Wuerth: An Originalism for Foreign Affairs?

Ingrid B. Wuerth (Vanderbilt Univ. - Law) has posted An Originalism for Foreign Affairs? (Saint Louis University Law Journal, forthcoming). The piece comes out of a symposium on "The Use and Misuse of History in U.S. Foreign Relations Law" that was held at the Saint Louis University School of Law in March. Here's the abstract:

Legal scholarship on foreign affairs frequently focuses on the Constitution's text and original meaning, but generally does not fully engage debates about originalism as a method of modern constitutional interpretation. For its part, much of the scholarship defending originalism as a methodology has said little explicitly about foreign affairs. This short article describes three contemporary normative arguments in favor of originalism - those advanced by Randy Barnett, Keith Whittington, and John McGinnis and Michael Rappaport - and then considers their application to foreign affairs. It concludes that these arguments are at best underdeveloped and at worst weak when it comes to many of constitutional issues that arise in the foreign affairs area. Originalists could clarify and strengthen their normative arguments if they focused greater attention on foreign affairs, particularly non-judicial constitutional interpretation, the relationship between executive and congressional power, and consequentialist problems that arise in this context. For foreign relations scholars, particularly those focused on history, this contribution is meant to encourage greater engagement with the methodology of contemporary constitutional interpretation.

Fuß: Das Verantwortlichkeitsregime der nicht staatlichen Konfliktpartei für die Verletzung des humanitären Mindeststandards

Michael Fuß has published Das Verantwortlichkeitsregime der nicht staatlichen Konfliktpartei für die Verletzung des humanitären Mindeststandards (Verlag Dr. Kovač 2008). Here's the abstract:

Im Gegensatz zu früheren Auseinandersetzungen spielen sich bewaffnete Konflikte verstärkt innerhalb bestehender Staaten oder staatsähnlicher Gebilde ab. Diese vielfach lang andauernden Konflikte werden zumeist auf einem niedrigen waffentechnischen Niveau ausgetragen. Faktisch sind Zivilisten im gegenwärtigen Konfliktgeschehen oftmals ein strategisches Instrument der Konfliktaustragung. Anhand dieser Entwicklung stellt sich die Frage nach den völkerrechtlichen Konsequenzen solcher grausamen Vorgehensweisen. Aufällig ist insbesondere, dass nicht nur staatliche Stellen an diesen gegen die zumeist schutzlose Zivilbevölkerung gerichteten Verbrechen beteiligt sind, sondern in einem verstärkten Maße nicht staatliche Akteure. Welche rechtlichen Konsequenzen hat eine Verletzung des sogenannten humanitären Mindeststandards durch diese Konfliktparteien? Der Verfasser geht der Frage nach der völkerrechtlichen Verantwortlichkeit der nicht staatlichen Konfliktpartei für Verletzungen des humanitären Mindeststandards in Form des Art. 3 der Genfer Abkommen nach. Das Buch beinhaltet damit die Schnittmenge zwischen den Rechtsmaterien der völkerrechtlichen Verantwortlichkeit, dem humanitären Völkerrecht und dem Friedenssicherungsrecht.

Murphy & Mansson: Peace Operations and Human Rights

Ray Murphy (National Univ. of Ireland, Galway - Irish Centre for Human Rights) & Katarina Mansson (National Univ. of Ireland, Galway - Irish Centre for Human Rights) have published Peace Operations and Human Rights (Routledge 2008). Here's the abstract:

The protection and promotion of human rights is an integral part of contemporary international peacekeeping operations. It is also a controversial aspect of peace operations at both an institutional and operational level. By bringing together a wide range of practitioners and academic scholars, this special issue addresses key contemporary legal, political and operational challenges to human rights protection.

Knox: Diagonal Environmental Rights

John H. Knox (Wake Forest Univ. - Law) has posted Diagonal Environmental Rights (in Extraterritorial Obligations in Human Rights Law, forthcoming). Here's the abstract:

Environmental rights are diagonal if they are held by individuals or groups against the governments of states other than their own. The potential importance of such rights is obvious: governments' actions often affect the environment beyond their jurisdiction, and those who live in and rely upon the environment affected would like to be able to exercise rights against the governments causing them harm. Although international law has not adopted a comprehensive, uniform approach to such rights, human rights law and international environmental law have begun to develop some possible bases for diagonal environmental rights.

Human rights law operates primarily along a vertical axis, setting out individuals' rights against their governments and the corresponding duties owed by the governments, but it may also be diagonal, giving rise to duties on the part of states that extend beyond their own territory. The scope and extent of diagonal human rights are often controversial, and environmental rights face additional difficulties, because the environmental protection required by human rights is clarifying only gradually, on a case-by-case basis. To the extent that human rights require such protection when aligned vertically, it would be logical to conclude that they require the same degree of protection whenever they may be aligned diagonally. Human rights law provides few precedents to support that conclusion, however.

Compared to human rights law, international environmental law (IEL) provides a clearer and more specific set of duties with respect to environmental protection. Moreover, most IEL is extraterritorial, in that it requires states to regulate actions within their control that could harm the environment beyond their territory. The problem with grounding diagonal environmental rights in IEL is that, in contrast to human rights law, most IEL operates along a horizontal axis: its duties are owed by states to other states, not to private actors. If the challenge for human rights law is to extend rights from the vertical axis to the diagonal, the challenge for IEL is to derive diagonal rights from horizontal ones.

Call for Papers: The Protection of Intellectual Property Rights through International Investment Agreements - Only a Romance or True Love?

Transnational Dispute Management has issued a call for papers for publication in a forthcoming special issue of its journal. The topic is "The Protection of Intellectual Property Rights through International Investment Agreements - Only a Romance or True Love?" Here's the call:

We hereby announced a forthcoming TDM special issue on "The Protection of Intellectual Property Rights through International Investment Agreements". This special issue will analyse the level of protection granted by International Investment Agreements (IIAs) in regard to Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs).

IPRs are today recognized as one of the most valuable assets within the international economy. Due to their intangible nature, they require worldwide protection against illegal copying or other forms of unjust exploitation. IPR-holders regularly complain that foreign governments refuse adequately to protect their rights or themselves engage in infringement. Such infringements might appear as acts, e.g., through the granting of compulsory licenses, or as omissions, e.g. in the form of denial of justice against infringements by private parties.

IIAs provide foreign investors with protection against certain forms of interference with investments by the host state. Many IIAs explicitly mention IPRs as one form of protected investment. Unlike other IPR-related international treaties, IIAs typically grant the investor the right to have an alleged breach of the treaty adjudicated through investor-state-arbitration. During the last decade, the number of investor-state-arbitrations has skyrocketed and reshaped the landscape of international investment law.

However, the protection of IPRs through IIAs remains relatively unexplored territory: cases are few and commentaries limited. This special issue of TDM will shed light on the interaction between IPR law and international investment law.

Possible topics might include:

• An introduction to IPRs and the political risks associated with them
• The international law framework for protection of IPRs, e.g., TRIPS and the WIPO conventions
• A survey of the coverage of IPRs as protected "investments" in IIAs
• Protection of IPRs in the context of Free Trade Agreements versus in Bilateral Investment Treaties
• What do the concepts of "national treatment" and "non-discrimination" mean in the context of protection of IPR?
• Indirect expropriation of IPRs: compulsory licenses and revocations of patents
• Denial of justice through a lack of enforcement of national IPR laws?
• Is investor-state arbitration an effective way to protect IPRs?
• Impact of offering IPR protection on foreign direct investment flows
• Public welfare exceptions in IIAs: How could these impact on controversial issues like GMOs and access to HIV drugs?
• Are IPR-related protections in BITs undermining the level playing field offered by TRIPS, the WIPO conventions and other multilateral IPR treaties?
• Remedies available under IIAs for breach of IPRs.

We hereby invite all those with an interest in the subject to contribute articles or notes on one of the above topics or any other relevant issue. Publication is expected in the fourth quarter of 2008. Proposals for papers should be submitted to the editors - James Hosking (james.hosking@cliffordchance.com) and Markus Perkams (markus.perkams@cliffordchance.com), of Clifford Chance New York and Frankfurt, respectively.

Conference: Theorising the Global Legal Order

This Wednesday and Thursday, May 21-22, the Swansea University School of Law will host a conference on "Theorising the Global Legal Order," in Swansea. The program is here; paper abstracts are here. Why attend?

Academic literature within law and elsewhere is replete with works addressing various aspects of globalisation, and within this literature there are copious attempts of taking one theoretical perspective or another on the subject matter treated. Nevertheless, there is a recognised paucity of theoretical underpinning for the development of law as an academic discipline into the broader territory that current global trends now present, and this lack is recognised even among those whose own work is at the forefront of theoretical inquiry in the area. Part of the explanation for this state of affairs is that in confronting the novel extensions to the concerns of academic law, new perspectives have been borrowed from other disciplines rather than working through the consequences for a distinctively legal approach (no matter how much resonance with other disciplines such an approach might ultimately enjoy). Another contributory factor is that the explosion of new types of legal phenomena in the global arena has multiplied issues to address faster than any developing theory can keep up with them. And a related factor is that where theory has succeeded in developing to a significant extent it has tended to be confined to dealing with a particular aspect of the subject matter or to expounding a particular theoretical perspective, without fully addressing the implications for or from other aspects, nor fully engaging with other perspectives.

The rationale for the conference lies in seeking to bring together a number of disparate and often inchoate concerns about theorising law in the global context – concerns that may focus on constitutionalist frameworks or on culturalist forces, that may be inspired by traditional insights of the peculiarly institutional nature of law or be captivated by the potential for law to be transformed by extra-legal impulses – and by providing a venue for debate, engagement, and exploration of ideas, to broaden the understanding of academic lawyers of the issues and openings for further work in what amounts to a critical area of legal research and scholarship.

ILR - One Year On

Last week marked the first anniversary of the International Law Reporter's inaugural post. The idea behind ILR was fairly straightforward - to bring you the latest and most interesting news and information on scholarship, events, and ideas in international law and related fields. An obvious corollary was that reports should reflect the wide range of scholarship out there - in terms of viewpoint, scholarly discipline, type of publication, and language. Another was that ILR's coverage must encompass the full scope of contemporary international law subjects. The assumption, in other words, was that folks interested in international law needed to know not only what was going on in their own particular specialty and in their own particular country but also what was going on in seemingly unrelated substantive areas and in unfamiliar journals published in different languages and in different parts of the world.

We've tried hard to do all this, but we know that there's always room for improvement. Suggestions are most welcome. And though we can't guarantee that we'll post everything we receive, we encourage you to contact us with announcements of events and publications.

ILR would not exist without the many visitors from all parts of the world who make this blog a part of their daily routine. Thanks for coming, and we hope you come back.
