Comment: Lesson For The United States From Foreign Price Controls On Pharmaceuticals, Jerry Stanton

Connecticut Journal of International Law

The pharmaceutical industry has driven medical advances to unprecedented levels this century. Polio, smallpox, and tuberculosis affected nearly every family just a few decades ago, but are now all but wiped out.' Results like these are the holy grail of an effective health care system. But to obtain these results brings about a fundamental paradox: better health care must always cost more. Every person who would have died from smallpox or polio but for their vaccination lives on, eventually developing new maladies that require more treatments. The cycle continues into old age, where medical expenses are the highest. Thus an …

Continuing Relevance Of Traditional Modes Of Territorial Acquisition In International Law And A Modest Proposal, Seokwoo Lee

Connecticut Journal of International Law

There is no rule of international law prescribing any single mode for the acquisition of territory. Customary international law provides traditionally recognised modes of territorial acquisition,' and these modes have been developed through decisions and awards2 of international judicial and arbitral bodies over the last centuries. There are notably five traditional ways through which states can acquire territory: discovery and occupation, cession, accretion, conquest, and prescription. Each of these modes has played an important role in identifying legal arguments for the resolution of specific territorial disputes, and thus has substantially contributed to resolving such disputes.

The traditional modes of territorial …

Can International Law Help? An Analysis Of The Colombian Peace Process, Jorge L. Esquirol

Connecticut Journal of International Law

In recent months, the guerrilla war in Colombia has dramatically entered the world stage. While Colombian governments for decades resisted the internationalization of the internal conflict, they are now lobbying for U.S. and European financial support, accepting bi-lateral conditions, and invoking international norms. This approach offers new possibilities for resolving the forty year conflict. Upon closer analysis, it could also prolong it. By internationalization, here, is not meant the mandatory application of the laws of interstate war nor the recognition of fights to self-determination. It refers to attempts to manage, and potentially resolve, the internal conflict through international legal formulas, …

Jerusalem Policy Makes No Sense, Kenneth Lasson

All Faculty Scholarship

Born recently in Jerusalem, this tiny apolitical person has just arrived in Baltimore from Israel with his proud parents, a journey that required him to have an American passport. All went smoothly at the U.S. consulate in East Jerusalem until I asked the woman processing the forms why there was no country listed after "Jerusalem" on the passport application.

In 1948, President Harry Truman, ignoring strong objections from the State Department, enabled the United States of America to become one of the first countries to recognize Israel. Jerusalem has always been Israel's capital. All U.S. embassies are situated in the …

After Seattle: Public International Organizations, Non-Governmental Organizations (Ngos), And Democratic Legitimacy In An Era Of Globalization: An Essay In Contested Legitimacy, Kenneth Anderson

Working Papers

This working monograph (about 120,000 words) analyzes the relationship between public international organizations such as the United Nations system and international non-governmental organizations under conditions of globalization. It argues that international organizations and international NGOs are locked in an embrace of mutual legitimation, each giving the other important political legitimacy, in favor of liberal internationalism and at the expense of democratic sovereignty. The monograph argues that the legitimacy that each gives the other is based on flawed assumptions about the nature of civil society and "international civil society," on the one hand, and global governance and the possibilities of international, …

Injunctions Restraining Calls On Performance Bonds: Is Fraud The Only Ground In Singapore?, Quentin Loh, Hang Wu Tang

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

This paper traces the divergence of Singapore law from English law with regard to the grounds upon which a call on a performance bond can be restrained, in particular the recent recognition of the Singapore Court of Appeal's ruling that "unconscionability" is a separate ground to restrain the call of a performance bond. This article examines the legal nature of an on demand performance bond and seeks to challenge the assumption that a performance bond is a mirror image of a letter of credit. This paper also discusses the recent case of Cargill International v. Bangladesh Sugar and Food Industries …
