Navigating The Eu’S Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive: Strategic Implications For Us Companies, Silvia Ciacchi, Michael Faure, Sharon Oded
Michigan Business & Entrepreneurial Law Review
The European Union’s (“EU”) Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (“CSDDD” or the “Directive”) introduces new human rights and environmental obligations that reshape global corporate governance. This paper explores its impact on US companies, with a particular focus on compliance strategies under both direct and indirect applicability. It contrasts tactical compliance, which emphasizes risk mitigation while meeting minimum legal requirements, against strategic compliance, where companies use sustainability to gain a competitive edge in the market.
This paper highlights how varying enforcement levels across EU Member States may incentivize companies to “forum shop” or choose jurisdictions with more relaxed enforcement. It also …

Commercial Space Mining: From Competitive Secrecy To Transparency, Sustainability, And Governance Challenges In The New Race For Extraterrestrial Resources, Frányerson R. López Ochoa
Discovery Day - Daytona Beach
Commercial space mining is becoming integral to the space economy, driven by the need for resources such as water, metals, and platinum-group metals (PGMs) from asteroids and the Moon. It should be noted that these resources have the potential to support long-duration space missions through in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) and Earth-based economic activities. Companies such as AstroForge and TransAstra are leading this transition, from government-led exploration to commercial activity. The paper examines the environmental, technological, and legal implications of asteroid mining, using these companies as case studies. While AstroForge has progressed to in-space demonstrations with its Odin spacecraft in 2025 …

Recommendations For An International Regulatory Regime For Commercial Space, Margaret O'Brien
Discovery Day - Daytona Beach
The rapid advancement of space technologies in both governmental and private sectors presents a significant challenge for existing space law frameworks. Emerging activities such as space mining are gaining international attention, yet lawmakers struggle to craft regulations for an industry that is still in development. Innovators and investors often hesitate to assume risk in the absence of clear international guidelines. This research explores the complex legal and policy considerations surrounding space resource utilization, including the lack of consensus with existing treaties, the unpredictability of potential hazards, and the widening technological gap between industrialized and developing nations. Historical frameworks, such as …

St. John's Law Review
(Excerpt)
The 100th anniversary of the founding of the Law School is a wonderful occasion to discuss how research and teaching form us as professors within the St. John’s community. I teach, research, and write about international law, international human rights, diplomacy, and the ways in which international law becomes law in the United States. I also teach civil procedure and international litigation. These two strands of my work allow me to think about the complex interplay between international law and domestic court procedure. I also have professional experience in each of these areas: First, as a career diplomat for …
Shedding Light On International Criminal Law,

Professor of International Public Law-Faculty of Law and Political Science, Beirut Arab University-Beirut-Lebanon
Shedding Light On International Criminal Law, Mohamad Walid Abdulrahim
BAU Journal - Journal of Legal Studies - مجلة الدراسات القانونية
The article sheds the light on International Criminal Law (ICL), one of the modern branches of Public International Law that defines international crimes and establishes the legal framework for prosecuting individuals responsible for the commission of these crimes, through substantive and procedural rules. It traces the historical evolution of the law, from traditional crimes like piracy and war crimes to the contemporary inclusion of international crimes: genocide, crimes against humanity, and the crime of aggression. Furthermore, it traces the evolution of enforcement mechanisms from the exclusive jurisdiction of national courts to ad hoc international tribunals and then to the International …

The 2024 New European Pact On Migration And Asylum: Recasting The European Legal Framework For Asylum Between Protection Guarantees And The Effectiveness Of Migration Management, Ali Mourad
BAU Journal - Journal of Legal Studies - مجلة الدراسات القانونية
The New European Pact on Migration and Asylum, adopted on 14 May 2024, constitutes one of the most far-reaching reforms undertaken by the European Union in this field. Through a package of ten legislative instruments, it reorganizes screening at the external borders, procedures for international protection, the determination of the Member State responsible, solidarity mechanisms, crisis and force majeure situations, and the role of databases and European Union agencies. This reform emerged in a context in which the migration crises of 2015 and 2016 exposed the limits of the Dublin system, whose application, particularly the irregular-entry criterion—concentrated responsibility in practice …
The Extension Of The Arbitration Clause To Non-Signatories In Qatar's Construction Arbitration: A Study Under Law No. 2 Of 2017,

The Extension Of The Arbitration Clause To Non-Signatories In Qatar's Construction Arbitration: A Study Under Law No. 2 Of 2017, Nazir Hasen Ikhlayel
Maurer Theses and Dissertations
This dissertation examines whether an arbitration clause in a construction contract governed by Qatar Arbitration Law No. 2 of 2017 can be extended to a non-signatory party. The study addresses a problem that arises in major construction projects, in which employers, main contractors, subcontractors, consultants, and suppliers are linked by separate yet interdependent contracts. At the same time, arbitration remains structured around bilateral consent.
The importance of the study lies in its relevance to Qatar’s legal and economic development. Qatar’s major infrastructure projects, including those accelerated by the 2022 FIFA World Cup and those continuing under Qatar National Vision 2030, …

The State’S Responsibility To Prevent And Investigate Violations Of The Right To Life In The Beirut Port Explosion, Ali Wehbi Dib
BAU Journal - Journal of Legal Studies - مجلة الدراسات القانونية
The right to life is recognised in International Human Rights Law (IHRL) as the "supreme right." It is considered a jus cogens norm, fundamental for both individuals and society as a whole. IHRL provides a general guarantee of the right to life. To effectively protect it, the state must take all feasible measures to prevent violations of the right to life and to respond to them. This includes investigating incidents and, when appropriate, prosecuting and punishing those responsible.
The Beirut Port explosion on 4 August 2020 was one of the most powerful non-nuclear explosions in history. It resulted in the …
