CEDAW, and also act as a catalyst for violence against women who violate these laws. This paper argues that hijab suppression laws violate CEDAW …
Whither Converging Narratives Of Justice In Transition? Transitional Justice And Judicial Reform In Taiwan, Agnes S. Schick-Chen
Whither Converging Narratives Of Justice In Transition? Transitional Justice And Judicial Reform In Taiwan, Agnes S. Schick-Chen
Washington International Law Journal
Referring to Taiwan’s recent transitional justice legislation as a first tentative step towards the possibility of judicial solutions for problems of injustice dating from the authoritarian era, this paper elaborates chances and difficulties of introducing the judiciary to the ongoing processes of coming to terms with the past in Taiwan. It intends to argue that apart from the specific circumstances of Taiwan’s transition to democracy after the lifting of martial law in 1987, the avoidance of a judicial approach to transitional justice was both caused by and the reason for a deficit in narratives of judicial justice. Together with the …
Judges Versus Jurors: Biased Attributions In The Courtroom, Goran Dominioni, Pieter Desmet, Louis Visscher
Judges Versus Jurors: Biased Attributions In The Courtroom, Goran Dominioni, Pieter Desmet, Louis Visscher
Cornell International Law Journal
The fundamental purpose of a tort trial is to allocate responsibility. However, attributing fault is difficult, and decades of research in psychology have shown that human beings are prone to make systematic errors in performing this task. What can be done about this? The United States and countries in continental Europe adopt diametrically opposed strategies to reduce errors in the attribution of responsibility in the courtroom. American law delegates fact-finding to jurors and makes some type of evidence inadmissible in court to protect jurors from potentially biasing information, such as character evidence. European legal systems, instead, employ almost exclusively judges …
The Diffusion Of Legal Innovation--Insights From Mathematical Modeling, Michal Shur-Ofry, Gadi Fibich, Shira Green
The Diffusion Of Legal Innovation--Insights From Mathematical Modeling, Michal Shur-Ofry, Gadi Fibich, Shira Green
Cornell International Law Journal
Do countries adopt legal rules due to independent, top-down processes, or do laws spread among nations in a manner that resembles the diffusion of new products and innovations in a social network? We empirically examine this question by employing an influential mathematical model based on sociological diffusion theory and frequently used for analyzing the diffusion of innovations (the Bass model). Our findings indicate that more often than not, the temporal diffusion of legal rules displays a good fit to the Bass model and suggest that this model can provide new insights in studying the diffusion of laws. Particularly, applying the …
Organ Donations: Why The Gift Of Life Ideology Is Losing Lives, Dylan Fukai
Organ Donations: Why The Gift Of Life Ideology Is Losing Lives, Dylan Fukai
UC Law SF International Law Review
As people around the world continue to die on organ transplant waiting lists, the international community sits idly by, hoping that human kindness will solve the growing need for organs. Current altruistic systems have proven to be inadequate to close the gap between the high demand for organs and the limited supply of legally available organs. The international community’s aversion toward legal organ sales and the current issues stemming from the illegal organ market continue to impede progress toward saving lives. However, some nations have begun to transition from strictly altruistic organ transplantation systems. One example of a non-altruistic organ …

Pharmaceutical Industry Funding To Patient-Advocacy Organizations: A Cross-National Comparison Of Disclosure Codes And Regulation, Laura Karas, Robin Feldman, Ge Bai, So Yeon Kang, Gerard F. Anderson
UC Law SF International Law Review
Transparency has become one of the primary themes in health care reform efforts in the United States and across the world. In the face of exorbitant drug prices, high levels of patient cost-sharing, and pharmaceutical expenditures that consume a growing proportion of public sector budgets, much attention has been drawn to the pharmaceutical industry. Congressional investigations, academic publications, and news articles have endeavored to reveal the extent of drug and device industry influence on health care actors. In response, several nations, including the United States, have passed legislation mandating disclosure of drug company payments to physicians. In the United States, …
The Rule Of Law And The Exploitation Of Children In Africa, John Mukum Mbaku
The Rule Of Law And The Exploitation Of Children In Africa, John Mukum Mbaku
UC Law SF International Law Review
The abuse and exploitation of children is a major public policy priority for all African countries. Throughout the continent, children are routinely abused and exploited as sex objects; tools in the production of various goods, including cocoa, gold, and various minerals, as well as, services, such as pornography and prostitution; and, as child soldiers to fight in sectarian conflicts and civil wars. Children in Africa are exploited and abused by both domestic and external or foreign actors and these include, but are not limited to, family members and community leaders, foreign tourists who seek the continent’s children for sex, and …
Legislating The Right-To-Die With Dignity In A Confucian Society—Taiwan’S Patient Right To Autonomy Act, Chih-Hsiung Chen
Legislating The Right-To-Die With Dignity In A Confucian Society—Taiwan’S Patient Right To Autonomy Act, Chih-Hsiung Chen
UC Law SF International Law Review
In Confucian societies, people tend to avoid the discussion on death matters, let alone making advance directives to reject life-sustaining treatments at the end of life. Taiwan might be a pioneer in legislating the right-to-die with dignity among Confucian countries. As early as 2000, the Hospice Palliative Care Act was declared in Taiwan, which give terminally-ill patients the options to forgo life-sustaining treatments. Furthermore, in 2016, Taiwan passed the Patient Right to Autonomy Act to enhance patients’ choice at the end of life and expanded the coverage to certain types of nonterminally ill patients. On the other hand, end-of-life issues …
The "Gaps" And Excesses Of Transitional Justice In Taiwan—A Response To Caldwell, Ian Rowen
The "Gaps" And Excesses Of Transitional Justice In Taiwan—A Response To Caldwell, Ian Rowen
Washington International Law Journal
Ernest Caldwell’s legal history of transitional justice in Taiwan provides scholars a great service by periodizing and clearly summarizing key moments for the formulation and passage of relevant legislation. In so doing, however, it frames ongoing and perhaps ultimately unresolvable struggles over the meaning of history and the possibility of redress for past injustices as “gaps” within “Taiwan’s transitional justice experience,” belying a seemingly ahistorical conceptualization of transitional justice. The language of “gaps” suggests that transitional justice is a practice with a clearly defined and universally-accepted template, toolkit, and timeline, such that there is a commonly-understood set of criteria by …
Transitional Justice In Taiwan: Changes And Challenges, Nien-Chung Chang-Liao, Yu-Jie Chen
Transitional Justice In Taiwan: Changes And Challenges, Nien-Chung Chang-Liao, Yu-Jie Chen
Washington International Law Journal
Taiwan’s experience with transitional justice over the past three decades suggests that dealing with historical injustice is a dynamic and fluid process that is fundamentally shaped and constrained by the balance of power and socio-political reality in a particular transitional society. This Article provides a contextualized legal-political analysis of the evolution of Taiwan’s transitional justice regime, with special attention to its limits and challenges. Since Taiwan’s democratization began, the transitional justice project developed by the former authoritarian Chinese Nationalist Party (Kuomintang, KMT) has been rather disproportionately focused on restorative over retributive mechanisms, with the main emphasis placed on reparations and …
A Third Way Of Thinking About Cultural Property, Lucas Lixinski
A Third Way Of Thinking About Cultural Property, Lucas Lixinski
Brooklyn Journal of International Law
The article argues that the dichotomy between nationalism and internationalism with respect to cultural property, while formative, has outlived its utility, and in many respects compromised the viability of the public good it aims to safeguard. Focused on the example of cultural property in international law, this article argues for more community-centric forms of governance, beyond the interests of states and an undefined “international.” It extrapolates the lessons from cultural property to other forms of resource governance in international law.
Safeguarding Democracy In Europe: A Bulwark Against Hungary’S Subversion Of Civil Society, Hannah J. Sarokin
Safeguarding Democracy In Europe: A Bulwark Against Hungary’S Subversion Of Civil Society, Hannah J. Sarokin
Brooklyn Journal of International Law
Spurred in large part by a mounting humanitarian crisis in Syria, the 2015 migrant crisis exposed deeply rooted fractures within the European Union regarding refugee resettlement. While the European Union worked to develop a synchronized response to the influx of refugees and asylees, Hungary defiantly sought to close its borders. In doing so, the Hungarian government targeted not only those seeking refuge, but its own civil society. In a series of opaque and overtly punitive legislative acts passed in the summer of 2018, Hungary criminalized any civil society activities that facilitate or assist with immigration. This Note will analyze the …
Forging Taiwan’S Legal Identity, Margaret K. Lewis
Forging Taiwan’S Legal Identity, Margaret K. Lewis
Brooklyn Journal of International Law
The legal system in Taiwan is undergoing a transformation. Over a hundred years since the founding of the Republic of China and over thirty years since the end of martial law on Taiwan, a new legal identity is being forged. Public criticism of “dinosaur” judges and esoteric debates among law-trained elites have galvanized efforts to create a more inclusive discussion surrounding legal reforms. Taiwan is facing the challenge of moving from dinosaurs to dynamism. This Article argues that transparency, clarity, and participation both are animating principles of the current reform debate and are beginning to emerge as characteristics of Taiwan’s …
Roots Of Revolution: The African National Congress And Gay Liberation In South Africa, Joseph S. Jackson
Roots Of Revolution: The African National Congress And Gay Liberation In South Africa, Joseph S. Jackson
Brooklyn Journal of International Law
South Africa’s post-apartheid constitutions were the first in the world to contain an explicit prohibition of discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation, and that prohibition established the foundation for marriage equality and broad judicial and legislative protection of gay rights in South Africa. The source of this gay rights clause in the South African Constitution can be found in the African National Congress’s decision to include such a clause in the ANC’s A Bill of Rights for a New South Africa, published when the apartheid government of South Africa was still in power. This article traces the story of that …
Grinding Down The Edges Of The Free Expression Right In Hong Kong, Stuart Hargreaves
Grinding Down The Edges Of The Free Expression Right In Hong Kong, Stuart Hargreaves
Brooklyn Journal of International Law
In the liberal-democratic tradition limits on speech must be clear, precise, and subject to justification within the particular constitutional framework of a given jurisdiction. In the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), the Court of Final Appeal has developed a line of jurisprudence that explains under which circumstances the Government of Hong Kong (Government) may seek to limit the free speech provisions contained within the Basic Law, Hong Kong's quasi-constitution. In its fight against ‘localists,’ however, rather than legislating a clear speech restriction that is consistent with this jurisprudence, the Government has instead attempted to suppress unwelcome political speech in …
Trade Secret Protection In Japan And The United States: Comparison And Recommendations, Thomas Landman
Trade Secret Protection In Japan And The United States: Comparison And Recommendations, Thomas Landman
Brooklyn Journal of International Law
Trade secret law is a vital, yet often misunderstood, form of intellectual property law. As economic superpowers, both Japan and the United States realize that effective trade secret protection is essential for the prosperity of their domestic economies, and both nations have enacted laws to protect their trade secrets. While both Japan and the United States are signatories to the TRIPS agreement and therefore provide a shared baseline standard of trade secret protection, cultural and systemic differences between the two nations have resulted in differences in the way each nation implements its trade secret laws. This Note traces the history …
