“Environmental law is essential for the protection of natural resources and ecosystems and reflects our best hope for the future of our planet”. This declaration, made by participants at the Rio+20 World Congress on Justice, Governance and Law for Environmental Sustainability, reflects the maturing of environmental law around the world. Usually implicitly, but often explicitly, the deliberations at Rio+20 in June 2012 addressed the dual needs for more effective implementation of existing environmental norms and enacting further laws to stem global degradation of the environment. Rio+20 recommended that, in the autumn of 2012, the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) act …

This commentary summarizes the events at the recent UN Conference on Sustainable Development, commonly referred to as Rio+20, noting both the role of official national delegations and the diversity of non-state parties that were involved in a variety of venues at and around Rio+20. It sketches the background of sustainable development efforts, maps the road from the original 1992 Rio Earth Summit to the 20th anniversary gathering, and comments on the Conference’s outcomes and their implications for international law and legal institutions. In answer to the much debated question of whether the Rio+20 was a success or a failure, or …

The Rule Of Law In Outer Space: The Effects Of Treaties And Nonbinding Agreements On International Space Law, Brian Wessel
UC Law SF International Law Review
Since the 1980s, states have increasingly relied on nonbinding agreements over binding treaties to govern activities in outer space. Although this trend has produced considerable debate among both scholars and practitioners, it appears likely to continue in the near future. Recently, commentators have begun using the concept of the rule of law to criticize this reliance on nonbinding space agreements, but these commentators rarely discuss what is meant by "the rule of law." This Article examines several theories of rule of law and applies those theories in evaluating recent criticisms of current and proposed nonbinding space agreements. Through the lens …

UC Law SF International Law Review
Nearly a decade ago an American online video game called Everquest swept the world markets and generated enormous profits. Since then a genre of video games known as Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games has developed. Capitalizing on the genre's huge success, Blizzard Entertainment's World of Warcraft (WoW) has catapulted gaming to new heights earning over USD $1 billion annually. While the game is sold globally, Chinese players account for nearly half of WoWs player base. Keeping this enormous market has, however, been challenging and for nearly two years Blizzard lost its market access in China.
Using Chinese WoW as …

Where Does The Dirham Stop In A Sukuk Default, Irina Marinescu
UC Law SF International Law Review
Socioeconomic unrest across Shari'ah (Islamic law) - abiding jurisdictions comes at a time of expanding Islamic financial markets. This Note focuses on one prominent financial instrument fueling growth in the Islamic finance landscape: sukuk. This Note explores legal uncertainties around sukuk default mechanisms and their implications for creditors and the world at large. In so doing, this Note argues that holders of sukuk, which are participatory certificates evidencing Shari'ah-compliant interests, stand to lose their capital depending on whether they have true recourse to the underlying assets. Part II frames the discussion by briefly introducing the reader to Islamic finance and …

Open Oceans And Marine Debris: Solutions For The Ineffective Enforcement Of Marpol Annex V, Andrew Rakestraw
UC Law SF International Law Review
Located midway between Hawaii and California, the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a vast soup of plastic and other garbage from land- and ship-based sources. Plastics are the primary component of this mass and wreck havoc on marine animal populations and present a serious threat to human health.
Regulating this debris dumped from cargo ships at an international level presents numerous challenges. The immensity of the ocean and the lack of state jurisdiction beyond 200 miles off the coast make effective enforcement of plastics dumping regulations very challenging. The current regulatory system essentially leaves compliance with international standards up to …

Disputing Arbitration Clauses In International Insurance Agreements: Problems With The Self-Execution Framework, Michael J. Ritter
Pace International Law Review Online Companion
This Article argues that the self-execution framework that courts have adopted—and scholars have endorsed—in addressing whether McCarran-Ferguson enables states to reverse preempt the New York Convention is inadequate. First, the Article addresses the interpretive question: what is an “Act of Congress” under McCarran-Ferguson? By examining whether a treaty is self or non-self-executing, courts discard proper methods of statutory interpretation. Second, the Article argues that courts have failed to satisfactorily transpose the self-execution doctrine—which has been relevant only in determining whether a treaty confers a legally enforceable right in the U.S.—into the context of the conflict between McCarran-Ferguson and the New …

Preparations for the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympic Games are well underway in Brazil, with local government officials in Rio de Janeiro trumpeting the “major success” of initiatives intended to address notoriously high levels of violent crime.
In an attempt to head off widespread concerns, which preceded South Africa’s hosting of the 2010 World Cup, the apparent success of initiatives such as the Police Pacification Units (PPUs) cracking down on insecurity in Rio’s shantytowns (many, such as Rocinha, close to popular tourist areas and venues for Olympic events) has been loudly hailed by local politicians and duly reported by …
