Beyond The Legal Black Hole: Hyper-Legality, Deferral, And Detention In Northeast Syria, Grace T. Harmon
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis examines the detention of suspected ISIS affiliates and their family members held in facilities administered by the Kurdish-led authorities in North-East Syria. Thousands of foreign nationals remain detained without trial, without repatriation, and in conditions widely criticized as inhumane. Existing scholarship and political discourse often describe these facilities as legal voids, limbo, or black holes where law has broken down or ceased to apply. This thesis challenges that characterization. Rather than existing outside the law, the facilities are governed through overlapping frameworks of international humanitarian law, international human rights law, counterterrorism security resolutions, and domestic laws. I argue …

More Than Net Zero: Responsible Corporate Board Activity & The Just Transition, Anita Ramasastry, Colleen Penny
Rule of Law Initiative
A just transition is about more than reaching net-zero emissions. Originally rooted in US trade union efforts to protect workers, the concept now includes broader human rights impacts, such as ensuring that workers, communities, and lower-income countries are not left behind as economies move towards environmental sustainability.1 A transition to a green economy should be one that respects human rights and addresses negative impacts arising from shifts in business activity. Put simply a just transition is one that is rights-respecting.
The United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) urge companies to take a proactive approach to prevent …

Ai Suffrage For Human Flourishing, Simon Goldstein, Guha Krishnamurthi, Peter N. Salib
Fordham Law Review
Should Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems have the vote? One approach to this question is to explore AI systems’ moral characteristics, asking whether they possess the qualities that entitle humans to equal political standing and, consequently, suffrage. Those are important questions. But they are very hard ones, resting on highly contestable premises about ethics, AI, and humanity.
We instead take a functionalist approach: On the current trajectory, AIs will soon be highly agentic and capable, while remaining difficult to align with human objectives. If so, law will be an essential tool for shaping such systems’ behavior to favor positive-sum cooperation with …
Algorithmic Models And The Freedom Of Speech,

Algorithmic Models And The Freedom Of Speech, Alexander Tsesis
Fordham Law Review
Intentionality and reason are intrinsic features of the human mind that large language models (LLMs) entirely lack. Although LLMs generate natural-language sentences through algorithmic processes, autonomously produced machine speech lacks the consciousness of human speakers. This intrinsic distinction between natural persons and artificial machines is consequential to whether LLM-generated outputs are covered by the First Amendment. Scholars who equate the constitutional value of human speech with algorithmic outputs tend to emphasize the informational value of those outputs to audiences while giving insufficient attention to the absence of machine consciousness. The conscious underpinnings of thought and their relation to constitutional protections …
When The Monsoon No Longer Returns: Climate Racism And Displacement In Pakistan,

Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University
When The Monsoon No Longer Returns: Climate Racism And Displacement In Pakistan, Ayman Irfan
Pace Environmental Law Review
International law does not recognize climate displacement as a distinct legal category. Refugee law protects those fleeing persecution, not environmental collapse. Climate treaties regulate emissions and finance but avoid enforceable responsibility for the human consequences of warming. Human rights law intervenes only at extreme thresholds. This fragmentation leaves millions displaced by climate-intensified disasters without coherent protection. Using Pakistan’s 2022 floods as a case study, this Article argues that climate-induced displacement must be treated as a foreseeable legal consequence of atmospheric harm. Pakistan contributes less than one percent of global greenhouse gas emissions yet ranks among the most climate-vulnerable states. The …

Mass Resettlement Politics And The Future Of Hyper-Local Climate Migration Strategies, Sarah Rogerson
Pace Environmental Law Review
Climate change is requiring state and local governments to engage in short- and long-term strategic thinking and municipal planning. Critically, the movement of people from communities that have become uninhabitable due to climate change to other communities in more resilient areas (sometimes called “climate havens”) is a reality that most municipalities in the United States are not currently well-equipped to address. Experts predict as many as 1.2 billion climate-related migrants worldwide by 2050, with at least 93 million Americans expected to relocate to more habitable places by 2070. To put this into perspective, 93 million people is just under the …

Climate Migration And Reparations: Reflections On The Icj Advisory Opinion On Climate Change, Carmen G. Gonzalez
Pace Environmental Law Review
Climate mobility governance is at an inflection point. Major developments, such as the International Court of Justice (ICJ) Advisory Opinion on climate change, are opening legal pathways to climate reparations and reshaping global policy debates on climate-induced migration. Climate-vulnerable states and peoples are calling for reparations for the intertwined injustices of slavery, colonialism and climate change and for legal frameworks that recognize the right to stay and the right to migrate based on the right to self-determination. This article examines the legal and ethical basis for reparative approaches to climate-induced migration. The article discusses the link between climate change and …
