Thinking of China's Loyal Youth
Posted on April 16, 2008An editorial by Matthew Forney, former Beijing bureau chief for Time, entitled, China's Loyal Youth, explores some of the reasons why most young Chinese support their government's recent suppression of the Tibetan uprising. Forney's assessment of the next generation of Chinese-- those 30 years of age and under-- is interesting because it gives a cursory look at the future policy makers, lawyers, and businesspeople of the fastest growing economy in the world...
Yo Ho Ho and a Bottle of Rum
Posted on April 13, 2008An article at IntLawGrrls entitled, The Jolly Roger Still Flies, reminds us that piracy is still a very lucrative business-- I don't mean piracy in the intellectual property sense of the word-- I mean REAL pirates! Here is a piece of the article: ...[T]oday?s pirates seem to have gone largely unmentioned in the mainstream press, despite their having taken some 3200 sailors hostage over the last 10 years, which they?ve ransomed for millions of dollars (paid by the shipowners)...
The U.S. Military's Contemplated Use of the Blogosphere
Posted on April 08, 2008While I was perusing the blogosphere about a week ago, I came across a post on Opinio Juris that caught my attention entitled, US Military Thought About Recruiting-- or Hiring-- Bloggers, which discusses a 2006 report for the Joint Special Operations University that suggests using bloggers to verbally attack a specific person or promote a specific message...
Seeing The Tibet Situation Clearly: Old Tibet and Democracy for a Future Tibet
Posted on April 03, 2008There is always two sides to every story and the same is true about the unrest in Tibet. The state operated Xinhua News issued an editorial today entitled, Don't See Tibet Through Tainted Glasses, which argues that Tibet is better now than it was before it came under the control of China...
Comparing the Current Account Balances of the U.S. and China
Posted on April 01, 2008The Crashing Down Now blog has a post entitled, The U.S. Account Balance?, which discussed the CIA World Factbook rank order of each country's current account balance. I've never even heard of a country's current account balance, and so I was surprised to learn that the U...
AFRC Appeal: Joint Criminal Enterprise
Posted on March 27, 2008This is the second in a series that will post excerpts from the Armed Forces Revolutionary Council Appeal Judgment from the Special Court for Sierra Leone. The section concerns Joint Criminal Enterprise, a mode of liability that is somewhat akin to conspiracy...
Medellin v. Texas: ICJ decision creates an international obligation, but not domestic law
Posted on March 25, 2008This morning?s decision in Medellin v. Texas is the culmination of a long line of cases, both at the ICJ and at the Supreme Court, that have attempted to determine the effect that an ICJ ruling has under U.S. domestic law. In the law review comment I am working on, I have approached this problem from the perspective of trying to doctrinally resolve the Medellin line of cases with the Supreme Court?s decision in Mitsubishi Motors v...
Before you go to the Olympic Games in China
Posted on March 24, 2008Amid the violent protests in Tibet and the calls for a boycott of the Beijing Olympics, the US State Department issued a "fact sheet" regarding the upcoming 2008 Olympic games in Beijing. The fact sheet says that China is generally safe but the "recent violence in Tibet" and a recently "failed attempt to create an explosion on a passenger plane in flight from western China?s Xinjiang Province to Beijing are good examples of how potentially dangerous events can occur in the run-up to the Olympics...
Violence in Tibet Presents China With the Tiananmen Square Dilemma
Posted on March 16, 2008A few days ago I argued in a previous post that the protests and violence in Tibet could be the first of many Tiananmen Square type incidents that occur throughout China during the months leading up to the Olympics. An article published by the Times Online entitled, Fears of Another Tiananmen as Tibet Explodes in Hatred, corroborated my previous sentiments...
Violent Protests in Tibet Invite Questions About The Chinese Government's Control Over The Country
Posted on March 14, 2008The violence in Tibet is an indication of the chaos that could result from the Olympics in China. An article by the Christian Science Monitor posits an explanation as to why this years annual protests in Tibet are more volatile than they have been in decades...
A Reason to Have Faith in China's Legal System: The Labor Contract Law
Posted on March 06, 2008NPR's All Things Considered did a piece recently on the new labor contract law in China. The show barely skimmed the surface of the new law, summarizing it as "a new law requiring businesses to give workers written contracts and pay compensation if they're fired...

AFRC Appeal Judgment
Posted on March 03, 2008The Appeal Judgment in the Armed Forces Revolutionary Council (AFRC) case was filed and released on March 3. There are a number of sections in the Judgment that I am sure will be of interest, notably, the Joint Criminal Enterprise section and the Forced Marriage section...
