This Article critiques the changing U.S. approach toward the International Criminal Court (ICC). It begins by isolating those aspects central to prior U.S. opposition to the ICC. It then assesses the relevance of these concerns in light of the Court’s work to date. This Article also considers the outcome of the 2010 ICC Review Conference. It analyzes the amendments made to the Court’s Statute regarding the controversial crime of aggression and explains why these new provisions are not likely to create significant concerns for the United States. As its final area of inquiry, this Article examines the early work of the ICC in order to determine whether the institution is in fact fulfilling its mission to act as a “court of last resort.” Determining that the ICC’s present approach to case admissibility neither provides evidence that the Court is on a path that assures its anti-impunity goal nor comports with the U.S. preference to see justice performed at the national level, this Article concludes by noting the changes that will have to be made before U.S. accession can become a possibility
本文批评了美国对国际刑事法院(ICC)态度的变化。它首先孤立了美国之前反对国际刑事法院的那些核心方面。然后,它根据法院迄今的工作评估这些关切的相关性。本文还考虑了2010年国际商会审议会议的结果。它分析了对国际法院规约就有争议的侵略罪所作的修正,并解释了为什么这些新的规定不太可能引起美国的重大关切。作为最后的调查领域,本文考察了国际刑事法院的早期工作,以确定该机构是否实际上履行了其作为“最后诉诸法院”的使命。鉴于国际刑事法院目前对案件可受理性的处理方式既没有提供证据证明国际刑事法院正在确保其反有罪不罚目标的道路上,也不符合美国希望看到在国家层面执行司法的意愿,本文最后指出,在美国加入国际刑事法院成为可能之前,必须做出改变

Toward An International Law of Piracy Sui Generis: How the Dual Nature of Maritime Piracy Law Enables Piracy to Flourish 走向国际海盗法:海盗法的双重性质如何使海盗行为蓬勃发展

This article explores the divergence between international and national legal responses to maritime piracy, and it addresses the benefits of a unified international legal framework. Current domestic, regional and international legal frameworks fail to adequately combat the nature and scale of maritime piracy, which increasingly impacts the shipping, global manufacturing and tourism industries and which governments now consider to be a serious problem. As of yet, no unified legal approach exists to address the problem of modern piracy. The crux of the argument advanced in this article is that an inadvertent – yet dangerous – bifurcation of legal developments has unfolded within the field of maritime piracy, consequently creating a body of law that lacks harmony.
本文探讨了国际和国家对海盗行为的法律反应之间的差异,并讨论了统一的国际法律框架的好处。目前的国内、地区和国际法律框架未能充分打击海盗行为的性质和规模,海盗行为对航运业、全球制造业和旅游业的影响越来越大,各国政府现在认为这是一个严重的问题。到目前为止,还没有统一的法律方法来解决现代盗版问题。本文提出的论点的关键在于,在海盗问题上,法律发展出现了一个无意的——但却很危险的——分歧,从而形成了一个缺乏和谐的法律体系。

The Right to Truth in the Fight Against Impunity 在打击有罪不罚的斗争中了解真相的权利
Pub Date : 2010-09-17 DOI: 10.15779/Z38B35P
Dermot Groome
The concept of a “right to the truth” gives the families of victims of serious human rights violations an independent enforceable right to learn the truth about what happened to their relatives. The right is rooted in those provisions of international human rights conventions that prohibit inhuman treatment and guarantee effective access to justice. This article traces the evolution of this concept, considers whether it has a correlation in international criminal law and considers some of the synergies that are created as the concept of the right to know continues to evolve as a principle of international law.
“了解真相的权利”的概念赋予严重侵犯人权行为受害者的家属一项独立的、可强制执行的权利,以了解其亲属遭遇的真相。这项权利植根于禁止不人道待遇和保证有效诉诸司法的各项国际人权公约的规定。本文追溯了这一概念的演变,考虑了它在国际刑法中是否具有相关性,并考虑了随着知情权概念作为一项国际法原则继续发展而产生的一些协同效应。

The Origins of Due Process in India: The Role of Borrowing in Personal Liberty and Preventive Detention Cases 印度正当程序的起源:在人身自由和预防性拘留案件中借用的作用
Pub Date : 2010-05-01 DOI: 10.15779/Z38X36Z
M. Mate
This paper explores the origins of the anomalous development of substantive due process in the Indian Supreme Court in the area of personal liberty and preventive detention cases, given that the framers of the Indian Constitution deliberately chose to omit a due process clause to preclude substantive due process jurisrpudence. It proceeds to examine the important role of judicial "borrowing" in this process, in which justices relied on foreign precedent and legal scholarship, as well as international legal norms, to help overcome constitutional constraints. The paper analyzes personal liberty and preventive detention cases in order to gain a better understanding of the processes by which judges employ borrowing to advance "universalist" (versus particularist) legal norms, and then seeks to generalize from the Indian case by proposing a theoretical approach for understanding how judicial borrowing can be understood as a dynamic process that changes over time in new developing constitutional systems.
本文探讨了印度最高法院在人身自由和预防性拘留案件领域实质性正当程序异常发展的起源,因为印度宪法的制定者故意选择省略正当程序条款以排除实质性正当程序判例。接着研究司法“借用”在这一过程中的重要作用,在这一过程中,法官依靠外国先例和法律学术以及国际法律规范来帮助克服宪法限制。本文分析了人身自由和预防性拘留案例,以便更好地理解法官利用借用来推进“普遍主义”(相对于特殊主义)法律规范的过程,然后通过提出一种理论方法来理解如何将司法借用理解为在新发展的宪法体系中随时间变化的动态过程,从而试图从印度的案例中进行概括。

The Five Levels of CSR Compliance: The Resiliency of Corporate Liability under the Alien Tort Statute and the Case for a Counterattack Strategy in Compliance Theory 企业社会责任合规的五个层面:外国侵权法下的企业责任弹性及合规理论中的反击策略案例
Pub Date : 2010-04-29 DOI: 10.15779/Z38T65N

Multinational corporations confront a brave new world of compliance that extends far beyond a company's commercial goals and onto terrain that can deeply impact its survival and prosperity. The rules of the game have changed over the last two decades as the primary elements of corporate social responsibility (CSR) human rights, environment, labor, and anti-corruption priorities advanced in the halls of government, in the rule-making of international institutions, in courtrooms, and in a growing number of board rooms. We argue in this article that the stakes are simply too high for any corporate manager or director to deny or seek to evade CSR and this new regime of compliance. The business case for CSR will become increasingly dependent upon a sophisticated, multi-layered regime of compliance. The ultimate goal should be to make social and human rights issues an integral part of a
跨国公司面临着一个勇敢的合规新世界,它远远超出了公司的商业目标,并进入了可以深刻影响其生存和繁荣的领域。过去二十年来,随着企业社会责任(CSR)的基本要素人权、环境、劳工和反腐败优先事项在政府大厅、国际机构的规则制定、法庭和越来越多的董事会会议室中得到推进,游戏规则发生了变化。我们在本文中认为,对于任何公司经理或董事来说,拒绝或试图逃避企业社会责任和这种新的合规制度,风险都太高了。企业社会责任的商业案例将越来越依赖于一个复杂的、多层次的合规制度。最终的目标应该是使社会和人权问题成为联合国的一个组成部分

Square Peg in a Round Hole: Government Contractor Battlefield Tort Liability and the Political Question Doctrine 方枘圆凿:政府承包商战场侵权责任与政治问题主义
Pub Date : 2009-03-01 DOI: 10.2139/SSRN.1351584
C. Jenks
Recent assertions of the political question doctrine by battlefield contractor defendants in tort litigation have brought new life to the doctrine while raising new questions. The lawsuits stem from incidents in both Iraq and Afghanistan and include plaintiffs ranging from local nationals suing contract interrogators and interpreters, to contract employees suing another contractor following insurgent attacks, to U.S. service members suing contractors after vehicle and airplane crashes. The lawsuits involve tort claims, which on their face do not conjure up images of a constitutional power struggle, but in at least fifteen cases thus far contractor defendants have asserted the political question doctrine as a defense. The political question doctrine addresses whether the judiciary should review government action or decisions and yet contractors are asserting the doctrine in cases where the government is not a named party and has remained conspicuously silent. This article analyzes the confused application of the political question doctrine to battlefield related contractor tort litigation and proposes a methodology to bring clarity to future decisions. Absent a more rigid analytical approach by the judiciary and a change in the government's attitude, the confusion surrounding the political question doctrine and the inconsistency of its application to the inevitable future contractor cases will only grow.
最近战场承包商被告在侵权诉讼中对政治问题原则的主张,在提出新问题的同时,也给政治问题原则带来了新的生命。这些诉讼源于伊拉克和阿富汗的事件,原告包括当地国民起诉合同审讯员和口译员,合同雇员在叛乱分子袭击后起诉另一承包商,以及美国军人在车辆和飞机坠毁后起诉承包商。这些诉讼涉及侵权索赔,从表面上看,这并没有让人联想到宪法权力斗争的形象,但到目前为止,至少有15起案件中,承包商被告主张政治问题原则作为辩护。政治问题原则解决的是司法机构是否应该审查政府的行为或决定,然而承包商在政府没有被点名的情况下坚持这一原则,并且明显保持沉默。本文分析了政治问题原则在与战场相关的承包商侵权诉讼中的混乱应用,并提出了一种使未来判决更加清晰的方法。如果司法部门不采取更严格的分析方法,政府的态度也不改变,围绕政治问题原则的混乱,以及它在未来不可避免的承包商案件中应用的不一致,只会越来越多。

Regional Minorities, Immigrants, and Migrants: The Reframing of Minority Language Rights in Europe 地区少数民族、移民与移民:欧洲少数民族语言权利的重构
Pub Date : 2009-01-23 DOI: 10.15779/Z38S93M
Stella Burch Elias
Scholarly debate about minority language rights in Europe is usually framed in terms of concern with either regional language minorities (such as Basque speakers in Spain) or concern with immigrant language minorities (such as Turkish speakers in Germany), with the interests of the two groups being seen as distinct, or even opposed. As a consequence, scholarship in this area has thus far focused upon the fact that a two-tier system of rights exists, with both nation state governments and trans-European institutions privileging regional groupings, rather than immigrant groups, with little exploration of the relationship between the rights of the two different groupings. This Essay argues, in contrast, that in recent years, national governments and pan-European organizations have fundamentally altered their approach to the language rights of both national minorities and immigrant minorities - in part due to the role played by transnational language communities and European migrants - so that the rights of regional and immigrant language minorities may actually be converging. The Essay proposes that a close analysis of the recent recommendations of the Advisory Committee to the Committee of Ministers on the Framework Convention on National Minorities and the Committee of Experts on the European Charter for Regional and Minority Languages, combined with the jurisprudence of the European Court of Justice, reveals an emerging trend toward this fundamental reframing of minority language rights. The treaty bodies and the ECJ appear to be departing from the traditionally held view of language rights as inherently preservationist and only applicable to members of certain indigenous, territorially anchored minority communities, and are instead adopting a broader, more expansive, human-rights based interpretation of language laws. Treaty bodies and transnational courts also appear to be moving away from treating language groups as collective holders of language rights, to treating individual language speakers as the primary rights-holders. In line with this reframing, this Essay argues that the very instruments originally constructed to protect the rights of the hitherto privileged regional minority groups may also ultimately be employed to promote the rights of individual speakers of the as-yet less favored immigrant languages.
关于欧洲少数民族语言权利的学术辩论通常是基于对地区语言少数群体(如西班牙巴斯克语使用者)或移民语言少数群体(如德国土耳其语使用者)的关注,这两个群体的利益被视为不同的,甚至是对立的。因此,到目前为止,这一领域的学术研究都集中在一个事实上,即存在一种双重权利体系,即民族国家政府和跨欧洲机构都给予地区群体特权,而不是移民群体,很少探索这两个不同群体的权利之间的关系。相比之下,本文认为,近年来,各国政府和泛欧组织从根本上改变了他们对少数民族和移民少数民族的语言权利的态度——部分原因是跨国语言社区和欧洲移民所起的作用——因此,地区语言少数民族和移民语言少数民族的权利实际上可能正在趋同。本文提出,对咨询委员会最近就《少数民族框架公约》和《欧洲区域和少数民族语言宪章》向部长委员会提出的建议和专家委员会提出的建议进行仔细分析,并结合欧洲法院的判例,揭示了一种从根本上重新构建少数民族语言权利的新趋势。条约机构和欧洲法院似乎正在背离传统的观点,即语言权利本质上是保护主义的,只适用于某些土著、领土固定的少数民族社区的成员,而是采用一种更广泛、更广泛、基于人权的语言法解释。条约机构和跨国法院似乎也正在从将语言群体视为语言权利的集体持有人,转向将个别语言使用者视为主要权利持有人。与这一重构相一致,本文认为,最初为保护迄今为止享有特权的地区少数群体的权利而构建的工具,最终也可能被用来促进使用迄今不太受欢迎的移民语言的个人的权利。

The Essay proposes that a close analysis of the recent recommendations of the Advisory Committee to the Committee of Ministers on the Framework Convention on National Minorities and the Committee of Experts on the European Charter for Regional and Minority Languages, combined with the jurisprudence of the European Court of Justice, reveals an emerging trend toward this fundamental reframing of minority language rights. The treaty bodies and the ECJ appear to be departing from the traditionally held view of language rights as inherently preservationist and only applicable to members of certain indigenous, territorially anchored minority communities, and are instead adopting a broader, more expansive, human-rights based interpretation of language laws. Treaty bodies and transnational courts also appear to be moving away from treating language groups as collective holders of language rights, to treating individual language speakers as the primary rights-holders. In line with this reframing, this Essay argues that the very instruments originally constructed to protect the rights of the hitherto privileged regional minority groups may also ultimately be employed to promote the rights of individual speakers of the as-yet less favored immigrant languages.","PeriodicalId":325917,"journal":{"name":"Berkeley Journal of International Law","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122131396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
