Between August and November, 2017, the Myanmar military carried out a series of brutal attacks against Rohingya Muslim communities in Rakhine State in Myanmar. Myanmar’s military used Facebook as a tool for ethnic cleansing. In theory, Rohingya plaintiffs could bring a state tort law claim against Facebook alleging that Facebook was negligent (or worse) in permitting its social media platform to be utilized to spark mass violence against the Rohingya. Could Facebook be held liable in a civil suit for complicity in genocide, or for aiding and abetting the commission of a crime against humanity? Under current federal law, the answer is clearly “no.” Section 230 of Title 47 of the U.S. Code states: “No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.” Judicial decisions establish that Section 230 grants online service providers broad immunity for content posted by third parties. Thus, Section 230 provides Facebook a valid federal preemption defense to a state tort law claim. This essay contends that Congress should create a statutory exception to Section 230 to permit civil suits against social media companies for complicity in genocide or crimes against humanity. The United States has a clear duty under international law to prevent genocide. One could also make a persuasive argument that the United States has a duty under customary international law to prevent crimes against humanity. The United States is not violating its international legal duty to prevent mass atrocities by granting immunity to internet companies. However, withdrawal of that immunity for content that contributes to commission of mass atrocity crimes would be a helpful step for the United States to implement its duty to prevent genocide and crimes against humanity.
2017年8月至11月,缅甸军方对缅甸若开邦的罗兴亚穆斯林社区进行了一系列残酷袭击。缅甸军方将脸书作为种族清洗的工具。理论上,罗兴亚原告可以对脸书提起州侵权法诉讼,指控脸书在允许其社交媒体平台被用来引发针对罗兴亚人的大规模暴力方面存在疏忽(或更糟)。脸书是否会因参与种族灭绝或协助和教唆犯下危害人类罪而在民事诉讼中承担责任?根据现行联邦法律,答案显然是“不”。《美国法典》第47编第230条规定:“交互式计算机服务的提供商或用户不得被视为其他信息内容提供商提供的任何信息的发布者或发言人。“司法裁决规定,第230条赋予在线服务提供商对第三方发布的内容的广泛豁免权。因此,第230条为Facebook提供了对州侵权法索赔的有效联邦优先购买权辩护。这篇文章认为,国会应该为第230条规定一个法定例外,允许对社交媒体公司共谋种族灭绝或反人类罪提起民事诉讼。根据国际法,美国有防止种族灭绝的明确义务。人们还可以提出一个有说服力的论点,即根据习惯国际法,美国有义务防止危害人类罪。美国给予互联网公司豁免权并没有违反其防止大规模暴行的国际法律义务。然而,撤销对有助于犯下大规模暴行罪的内容的豁免权,将有助于美国履行其防止种族灭绝和危害人类罪的义务。

CHALLENGES FOR IMPLEMENTING A PTSD PREVENTIVE GENOMIC SEQUENCING PROGRAM IN THE U.S. MILITARY. 美国军队实施创伤后应激障碍预防基因组测序计划的挑战。
Gabriel Lázaro-Muñoz, Eric T Juengst

There is growing interest in using the quickly developing field of genomics to contribute to military readiness and effectiveness. Specifically, influential military advisory panels have recommended that the U.S. military apply genomics to help treat, prevent, or minimize the risk for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among service members. This article highlights some important scientific, legal, and ethical challenges regarding the development and deployment of a preventive genomic sequencing (PGS) program to predict the risk of PTSD among military service members.

Child Pirates: Rehabilitation, Reintegration, and Accountability 儿童海盗:康复、重返社会和责任
Pub Date : 2013-09-26 DOI: 10.2139/SSRN.2331510
M. Drumbl
Maritime piracy is among the original universal jurisdiction crimes. Denounced by customary international law and recognized as a breach of jus cogens, piracy also is defined and proscribed by a number of international treaties. Piracy has garnered recent international attention through its proliferation off the coast of Somalia and the resultant impact on international shipping and trade, not to mention loss of life. While incidents of Somali piracy are decreasing, piratical attacks are on the upswing elsewhere, for example off the Gulf of Guinea in Western Africa. The United Nations Security Council endorses a criminal justice model in response to acts of piracy. The Security Council thereby promotes a mechanism of judicialization and penalization. So, too, do the United Nations General Assembly, many states, international organizations (such as the International Maritime Organization), trade groups, and the shippers lobby. In the recent past, many detained pirates were perfunctorily captured and released. With the spread of the criminal justice model, however, pirates are increasingly facing prosecution in national courts, mainly in Kenya, Seychelles, and Maldives, but also in Germany, the US, India, France, Spain, Japan, and Somalia – among others.It has been estimated that approximately one-third of captured pirates are minors, that is, persons under the age of eighteen. This article explores issues of accountability, reintegration, deterrence and rehabilitation in the context of child pirates. It recommends modalities of restorative and reintegrative justice for child pirates that avoid the careless superficiality of immediate release and the retributive heavy-handedness of criminal trials. Regrettably, prevailing imagery that cloaks juveniles enmeshed in international crimes, for example child soldiers, does not favor this middle ground. Instead, this narrative imagery facilitates either perfunctory release (the faultless passive victim image) or criminal trials regardless of age (the demon and bandit image). Unlike the case with child soldiers, however, the position of UN entities when it comes to child pirates tends toward greater punitiveness – assuredly, a concerning development.Part I of this Article sets out data on piracy generally and addresses some specifics regarding juvenile involvement. Part II summarizes current efforts to criminally prosecute child pirates in instances where capture and release policies are not implemented. Part III explores why juveniles may end up in pirate gangs. Part IV critically assesses the deterrent effect of criminal prosecutions of juvenile pirates and proposes a new path, namely, one that leads toward restorative justice. Part V concludes.
海盗是最早具有普遍管辖权的犯罪之一。海盗行为受到习惯国际法的谴责,被认为违反了强制法,许多国际条约也对海盗行为进行了界定和禁止。海盗活动最近在索马里沿海扩散,对国际航运和贸易造成影响,更不用说造成人员伤亡,这引起了国际社会的关注。虽然索马里海盗事件正在减少,但其他地方的海盗袭击却在上升,例如西非几内亚湾附近。联合国安理会支持一种应对海盗行为的刑事司法模式。因此,安全理事会促进了一种司法和惩罚机制。联合国大会、许多国家、国际组织(如国际海事组织)、贸易团体和托运人游说团体也是如此。在最近的过去,许多被关押的海盗被草率地抓获并释放。然而,随着刑事司法模式的推广,海盗越来越多地面临国家法院的起诉,主要是在肯尼亚、塞舌尔和马尔代夫,但也有在德国、美国、印度、法国、西班牙、日本和索马里等国。据估计,被捕的海盗中约有三分之一是未成年人,即18岁以下的人。本文探讨了儿童海盗背景下的问责、重返社会、威慑和康复问题。报告建议对海盗儿童采取恢复性和重新整合的司法方式,避免草率的表面释放和严厉的刑事审判。令人遗憾的是,为卷入国际罪行的青少年(例如儿童兵)披上外衣的普遍形象并不支持这种中间立场。相反,这种叙事意象要么有利于敷衍了事的释放(无可指责的被动受害者形象),要么有利于不分年龄的刑事审判(恶魔和强盗形象)。然而,与儿童兵的情况不同,联合国实体在涉及儿童海盗时的立场倾向于更严厉的惩罚——当然,这是一个令人担忧的发展。这篇文章的第一部分列出了关于海盗的一般数据,并讨论了一些关于青少年参与的具体问题。第二部分总结了目前在没有实施抓捕和释放政策的情况下对儿童海盗进行刑事起诉的努力。第三部分探讨了青少年最终可能加入海盗团伙的原因。第四部分对少年海盗刑事起诉的威慑效果进行了批判性评估,并提出了一条通向恢复性司法的新路径。第五部分是结论。

Combating Maritime Piracy: Inter-Disciplinary Cooperation and Information Sharing 打击海盗:跨学科合作与信息共享
Pub Date : 2013-09-13 DOI: 10.2139/SSRN.2325279

In recent years, maritime piracy has reemerged as a serious threat to the international community, particularly following the significant increase in incidents of maritime piracy and armed robbery at sea that occurred off the coast of Somalia and in the Gulf of Guinea. As presented in this article, international cooperation is indispensable for combating piracy. To that end, the article argues that a duty to cooperate in the repression of piracy is moored in various international instruments — notably in article 100 of the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) — as well as in general principles of international law. It requires states to adhere to due diligence ‘best efforts’ standards, which, in the context of maritime piracy, entail exercising sincere, concerted, and proactive efforts. The duty to cooperate should serve as a guiding principle in identifying the specific obligations imposed on states. Among those specific obligations is the duty to share relevant information that can assist in preventing piracy attacks and in facilitating prosecution of suspected pirates. It is further submitted that successful undertakings to fight maritime piracy necessitate inter-disciplinary cooperation, namely cooperation among entities whose expertise generally lies in different fields. The article further discusses the main challenges for information sharing and proposes solutions to meet those challenges.
近年来,海盗行为重新成为国际社会的严重威胁,特别是在索马里沿海和几内亚湾发生的海盗和海上武装抢劫事件大幅增加之后。如本文所述,国际合作对打击海盗是不可或缺的。为此,这篇文章认为,合作打击海盗的义务是各种国际文书——尤其是《联合国海洋法公约》(UNCLOS)第100条——以及国际法的一般原则所规定的。它要求各国遵守尽职调查的“尽最大努力”标准,在海盗问题上,这需要采取真诚、协调和积极的努力。合作义务应成为确定各国具体义务的指导原则。在这些具体义务中,有责任分享有助于防止海盗袭击和促进起诉海盗嫌疑人的相关信息。缔约国还认为,打击海盗的成功行动需要跨学科合作,即专业知识一般在不同领域的实体之间的合作。本文进一步讨论了信息共享面临的主要挑战,并提出了应对这些挑战的解决方案。

Targeted Killing: When Proportionality Gets All Out of Proportion 有针对性的杀戮:当比例变得不成比例
Pub Date : 2013-01-01 DOI: 10.2139/SSRN.2230686
A. Guiora
Targeted killing sits at the intersection of law, morality, strategy, and policy. For the very reasons that lawful and effective targeted killing enables the state to engage in its core function of self-defense and defense of its nationals, I am a proponent of targeted killing. However, my support for targeted killing is conditioned upon it being subject to rigorous standards, criteria, and guidelines. At present, new conceptions of threat and new technological capabilities are drastically affecting the implementation of targeted killing and the application of core legal and moral principles. High-level decision makers have begun to seemingly place a disproportionate level of importance on tactical and strategic gain over respect for a narrow definition of criteria-based legal and moral framework. Nonetheless, an effective targeted killing provides the state with significant advantages in the context of counterterrorism. Rather than relying on the executive branch making decisions in a “closed world” devoid of oversight and review, the intelligence information justifying the proposed action must be submitted to a court that would ascertain the information’s admissibility. The process of preparing and submitting available intelligence information to a court would significantly contribute to minimizing operational error that otherwise would occur.
定点清除是法律、道德、战略和政策的交汇点。正当合法和有效的定点清除使国家能够行使其自卫和保卫国民的核心职能时,我是定点清除的支持者。然而,我对定点清除的支持是以严格的标准、标准和指导方针为前提的。目前,新的威胁概念和新的技术能力正在极大地影响定点清除的实施以及核心法律和道德原则的适用。高级别决策者似乎已开始过分重视战术和战略收益,而不重视基于标准的法律和道德框架的狭隘定义。尽管如此,有效的定点清除为国家在反恐方面提供了显著优势。与其依赖行政部门在一个缺乏监督和审查的“封闭世界”中做出决定,不如将证明拟议行动的情报信息提交给法院,以确定这些信息的可采性。编制和向法院提交现有情报资料的过程将大大有助于尽量减少否则可能发生的操作错误。

A Tragi-Comedy of Errors Erodes Self-Execution of Treaties: Medellin v. Texas and Beyond 错误的悲喜剧侵蚀了条约的自我执行:麦德林诉德克萨斯州及其后

In Medellin v. Texas (2008), the U.S. Supreme Court further mystified the already ambiguous doctrine of self-execution of treaty provisions that create rights for individuals. Lower court self-execution decisions since Medellin suggest that, at least in certain classes of cases, the potentially broad language in Medellin that appears to restrict self-execution is being ignored.

Intervention in Libya, Yes; Intervention in Syria, No: Deciphering the Obama Administration 干预利比亚,是的;干预叙利亚,否:解读奥巴马政府
Pub Date : 2012-01-27 DOI: 10.2139/SSRN.1993322
A. Guiora
Deciphering an American presidential administration is truly yeoman’s work. Whether the Obama Administration is significantly distinct from previous administrations is too early to judge. Arguably, the task should be left to historians. Nevertheless, even a casual perusal of President Obama’s Middle East policy (perhaps best described as "policy") reflects a combination of naivete, inconsistency and murkiness. While perhaps by design, the impact — on the ground — is deeply troublesome. While domestic political considerations are a reality, the implications of the Administration’s policy in an area of the world as treacherous as the Middle East are, potentially, staggering.Precisely because international law does not articulate either normative or architectural standards as to when international humanitarian intervention is justified, national leaders arguably have a responsibility to act. The oft-cited phrase "when the cannons roar, the muses are silent" is particularly relevant to this discussion. For a variety of reasons, the international community has determined — whether actively or passively — that the massacre of the Syrian population by the Assad government does not justify international humanitarian intervention. While the human rights violations occurring on a daily basis do not compare to the horrors of Rwanda, Kosovo, or Sierra Leone they are not less compelling than the events transpiring in Libya. If, by metaphorical analogy, the international community is the cannons and the U.S. is the muse, does that mean that the Obama Administration is required to be silent? After all, if the quote were to be rigorously applied, then many of the institutions created to minimize human suffering would neither exist, much less function in wartime. While the distinction — from the perspective of international humanitarian intervention — between Libya and Syria is as unclear, as are the criteria that justify intervention, that must not serve as a misguided basis for the Obama Administration to largely turn its back on the Syrian people.
解读美国总统的行政管理确实是一件苦差事。判断奥巴马政府是否与前几届政府有明显不同还为时过早。可以说,这项任务应该留给历史学家。然而,即使是随便阅读一下奥巴马总统的中东政策(也许用“政策”来形容最恰当),也反映出一种天真、不一致和模糊的结合。虽然可能是有意为之,但对地面的影响是非常麻烦的。虽然国内政治考虑是一个现实,但在中东这样一个危险的地区,政府政策的影响可能是惊人的。正是因为国际法没有明确规定国际人道主义干预何时是正当的规范或架构标准,国家领导人可以说有责任采取行动。常被引用的一句话“大炮轰鸣时,缪斯沉默”与这一讨论特别相关。出于各种原因,国际社会已经确定——无论是主动的还是被动的——阿萨德政府对叙利亚人民的屠杀不能成为国际人道主义干预的理由。虽然每天发生的侵犯人权事件无法与卢旺达、科索沃或塞拉利昂的恐怖事件相比,但它们的引人注目程度并不亚于利比亚发生的事件。如果打个比方,国际社会是大炮,美国是缪斯,这是否意味着奥巴马政府必须保持沉默?毕竟,如果这句话被严格地应用,那么许多旨在减少人类痛苦的机构都将不复存在,更不用说在战时发挥作用了。虽然从国际人道主义干预的角度来看,利比亚和叙利亚之间的区别并不明确,干预的标准也不明确,但这绝不能成为奥巴马政府在很大程度上背弃叙利亚人民的错误依据。
{"title":"Intervention in Libya, Yes; Intervention in Syria, No: Deciphering the Obama Administration","authors":"A. Guiora","doi":"10.2139/SSRN.1993322","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/SSRN.1993322","url":null,"abstract":"Deciphering an American presidential administration is truly yeoman’s work. Whether the Obama Administration is significantly distinct from previous administrations is too early to judge. Arguably, the task should be left to historians. Nevertheless, even a casual perusal of President Obama’s Middle East policy (perhaps best described as \"policy\") reflects a combination of naivete, inconsistency and murkiness. While perhaps by design, the impact — on the ground — is deeply troublesome. While domestic political considerations are a reality, the implications of the Administration’s policy in an area of the world as treacherous as the Middle East are, potentially, staggering.Precisely because international law does not articulate either normative or architectural standards as to when international humanitarian intervention is justified, national leaders arguably have a responsibility to act. The oft-cited phrase \"when the cannons roar, the muses are silent\" is particularly relevant to this discussion. For a variety of reasons, the international community has determined — whether actively or passively — that the massacre of the Syrian population by the Assad government does not justify international humanitarian intervention. While the human rights violations occurring on a daily basis do not compare to the horrors of Rwanda, Kosovo, or Sierra Leone they are not less compelling than the events transpiring in Libya. If, by metaphorical analogy, the international community is the cannons and the U.S. is the muse, does that mean that the Obama Administration is required to be silent? After all, if the quote were to be rigorously applied, then many of the institutions created to minimize human suffering would neither exist, much less function in wartime. While the distinction — from the perspective of international humanitarian intervention — between Libya and Syria is as unclear, as are the criteria that justify intervention, that must not serve as a misguided basis for the Obama Administration to largely turn its back on the Syrian people.","PeriodicalId":80896,"journal":{"name":"Case Western Reserve journal of international law","volume":"44 1","pages":"251"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.2139/SSRN.1993322","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67835624","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}
