The False Choice Between Digital Regulation And Innovation, Anu Bradford

Northwestern University Law Review

This Article challenges the common view that more stringent regulation of the digital economy inevitably compromises innovation and undermines technological progress. This view, vigorously advocated by the tech industry, has shaped the public discourse in the United States, where the country’s thriving tech economy is often associated with a staunch commitment to free markets. U.S. lawmakers have also traditionally embraced this perspective, which explains their hesitancy to regulate the tech industry to date. The European Union has chosen another path, regulating the digital economy with stringent data privacy, antitrust, content moderation, and other digital regulations designed to shape the evolution …

The Use Of Geospatial Imagery In Myanmar For Mass Atrocity Prevention, Elisenda Calvet-Martínez

Genocide Studies and Prevention: An International Journal

This paper aims to explore to what extent the usage of geospatial imagery can serve as a tool for atrocity prevention in a context of armed conflict and post-conflict. While most attention has been paid to the use of geospatial imagery to document mass atrocities for advocacy and accountability purposes, less attention has attracted the potential of this technology as a preventive tool. In the case of Myanmar, a special interest is on how to advance in the use of geospatial imagery to guarantee the safe return of the Rohingya refugees and how to prevent acts of genocide after the …

Conceptualizing Great Power Perpetrators, Federica D'Alessandra

Genocide Studies and Prevention: An International Journal

For over a decade, shifting geopolitics, a changed global security environment, and countless failures of diplomacy have raised important questions on how to collectively grapple with a widely-perceived “crisis of multilateralism,” and reignited debate on the fitness of the UN Security Council to deliver on its mandate under these circumstances. Among other issues, ongoing polarization when not outright “gridlock” among the Permanent Members (P5) has fueled the Council’s apparent inability to respond to threats to civilian life and to countless mass atrocities around the world. Even worse, as this article argues, some P5 today possess both the willingness and unprecedented …

Ai Regulation In A Chatgpt Era: Cross-Border Cooperation And Hope In A Sudden Storm, Heidi L. Frostestad

College of Law Faculty Publications

This article addresses the complex and burgeoning issue of worldwide and national AI regulation in a legal context, with insights from international business law. The present regulatory efforts throughout the globe are a messy tapestry of initiatives with varying approaches that do not coalesce for cross-border multinational corporate entities (MNE). Most AI technologies are developed by multinational enterprises that need a more uniform international regulatory environment and structure for “responsible AI” enforcement. The human rights models of corporate social responsibility and human rights mechanisms that regulate the protection of fundamental rights and “responsible AI” to prevent harms in the context …

Femicides And Female Presidents: A Comparative Study On The Development Of Laws Against Femicide In Mexico And Honduras, Daniela Garcia

The International Law Review Association Student Forum

Gender-based killings, femicides, are the ultimate form of women suppression, and this crime flourishes in countries with deeply rooted misogyny and systematic gender power imbalance. But there is a complicated phenomenon occurring in Mexico and Honduras, in which their constituents voted for female presidents yet both countries have persistent rates of femicides. President of Honduras Xiomara Castro and President of Mexico Claudia Sheinbaum organized their respective voting coalitions with support from feminist advocates who believed that a female presidency would bring gender-based issues and femicides forefront. The institutionalized power of the rightwing party hinders Castro’s plan for the young democracy …

Jurisdictional Competition On Standard-Essential Patents, Wentong Zheng

UF Law Faculty Publications

his Article offers a systematic examination of jurisdictional competition on standard-essential patents (“SEPs”). SEPs are patents essential to technology standards developed by standard-setting organizations (“SSOs”). To reduce potential patent holdup, SSOs generally require SEP holders to commit to licensing SEPs on “fair, reasonable, and nondiscriminatory” (“FRAND”) terms. During the last decade, jurisdictions around the world have been engaged in fierce competition to set the ground rules on FRAND and other requirements for SEP licensing. This Article traces the legal landscape of this jurisdictional competition and examines how three major jurisdictions, the United States, Europe, and China, have developed divergent stances …

Let Sleeping Dogs Lie: A Comparative Analysis Of The Dormant Commerce Clause And Internal Trade Barrier Mitigation, Naman Patel

Washington Law Review

The Dormant Commerce Clause jurisprudence of the United States has been one of the most widely criticized doctrines of American constitutional law. However, most of these criticisms fail to consider the economic implications of the Dormant Commerce Clause, namely the benefits this doctrine has provided in facilitating internal free trade amongst the states. This Comment argues that the Dormant Commerce Clause has given American courts an effective tool to promote interstate free trade by removing state regulations that create non-tariff barriers to trade. To support this assertion, this Comment utilizes a comparative constitutional analysis to examine how the constitutional systems …

Command Responsibility And The War In Ukraine: Can Customary International Law Hold Russian Commanders Accountable For War Crimes?, Nicholas J. Nizinski

Dickinson Law Review (2017-Present)

Currently, neither Ukraine’s Constitution nor its criminal code establish the principle of command responsibility as a mode of criminal liability within the country. Key international statutes like Article 28 of the International Criminal Court and international case law, like the recently decided Case of Milanković v. Croatia, have firmly established the doctrine of command responsibility as a fundamental principle of customary international law applicable in the context of an armed conflict. Furthermore, the Milanković court affirmed a conviction based on command responsibility even in the absence of a clear domestic governing statute at the time the crime was committed, …

Racing To The Polls: A Comparative Analysis Of Election Administration Systems Between The United States And Canada, Anna Kuhlman

The International Law Review Association Student Forum

Federal elections in the United States are conducted almost entirely at the state-level with no assistance from an electoral management body. The current federal election administration procedures lead to lower voter participation rates compared to other industrialized nations, specifically when considering Canada. Canadian federal elections are administered entirely through a national electoral management body, and Canadian voters are subjected to uniform procedures throughout the country. On the other hand, American citizens living in different states have significantly different voting experiences. By comparing the legal frameworks governing voter registration in both countries, this article will explore how processes such as automatic …
