California's Autonomy Under The Clean Air Act: Does Epa Have The Authority To Withdraw An Emissions Standards Waiver?, Ethan Siegel

Cardozo International & Comparative Law Review

The note argues that the EPA lacks the authority to unilaterally revoke the 2013 Clean Air Act (CAA) waiver granted to California. It contends that the EPA must rely on preemption under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) rather than asserting inherent authority or reinterpretation of the CAA text to justify revocation.

Constitutive Choices: Section 230 And First Amendment Values Versus Fosta And President Trump's Executive Order, Scott Memmel, Christopher Terry

Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal

In 2018, the Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act (FOSTA) produced the first category of speech not provided immunity by Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. This first cut against Section 230 was followed by President Donald Trump's May 2020 executive order aimed at limiting the legal protections for social media companies. Both of these actions represent a new battle over old ideas about protecting expression. This Article uses Paul Starr's "Constitutive Choices" model to suggest that Section 230 represents a legacy of laws and regulations designed to foster free speech and access to information. …

Banning The Full-Face Veil: Freedom Of Religion And Non-Discrimination In The Human Rights Committee And The European Court Of Human Rights, Sarah H. Cleveland

Faculty Scholarship

What is, or should be, the relationship between claims of violations of the right to manifest one’s religion as a result of a generally applicable law or policy, and claims of indirect discrimination on grounds of religion?

The interrelationship of human rights protections is not a new question. Just as rights may conflict, rights may also overlap. The arrest of a human rights activist for expressing her views could violate both the prohibition against arbitrary detention and her freedom of expression. Excessive use of force against peaceful demonstrators could violate their rights to freedom of assembly, freedom of expression, and …

Análisis Crítico Del Perjuicio Fiscal En El Régimen Peruano De Precios De Transferencia, In Tratado De Derecho Tributario Iberoamericano: En Homenaje A: Julio A. Fernández Cartagena (Daniel Yacolca Estares Ed., 2021), Fernando Loayza Jordán

Books and Chapters

El régimen peruano de precios de transferencia limita la aplicación de ajustes que afecten negativamente a la recaudación tributaria, de modo tal que solo se permiten ajustes cuando estos corrijan el perjuicio fiscal que se generaría por la aplicación del IR sobre un valor distinto al de mercado. Por lo tanto, la importancia del perjuicio fiscal como requisito para realizar ajustes reside en constituirse como la condición que determinará si la asignación del valor de una transacción será (i) el valor de mercado según el ALP o (ii) el precio pactado entre las partes de la transacción. Este doble estándar …

Decolonizing Indigenous Migration, Angela R. Riley, Kristen A. Carpenter

Publications

As global attention turns increasingly to issues of migration, the Indigenous identity of migrants often remains invisible. At the U.S.-Mexico border, for example, a significant number of the individuals now being detained are people of indigenous origin, whether Kekchi, Mam, Achi, Ixil, Awakatek, Jakaltek or Qanjobal, coming from communities in Venezuela, Honduras, Guatemala and other countries. They may be leaving their homelands precisely because their rights as Indigenous Peoples, for example the right to occupy land collectively and without forcible removal, have been violated. But once they reach the United States, they are treated as any other migrants, without regard …

Put More Women In Charge And Other Leadership Lessons From Covid-19, Peter H. Huang

Publications

COVID-19 teaches us lessons about leadership, the most important of which is to put more women in charge. This Article provides an interdisciplinary analysis of these lessons, which come at the very high price of many forever disrupted and lost human lives. COVID-19 is a global tragedy. COVID-19 can also be a cruel, relentless and unforgiving teacher of valuable lessons about leadership. During COVID-19, leaders had to quickly mobilize many resources and convince many people to change their established behaviors and familiar routines. Leaders had to rely on effective and persuasive communication to achieve buy-in and voluntary compliance by a …

What Accounts For The Variation Of Immigration Policies In Western Democracies Since 9/11?, Hayley Mcelroy

Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects

From the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks to now, there has been a dramatic change of immigration policies among Western Democracies. This comparative paper will measure the change of refugee acceptance rates and will discover the reasons for these variations. Immigration has become a major issue in the United States as well as in other Western democracies. Even though most of these democracies are located in similar geographic areas and have similar cultures, they all have different approaches when it comes to accepting immigrants and refugees. Furthermore, this paper will analyze the policies of the United States, the United …

History, System, Principle, Analogy: Four Paradigms Of Legitimacy In European Law, Paul Linden-Retek

Journal Articles

The constitutional dimension of European Union law promises—in its most ambitious forms—reflexive structures of post-national democratic community. But this ambition poses profound philosophical challenges for how we think about the legitimacy of European judiciaries—the relation between legal decision-making and the ideal of post-national self-authorship. European constitutional law not only coordinates new forms of public power, but its jurisprudence also normatively justifies (or fails to justify) that power in what must be similarly reflexive discourses of legitimation.This article argues that theorists of European law have thus far paid too little attention to the thicker socio-cultural registers through which this legitimation occurs. …

Forget Bit: The Impact Of Rta On Fdi And Economic Growth – A Comparison Of Brazil And Mexico, Rosa Meguerian-Faria

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

This article explores the relationship between international trade law, foreign direct investment (FDI), and economic growth of developing countries. Here, I argue that a developing state needs to capture the right combination of the different types of FDI to promote domestic growth. I apply principles of law, economics, and finance to my analysis of the importance of Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs), compared to Regional Trade Agreements (RTAs) to FDI inflow, and how it can impact economic growth in developing countries. I show that the RTAs give a signal that the country is open to foreign investment, and therefore it promotes …
