Bodies Are Not Battlegrounds: Sexual And Gender-Based Violence As A War Tactic: A Ukrainian Case Study, Marina Coriale
Cardozo International & Comparative Law Review
The note examines the use of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) as a weapon of war, with a focus on conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) in Ukraine. It highlights the legal frameworks and precedents established by international courts and tribunals, such as the Rome Statute, the ICTY, and ICTR, to prosecute CRSV as war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide. The analysis underscores the challenges faced by survivors in seeking justice and the importance of addressing root causes like gender inequality. It advocates for strengthened legal mechanisms, accountability, and reparations to promote healing and deter future atrocities.

The Procedural Architecture Of Climate Justice: Comparative Lessons From Regional Human Rights Courts, Indira Boutier
National Law School Journal
Climate change, once narrated through scientific data and economic costs, is now unavoidably framed as a question of rights and justice. This article examines how litigation before the African, European, and Inter-American human rights courts makes the procedural dimensions of climate justice visible. Procedural justice here is understood capaciously and includes not only rules of access, standing, and evidence, but also the recognition of corporations as duty bearers in transnational accountability regimes. A comparison of the three regions shows how colonial legacies, institutional architectures, and political economies shape the channels through which communities can contest climate harm. Litigation emerges less …

Transforming The World With Reparations?,

Vanderbilt Law School
Transforming The World With Reparations?, Ingrid Brunk, Monica Hakimi
Faculty Scholarship
Claims for reparations in international law commonly reflect two competing visions--one transformative, the other corrective. The transformative vision looks to reparations to end the long tail of injustices that are associated with large-scale historic harms. The corrective vision is more confined; it focuses on repairing specific, legally cognizable harms and returning the agents or entities involved as closely as possible to the status quo ante. We argue in this Essay that these two visions have distinct conceptual logics, even though they often overlap in practice, and that the transformative vision cannot carry the burdens that are placed on it.

Burying The Burden: A Sovereign’S Duty Of Investigation Post-Republic Of Turkey V. Christie’S Inc., Caitlin H. French
Cardozo Law Review
This Note explores the intersection of cultural heritage law and U.S. property law through the lens of Republic of Turkey v. Christie’s Inc., a significant case involving the contested ownership of the ancient Anatolian “Stargazer” figurine. The Note explores how longstanding doctrines of property and the equitable defense of laches interact with international legal frameworks and patrimony laws aimed at preserving cultural heritage material. The case underscores tensions between cultural nationalism and internationalism, sovereign ownership claims under foreign patrimony laws, and the protections afforded to good-faith purchasers under U.S. law. The Note identifies two key legal issues at play: (1) …

Defending U.S. Citizenship-Based Taxation In Theory And In Practice: An Essay On Fiscal Citizenship In A Fatca World, Edward A. Zelinsky
Cardozo Law Review
For some Americans, a surprising aspect of the saga of Meghan Markle, also known as the Duchess of Sussex, was learning that, as a U.S. citizen living in the United Kingdom, the Duchess was obligated to pay U.S. income taxes on her worldwide income.[1] President Donald Trump has echoed concerns raised in this controversy about the United States’ worldwide income taxation of its citizens living abroad. In particular, during his 2024 presidential campaign, President Trump called for “ending the double taxation of overseas Americans.”[2] I found myself drawn into this debate about the United States’ citizenship-based taxation by virtue of …
Friction Points Between The Eu Data Act And Wto Law,

Friction Points Between The Eu Data Act And Wto Law, Pedro R. Borges De Carvalho
Indian Journal of International Economic Law
It has been noted that many of the provisions of the EU Data Act are protectionist in character, seemingly designed to guard data as a national resource to be explored by EU actors first and foremost, and not to be exported, to the detriment of third-country companies. To international trade treaty partners, most notably the United States, it may seem as though the EU’s policy of digital sovereignty, in its current contours, risks violating WTO Law, which is premised on ideals of global free trade and comparative advantage. This essay analyses the most problematic provision of the Data Act in …

On 19 July 2024, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) rendered a historic ruling which declared that Israel’s presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT) is unlawful. While this historic Advisory Opinion on the Legal Consequences Arising from Israel’s Policies and Practices in the OPT, including East Jerusalem (Advisory Opinion) should be celebrated, much more needs to be done in order to fully realize the decisions contained therein. This article presents an overview of the Republic of Indonesia’s legal arguments submitted to the ICJ concerning the request for an Advisory Opinion. Indonesia, a staunch supporter of the Palestinian cause, contends …

Indonesian Journal of International Law
The Grundnorm is Hans Kelsen’s teaching that was integrated into his theory known as the Pure Theory of Law. The Grundnorm is the highest source of legal imperative, which is accepted by every individual human being, based on his free will to submit orders that are no longer debated because they are accepted as truth. The Grundnorm being the source of the validity of legal imperatives, it means that is the highest source of the validity of regulatory law within the scope of national and international law. This is the background of the justification of the Monism school, which is …

Compatibility Between The Indonesian Competition Law And Indonesia’S Climate Change Mitigation Policy Under The Unfccc Paris Agreement 2016: Quo Vadis?, Satya Arinanto, Dian Parluhutan, Louise Shania Sabela
Indonesian Journal of International Law
To overcome the global climate change crisis, the Government of Indonesia (GoI) ratified the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Paris Agreement on Climate Change on 22 April 2016, imposing quasi-legal obligations on contracting states to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions based on Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) until 2030. As a contracting party of the Paris Agreement, Indonesia has submitted an Enhanced Nationally Determined Contribution (ENDC), increasing its GHG emission reduction target from 31.98 percent to 43.20 percent by 2030. Pillar II of the Golden Indonesia Vision 2045, Indonesia has also reaffirmed its commitment to climate change mitigation …

Public Policy And The Refusal To Enforce Foreign Arbitral Awards: A Comparative Analysis Of France, Singapore, And Vietnam, Phan Hoai Nam
Indonesian Journal of International Law
The multilateral frameworks governing the recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards, such as the 1958 New York Convention, along with the domestic laws of most states, are generally designed to promote the efficient enforcement of foreign arbitral awards. However, practical experience reveals inconsistencies in its application. While many states adhere to international principles, some - despite being signatories to the Convention - have exploited the broad concept of public policy to unjustifiably refuse enforcement within their jurisdictions. Conversely, other states have adopted a more restrictive approach, limiting the public policy exception to ensure predictability in enforcement. This article focuses on …

Challenges In The Enforcement Of International Legal Framework Against Child Soldiering, Shedrack Ekpa, Daniel Friday Atidoga
Indonesian Journal of International Law
The war crime of child soldiering has contagiously blossomed, necessitating the application of several prohibitive legal standards for its extermination. As the impact of this heinous and atrocious crime soars, the multi-dimensional scope for the protection against child soldiering becomes more sternly entrenched. This article aims to interrogate this global and worrying phenomenon in the light of existing international legal framework. Alhough doctrinal in nature, this article relies on both primary and secondary sources of data. It was found that despite the high retinue of prohibitive norms as stipulated in various legal instruments, the war crime of child soldiering has …

A Tragedy Of Incommensurability: Indigenous Rights And The Limits Of Human Rights Law,

American University in Cairo
A Tragedy Of Incommensurability: Indigenous Rights And The Limits Of Human Rights Law, Zeina Ali
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis explores the tragedy of incommensurability between indigenous rights and international human rights law. Despite the emergence of frameworks like the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), indigenous calls for sovereignty remain fundamentally unintelligible within a liberal order structured to preserve settler-state legitimacy. Tracing the historical and theoretical evolution of indigenous advocacy, this study critiques the strategic shift from demands for self-determination to claims of cultural rights. It argues that this shift offers no real alternative: self-determination and cultural rights are functionally equivalent, as both are ultimately filtered through legal and political frameworks that cannot …

The Instrumentalization Of The Unprivileged Combatants By Western Countries Aimed To Oppress National Liberation Wars, Fares Mahmoud Def-Allah Abdelhamid
Theses and Dissertations
The goal of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) is purported to be the humanization of wars. Nonetheless, the atrocities committed in wars and the war criminals’ impunity suggest the failure of IHL. Notwithstanding, some voices call for reforming and developing IHL. In contrast, this thesis argues that IHL should be rejected entirely since the distinction between privileged and unprivileged combatants indicates that IHL is biased against anti-colonizers. It is biased in three senses. Firstly, IHL, particularly the distinction between privileged and unprivileged combatants, is dominated by Western rationality, which can be noticed in the domination of the civilization concept with its …

Engaging in regional trade agreements (RTAs) can enhance market access and keep regulatory cooperation, the number of RTAs has grown explosively in Asian countries. Most of these RTAs may include more far-reaching form of dispute settlement provisions distinct from or parallel to the World Trade Organization (WTO). Historical analysis is employed to examine the applicable principles of Asian Values and their influences on economic growth and dispute settlement. Additionally, the article also conducts case study analysis of several trade disputes with …
