Geraldine Van Bueren, The International Law On The Rights Of The Child, Roger J.R. Levesque

Fordham International Law Journal

Simply stated, the international children's rights movement asks individual governments to take children's interests seriously when enacting laws for them. In order to enact policies that take children's interests seriously, all laws must be evaluated and examined from the child's point of view. An examination of the current international children's rights movement from the child's point of view, however, reveals considerable schisms between international principles and the state of the world's children. Professor Van Bueren directly examines the complex issues involved in defining and understanding children's rights. Her analysis of formal international law relating to the rights of the child …

The New Turkish Trademark Law, Ergun Özsunay

Fordham International Law Journal

Since 1980, the Turkish economy has gradually gained a liberal character through the elimination of government intervention in the economy and the removal of exchange restrictions and customs barriers. These changes in economic policy are related to Turkey's desire to foster closer economic links with the European Union (“EU” or “Community”). Relations between Turkey and the European Union take place within the framework of an Association Agreement (“Ankara Agreement”). The Ankara Agreement was signed on September 12, 1963, and became effective on January 1, 1973. The Ankara Agreement provides the possibility of Turkey's eventual membership in the European Union. Undoubtedly, …

U.S. Shoe Corp. V. United States: A Victory For U.S.-Canada Maritime Trade, Howard Schragin

Fordham International Law Journal

This Comment argues that the recently decided case of U.S. Shoe should be upheld by the Federal Circuit upon review because allowing the continued imposition of the HMT would adversely affect the U.S. export industry and subject the Government to possible North American Free Trade Agreement (“NAFTA”) violations. Part I provides background information regarding Congress' commerce and taxation powers. Part I also analyzes the constitutional restrictions on taxation and presents the judicial interpretations of the Export Clause and Import-Export Clause. Part I then describes the CIT and how it functions. Next, Part I presents a review of NAFTA and U.S.-Canada …

Something Is Rotten In The State Of Affairs Between Nations: The Difficulties Of Establishing The Rule Of International Criminal Law Because Of Public Corruption, Charles S. Saphos

Fordham International Law Journal

This Essay is written to outline the difficulties in establishing mechanisms for addressing multi-national criminal activities when those efforts continue to be frustrated by rampant public corruption. This Essay argues that the problems of public corruption are purposefully not addressed in the instruments which are intended to combat criminal activity. The Essay concludes that international efforts will continue to be frustrated until nations determine that they will not permit public corruption to void their efforts to better the lives of their populations and establish within the four corners of their agreements mechanisms for identifying, investigating, and sanctioning the corruption that …

The International Law Commission's First Ten Draft Articles On The Law Of The Non-Navigational Uses Of International Watercourses: Do They Adequately Address All The Major Issues Of Water Usage In The Middle East?, Kevin P. Scanlan

Fordham International Law Journal

This Note argues that the first ten articles of the ILC's Draft Articles constitute a significant initial step in solving Middle Eastern water problems. This Note further argues that the ILC's failure to include provisions regulating the use of groundwater render the Draft Articles an incomplete framework for Middle Eastern states to rely upon when framing their own agreements. Part I discusses the historical significance of water, both economically and as a means of sustenance, and its effects on political relations between states that share a water source. Part I also examines the current supply of water in the Middle …

Justice On Trial: The Efficacy Of The International Criminal Tribunal For Rwanda, Melissa Gordon

ILSA Journal of International & Comparative Law

There can be no peace without justice, no justice without law, and no meaningful law without a court to decide what is just and lawful under any given circumstance. The process of codification, adjudication and enforcement is as vital to a tranquil international community as it is to any independent national state.

-Benjamin B. Ferencz'"

The success of the Yugoslavian and Rwandan War Crimes Tribunals will determine the future of international criminal law. Whether the Tribunals are able to command the attention and respect of the world remains to be seen.

Watching Czechs Look West, Norman Silber

ILSA Journal of International & Comparative Law

"I prefer the way we live in my home of Krevitsonitze," the Czech factory computer engineer named Dzhenek told me. Together we flew toward Prague, conversing in broken English and pitiful Czech with the aid of a bilingual dictionary. Dzhenek was going home after four months spent in Pennsylvania, where he had been part of a team installing his Czech company's first American export: a giant computer-directed lathe in a machine-tools factory.
