Emerging Issues: Overthrowing The Government: What Boko Haram Means For Women, Kimberly R. Frazier 2014 University of Baltimore School of Law

Emerging Issues: Overthrowing The Government: What Boko Haram Means For Women, Kimberly R. Frazier

University of Baltimore Journal of International Law

Boko Haram has been active since 2002, however, most of the world became familiar with the Islamic terrorist group in April of 2014 after they kidnapped approximately 276 girls from a boarding school in northeastern Nigeria.1 The group’s leader, Abubakar Shekau, announced in a video that the kidnapping was an act of retaliation after Nigerian security forces kidnapped the wives and children of Boko Haram leaders.2 He also stated that the girls would be forced to convert to Islam and sold into the slave market to begin their new lives as “servants.”3 The kidnapping was not the first act of …

Student Comment: “Love Is Patient, Love Is Kind”: A Comparative Study Helping The United States Reach Marriage Equality, Nicole Rush 2014 University of Baltimore School of Law

Student Comment: “Love Is Patient, Love Is Kind”: A Comparative Study Helping The United States Reach Marriage Equality, Nicole Rush

University of Baltimore Journal of International Law

This paper evaluates same-sex marriage policies in three industrialized countries: the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Canada. In assessing the legislative and judicial history of same-sex marriage policies in each country, as well as other influential factors leading to these policies, this research helps to create a roadmap to reach a nationwide policy for the United States. By comparing the current history of the United States’ same-sex marriage policies to that of the aforementioned countries, it is possible to develop a plan to achieve marriage equality in the U.S.


Legal Issues Concerning The Eu Unilateral Aviation Ets: A Chinese Perspective, Wenqiong Liang, Liying Zhang 2014 China University of Political Science and Law

Legal Issues Concerning The Eu Unilateral Aviation Ets: A Chinese Perspective, Wenqiong Liang, Liying Zhang

South Carolina Journal of International Law and Business

Since January 2012, carbon emissions from international aviation have been formally included in the European Union Emission Trading Scheme (EU ETS). Airlines from outside the EU have struggled to find an escape from this arguably unfair decision. China, the United States, Russia, India, and representatives from nineteen other countries signed the Moscow Joint Declaration in February of 2012 to demonstrate opposition to the EU’s unilaterally enacted aviation carbon tax. Originally, the EU had no intention of canceling or suspending its plan to tax the aviation industry’s carbon emissions; however, after international pressure from a number of opposing countries and airlines, …

Bitcoin: The Economic Case For A Global, Virtual Currency Operating In An Unexplored Legal Framework, Jonathan B. Turpin 2014 Indiana University Maurer School of Law

Bitcoin: The Economic Case For A Global, Virtual Currency Operating In An Unexplored Legal Framework, Jonathan B. Turpin

Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies

Bitcoin is a virtual currency created by programmers, which is produced at a predetermined and knowable rate to simulate a limited resource. Its value is derived from the trust of its users and is protected by its limited nature and the cryptography by which the currency is secured and authenticated. Bitcoin has been, and continues to be, used by some for the purchase of illegal substances and in furtherance of crimes. Because Bitcoin is not issued by a central bank or government, its use entails risks, both legal and otherwise, that have not previously been explored. Nonetheless, Bitcoin possesses significant …


Pashtunistan's Future: The Global Executive Or A Regional Solution, Joshua A. Kurtzman 2014 Indiana University Maurer School of Law

Pashtunistan's Future: The Global Executive Or A Regional Solution, Joshua A. Kurtzman

Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies

This note explores the transnational security issues associated with the Pashtunistan region following the withdrawal of NATO from Afghanistan in 2014. More specifically, at a time when this region is at a religious, governance, and globalization crossroads, this note posits that only two alternatives exist for addressing the security situation in this region. First, a global executive, or executives, could use their power to exert transnational security pressure through drone strikes or other pseudo-military alternatives. A second alternative, and one which this note considers much more promising, is the development of a "NATO like" organization of Muslim nations to assist …


Hong Kong's Failure To Extradite Edward Snowden: More Than Just A Technical Defect, Mark D. Kielsgard, Ken Gee-Kin Ip 2014 University of Richmond

Hong Kong's Failure To Extradite Edward Snowden: More Than Just A Technical Defect, Mark D. Kielsgard, Ken Gee-Kin Ip

Richmond Journal of Global Law & Business

As the Edward Snowden case takes legs and exhibits all the earmarks of official misconduct and scandal, the U.S. government continues efforts aimed at extraditing this "whistleblower," characterizing him as a traitor and doing damage control in the NSA. Part of this strategy includes intimidating those sovereign states that refuse to coooperate in returning Snowden to face trial.Yet, the legal basis for these U.S. efforts is highly contentious. If Snowden had stayed in Hong Kong and fought extradition, in all likelihood he would have prevailed. Thus, the U.S. is left with not credible basis for complaint, and its retaliatory diplomatic …
