The Fight For Clean Technology Funds: Who Should Control The Future Of Low-Carbon Technology In The Developing World, William Gardner

Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies

As part of a multilateral climate change treaty, the parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) have discussed establishing an international aid mechanism, or fund, to support low-carbon energy generation and energy efficiency projects in developing countries. The selection of a fund administrator has been particularly contentious. Many developed countries believe that, rather than creating a new fund, the COP should use an already established one-the World Bank's Clean Technology Fund (CTF)-and select the World Bank as fund administrator.H owever, many developing countries believe the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the UNFCCC should create a …

The Alien Tort Statute And Flomo V. Firestone Natural Rubber Company: The Key To Change In Global Child Labor Practices?, Jessica Bergman

Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies

The case of Flomo v. Firestone Natural Rubber Company involves child laborers' claims that labor practices on a Liberian rubber plantation violate international norms. Though the case was recently resolved in favor of the defendants at the district court level, the case's complicated procedural and substantive history offers insight into the viability of future child labor claims. This Note examines the Flomo case and explores how standards from the ATS and the United States Supreme Court case Sosa v. Alvarez-Machain apply to future plaintiffs' claims. This Note also analyzes the potential repercussions that plaintiffs face in using the ATS as …


From Sovereignty To Responsibility: An Emerging International Norm And Its Call To Action In Burma, Alison McCormick 2011 Indiana University Maurer School of Law

From Sovereignty To Responsibility: An Emerging International Norm And Its Call To Action In Burma, Alison Mccormick

Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies

"[O]ur struggle for democracy is a struggle for our everyday life." This, in the words of long-detained pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi, describes the isolated pariah state of Burma. Under brutal military rule since 1962, Burma is still desperately trying to change its deplorable circumstances through the leadership of Suu Kyi, but continues to fail due to the regime-written "new" constitution that guarantees the regime's continued leading role in the state apparatus.2 Illegitimate elections and continued repression of the democratic opposition allow for the regime's violations of basic human rights to continue. Rights violations that include displacement, forced labor, …

Can The Enlarged European Union Continue To Be That United, Giorgio Maganza 2011 Council of the European Union

Can The Enlarged European Union Continue To Be That United, Giorgio Maganza

Fordham International Law Journal

Although a tribute to Jean-Claude Piris could easily stretch through the whole spectrum of European Union law-which broadened in part thanks to his active contribution over the twenty-year term when he served as Legal Adviser to the Council of the European Union, the European Council, and several intergovernmental conferences for the reform of the treaties-it is appropriate to devote the following lines to the theme of institutional strengthening, which always attracted his consideration and thinking and to which he contributed some illuminating and forward-looking writings; and it is tempting to do so in the light of a specific feature that …


The European Union And The Treaty Of Lisbon, Roger J. Goebel 2011 Fordham Law School

The European Union And The Treaty Of Lisbon, Roger J. Goebel

Fordham International Law Journal

With this cursory description of the European Council prior to the Treaty of Lisbon, this Essay turns to the major changes produced by that treaty. Space considerations require a limited focus.

Part II considers its designated power to take by qualified majority vote many important legally-binding decisions. Part III reviews two of its major roles: deciding when the Treaties should be amended and setting the procedure for amendment, and determining the timing and terms of accession of candidate nations. …

The Contradictory Overlapping Of National, Eu, Bilateral, And The Multilateral Rules On Foreign Direct Investment: Who Is Guilty Of Such A Mess, Ramon Torrent 2011 Fordham Law School

The Contradictory Overlapping Of National, Eu, Bilateral, And The Multilateral Rules On Foreign Direct Investment: Who Is Guilty Of Such A Mess, Ramon Torrent

Fordham International Law Journal

This intends to be a very empirical Essay. It lets the facts (legal facts, but facts nevertheless) speak for themselves. Part I of this Essay first examines the not granting of national treatment by European Union ("EU")-and EU Member States'-law to companies controlled by third-country nationals or other companies. Part II shows that bilateral investment treaties ("BITs") concluded by EU Member States do grant such national treatment horizontally and without any sectorial exception (contrary to US BITs that do include a list of exceptions, as shown in Part III). Part IV explains why BITs (not only EU Member States' BITs, …

Head-Of-State And Foreign Official Immunity In The United States After Samantar: A Suggested Approach, Christopher D. Totten 2011 Fordham Law School

Head-Of-State And Foreign Official Immunity In The United States After Samantar: A Suggested Approach, Christopher D. Totten

Fordham International Law Journal

A concept of immunity for foreign heads of state has existed since ancient times. Such immunity constitutes customary international law (“CIL”) and, when applicable, frees such individuals from the criminal jurisdiction of foreign nations while carrying out their duties. In the United States, executive branch guidance is considered determinative on the issue of foreign head-of-state immunity; however, the executive branch does not always provide suggestions of immunity, or it may provide suggestions that violate CIL. Drawing upon both US and against foreign sitting and former heads of state and government officials increasingly are becoming more established and ma provide additional …


Protecting Non-Us Citizens From Removal Terminating Hiv/Aids Treatment, Valerie K. Mitchell 2011 Fordham Law School

Protecting Non-Us Citizens From Removal Terminating Hiv/Aids Treatment, Valerie K. Mitchell
