Difference Between Private and Public International Law

Over one hundred and eighty sovereign states are members of the United Nations and they have different constitutions. Some have to provide for a federal structure, in others although unitary, include different legal systems within the one state. The disparities between constitutions deals with momentous ethnic, linguistic and religious considerations. Their vagueness requires a prudent imposition on what ?is? and what ?ought? to be the law. The premise of this piece is on Global Administrative Law, with an exegesis on critical legal studies.

Suggesting that even when the Courts decided to review Constitutionality of certain state laws the decisions would generally only conform to national public mood. And when the court’s decision did not conform to the national publics mood Congress would step in to make its out policy outcomes which would more please the majoritarian preferences by reversing the more unpopular Court decisions with reversal legislation. Although there may be some legitimacy to Dahl’s argument, Casper is still able to convey that by excluding interpretation of federal statutes and review of constitutional issues arising from state and local laws and practices only weakens Dahl’s argument being that these activities seem highly relevant to determining the court’s role in national policymaking. When they are considered, the courts role appears substantially more influential than Dahl would like to

When comparing apples to pears, one is not making a fair comparison, but a disproportionate comparison. Often times when international law is discussed or attempts are made to understand international law; many often attempt to compare international law with existing laws such as national law or domestic law. Making such disproportionate comparisons leads to many misconceived notions and attitudes toward international law. For an adequate comparison of international law to other laws, one should look closely at the available facts. This essay will demonstrate the vitality of international law, in a world of nations which continue to increase in interdependence.

This article also examines the meaning and implementation of universal jurisdiction. For no sanction mechanisms have been created to induce them, without their consent, to abide by their obligations, until now only the goodwill of states could be relied on to guarantee their implementation in good faith. Before ending with some possible remedies to minimize potential

We further find persuasive decisions arising from the courts of other jurisdictions that have, by an overwhelming majority, refused to endorse the usurpation of the jurisdiction of a court with concurrent jurisdiction via the failure to permit the matter to be resolved in its original forum. See, e.g., First Midwest Corp. v. Corp. Fin. Assoc., 663 N. W. 2d 888, 892-93 (Iowa 2003) (holding that it was an abuse of discretion to deny stay while matter was pending in neighboring state) (citing Waicker, supra, 347 Md. at 115); Woodmen of the World Life Ins. Soc’y, 549 N.W.2d 172, 176 (Neb. 1996) (holding that “entertaining [a] declaratory judgment action was an abuse of discretion” where same issue were pending in West Virginia); Simmons v. Superior Court in and for L.A. Cnty., 214 P.2d 844, 848-49 (1950) (“The fruits of the recognition of the rule of comity have been so beneficient, when applied to courts of concurrent jurisdiction created by differed sovereignties, as to justify the conclusion that it is not only a rule of comity, but one of necessity.” (internal quotations omitted)); Phelps v. Mut. Reserve Fund Life Ass’n, 112 F. 453, 465-66 (6th Cir. 1901) (“It is a rule of almost universal application that, between courts of the same sovereignty and concurrent jurisdiction, the court which first acquires jurisdiction of the controversy . . . should be suffered by every other court to decide every question within the sphere of the pending cause . . . .”). These persuasive

Things to consider when deciding whether the law is just or not are, who are the laws meant for, and who will fall into

According to Koh (9), “American Exceptionalism” is the belief that the United States is different from every other nation in the world. These differences are due to its unique origins and melting pot, history, and political and religious institution. It is the belief that other nations are corrupt while the United States holds liberty, equality, individualism, and laissez-faire near and dear to it. This thought makes the United States believe they are exempt from international laws and rules. The way the country is set up is pushing citizens to think America is the best out of them all.

This essay advances the position that the quotation under discussion is, with all due respect to the Author, entirely incorrect. It is the counter-argument of this essay that the Courts of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) have ‘abused’ their interpretive jurisdiction, and, in places, have even done violence to the very wording of the Treaty itself.

In a matter of judicial review brought to court, the decision maker may made mistake in acting beyond jurisdiction, misinterpreting the stature that granting the power and making an error of law. Also as pointed out in the Minister for Immigration and Citizenship v SZMDS, the unreasonableness, irrationality or illogicality reasoning in making an administrative decision, the court will excise its power to deliver judgment on the ground that the decision maker was ‘irrational, illogical and not based on findings or inference s of fact supported by logical grounds’.

There is a close relationship between human rights and criminal law. The scope of my paper will surround human rights and the International Criminal Court (ICC) in addition to human rights and international crimes. International criminal justice in this context speaks to those interested in prosecuting against the background of international human rights and humanitarian norms. The use of criminal law has many positive effects and pursues many goals that are worth considering. For example, deterrence, accountability and punishment are important principles that will be discussed in the context of human rights. Is the International Criminal Court an effective method to promote and protect human rights internationally? If so, why and how?

Gradually since starting high school I have become more curious about notions of "right" and "wrong", in a world where such distinctions are not always apparent or obvious. I have lived in the UK, Kuwait and the USA, and observed that each country has different laws and systems that influence people’s way of life and outlook on society. This is the reason behind my interest in law, specifically international law. Attending school in three different countries has provided me with an eclectic insight into the nature of different cultures and political systems, which I find more fascinating as I grow older.

For instance, a violation of arbitral tribunals and arbitrators’ impartiality’s requirement and obligation as well as the impartiality itself are commonly understood and litigated as a violation of procedural public policy. Connection with the arbitral proceedings to some extent clarifies that the concept of procedural public policy derives from one of the fundamental arbitral principles - due process. Nevertheless, it is argued that the concept of procedural public policy somewhat overlaps with Article V (1) (b) of the New York Convention, thus, the discussions on the question whether procedural public policy deals with something more than a breach of due process is present. In the authors point of view it would be illogical to restrict the

In the pursuit of positive peace for the global community, certain mechanisms are necessary in order to better protect human rights and resolve interstate conflicts. Prior to the events of World War II, a cogent set of laws defining those human rights, much less violations therein were never heard at an international scale. The International Criminal Court has the role as both appellate for justice and voice for peace in the international community but has not yet resolve the contradictory ends of both roles. That contradictory end is that many countries proclaim the necessity of the International Criminal Court as an advocate for conflict resolution and peace advocacy while being resist or outright antagonistic towards the court when their own state has committed those same crimes. To the ends of defending basic universal rights, the International Criminal Court (hereafter ICC) serves that capacity when state level systems cannot or will not act accordingly.

If the judiciary are intentionally straying into matters of governmental policy then they as unelected, impartial adjudicators should only do so when cases arise that call for such action, potentially when governmental action threatens the rule of law – a right afforded to them as a constitutional check on governmental power. While the judiciary can be viewed as in a constant skirmish with the Legislature and the Executive much of the judiciary’s power to interoperate statutes liberally comes from powers delegated to it by parliament .

International commercial arbitration is one of the most important legal institutions in international private law. This conclusion follows from the fact that the nature of arbitration depends largely on autonomy of the parties, who choose arbitration procedure as the procedure in which the dispute will be settled; place where the arbitration is to be held; arbitral tribunal etc. Probably the most important and considerable expression of the autonomy is the right to choose the law, which is to be applied to merits of the dispute. The chosen applicable law guarantees in large measure predictability of the outcome of the case and allows parties to control the scope of interpretation and application of the international commercial
