The Three-Pronged Strategy Of India's Preferential Trade Policy, Julien Chaisse, Debashis Chakraborty, Biswajit Nag
Connecticut Journal of International Law
Before the inception of the WTO, India generally did not pursue any regional economic agreement route to promote trade or to achieve any other goal. In the Post-Cancun Ministerial period, however, it has progressively entered into a number of preferential trade arrangements with several Asian, as well as nonAsian partners. Looking into India's regional economic integration approach, the current analysis makes an attempt to identify the major determinants behind the shift in the country's interests, and the policy implications of this change. We conclude that India's approach towards preferential trade can be depicted as a three-pronged PTA strategy: it can …

The Nature And Development Of Law In Islam And The Rule Of Law Challenge In The Middle East And The Muslim World, Hossein Esmaeili
Connecticut Journal of International Law
While Islamic law is a traditional and religious legal system, it is one of the three major legal systems of the world, after common law and civil law systems. The legal system of Islam differs from other modern legal systems, and has its own history of development and a unique nature. The concept and nature of law in Islam is related to another modern concept: the doctrine of the rule of law. While the rule of law doctrine has become an important agenda of international law and international relations, an effective system incorporating the rule of law is presently unavailable …

The Global Dimension Of The Current Economic Crisis And The Benefits Of Alternative Dispute Resolution,

The Global Dimension Of The Current Economic Crisis And The Benefits Of Alternative Dispute Resolution, Rebecca Golbert
Nevada Law Journal
The Conference on the Economic Crisis and Conflict Resolution, sponsored by the Saltman Center for Conflict Resolution at the University of Nevada Las Vegas, William S. Boyd School of Law, concerned the application of mediation and other forms of cost-effective dispute resolution to specific dimensions of the domestic economic crisis—namely foreclosure and bankruptcy. Among other relevant themes, the conference also examined cost-effective dispute resolution in community mediation, online technology, and dispute-wise organizations. An economic downturn, however, does not respect borders. The current economic crisis is no exception. Thus, I turn our attention to the global dimension of the current economic …

Legal And Operational Advice In The Israeli Defense Forces: The International Law Department And The Changing Nature Of International Humanitarian Law, Amichai Cohen
Connecticut Journal of International Law
The International Law Department (ILD) of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) is a small unit of lawyers, entrusted with implementing the Laws of Armed Conflict within the IDF, through "legal operational advice. " This article analyzes the history and character of this unit, in view of recent operations of the IDF, and accusations of war crimes waged against IDF officers. The article suggests that the work of the ILD should be seen as part of the internalization of the Laws of Armed Conflict within Israeli society. The Laws of Armed Conflict have significantly developed in recent years. However, these developments …

Let Digital Technology Lay The Moral Right Of Integrity To Rest, Albert Fang
Connecticut Journal of International Law
Many countries protect the moral rights of artists out of a romantic notion that these rights arise out of a deep and inherent tie between artists and their work.' Chief among these rights is the right of integrity, through which artists may prevent changes and mutilation of their art, even if those works and their copyrights have been sold.' The United States has been reluctant to jump on the international moral rights bandwagon, which has earned the United States much criticism from scholars and commentators.' But the right of integrity is an outdated concept for several reasons, and when considered …

Pandora’S Box Of Humanitarian Intervention, Edzia Carvalho
Human Rights & Human Welfare
“The Case for Intervention in the Ivory Coast” reminded me of the discussion that my undergraduate students had during the previous academic term on the conundrums surrounding humanitarian intervention. They innately responded to the intense suffering of individuals and groups facing gross human rights violations and initially argued that inaction in the face of suffering cannot be justified on any grounds. However, with their international relations hats on, many of them soon realized that putting an end to such a state of affairs is not as easy or straightforward as they had hoped.

Is reflection on global injustice part of the everyday lives of those who live in global privilege? Or does privilege let us wait to raise concerns about justice only when the media bring the graphic images of genocide and tragedy to our family rooms?

International Child Abduction And Children's Rights: Two Means To The Same End, Eran Sthoeger
Michigan Journal of International Law
The Hague Convention aims to deter future abductors and demonstrate mutual respect for the laws of its member states, while presumably serving the best interests of the child. It operates as a jurisdictional mechanism by reinstating the status quo prior to the removal through the prompt return of the child to his or her place of habitual residence. This return, as clearly stated in the Hague Convention itself, bears no effect on the merits of any existing or future custody dispute between the parents. The Hague Convention demands that contracting states respect past or future decisions pertaining to custody decided …

¿Viva La Data Protection? Chile As A Touchstone For The Future Of Information Privacy, Nicola Carah Menaldo
University of Miami International and Comparative Law Review
This article attempts to uncover a puzzle: although the traditional levers for strong privacy protection are present in Chile - a history of dictatorship, an information technology revolution, and strong trade with the European Union - its data protection laws are in fact very weak. What explains this apparent disconnect? This article challenges the conventional wisdom that Chile's weak data protection regime is the result of weak democratic institutions, collective action problems, or the prioritization of credit data protections. Instead, it argues that Chile's stunted regime results from a political culture in which privacy protections, generally, are traded off for …

While the world's attention was focused on the fireworks display of the 2008 Olympic Games in China, the citizens of South Ossetia were watching the sky too. Only their sky was being lit up by warfare. At 7:30 p.m. on August 7, 2008, Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili, held a televised speech promising the Ossetians a ceasefire and unlimited autonomy.' At 11:00 p.m., Saakashvili ordered the Georgian Army to launch an offensive on Tskhinvalli, the capital of South Ossetia. Over the next five days, the civilians of South Ossetia and Abkhazia would be directly targeted by the Georgian forces and forcibly …
