Emerging Issues: Transcanada V. Obama Administration – 15 Billion For Cancellation Of Keystone Xl Pipeline Project, Aviana Cooper

University of Baltimore Journal of International Law

TransCanada Keystone Pipeline, LP and TC Oil Pipeline Operations Inc., subsidiaries of TransCanada Corporation (“TransCanada”), lost their seven-year bid with the United States (U.S.) Government for a permit to complete the $5.4 billion oil pipeline connecting Canada and the U.S. On November 6, 2015, President Obama announced that Secretary of State, John Kerry, through powers under Executive Order 13337, had denied the application for a border crossing permit, prohibiting construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline Project. Following this denial, on January 6, 2016, TransCanada filed a complaint to the District Court of Texas against members of the Obama Administration, requesting …


A Comparative Empirical Study Of Negotiation In Criminal Proceedings Between Brazil And The United States Of America, Ricardo Gueiros Bernardes Dias Jan 2016

A Comparative Empirical Study Of Negotiation In Criminal Proceedings Between Brazil And The United States Of America, Ricardo Gueiros Bernardes Dias

University of Baltimore Journal of International Law

The present research aims to understand the law in regards to the types of negotiations performed under the law of criminal procedure and to understand how the discursive practice of lawyers can organize social practices from a comparative empirical perspective of Brazil and the United States of America. Thus, the research comparatively investigates the institutional processes for the establishment of truth before the bodies of the judicial branch in Brazil (metropolitan region of Vitória, ES-Brazil) and in the U.S. (California, San Francisco) and focuses on their differences in their criminal negotiation in the special criminal courts and the institution of …

Emerging Issues: South China Sea Takeover: Destroying Fisheries And Creating Economic Dead-Lands For Surrounding Coastal States, Aviana Cooper Jan 2016

Emerging Issues: South China Sea Takeover: Destroying Fisheries And Creating Economic Dead-Lands For Surrounding Coastal States, Aviana Cooper

University of Baltimore Journal of International Law

China’s rapid takeover of the South China Sea unequivocally goes against what the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Seas permits. China’s control has had, and will continue to have disparaging effects on neighboring countries in their shipment of supplies, food, and other materials. The reclamation of the island landmasses in dispute, the Spratly and Paracel islands, by China has grown about 50% since May 2015.1 Presently, China has built a 3,000 foot aircraft runway and reformed many of the coral reefs surrounding the islands into artificial islands for the “future” usage to place buildings and homes for …

Student Comment: Ttip: A Free Trade Agreement That Strengthens The International Trade Environment And Enhances The Regulatory Powers Of The Wto, Suzanne De Deyne Jan 2016

Student Comment: Ttip: A Free Trade Agreement That Strengthens The International Trade Environment And Enhances The Regulatory Powers Of The Wto, Suzanne De Deyne

University of Baltimore Journal of International Law

This comment discusses the Transatlantic Trade Investment Partnership (TTIP or the Partnership), a bi-lateral trade agreement between the United States and the European Union, in relation to the World Trade Organization (WTO). TTIP pushes the world towards greater trade liberalization, and if implemented, such a trade agreement would affect trillions of dollars in existing trade. When trade barriers are reduced, a significant amount of new possibilities open up, especially in regards to potential markets for exports, growth and improvement of competitive products, and reduction in the losses associated the border. Since its establishment, the WTO has sought to establish an …

First, we must try to identify the fundamental right to a healthy environment, in its internal dimension and as a human right, at the international level. We used the bibliographic technique and deductive methodology to develop the research. The results at the conclusion evidence that the behavior of political and economic agents has a direct impact on the level of environmental protection. In the United …


Globalization, Global Governance, And Challenges To Contemporary Constitutionalism: The (Trans) Constitutional Perspective And The Dialogue Among Jurisdictions, Thaís Vandresen, Maria Cláudia S. Antunes De Souza Jan 2016

Globalization, Global Governance, And Challenges To Contemporary Constitutionalism: The (Trans) Constitutional Perspective And The Dialogue Among Jurisdictions, Thaís Vandresen, Maria Cláudia S. Antunes De Souza

University of Baltimore Journal of International Law

This article focuses on the challenges facing contemporary constitutionalism before the irreversibility of globalization and the prospect of global governance. The goal of this article is to identify the proposals concerning the development of a global constitutionalism, as well as analyze the limits and possibilities of proposed trans-constitutionalism as an alternative to establish juridical “dialogues” among different legal normative orders. The study is justified, having in mind the need for re-contextualization of contemporary constitutionalism, given the fragility of the concept of sovereignty and the multiplicity of regulatory sources, especially concerning the international protection of human rights. Rationale inductive basis was …

Holding The Executive Accountable In Egypt, Impeachment: A Losing Case, Dr. Mohamed Abdelaal Jan 2016

Holding The Executive Accountable In Egypt, Impeachment: A Losing Case, Dr. Mohamed Abdelaal

University of Baltimore Journal of International Law

This paper examines the impeachment mechanism in Egypt after the 2011 Revolution and the 2013 events and the removal of Presidents Hosni Mubarak and Mohamed Morsi. In doing so, the paper will provide a critical analysis to the impeachment clauses in both the 2012 and 2014 Constitutions, in an attempt to discover to what extent the pre 2011 impeachment differs from that of post 2011. Further, it addresses the issue of whether the recall election could make a good alternative to impeachment in Egypt. Specifically, we will briefly shed light on the history of the recall device as well as …


Potential Impacts On Individuals Caused By The Invasion Of Ngos Into International Politics, Zhao Li, Haibin Qi Jan 2016

Potential Impacts On Individuals Caused By The Invasion Of Ngos Into International Politics, Zhao Li, Haibin Qi

University of Baltimore Journal of International Law

In the contemporary world, NGOs are playing significant roles in international cooperation and globalization. This actively promotes the formation of a global society. Accompanying that, NGOs also have an increased international political influence. Against this background, some scholars believe the rise of NGOs will create an era of individuals’ emancipation from the sovereign states, while others consider that the golden age of autonomy has passed. This paper studies the essence of the association dominated by NGOs and how this association affects individuals in international politics. This paper suggests that the ideal subject for NGOs is one with clearly defined and …


Semantic Reversal: Individual, Person, Individualism, Individualization, And Subject Of Fundamental Rights, Brunela Viera De Vincenzi Jan 2016

Semantic Reversal: Individual, Person, Individualism, Individualization, And Subject Of Fundamental Rights, Brunela Viera De Vincenzi

University of Baltimore Journal of International Law

Based upon the theory of justice, founded on reciprocal and co-operative recognition, this study seeks to demonstrate that there are alternative means of dispute resolution within the spheres of family and work, which produce binding decisions that are accepted by the parties to the conflict as fair. At the same time, it also seeks to demonstrate that certain conflicts cannot be withdrawn from the pur-view and judgment of the State Judiciary System, with the goal of reestablishing the confidence that individuals have in the decision-making system of the state legal system.


Reparation, Restoration, Incarceration: Comparative Perspectives On The African-American Reparations Problem, Michael A. Livingston Jan 2016

Reparation, Restoration, Incarceration: Comparative Perspectives On The African-American Reparations Problem, Michael A. Livingston

University of Baltimore Journal of International Law

The proposal of reparations to African-Americans for slavery and subsequent offenses has stimulated a great deal of academic attention but little practical action. One reason for this is the indifference of non-black Americans and the lack of historical consciousness in a pragmatic, forward-looking culture. Yet some AfricanAmericans also have mixed feelings about reparations, preferring to concentrate on current problems rather than seek repayment for past wrongs, and perhaps even considering the debate as a divergence from more pressing, immediate problems.

Transnational Support And Legal Education Reform In Developing Countries: Findings And Lessons From Burma/Myanmar, Jonathan Liljeblad Jan 2016

Transnational Support And Legal Education Reform In Developing Countries: Findings And Lessons From Burma/Myanmar, Jonathan Liljeblad

Loyola University Chicago International Law Review

Myanmar's current transition involves a concerted international effort to promote the rule of law. Legal education is integral to promoting the rule of law, and so calls for development aid that works to improve a country's legal education system. The nature of development aid, however, calls for some analysis of its efficacy. This paper contributes to this call by taking as a case study the state of transnational aid efforts to improve legal education in Burma/Myanmar, and finds issues that threaten the efficacy of international aid efforts to reform legal education in developing countries. The analysis concludes with recommendations to …

Toward A New Framework For Understanding Political Opinion, Catherine Dauvergne Jan 2016

Toward A New Framework For Understanding Political Opinion, Catherine Dauvergne

Michigan Journal of International Law

This paper was written to frame the work of the Seventh Colloquium on Challenges in International Refugee Law, held at the University of Michigan Faculty of Law, on March 27–29, 2015. To some extent, therefore, it has already served its purpose. It is somewhat tempting in the wake of the Colloquium to completely reconstruct the paper in light of the conversations and conclusions of that event. Such reconstruction, however, would be misleading. Instead, I have chosen to publish the paper in a form that is very similar to its earlier iteration, with a few corrections, clarifications, and explanatory notes about …


During War, The Law Is Silent, Or Is It: Examining The Legal Status Of Guantanomo Bay, Kate Frisch Jan 2016

During War, The Law Is Silent, Or Is It: Examining The Legal Status Of Guantanomo Bay, Kate Frisch

Richmond Journal of Global Law & Business

Instead, I argue that international human rights law precludes the existence of any "legal black hole." Human rights law protects the rights and liberties of individuals purely based on their status as human beings, regardless of their location. Therefore, an individual's rights cannot be suspended. As a result, it must be the responsibility of the entity that holds custody and control over the individual to protect those rights. In order to enforce the protection of human rights, international responsibilities stemming from treaties that have solidified the individual nature of the rights must be used as an instrument for enforcement to …
