Same-Sex Spouses Lost In Translation? How To Interpret “Spouse” In The E.U. Family Migration Directives, Scott Titshaw Apr 2016

Same-Sex Spouses Lost In Translation? How To Interpret “Spouse” In The E.U. Family Migration Directives, Scott Titshaw

Articles

This Article analyzes the word “spouse” in the European Union’s Family Migration Directives in detail, focusing on the treatment of married bi-national same-sex couples. Through these directives, the European Union exercises significant authority over family-based immigration and internal migration, expressly providing immigration rights to the “spouses” of E.U. citizens and legal residents. However, family law, including the familial status of “spouses” is governed by individual E.U. member states. While a growing number of member states authorize same-sex marriage, the majority still do not. The E.U., therefore, must determine how to treat migrating couples who are legal spouses in one member …

Legal Approaches To Combating Sex Trafficking: A Compilation Of Research And A Comparative Analysis Of The Most Effective Means Of Reducing Trafficking Globally, Emily Ann Larkins Apr 2016

Legal Approaches To Combating Sex Trafficking: A Compilation Of Research And A Comparative Analysis Of The Most Effective Means Of Reducing Trafficking Globally, Emily Ann Larkins

Selected Honors Theses

This research explores the relationship between three important factors necessary for reducing sex trafficking globally through a comparative analysis of four specific countries and their success in addressing these factors. The three factors that will be discussed in their relation to sex trafficking are government cooperation, border control, and illegalization of prostitution. These factors were chosen based on how consistently they showed up in research done for this thesis. The countries chosen for analysis-Sweden, the Netherlands, Thailand, and Singapore- were chosen based on region, trafficking levels, and unique facts that stood out as potentially significant. As will be discussed, Sweden …

The Transformation Of South African Private Law After Twenty Years Of Democracy, Christopher J. Roederer Apr 2016

The Transformation Of South African Private Law After Twenty Years Of Democracy, Christopher J. Roederer

Northwestern Journal of Human Rights

In The Transformation of South African Private Law after Ten Years of Democracy, 37 Colum. Hum. Rts. L. Rev. 447 (2006), I evaluated the role of private law in consolidating South Africa’s constitutional democracy. There, I traced the negative effects of apartheid from public law to private law, and then to the law of delict, South Africa’s counterpart to tort law. I demonstrated that the law of delict failed to develop under apartheid and that the values animating the law of delict under apartheid were inconsistent with the values and aspirations of South Africa’s democratic transformation. By the end of …

Humanitarian Intervention: Determining The Effectiveness Of Outsourcing Humanitarian Intervention During Humanitarian Crises, Clarissa Caola Apr 2016

Humanitarian Intervention: Determining The Effectiveness Of Outsourcing Humanitarian Intervention During Humanitarian Crises, Clarissa Caola

Political Science Theses and Capstones

At the end of the Cold War we witnessed a growing reluctance on part of many national powers to intervene in international crises. This unwillingness allowed for the development of Private Military and Security Companies (PMSCs). PMSCs have been deployed to provide a wide variety of security-related functions including combat, logistics, training programs, and armed guarding of personnel and infrastructures. Exploring the concept of outsourcing these military functions, others have applied the idea towards addressing humanitarian crises. PMSCs may face fewer geopolitical impediments that can hinder the efforts of many state actors. In certain humanitarian crises PMSCs may better address …

Crimea And The Right To Self-Determination: Questioning The Legality Of Crimea's Secession From Ukraine, Alisa Gdalina Apr 2016

Crimea And The Right To Self-Determination: Questioning The Legality Of Crimea's Secession From Ukraine, Alisa Gdalina

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The note argues that Crimea's unilateral secession from Ukraine in 2014 was illegal under both domestic Ukrainian law and international law. It contends that Crimea failed to meet the legal criteria for remedial secession, as it did not suffer the requisite severe and persistent human rights violations or exhaustion of alternatives, and that the secession violated Ukraine's constitutional provisions on territorial integrity.


High Time For Change: How Legalizing Marijuana Could Help Narrow The Racial Divide In The United States, Gene Taras Apr 2016

High Time For Change: How Legalizing Marijuana Could Help Narrow The Racial Divide In The United States, Gene Taras

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The note argues that legalizing marijuana in the United States could significantly reduce the racial disparities perpetuated by the war on drugs. It traces the origins of marijuana prohibition to racially motivated policies and highlights how these laws disproportionately affect minority communities. By examining international models and domestic legalization efforts, the article suggests that ending prohibition could address systemic inequities and generate economic benefits.
