“Let Them Eat Cake”: Examining United States Retirement Savings Policy Through The Lens Of International Human Rights Principles, Regina T. Jefferson Jan 2018

“Let Them Eat Cake”: Examining United States Retirement Savings Policy Through The Lens Of International Human Rights Principles, Regina T. Jefferson

Scholarly Articles

This article uses an international human rights framework to analyze and critique the effectiveness of the United States' retirement system and its underlying policies. The article challenges the ongoing pension reform debate to include considerations outside traditional economic theory, such as income inequality, the dignity of the elderly, and the irreducible mutuality of people. While a human rights analysis will not yield a precise policy prescription for the retirement savings crisis, it will serve as an additional framework within which the government's economic and social policies regarding the treatment of the elderly can be evaluated, expanding the focus and range …


International Law And The Balfour Decision, Geoffrey R. Watson Jan 2018

International Law And The Balfour Decision, Geoffrey R. Watson

Scholarly Articles

The Balfour Declaration had enormous political significance, but did it have any legal force? Was it legally binding, exposing Britain to legal remedies for its breach, or was it merely an expression of policy that could be disregarded without legal consequences? These questions are of intense interest to legal historians, but they also have contemporary political relevance. The issue is not so much whether Britain might be liable to the Palestinians for failing to safeguard the “civil and religious rights” of non-Jewish residents of Palestine, though that is a theoretical possibility. Instead, the question is whether the Declaration is legally …

Women’S Rights In The Dprk: Discrepancies Between International And Domestic Legal Instruments In Promoting Women’S Rights And The Reality Reflected By North Korean Defectors, Jina Yang Jan 2018

Women’S Rights In The Dprk: Discrepancies Between International And Domestic Legal Instruments In Promoting Women’S Rights And The Reality Reflected By North Korean Defectors, Jina Yang

Cornell International Law Journal

It is commendable that the DPRK has ratified the CEDAW and has established legislative measures to protect women from violence and guarantee equal protection. However short of internationally accepted human rights standard the DPRK may fall, such actions show that the DPRK is nonetheless trying to be a responsible member of the international community. However, many findings show that women’s rights are far from reaching the international standards, because of patriarchal traditions that are entrenched to the North Korean society and the national institutions related to women’s rights, which are used to mobilize women to work for the state, rather …

War By Committee: An Examination Of Legislative War Powers, Nicholas Creel Jan 2018

War By Committee: An Examination Of Legislative War Powers, Nicholas Creel

University of Baltimore Journal of International Law

This paper will serve as an examination of the powers and limitations of the United States legislative branch of government in matters of war. In doing this, precedence will be given to specifically enumerated powers granted or withheld by the current Constitution of the United States. Founding documents, such as the Articles of Confederation and early state constitutions will also be examined and contrasted with the current legal regime in an attempt to better understand the true meaning behind the Constitution. International law, as it applies to American war powers, will also be examined when relevant.

The Stateless: Millions Of People Forgotten And Left Without Adequate Immigration Assistance, Where Does The United States Fit Into The Plight Of The Stateless?, Jasmine Pope

University of Baltimore Journal of International Law

What is citizenship? What does it mean to be American, French, Sudanese, Thai, or Bolivian? Is it simply being born in any given country or is it something more than that? These are questions that for many people, they rarely think about on a daily basis, and yet for some, this question plagues every second and every ounce of their being. On a Sunday afternoon in December, thousands of people watch National Football League games. Prior to the start of every game, the National Anthem is sung. Some fans sing along, some fans stand in silence, some players pray, and …


Impacts Of The Circumspection Of Women’S Rights Abroad On International Adoption, Jennifer Bowman Jan 2018

Impacts Of The Circumspection Of Women’S Rights Abroad On International Adoption, Jennifer Bowman

University of Baltimore Journal of International Law

International adoption has been lauded and derided by the public since its initial surge into popularity following the Second World War. While international adoptions are regulated by numerous legal instruments (international and domestic), problems of gender discrimination, exploitation, and human trafficking are widespread and systemic. This article examines the impacts of the circumspection of women’s rights generally and women’s reproductive rights on international adoption. Ultimately this article argues that foreign policy initiatives promoting women’s reproductive freedoms economic empowerment would mitigate the problematic features of international adoption and they would be an important step toward reducing adoption rates generally. This article …


Let’S Have Soufflé Instead: Selective Reform Of The Investor-State Dispute Settlement Regime, Esther-Jane Grenness Jan 2018

Let’S Have Soufflé Instead: Selective Reform Of The Investor-State Dispute Settlement Regime, Esther-Jane Grenness

University of Baltimore Journal of International Law

A network of agreements comprising the investment treaty law regime cover international investments. It is a system rife with abuses made possible by loopholes and an inconsistent body of law. The system is in a legitimacy crisis and many seek to dismantle it entirely. Numerous alternatives and improvements have been proffered but few impactful steps have been taken to mitigate the problems within it. This comment advocates for an incremental approach that keeps the parts of the system that work while removing aspects that enable the most egregious abuses.
