Speech: Modern War And Modern Law, David Kennedy Jan 2007

Speech: Modern War And Modern Law, David Kennedy

University of Baltimore Law Review

Warfare has become a legal institution. Law organizes and disciplines the military, defines the battlespace, privileges killing the enemy, and offers a common language to debate the legitimacy of waging war — down to the tactics of particular battle. At the same time, law is no longer a matter of firm distinctions — combatant and non-combatant, war and peace. It has become a flexible and strategic partner for both the military and for humanitarians seeking to restrain the violence of warfare. The relationship between modern war and modern law is made all the more complex by today's asymmetric conflicts, and …


The Foreign Source Doctrine: Explaining The Role Of Foreign And International Law In Interpreting The Constitution, Timothy K. Kuhner Jan 2007

The Foreign Source Doctrine: Explaining The Role Of Foreign And International Law In Interpreting The Constitution, Timothy K. Kuhner

Faculty Publications By Year

This article brings much-needed precision to the debate over the Supreme Court's use of foreign and international law to interpret the Constitution. The debate has been both imprecise, ignoring the subtleties of the phenomenon at issue, and prematurely abstract, jumping to theoretical and ideological levels without first looking to establish the specifics. By focusing on the particular areas of constitutional text subjected to foreign sources and the longstanding lines of caselaw upon which the use of foreign sources builds, this article reveals that a doctrine has crystallized around the use of foreign sources. The doctrine specifies the precise uses to …


Sosa And The Retail Incorporation Of International Law, Ernest A. Young Jan 2007

Sosa And The Retail Incorporation Of International Law, Ernest A. Young

Faculty Scholarship

Since its release in 2004, Justice Souter’s majority opinion in Sosa v. Alvarez-Machain has become something of a Rorschach blot, in which each of the contending sides in the debate over the domestic status of customary international law (CIL) sees what it was predisposed to see anyway. Neither the thoughtful article by Professors Curtis Bradley, Jack Goldsmith, and David Moore, nor this comment upon that article, is any exception to that tendency: we, too, read Sosa as vindicating our previously expressed positions on this debate. That is an embarrassing situation for scholars all round, and it counsels caution in interpreting …

Me And My Shadow: The European Court Of Justice And The Disintegration Of European Union Law, Anthony Arnull Jan 2007

Me And My Shadow: The European Court Of Justice And The Disintegration Of European Union Law, Anthony Arnull

Fordham International Law Journal

The European Court of Justice (“the ECJ” or “the Court”) is widely recognized as one of the world's most successful international tribunals and has been held up as a model for others. Its reputation is in large measure based on its contribution to the “constitutionalization” of the European Community Treaties and to the functioning of the common market, particularly in the 1960s and 1970s. What has perhaps received less attention is the range of mechanisms employed by the Member States since the late 1980s to contain what they regard as expansive lawmaking by the ECJ. Those mechanisms have sometimes generated …


The Evolution Of The Free Movement Of Capital, John A. Usher Jan 2007

The Evolution Of The Free Movement Of Capital, John A. Usher

Fordham International Law Journal

After considering the evolution and scope of the capital movement rules, this Article will examine two distinct themes: 1) the treatment of discriminatory taxation under the capital movement rules, looking in particular at whether there is a coherent approach to this issue across the Treaty “freedoms,” and 2) the reaction of the European Court to the extension of the capital movement rules to third countries.

Obiora Chinedu Okafor, Legitimizing Human Right Ngos: Lessons From Nigeria, Joel M. Ngugi

Fordham International Law Journal

Professor Obiora Chinedu Okafor of Osgoode Hall School of Law, Toronto, Canada, has written a well-researched and valuable book about Human Rights Non-Governmental Organizations ("NGOs") in Nigeria. ... " Similarly, in many countries, NGOs, in their capacity as civic society, have been given official roles in some key governance institutions such as in Nigerian National Human Rights Commissions, media watchdogs, Governmental Commissions, and so forth. In chapter five of the book, Professor Okafor candidly describes the funding patterns of human rights NGOs in Nigeria. As Professor Okafor tells the story, the trail of the "popular legitimization crisis" of local human …
