Defensive Force Against Non-State Actors: The State Of Play, Monica Hakimi
International Law Studies
This article assesses the implications of the current Syria situation for the international law on the use of defensive force against non-State actors. The law in this area is highly unsettled, with multiple legal positions in play. After mapping the legal terrain, the article shows that the Syria situation accentuates three preexisting trends. First, the claim that international law absolutely prohibits the use of defensive force against non-State actors is increasingly difficult to sustain. States, on the whole, have supported the operation against the so-called Islamic State in Syria. Second, States still have not coalesced around a legal standard on …

Oh, What A Tangled Web We Weave: The Implications Of Conflicting Domestic Policy On Arbitrability And Award Enforcement, Jennifer Vincent
UC Law SF International Law Review
Perhaps the most attractive reason to submit a dispute to arbitration is the privacy of the process, and, though courts have some authority in enforcement or setting aside of awards, courts in one country may decide to enforce an award that has been set aside in another. For this reason, many countries have traditionally shielded from arbitration certain spheres in which strong public interest would discourage the unpredictability of an arbitration and have reserved these issues for courts and other more qualified state authorities. This leads to inconsistency and confusion when dealing with a dispute between two parties in international …

A Comparative Analysis Of Spain's Startup Co-Investment Fund And The United States Government Funded Venture Capital, Kelly Gunderson
UC Law SF International Law Review
Innovation through new venture start-ups has been shown to have a direct effect on the growth of a country's overall economy. This paper will analyze Spain's new government funded venture capital program, the Startup Co- Investment Fund ("SCIF"), in order to determine its likelihood of success in Spain and whether other countries should also look to a similar program in order to build their VC market. To effectively examine the new program it will be helpful to carefully explore the U.S.'s venture capital market and history, as the U.S. ranked number one for VC in 2013, while Spain remained at …

Faculty Books and Book Contributions
Ocean and coastal law has grown rapidly in the past three decades as a specialty area within natural resources law and environmental law. The protection of oceans has received increased attention in the past decade because of sea-level rise, ocean acidification, the global overfishing crisis, widespread depletion of marine biodiversity such as marine mammals and coral reefs, and marine pollution. Paralleling the growth of ocean and coastal law, climate change regulation has emerged as a focus of international environmental diplomacy, and has gained increased attention in the wake of disturbing and abrupt climate change related impacts throughout the world that …

Nations around the world are beginning to acknowledge that climate change is an imminent threat to our planet and are responding with mitigation efforts. REDD+ (reducing emissions from deforestation and degradation plus) may be a way to minimize the deforestation that has lead to the increased greenhouse gas emissions causing a change in our global climate. Although REDD+ is one the leading proposals to address climate change, it lends itself to potentially harmful effects on indigenous people, if the regulating nation does not possess adequate policy for protections of their indigenous peoples. Indigenous peoples face the challenge of safeguarding access …
