Retroactive Trials And Justice, Stephan Landsman

Michigan Law Review

Seamus Heaney's moving words remind us that we live in an extraordinary time when, at sites of grave injustice ranging from the halls of government of Argentina and South Africa to the killing fields of Bosnia and Rwanda, "The longed-for tidal wave/Of justice can rise up,/And hope and history rhyme." Writers have attempted, in very different ways, to come to terms with the swelling of the tide of justice. For example, the philosopher Alan Rosenbaum, in a recent book about the prosecution of Nazi war criminals, argues that virtually every person implicated in the Nazis' genocidal assault on Europe's Jews …

Trade Conditionality And The Crane Bill: Rewarding Caribbean Basin Nations For Human Rights Failures, Andrew Bittens

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The note critically examines the Caribbean Basin Trade Security Act, or the Crane Bill, highlighting its omission of workers' rights provisions despite the region's history of labor violations. It argues that without enforceable labor standards, the bill may exacerbate poor working conditions. The analysis reviews historical U.S. trade policies like CBERA and GSP, which have failed to improve workers' rights due to vague provisions and weak enforcement. The note proposes integrating a robust workers' rights agreement into the Crane Bill, modeled on international labor standards, to ensure fair trade practices and protect workers.

The author proposes rethinking sovereignty and constitutional frameworks to accommodate ethnic diversity, emphasizing shared sovereignty and consensual decision-making to prevent further violence and ensure peaceful coexistence.

U.S. Income Taxation Of Foreign Parties: A Primer, Ernest R. Larkins

Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce

Over the last five years for which data are available, the number of foreign corporations showing net income on Form 1120F, U.S. Income Tax Return of a Foreign Corporation, has increased 36.5 percent. [1] In addition, the number of individuals granted temporary stays in the United States as non-immigrants has steadily increased from 9.5 million in 1985 to 24.8 million in 1996, an average annual increase of 9.1 percent. [2] These increases evidence growing opportunities to serve international clients and suggest that tax professionals must have a fundamental working knowledge of the way the U.S. tax system treats foreign parties. …

Saddam Hussein As Hostes Humani Generis? Should The U.S. Intervene?, Edieth Y. Wu

Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce

This article discusses several jurisdictional principles which may assist the United States in its efforts to acquire jurisdiction in certain situations that are declared, by the United States, egregious enough to warrant intervention. The United States has long used the "effects doctrine" 1 to assert extraterritorial jurisdiction. This article concentrates on developing and employing the Hostes Humani Generis Theory 2 and its past and possible future use. The central focus is to determine whether the possibility exists that the United States may use the theory in an effort to acquire physical jurisdiction over Saddam Hussein.
