The Right To Education: An Analysis Through The Lens Of The Deontological Method Of Immanuel Kant, Kavana Ramaswamy

Northwestern Journal of Human Rights

The framework of categorical imperatives is one of the most famous deontological theories of rights that have been formulated. The framework has often been used to justify human rights policies all over the world. While they have been subject to several criticisms over the last two centuries, some of these include improvements to the original framework. This paper analyses the framework of the categorical imperatives and suggest certain modifications to improve internal coherence.

The paper then seeks to apply this framework to the right to education, a right that is under fire in the conservatively-charged political arena today. This is …

Lcsh In The Southern Levant, Steven W. Holloway

Libraries

The article demonstrates how Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) geographic headings for the Southern Levant mirror the political investment of Congress and the American public in Middle East politics over the last thirty years. The headings’ evolution as well as Library of Congress rules governing their creation is charted in detail. These LCSH headings contrast markedly with those established in other national libraries (BnF, DNB) and independent value vocabularies (TGN, GeoNames), and global opinion regarding the legal status of the occupied territories. I sketch the historical context of their formation and offer suggestions as to how libraries can “decolonize” …

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles: Their Use Of Satellite Services And (Space) Law, Frans Von Der Dunk

Space, Cyber, and Telecommunications Law Program: Faculty Publications

This chapter represents an effort to identify the components of international space law that apply to the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). It argues that, while other national and international regimes of law apply to UAV activities, international space law is implicated only to the extent that UAV technology relies on satellite services for control and guidance purposes.

Dethroning State Security: Introducing A Human Security Perspective To Absorb The Dangers Of Climate Change To The Self-Determination Of Island State Inhabitants, Anemoone Soete

Buffalo Environmental Law Journal

One unmistakable and indisputable consequence of Climate Change is found in the realm of oceans. Sea-levels are currently rising at a pace unknown to mankind and as a consequence island states are destined to lose habitable land territory. Whereas some may lose parts, others will lose all of it in the current business as usual scenario. This reality first begs the question as to whether an island state will continue to be a state once bereft of a territorial basis. Secondly, it must be considered how islanders might retain legal personality should this is no longer be possible through the …

Distribuzione (Commerciale) E Diritto: Variazioni Su Tema, Daniela Caruso

Shorter Faculty Works

Nel febbraio 1988 Roberto Pardolesi festeggiava il suo quarantesimo compleanno circondato da un gran gruppo di studenti, tutti galvanizzati dalla sua presenza e dalla sua proverbiale energia. Unico e inimitabile, era brillante e alternativo, una forza anti-sistema all’interno di un ateneo ricco di menti acute ma anche di convolute gerarchie. Dall’Università di Chicago – sede del suo LL.M. nel 1976 – aveva importato non solo l’analisi economica del diritto, ma anche improbabili magliette a strisce, un forte spirito di iniziativa, e un’attitudine radicalmente antiformalista nel diritto come nella vita. Gli regalammo il libro I miei primi quarant’anni di Marina Ripa …

Miscarriages Of Justice In Chinese Capital Cases, Moulin Xiong, Michelle Miao

UC Law SF International Law Review

In recent years, the media exposure and judicial exoneration of wrongfully convicted defendants in a number of high-profile capital cases in China have attracted the attention of reformers, the general public, and policy makers—both domestic and international. Yet, until now, there has been merely a thin body of empirical literature on this salient research topic. This lack of academic attention is due to the political sensitivity of the topic and the lack of publicly-accessible data. This paper is aimed at filling this critical gap in the literature. Based on in-depth analysis of 122 deathsentenced innocents, of which 109 have been …

Globalization Of Business Lawyering In Japan, Yoshimichi Makiyama

UC Law SF International Law Review

The development of a legal system under globalization has impacted the legal practice of cross-border transactions. Businesses are confronted with several legal systems in foreign jurisdictions, as well as, foreign languages. On the other hand, the role of the legal system of each country becomes relatively diminished in the area of cross border transactions. The legal risk may materialize as uncertain knowledge and recognition of foreign legal systems and international law. From this perspective, it is more important to understand the roles of lawyers who support solving legal issues in transnational business. Cross-border transactions involve several different jurisdictions where the …

Revolutionary Reform In German Constitutional Law, Stephan Jaggi

UC Law SF International Law Review

Since German unification in October 1990, this diagnosis of constitutionalism in Germany is only partly true. In the wake of German unification, the BVerfG acted within Ackerman’s revolutionary model and did refer to revolutionary achievements of the constitutional past. Contrary to Ackerman’s evaluation, the Court engaged in what I call “revolutionary reform” of German constitutional law by taking up revolutionary constitutional achievements of the East German 1989 Revolution and integrating them into the existing constitutional order under the West German Basic Law (Grundgesetz; GG). It is through revolutionary reform, I will argue, that the BVerfG has brought important change to …

Bio-Property Contracts In A New Ecosystem: Genetic Resources Access And Benefit Sharing, Mariko Kageyama

Washington Journal of Law, Technology & Arts

The Nagoya Protocol on Access to Genetic Resources and the Fair and Equitable Sharing of Benefits Arising from their Utilization to the Convention on Biological Diversity presents a relatively new international legal framework. Although the United States is not currently bound by this legal instrument, its impact may be felt in the life sciences innovation sector and beyond. Transnational implementation mechanisms for the Nagoya Protocol have a combination of property law and contract law as their theoretical underpinning. Stakeholders who are entering into an agreement with their foreign counterparts should honor the Access and Benefit-Sharing scheme as well as domestic …
