The Limits Of International Law: Efforts To Enforce Rulings Of The International Court Of Justice In U.S. Death Penalty Cases, Sandra L. Babcock 2012 Cornell Law School

The Limits Of International Law: Efforts To Enforce Rulings Of The International Court Of Justice In U.S. Death Penalty Cases, Sandra L. Babcock

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

Since the Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty in 1976, the United States has executed twenty-eight foreign nationals from fifteen different countries. Most of those foreign nationals were never informed of their rights to consular notification and access under Article 36 of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, a treaty the United States ratified in 1969. Violations of Article 36 in capital cases have caused consternation in foreign capitals and endless litigation in domestic courts and international tribunals. Mexico, which has the largest number of foreign nationals on death row, established the Mexican Capital Legal Assistance Program in 2000 to …


Rebalancing Trips, Molly Land 2012 University of Connecticut School of Law

Rebalancing Trips, Molly Land

Faculty Articles and Papers

Application of the World Trade Organization’s dispute resolution procedures to the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property (TRIPS) has provoked a variety of reactions over time. Initially perceived as a significant loss for developing countries, more recent responses maintain that these fears were unfounded. This Article argues that the availability of adjudication through the WTO has indeed had significant consequences for the policy space of developing countries — just not in the manner initially imagined. One of the most important yet underappreciated consequences of the decision to link trade and intellectual property has been the conflation of trade and …

Curtailing Ecosystem Exportation: Ecosystem Services As A Basis To Reconsider The Merits Of Export-Driven Agriculture In Economies Highly Dependent On Agricultural Exports, James T. Gathii, Keith H. Hirokawa 2012 Loyola University Chicago, School of Law

Curtailing Ecosystem Exportation: Ecosystem Services As A Basis To Reconsider The Merits Of Export-Driven Agriculture In Economies Highly Dependent On Agricultural Exports, James T. Gathii, Keith H. Hirokawa

Faculty Publications & Other Works

ABSTRACT Functioning ecosystems play a critical role in providing goods and services needed to sustain human life.' Water provision and filtration, biodiversity, nutrient cycling, climate regulation, and carbon sequestration are all examples of services ecosystems provide that no society could survive without.2 Yet ecosystem services have historically been taken for granted, depleted by intention or ignorance, and replaced with inadequate substitutes.' Recent research on ecosystem services has exposed the shockingly high local, regional, and global costs of losing these essential services.'


Private Equity Investment In The Brics, Andreas Woeller 2012 Fordham Law School

Private Equity Investment In The Brics, Andreas Woeller

Fordham Journal of Corporate & Financial Law

This Article investigates the legal and economic environment for private equity investments in Brazil, Russia, India and China (“BRIC”). In contrast with disappointing returns in the 1990s, private equity investment has soared in developing countries over the past decade. To explain what has led to the recent success of private equity in the BRICs, this Article will first give an overview of the challenges faced generally when investing in portfolio companies in developing markets and then analyze the legal and economic framework for each of the four BRICs. This Article finds that Brazil and China offer the best opportunities for …


Defending America Against Chinese Cyber Espionage Through The Use Of Active Defenses, Alexander Melnitzky 2012 Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law

Defending America Against Chinese Cyber Espionage Through The Use Of Active Defenses, Alexander Melnitzky

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The note argues that cyber espionage, particularly by China, poses a significant threat to U.S. national security and should be treated as a national security issue rather than solely a criminal matter. It advocates for the use of active defenses as a legal and justified response, asserting that such measures align with international law and the principles of jus ad bellum and jus in bello.

The Global Food System, Environmental Protection, And Human Rights, Carmen G. Gonzalez 2012 Seattle University School of Law

The Global Food System, Environmental Protection, And Human Rights, Carmen G. Gonzalez

Faculty Articles

The global food system is exceeding ecological limits while failing to meet the nutritional needs of a large segment of the world’s population. While law could play an important role in facilitating the transition to a more just and ecologically sustainable food system, the current legal framework fails to regulate food and agriculture in an integrated manner. The international legal framework governing food and agriculture is fragmented into three self-contained regimes that have historically operated in isolation from one another: international human rights law, international environmental law, and international trade law. International trade law has taken precedence over human rights …


Microinvestment Disputes, Perry Bechky 2012 Seattle University School of Law

Microinvestment Disputes, Perry Bechky

Faculty Articles

Salini v. Morocco sparked one of the liveliest controversies in the dynamic field of international investment disputes. Salini held that the word “investment” in the Convention establishing the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), although undefined, has an objective meaning that limits the ability of member states to submit disputes to ICSID arbitration. The Salini debate is central to this field because it shapes the nature, purpose, and volume of ICSID arbitration—and also determines who gets to decide those matters. In particular, Salini’s decision to include “a contribution to development” as an element of its objective definition of …
