‘A Hussy Who Rode On Horseback In Sexy Underwear In Front Of The Prisoners’: The Trials Of Buchenwald’S Ilse Koch, Mark A. Drumbl, Solange Mouthaan

Scholarly Articles

Ilse Koch’s trials for her role in atrocities at the Nazi Buchenwald concentration camp served as visual spectacles and primed her portrayal in media and public spaces. Koch’s conduct was credibly rumored to be one of frequent affairs, simultaneous lovers, and the sexual humiliation of prisoners. The gendered construction of her sexual identity played a distortive role in her intersections with law and with post-conflict Germany. Koch’s trials revealed two different dynamics. Koch’s actions were refracted through a patriarchal lens which spectacularized female violence and served as an optical space to (re)establish appropriate feminine mores. Feminist critiques of Koch’s trials …

Owning Frida Kahlo, Lario Albarrán

Emory International Law Review

Mexican painter Frida Kahlo died a feminist, anti-capitalist, queer, disabled, gender fluid, revolutionary. Today, Kahlo continues to captivate the public through her art, her life, and—her Barbie. Released in 2018, Mattel’s Frida Kahlo Barbie faced its harshest criticisms from none other than Kahlo’s family. Turning to social media, the family showered Mattel with questions on its audacity to release a Barbie in Kahlo’s likeness. Enraged over the Barbie’s features, complexation, and design, Kahlo’s family rushed to a court in Mexico where a judge issued a temporary injunction preventing the Barbie’s sale in Mexico. The resulting media coverage pit Kahlo’s family …

A Tale Of Two Treaties: A Study Of Nafta And The Usmca's Investor-State Dispute Settlement Mechanisms, Jerry L. Lai

Emory International Law Review

Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) is a standard component of most multilateral free-trade and investment regimes as a way of encouraging cross-border investment. However, the concept has long been mired in controversy, primarily due to its alleged transgression against national sovereignty and domestic regulatory powers. As ideas such as free trade and globalization come under increasing scrutiny in the post-Great Recession era, these controversies have not only rendered ISDS itself politically vulnerable, but also came to jeopardize the success and survival of free-trade and investment regimes that commonly contain ISDS provisions. A salient example of the increasing political risks carried by …

Plugging The Leaks In Outer Space Criminal Jurisdiction: Advocation For The Creation Of A Universal Outer Space Criminal Statute, Reid White

Emory International Law Review

In 2019, U.S. Astronaut Anne McClain was investigated for possibly committing the first crime in outer space, leading to questions regarding criminal law in outer space. After reviewing international space treaties such as the Outer Space Treaty, Moon Agreement, and Intergovernmental Agreement for the International Space Station, it becomes clear there is no comprehensive framework for addressing outer space crimes. National legislation of space-faring countries also fails to address all wrongdoings. Even with a comprehensive outer space treaty that would assign criminal jurisdiction to certain states in event of wrongdoing, analogous terrestrial treaties and incidents show that this would still …

A Human Face To Instream Flow: Indigenous Rights To Water For Salmon And Fisheries, Paul Stanton Kibel

Emory International Law Review

In the United States and throughout the world, there are many indigenous peoples whose culture and identity are closely connected to salmon and fisheries. Such salmon and fisheries are often dependent on maintaining adequate instream flows of water in rivers. Indigenous groups in the United States and in other countries have increasingly relied on indigenous human rights laws as a basis to keep water instream to maintain salmon and fisheries. This includes reliance on sources of international law such as the International Convention on Civil and Political Rights, the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, the International …

International Legal, Policy And Institutional Issues Raised By The Covid-19 [Portugal], Patrícia Galvão Teles

American University International Law Review

INTRODUCTION

Three basic sets of questions arise when we attempt to look back to what is now almost one year of probably the greatest pandemic in human history, and also when we look to the future to see what can be improved to fight epidemics and pandemics of this scale and nature. The first set of questions, for us as lawyers, are the legal issues that we are dealing with in regards to the existing legal framework, and how it is interpreted and applied in the event of a pandemic. The second set of questions are policy issues. Discussing the …
