A Little Rebellion Now And Then Is A Good Thing, James Forman Jr.

Michigan Law Review

What do George Washington and Eldridge Cleaver have in common? Or John Brown and Mahatma Gandhi? The Stern Gang and the Palestine Liberation Organization? Jefferson Davis and Eugene Debs? In Rebels with a Cause: The Minds and Morality of Political Offenders, Nicholas Kittrie says they are all political offenders - men and women who, "professing loyalty to a divine or higher law, to the call of individual conscience, or to the imperatives of some perceived public good, have challenged the legitimacy and authority of the institutions of their governments" (p. 6). Kittrie sets out to study the whole lot: "Civil …

Civil Litigation As A Means Of Compensating Victims Of International Terrorism, Walter W. Heiser

San Diego International Law Journal

This Article discusses the rules of procedural law that authorize United States courts to enter civil judgments against international terrorists and the foreign states that sponsor them. Somewhat surprisingly, these rules do not make such judgments difficult to obtain. As the Sutherland case illustrates, plaintiffs have already recovered substantial money judgments against terrorist defendants. Not surprisingly, the real difficulties are encountered when plaintiffs seek to enforce such judgments. Private parties have successfully utilized civil litigation as a means of neutralizing domestic hate groups. The question now is whether they can achieve similar success with respect to international terrorists. Success in …

Kissinger's World: A Cautionary Tale Through A Cold War Lens, Michael J. Kelly

San Diego International Law Journal

Kissinger rightly praises president Bush's call for America to act with humility on the world stage. After an era of triumphalism and arrogance that characterized our conduct of foreign policy in the 1980's and 90's, with Secretary of State Madeleine Albright memorably referring to America as the indispensable nation, a tone of humility is clearly in order. More so now that some of the hatred aimed at this country can be traced to such callousness felt in the Islamic World and the Third World. Although much of this book's impact may have been undermined by the unforeseeable terrorist attacks against …

Reparations For Slavery: A Dream Deferred, Watson Branch

San Diego International Law Journal

When the year began, the prediction was that 2001 was going to be the "Year of Reparations." Both internationally and in the United States, the consensus held that the time had finally come for governments around the world to face up to racism and apologize for the harm brought about by slavery and its aftermath harm in the past, to those long dead, and in the present, to those who, because of the color of their skin, still suffer from racism. Governments were expected to make amends for that harm through restitution and compensation, whether individual or collective. This willingness …

Translated Opinions

Facts: This petition was submitted during IDF operations against the terrorist infrastructure in the areas of the Palestinian Authority.

Respondents reply that, during the course of warfare, it became clear that incidents had occurred during which explosives had been transported in ambulances, and wanted terrorists had found shelter in hospitals. However, respondents asserted, the …

2002, Rhetoric And Reality: Human Rights And The World Bank, Korinna Horta

CAO General 1999-Present

This statement by the World Bank in the context of its support for the largest private sector investment project in sub-Saharan Africa illustrates the problem in a nutshell. Can the world’s most powerful development agency achieve its goal of reducing poverty where political rights are repressed, where freedom of expression and discussion are absent and opposition forces are persecuted? This Article reflects a perspective drawn from the experience of Northern environmental organizations, such as Environmental Defense, which work closely with community groups, church groups, and development and human rights organizations as well as trade unions in many devel¬ oping countries. …

Knowledge-Economy Ilites, The International Law Of Intellectual Property And Trade, And Economic Development, Michael P. Ryan

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The article challenges the simplistic view of the TRIPS Agreement as a tool solely for corporate power, emphasizing instead the agency and strategic choices of developing countries in shaping intellectual property (IP) policies to their economic benefit. It highlights the complexity of IP laws, including trademarks, patents, and copyrights, and their varying acceptance and impact in developing nations. The analysis underscores the importance of understanding sector-specific dynamics and the role of international organizations in promoting IP standards, ultimately advocating for a nuanced approach to IP policies that align with local development goals and global economic integration.
