International Human Rights Standards On Sexual Violence Against Women As They Apply To Pornography, Claudia Giunta
International Human Rights Standards On Sexual Violence Against Women As They Apply To Pornography, Claudia Giunta
LLM Theses and Essays
The United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women was held in Beijing in September 1995, and represented an important step towards the achievement of equality for women. At the Conference, the progress made towards equality was acknowledged, but it was also acknowledged that many goals have not been achieved yet, and that cultural changes of fundamental importance remain to be made. Indeed, in many countries the cultural approach to violence and discrimination against women is quite fatalistic; they believe violence against women cannot be solved by laws. However, this approach overlooks the role played by societies in tolerating practices of …
Are Tuna And Dolphins The Same? A Rule Of Reason Approach To Resolve The Trade And Environment Conflict, Anantha K. Paruthipattu
Are Tuna And Dolphins The Same? A Rule Of Reason Approach To Resolve The Trade And Environment Conflict, Anantha K. Paruthipattu
LLM Theses and Essays
Trade and environment are both primary values in an ecologically and economically interdependent world; unleashing trade without regard to environmental impact is as detrimental as guarding the environment at the expense of trade and development. Tuna and dolphins have come to symbolize the policy struggle between trade and environment. In early 1990, the United States banned the import of tuna from Mexico and other countries that were fishing in a manner that damaged dolphins in the Eastern Tropical Pacific Ocean. Mexico challenged this ban before a GATT Panel, which ruled against the United States and held that the tuna ban …
Federal Reserve: History, Purposes And Functions - An Analysis, Mukunda Lakshamanarao
Federal Reserve: History, Purposes And Functions - An Analysis, Mukunda Lakshamanarao
LLM Theses and Essays
On December 23, 1913, President Woodrow Wilson signed into law the Federal Reserve Act. With this law, Congress established a central banking system which would enable the world’s most powerful industrial nation to manage its money and credit more effectively than ever before. The political and legislative struggle to create the Federal Reserve System was long and often bitter, and this final product in 1913 was the result of a carefully crafted and somewhat tenuous political compromise between national and regional powers. Since its founding, the Federal Reserve System has evolved to meet the needs of a changing financial system …
Jurisdiction, Definition Of Crimes, And Triggering Mechanisms, Christopher L. Blakesley
Jurisdiction, Definition Of Crimes, And Triggering Mechanisms, Christopher L. Blakesley
Scholarly Works
The opportunity to create an international court that provides fair, equitable, and efficient justice is rare and important. It requires expertise in comparative and international law. Problems are serious, however. Failure to address the formidable problems could cause the Court to run a risk of failure that could be disastrous for international law, for the victims of the horrors that have occurred and that will occur, and for the world. Failure could come in at least two forms: (1) the Court could merely be a conduit for retribution after a pro-forma kangaroo court or (2) it will not have sufficient …

The Jerusalem Embassy Act Of 1995, Geoffrey R. Watson
The Jerusalem Embassy Act Of 1995, Geoffrey R. Watson
Scholarly Articles
Congress has voted to move the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. On October 24, 1995 - the day of the Conference on Jerusalem here at the Columbus School of Law of The Catholic University of America - Congress passed the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995. The President took no action on the Act, allowing it to enter into force on November 8, 1995. The Act states that a United States Embassy to Israel should be established in Jerusalem by May 31, 1999, and it provides for a fifty percent cut in the State Department's building budget …
The Victim-Plaintiff In Criminal Trials And Civil Law Responses To Sexual Violence, Alexandra Goy
The Victim-Plaintiff In Criminal Trials And Civil Law Responses To Sexual Violence, Alexandra Goy
Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
The article examines the role of the victim-plaintiff in German criminal trials, particularly in cases involving sexual violence. It highlights the unique procedural rights granted to victim-plaintiffs, such as the ability to participate actively in trials and present evidence. However, the analysis reveals significant practical and systemic barriers that limit the effectiveness of this institution, including restrictive evidentiary rules, financial challenges, and gender biases within the judiciary. The article argues that while the victim-plaintiff institution offers opportunities for victims to seek justice, its impact is undermined by these obstacles, raising concerns about the protection of sexual autonomy and gender equality …
Choice Of The Applicable Law In United States Maritime Law And The Venezuelan System, Daniel Eric Vielleville
Choice Of The Applicable Law In United States Maritime Law And The Venezuelan System, Daniel Eric Vielleville
LLM Theses and Essays
International maritime transport is an important means of transport in international trade. The vessels used in international maritime transport face unique dangers which necessitate maritime law that addresses the perils associated with maritime transport. Maritime law concerns many jurisdictions, which creates a special interest for the study of conflict of laws. There are private international maritime laws in addition to multilateral treaties. This paper analyzes the international approach that the United States takes in maritime conflict of laws, and compares it with the Venezuelan system of private international law. Venezuela is a civil law country with old maritime legislation which …

Social Legislation In The European Community And In The Member States-A Case Of Subsidiarity?, Reinhard Rack
Social Legislation In The European Community And In The Member States-A Case Of Subsidiarity?, Reinhard Rack
Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law
The article examines the principle of subsidiarity within the European Community (EC), highlighting its role in balancing power between the EC and its Member States. While subsidiarity, formalized in the Maastricht Treaty, aims to ensure decision-making occurs at the most effective level, its application often serves political rather than legal purposes, particularly in social legislation. The article critiques the ambiguity of subsidiarity, questioning whether it effectively limits EC power or remains a political tool influenced by public opinion and referendums. It also explores the integration of non-Member States, such as EFTA countries, into the EC framework, emphasizing the challenges of …
The Relevant Market In European Merger Law, Benedicte Haubold
The Relevant Market In European Merger Law, Benedicte Haubold
LLM Theses and Essays
Due to the rapid acceleration of merger movements in the 1980s, the adoption of new merger regulation was a must for the European market. Before the new merger regulation was adopted in 1989, the European Commission used to apply the general competition rules of the Rome Treaty when dealing with mergers. The Commission used to interpret Articles 85 and 86 of the Rome Treaty as a means to condemn mergers that would lead to an abuse of a dominant position at a European level; at that time, there was an absence of complete and systematic control as far as structural …
The Four Doctrines Of Self-Executing Treaties, Carlos Manuel Vázquez
The Four Doctrines Of Self-Executing Treaties, Carlos Manuel Vázquez
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
A distinction has become entrenched in United States law between treaties that are "self-executing" and those that are not. The precise nature of this distinction--indeed, its very existence--is a matter of some controversy and much confusion. More than one lower federal court has pronounced the distinction to be the "most confounding" in the United States law of treaties. A tremendous amount of scholarship has sought to clarify this distinction, but the honest observer cannot but agree with John Jackson's observation that " [t]he substantial volume of scholarly writing on this issue has not yet resolved the confusion" surrounding it. The …
The Influence Of International Practice On The Revision Of Article 5 Of The Ucc, James J. White
The Influence Of International Practice On The Revision Of Article 5 Of The Ucc, James J. White
Articles
The topic of this symposium is the influence that international law has had on domestic law of the United States. I believe that the story of the revision of Article 5 of the Uniform Commercial Code fits here, but some might dispute that. Although it is certainly fair to say that international practice-in a sense international law-was a powerful influence on the revision of Article 5 of the Uniform Commercial Code, that practice, and the way in which that influence was exerted were almost entirely sui generis to the letter of credit law, practice and history.
Administrative Agency Obsolescence And Interest Group Formation: A Case Study Of The Sec At Sixty, Jonathan R. Macey
Administrative Agency Obsolescence And Interest Group Formation: A Case Study Of The Sec At Sixty, Jonathan R. Macey
Cardozo Law Review
A fundamental precept of American law and jurisprudence is that "laws must change to meet the needs of changing times." In particular, the common law system of judging was thought to constitute a uniquely effective mechanism for dealing with the demands posed by rapid change. As Guido Calabresi presciently has observed, during the nineteenth century judges "creatively manipulated and changed common law rules in reaction to changing circumstances," and thereby "the common law was openly and legitimately kept up to date." But, as Dean Calabresi has observed, times have changed. The United States has become a nation dominated by statutes …

Legal Foundations And Institutional Framework Of The Monetary Union In Europe And In The United States, Johan Van Den Cruijce
Legal Foundations And Institutional Framework Of The Monetary Union In Europe And In The United States, Johan Van Den Cruijce
LLM Theses and Essays
An economic and monetary union (EMU) is an area where there is complete freedom of movement of persons, goods, services, and capital. The financial markets in an EMU are completely integrated while the national currencies are conventional and have fixed exchange rates. Ultimately the national currencies may be replaced by a common currency and there will be one monetary policy. The EMU is considered to be the highest form of economic integration. This paper examines two examples of a monetary union; the first part focuses on the blueprint for a European monetary union as laid out in the Treaty on …
Response To Bert Van Roermund, Richard H. Weisberg
Response To Bert Van Roermund, Richard H. Weisberg
Articles
The article responds to Bert van Roermund's arguments about the relationship between law and literature, emphasizing that literature serves as a unique jurisprudential source when it mimetically imitates legal expression. The author argues that literature's value lies in its ability to capture the narrative structures of legal communication, particularly in genres like the novel or novella, which self-consciously replicate legal narrativity. This mimetic quality distinguishes literature from other forms of art and makes it uniquely relevant to legal theory.

The Kuril Islands Dispute: An Obstacle In Russo-Japanese Relations, Roderick J. Fraser Jr.
Marine Affairs Theses and Major Papers
The controversy between Japan and Russia over the ownership of the Kuril Islands is a significant barrier to improved diplomatic relations in the Far Eastern region. Because of this dispute, Japan and Russia have not yet signed a peace treaty to formally end the second world war and neither side seems willing to make any significant concessions to reach a compromise. The issue of ownership of these islands has been a continuing focal point of Russo-Japanese relations since the two nations first made contact in the late eighteenth century. The various aspects of this dispute are complex and have continued …

Comparative Law: Its Purposes And Possibilities, Christopher L. Blakesley
Comparative Law: Its Purposes And Possibilities, Christopher L. Blakesley
Scholarly Works
Comparative law is much more than “matching laws.” Professor Grossfield’s short, lively book will certainly awaken its German reader to the value, indeed necessity, of comparative law and comparative insights in his or her own practice or scholarly work. This, he aims at the skeptic who may think of comparative law or foreign legal systems as arcane and useless fluff, too luxurious for the hard working “practical-minded” practitioner. Professor Grossfield throws the cold water of realization into this skeptic’s face. The message being that considering comparative approaches and theory about similar problems may indeed be as practical as one can …
