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 …

Climate Change Under Customary International Law: Must The United States Protect The Climate System?,

Climate Change Under Customary International Law: Must The United States Protect The Climate System?, Daniel Rees
Fordham Law Review
On July 23, 2025, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) issued its “Advisory Opinion on Obligations of States in Respect of Climate Change,” concluding that “the full gamut of international law applies to climate change.” Beyond treaty-based duties, the ICJ recognized that customary international law imposes obligations on all states to protect the climate. The advisory opinion emerged from unprecedented participation by states and international organizations, reflecting a growing consensus that addressing climate change is a legal obligation. This Note explores the legal implications of recognizing a customary international law duty to protect the climate system. It posits that these …

The Legal Framework For Offshore Carbon Dioxide Storage In Canada: 2026 Update, Rebecca Lowy, Romany M. Webb
Sabin Center for Climate Change Law
In February 2021, the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law published a white paper on the legal framework for the Solid Carbon project, which aims to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it in the sub-seabed off the coast of Canada. That paper identified international and domestic Canadian law which could affect the implementation of such a project. Five years later, we now revisit that paper to provide updates on the project approach and technologies, and the relevant legal frameworks.
The U.S. Tax Paradox,

The U.S. Tax Paradox, Doron Narotzki, Tamir Shanan, Reuven S. Avi-Yonah
Texas A&M Law Review
The U.S. federal tax system is a paradox. It rejects one of the most effective and widely used federal revenue tools while embracing one of the most inefficient and economically harmful taxes. U.S. policymakers dismiss proven solutions as politically unfeasible yet rely on a system that disproportionately burdens consumers and disrupts trade both domestically and internationally. This contradiction is not just irrational. It undermines the very principles of sound tax policy and economic stability.
This Article traces the historical roots of this paradox, from early American tax revolts to modern trade policies, exposing the irony of a nation that once …
When The Monsoon No Longer Returns: Climate Racism And Displacement In Pakistan,

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 …

Citizenship At Sea: A Comparative Perspective On Blue Justice In The Andaman Sea And The Mediterranean In The Context Of Climate Change, Emilio Cocco
Pace Environmental Law Review
Discourses of the ocean in the sociological and socio-legal world have, until recently, been approached from majoritarian, terrestrial, profane and nation-centric perspectives. These perspectives are embedded in legal and regulatory regimes to the detriment of Indigenous and marginalized maritime communities. Drawing on the blue turn in sociology and socio-legal scholarship, this Article, in comparing the experiences of the Moken people of the Andaman Sea with those of migrants, fishers, and island communities in the Mediterranean, exposes the violence of such narratives. Through a comparative analysis of maritime borders, marine protected areas, tourism, and fisheries regulation, the Article explores how governance …

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 …
