Migration and Integration
Migration and Integration clarifies and proposes answers for all of the politically toxic questions associated with large-scale migration from the Global South to the Western liberal democracies. Driven by the conviction that the Alt-Right is using the issues of migration and integration effectively to batter the defenses of liberal democracy, Professor Tom Farer argues that despite its strength, the moral case for open borders should be rejected…
Can the United States Violently Punish the Assad Regime? Competing Visions (Including That of Anthony D’Amato) of the Applicable International Law
A regime’s pitiless slaughter of civilians, particularly in an urbanized middle-class country close to Europe, drives segments of the public on both sides of the left-right divide to demand that something be done to quell the killing. When, as in the case of Syria, the regime cannot be shamed, has financial and materiel reserves and backup funding and troops from powerful allies, and has no higher ideal than self-preservation—when, in other words…
Governing the Great Transnational River Systems
A LARGE PROPORTION OF THE WORLD’S POPULATION DEPENDS EXISTENTIALLY on the water (and waterpower) of one or more of the globe’s major transnational river systems. By virtue of its transnational flow, each system has acquired a set of intergovernmental understandings varying in formality and degree of institutionalization and subject to ongoing practice and discourse. For the most part, those understandings have sufficiently structured discourse an…
Looking Forward
IN OUR INAUGURAL ESSAY, TIM SISK AND I DECLARED OUR INTENTION TO FOSter exploration of the ways in which social goods--like wealth, power, security, authority, food, water, and knowledge--are continuously distributed or maldistributed through cooperation and competition among influential actors--public, nonprofit, and private (including illicit associations)--within a constantly evolving normative framework, an increasingly stressed natural envir…
Two Cheers for Humanitarianism
Over the last two decades a spate of books, led by the ones cited in this essay, have illuminated and debated the bristly questions confronting contemporary “humanitarianism.” The definitional or, one might say, foundational question is whether the adjective “humanitarian” should be limited to only those independent agencies that are engaged (without reference to a political context) in the impartial delivery of emergency relief to all those in e…
Enhancing International Cooperation
Thoughts from the New Coeditors: Where and Why Are We Going? The transfer of editorial stewardship for a journal provides the occasion to rethink the journal's purposes and its place in the dense forest of texts claiming attention. If our view of these matters differed radically from those of our distinguished predecessors, it is very unlikely that we would have been called, much less chosen, to assume the journal's direction. Still, there are li…
The Goldstone Report on the Gaza Conflict
By concluding that, in its assault on Gaza under the rubric of self-defense, Israel had targeted the civilian infrastructure and consciously “punished” the civilian population and demonstrated indifference to the suffering of noncombatants and engaged in other acts in violation of the laws of war, behaviors that possibly constituted in their totality crimes against humanity, the Goldstone Report became almost as controversial as the events precip…

The Two Faces of Terror
To know where we are, we have to see ourselves from a distance. Otherwise the remarkable becomes commonplace. I see the Military Commissions Act of 2006 from a temporal distance, specifically from the era of state-terror regimes in Latin America during which I served for eight years (1976 -1983) as a member of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, a principal arm of the Organization of American States (OAS). Those were the years in which…
Rumo a uma ordem legal internacional efetiva
Ao proibir o uso da força, exceto em caso de legítima defesa contra ataque armado ou quando há autorização do Conselho de Segurança, a Carta das Nações Unidas surge como o auge do desenvolvimento de um sistema de ordem internacional baseado na doutrina da soberania do Estado. O resultado cumulativo de leis, omissões e declarações relacionadas ao direito internacional - desde o início do Governo Bush - pode ser interpretado como um desafio fundame…
Roundtable
Tom Farer opens the roundtable by outlining a five-part test for legitimate humanitarian intervention and questioning the utility of the term 'cosmopolitan' in this context. Five responses are offered. Daniele Archibugi highlights the problem of legitimate authority for intervention and offers a separate four-stage process which he believes contributes to institutionalizing cosmopolitanism. Chris Brown questions the value of creating a set of cri…
Transnational Crime in the Americas
Toward an effective international legal order
In forbidding the use of force except in self‐defence against armed attack or when authorised by the Security Council, the UN Charter appears to be the culminating development of a system of international order based on the doctrine of state sovereignty. The cumulative result of international‐law‐related acts, omissions and declarations of the Bush administration since its inception can be construed as a fundamental challenge to the sovereign sta…
To Shape the Nation's Foreign Policy
Whatever its other effects, the Soviet-American Cold War helped launch and sustain an era of feverish intellectual activity in the linked fields of international relations theory and foreign policy analysis. Hot wars sometimes do the same, but only after they are over. For in the heat of bloody conflict, most intellectuals are sucked into public service and resources flow to support the immediate imperatives of war-making. The cold one, by contra…
Structurer la politique étrangère de la nation
La question des ressources alimentaires disponibles pour les plus pauvres semblait avoir trouve une reponse grâce a la hausse sans precedent des rendements agricoles. Mais les emeutes de la faim de 2009 et le rachat de terres par certains pays temoignent que des regions du monde ont peur pour leur approvisionnement a long terme
The Prospect for International Law and Order in the Wake of Iraq
International lawyers should help our political leaders, die media, and the electorate appreciate more adequately the implications for international law and order of the United States-led invasion of Iraq and its nearest precedent, the Kosovo intervention. At this point, mid-2003, those implications remain unclear

Shaping Agendas in Civil Wars
The universalisation of human rights has built a normative order to protect the weak from submission, expulsion or extermination within a country. Enforcement as a vehicle to affect the behaviour of delinquent forces, however, is a far more demanding task. Over a decade states, organisations and coalitions have been threatening or employing military and economic sanctions against brutal governments and factions. This study examines another enforc…

Panama
In the fall of 1867, a powerful British expeditionary force, dispatched from India under the command of Field-Marshall Lord Napier and conveyed by over 250 ships, began deploying on the Red Sea coast of Africa. Its mission: rescue two British emissaries and their several assistants who, together with a brace of other Europeans, had been imprisoned by the volatile Ethiopian Emperor Theodore
War Clouds on the Horn of Africa
The United States and the Third World
THE United States has passed in the last decade from the United Nation's most influential state into position of accelerating isolation as it confronts very large proportion of the member states over long agenda of contemporary issues. This is truly novel development, one which threatens to poison international relations at time that shrieks with the need for uniquely broad essays in interna tional cooperation. Three issues shape what may be call…
Collectively Defending Democracy in a World of Sovereign States
The collapse and disappearance of the Soviet Union ended a half century of world history dominated by the East-West conflict. This seismic shift in the structure of world politics coincides with a remarkably broad validation of free elections, democratic politics, and market economies. The hurtling trend toward freedom is no less powerful in Latin America than in Eastern Europe. Ten years ago Latin political scientists, writing in the shadows cas…
Human Rights in Law’s Empire
Our intramural, often scholarly, but not always polite, debates about the legitimacy of invasions directed against more-or-less brutal authoritarian governments demonstrate how one’s preferred conception of the nature of law can affect one’s conclusions about its contents. The celebrants of what I will call the classical view display the following characteristics: while recognizing that states can establish and alter norms through both explicit a…

The United States and Human Rights in Latin America
As the Reagan era draws to a close, the human rights movement in the United States finds itself in a paradoxical condition. On the one hand, it has defied prophesies of transience, proving by the multiplication of its institutional expressions, and by their enhanced resources and respectability, that it was not a lateflaring ember of the moral excitement sparked by the Vietnam War. But with this increased strength has come a growing uncertainty a…

Israel's Unlawful Occupation
Elections, Democracy, and Human Rights
Early in the administration of PresidentJimmy Carter, Secretary of State Cyrus Vance described its human rights policy as seeking progress with respect to three categories of rights: those associated with personal security (for example, freedom from torture and summary execution and effective guarantees of due process); political rights (for example, freedom to form interest groups and to participate in fair elections); and economic and social ri…
The United States as Guarantor of Democracy in the Caribbean Basin
Article 21 of Universal Declaration of Human Rights affirms not only that everyone has right to take part in government of his country, directly or through freely chosen representatives, but also that the will of people shall be basis of authority of government (and that will) shall be expressed in periodic and genuine elections ... .' It thus implies, in strongest possible terms, that democracy is basis of legitimacy. When it had no human rights…
Drawing the Right Line
As a recurring feature of the Cold War that has dominated international relations for the past four decades, foreign intervention in civil armed conflicts has focused and inflamed scholarly debate over the content of the relevant legal restraints. Conflict has raged particularly around the following issues: First, what forms and degree of assistance to rebels constitute an armed attack within the meaning of Article 51 of the Charter authorizing i…

Remarks by Tom J. Farer
I take great pleasure in welcoming you to the Society’s Annual Dinner. The fact that we are all here tonight is a kind of collective rejection of the view a cynical friend of mine suggested the other day: that the practice of international law is analogous to rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic
International Law and Political Behavior
Most international lawyers are committed to the belief that law, rather than being a mere fig leaf for the raw thrust of national power, is an independent variable exerting, in Tony D'Amato's apt phrase, a certain pressure on national decision-makers. This fraternal consensus fractures, however, as soon as discussion turns to the questions, what is die exact nature of the phenomenon generally called law which influences decision, and how or why d…

Human Rights and Human Wrongs
Through the people it honors, a nation declares its ideal conception of itself. We come together today to honor Eleanor Roosevelt. Death, with all its amnesiac force, has lifted her into the pantheon of great Americans. So no discord attends this event, at least not openly. But if she were still among us, even the deaf would hear the clamor of furious battle. Within our country we wage unrelenting ideological war, a war reminiscent of the early d…
