Anti-Hero Or Villain: Analyzing Varying Competition Laws By Comparing Global Responses To Continued Competition Concerns Surrounding Ticketmaster After The Eras Tour, Ashley Watson

The International Law Review Association Student Forum

Antitrust laws in the United States regarding ticket sellers and re-sellers have failed to properly protect consumers and ensure sufficient competition. Ticket sales for Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour demonstrated how the current Ticketmaster and Live Nation monopoly creates a system where consumers have no choice but to deal with website failures, price-gouging, and hidden fees. The original approval of the Ticketmaster and Live Nation merger must be re-evaluated to protect consumer interests and ensure a lack of competition is not resulting in consumer harm. Scholars have written extensively about antitrust law in the United States and beyond, but The …

The Consequences Of Gender-Affirming Care: A Survey Of U.S. And U.K. Law, Caroline Hoch

The International Law Review Association Student Forum

The prevalence of youth experiencing “gender dysphoria” over the last decade has exploded. More minors than ever before are identifying as a different gender than their biological sex. Yet, there is a divergence among nations regarding what care is best for minors questioning their gender identity. The United Kingdom has begun to move away from prescribing minors puberty blockers and hormone therapies, as the federal government in the United States seeks to protect and promote gender-affirming care for youth. The response among the states is far more fractured. Some states have imposed bans on gender-affirming care for minors. While there …

The Rejection Of The Anti-Corruption Principle And Its Effect On Human Rights At Home, Juliet S. Sorensen

Northwestern Journal of Human Rights

21st century scholarship analyzing the Framers’ treatment of corruption asserts that their incorporation of anti-corruption means in the Constitution should be interpreted as a framework to inform contemporary judicial review and jurisprudence. Led by Zephyr Teachout’s article “The Anti-Corruption Principle,” this school of thought asserts that the anti-corruption principle should be on par with separation of powers and freedom of expression, a guiding lodestar in interpreting the Constitution.

This article submits that the anti-corruption principle of constitutional interpretation is, in fact, a rights-based approach to corruption, equating freedom from corruption with the other rights and liberties enshrined in the Constitution. …

China’S New Law On Foreign Relations: Transforming The Rules-Based International Order With Chinese Characteristics, Raul (Pete) Pedrozo

International Law Studies

In 2023 China adopted a comprehensive Law on Foreign Relations. Although the law is intended to shape China’s diplomatic relations and its cultural, economic, and other exchanges, as well as China’s relations with the United Nations and other international organizations, implementation of the law will be guided by (inter alia) Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. The law makes clear that China’s foreign relations will be conducted to uphold its system of socialism with Chinese characteristics, safeguard its sovereignty, unification and territorial integrity, and promote its economic and social development. This revisionist “rule by …

Contested Actors Around The Initiation Of A Non-Judicial Settlement Mechanism For Past Gross Human Rights Violations: A Socio-Legal Study Of The Ppham Team, Abdul Munif

The Indonesian Journal of Socio-Legal Studies

The PPHAM Team (Non-Judicial Resolution of Past Gross Human Rights Violations) was initiated by the Jokowi-Ma'ruf administration as an alternative settlement mechanism for Past Gross Violations of Human Rights through the issuance of Presidential Decree Number 17/2022 (Keppres 17/2022). From this context, the establishment of the policy was criticized and rejected by civil society organizations (CSOs) and the Victims. This was because the PPHAM Team was deemed a measure of State responsibility “hand-washing” and an indication of impunity preservation. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the contestation of actor interests among the State, Victims, CSOs, and others, by emphasizing the …

Sexual Orientation At The Crossroads, Johan D. Van Der Vyver

Marquette Benefits and Social Welfare Law Review

The decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in the case of Bostock v. Clayton County that sexual orientation is included in the concept of “sex” in the non-discrimination provisions of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is historically indefensible. The Civil Rights Act was initiated by President John F. Kennedy to combat racial discrimination in the workplace and the word “sex” was included in the Act by a “claque of Southern Congressmen” as part of a filibuster attempt to prevent its enactment. It was accepted by proponents of the Act on the instructions of President Johnson merely to avoid the …

Towards A New Approach For The Choice Of Insolvency Forum, Anthony J. Casey, Aurelio Gurrea-Martinez, Robert K. Rasmussen

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

The UNCITRAL Model Law on Cross-Border Insolvency (“MLCBI”) turned 26 years in 2023. During this period, it has been adopted in more than 60 jurisdictions around the world and it has significantly contributed to successful management of insolvency proceedings with a cross-border element. Therefore, the MLCBI is an achievement that the international insolvency community needs to celebrate. The MLCBI is built on the idea of “modified universalism”. Therefore, it envisions the commencement of a main procedure in a single jurisdiction even if non-main proceedings can also be opened and the laws of other jurisdictions can still be relevant for certain …

The Future Of Freedom Of Press In Indonesia After The Personal Data Protection Law Era, Untung Sumarwan, Arief Hidayat, Lita Tyesta Alw

Indonesia Law Review

The press is a manifestation of the sovereignty of the Indonesian people. Unfortunately, the spirit of freedom of the press seems to be still experiencing shocks from various angles, one of which is the birth of Law number 27 of 2022 concerning Personal Data Protection (PDP Law). On the one hand, the presence of the PDP Law should be appreciated as a form of government effort to protect citizens' rights to privacy. However, unfortunately, several article provisions in the PDP Law still intersect with the Press, which are not a form of restriction in positive terms but have the potential …
