The Legal Foundations Of The State Case

That the district courts shall have…. cognizance, concurrent with the courts of the several States, or the circuit courts, as the case may be, of all causes where an alien sues for a tort only in violation of the law of nations or a treaty of the United States.

AEDPA, the federal court has been asked to respect the ruling of state’s court when considering writs (Moore, 1).

I have learned numerous information about the criminal justice system about the past two months. I want to point out that the prosecutor has the most power in court is the prosecutor and the court room is the key in the justice system. These new information gives me a closer look on how the criminal justice system works and make me question about what kind of flaws does the system have. In this work, I will compare and contrast my belief, where it change or not, about the criminal justice system before and after the new information.

There are two categories of preemption supporting federal law’s dominion over state law; preemption of field, and preemption of conflict.

This reading outlines the evolution of housing rights in New York City – beginning with “skid row” populations. Lawyers had to first persuade courts that the government first had an obligation to provide shelter before standards of shelter could be addressed. McCain v. Koch was an important case because in its holding, the court upheld the trial court’s injunction that the shelters had to meet certain standards. Litigation allowed the government to be held accountable for due process infractions, which paved the way for a shift from shelter to housing. In addition, state constitutions could be held to more expansive housing rights. For example, the article mentions Article XVII of the New York State Constitution. The other way the article details to move from the right to shelter to the right to housing is by requiring that part of the right to shelter is assistance in finding permanent housing. This transition was partially enabled by the settlement negotiations of McCain, which required the city to provide grants for security deposits and storage fees, as well brokers’ fees. The

As indicated by “THE CONCEPT OF SOVEREIGN OR GOVERNMENTAL IMMUNITY”, a state may not be sued in tort without its assent. In spite of the fact that the regulation is subjected to rehash legal difficulties, is held fast to in countless. It is the dispute of this article that the explanation behind the guideline no more exists and that it ought to, subsequently, be nullified as a controlling legitimate standard. Be that as it may, it is presented that sovereign resistance abuses the due procedure and equivalent security provisions of the United States Constitution.

It reasoned that there is a 'fundamental distinction between the existence of the Court's jurisdiction over a dispute, and the compatibility with international law of the particular acts which are the subject of the dispute'. State consent remains the determining factor when it comes to jurisdiction of an international court, even when it comes to rights and obligations erga omnes or jus cogens. In a dissenting opinion, the question was raised whether the fact that the prohibition on genocide is a jus cogens norm implies that a reservation to the court's jurisdiction would be incompatible with the Genocide convention. Accepting this assumption would have far reaching implications for the idea of state sovereignty as it would limit States

(a) The proceedings were or are being undertaken or the national decision was made for the purpose of shielding the person concerned from criminal responsibility for crimes within the jurisdiction of the Court referred to in article 5;

In the case of State V. Nagami, the Japanese government accused Nagami and her husband, Earke K Reynolds were charged by the Japanese law enforcement for leaving the country without passport. However, the defendant argued that refusing a person a passport is a violation of a human right, and also a violation of a Japanese constitution for the travel?s right (August, Mayer & Bixby 2013).

The second issue raised by Cassese also raises some pertinent issues to this question. This he argues is the more major failing presented by this judgment by the ICJ. This is the issue of the courts failure to distinguish between personal and functional immunities. The distinction largely for these two immunities is based on state practice, in that the first, functional immunity, grants it for that of acts committed on official business and the second, personal immunity, is largely to avoid ‘foreign states either infringing sovereign prerogatives of states or interfering with the official functions of a foreign state under the pretext of dealing with an exclusively private act’. this distinction is relevant as both of these immunities rest on thoroughly different foundations as Cassese recognises within his argument. He argues that functional immunity relates to substantive law and therefore the obligation is on the state, and personal immunity relates to procedural law, rendering the state immune from civil or criminal jurisdiction, it relates to both official and private acts and comes to an end after the state officials cease to hold office. He then goes onto argue this case further, stating it is important to recognise this distinction. This being that for functional immunity, it is pre-established within the international community that for

Mutual Recognition can be explained as a process whereby a judgement served from one judicial authority is recognised and adhered to by another judicial authority. This measure was a welcomed change to the previous strategies used in the EU regarding international cooperation in criminal matters. According to European Institutions, the older process of mutual legal assistance was too slow and could not endure the ever increasing problem of cross-border criminal activity. In essence, the

The principle of state sovereignty has long constituted a foundational cornerstone of international relations, but it has likewise come to pose substantial practico-theoretical dilemmas for those operating within the discipline. In light of such knowledge, it shall be necessary to undertake a sustained analysis of state sovereignty, as well as of the various quandaries which have come to surround it over time. Hence, this essay shall endeavour to juxtapose the historical emergence and evolution of state sovereignty with the new-fangled doctrine of R2P, which itself may be conceived of as one of the prime problematics currently confronting the time-honoured tradition of sovereignty. In so doing, recourse shall be made to the following questions: from whence did sovereignty first emerge, and what is its prime ideational underpinning? Why has sovereignty come to be embroiled in heated global debate since the termination of the cold-war? In which manner has the doctrine of R2P served to countervail that of sovereignty? How would realists and liberals conceive of this dilemma, and which of their respective positions may be said to hold more weight? Once having formulated responses to such questions, a conclusive proposal shall finally be made as to how the international community might go about negotiating the ongoing tension between sovereignty and R2P.

It shall be a permanent institution and shall have the power to exercise its jurisdiction over persons for the most serious crimes of international concern, as referred to in this Statute, and shall be complementary to national criminal jurisdictions. The jurisdiction and functioning of the Court shall be governed by the provisions of this Statute.
