DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe drug war in Mexico has caused some U.S. analysts to view Mexico as a failed or failing state. While these fears are exaggerated, the problems of widespread crime and violence, government corruption, and inadequate access to justice pose grave challenges for the Mexican state. The Obama administration has therefore affirmed its commitment to assist Mexico through continued bilateral collaboration, funding for judicial and security sector reform, and building "resilient communities."David A. Shirk analyzes the drug war in Mexico, explores Mexico's capacities and limitations, examines the factors that have undermined effective state performance, assesses the prospects for U.S. support to strengthen critical state institutions, and offers recommendations for reducing the potential of state failure. He argues that the United States should help Mexico address its pressing crime and corruption problems by going beyond traditional programs to strengthen the country's judicial and security sector capacity and help it build stronger political institutions, a more robust economy, and a thriving civil society.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis fully updated second edition of Jurisdiction in International Law examines the international law of jurisdiction, focusing on the areas of law where jurisdiction is most contentious: criminal, antitrust, securities, discovery, and international humanitarian and human rights law. Since F.A. Mann's work in the 1980s, no analytical overview has been attempted of this crucial topic in international law: prescribing the admissible geographical reach of a State's laws. This new edition includes new material on personal jurisdiction in the U.S., extraterritorial applications of human rights treaties, discussions on cyberspace, the Morrison case. Jurisdiction in International Law has been updated covering developments in sanction and tax laws, and includes further exploration on transnational tort litigation and universal civil jurisdiction. The need for such an overview has grown more pressing in recent years as the traditional framework of the law of jurisdiction, grounded in the principles of sovereignty and territoriality, has been undermined by piecemeal developments. Antitrust jurisdiction is heading in new directions, influenced by law and economics approaches; new EC rules are reshaping jurisdiction in securities law; the U.S. is arguably overreaching in the field of corporate governance law; and the universality principle has gained ground in European criminal law and U.S. tort law. Such developments have given rise to conflicts over competency that struggle to be resolved within traditional jurisdiction theory. This study proposes an innovative approach that departs from the classical solutions and advocates a general principle of international subsidiary jurisdiction. Under the new proposed rule, States would be entitled, and at times even obliged, to exercise subsidiary jurisdiction over internationally relevant situations in the interest of the international community if the State having primary jurisdiction fails to assume its responsibility.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from On Foreign Jurisdiction and the Extradition of Criminals It is unnecessary to enter upon a formal enumeration of the causes which give rise to intercourse between the citizens of different States, and 'which induce them to establish relations of interest or friendship, more or less permanent, with one another. The variety in the pro ducts, natural and artificial, of different countries, and the consequent operations of trade; the desire of information and amusement the connexions of literature and science, and other cognate motives, prevent the legal isolation of nations from bearing all its practical fruits, and break down the barriers which the doctrine of political sove reignty might, if literally interpreted, establish between independent communities. From the early time when the Latin word hostis sigl nified both an alien and an enemy, there has been a con stant tendency, in the progress of civilization, to soften the distinction between natives and foreigners, to mitigate the harsh consequences flowing from the strict doctrine of exclusive territorial sovereignty, to treat with respect the interests, the institutions, and the customs of foreign States, and. To consider aliens as sharing, for practical purposes, in the attributes of a common humanity. All the principal civilized States are reciprocally bound by treaty engagements, regulating many important interests of their subjects; and they all agree in the theoretical re cognition of a body of rules of international law, laid down by modern text-writers of authority, to which they show a considerable, though irregular, deference, in their practical conduct.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKProsecution of serious crimes of international concern has been few and far between before and even after the establishment of the International Criminal Court in 2002. Hope thus rests with the implementation of the international legal obligation for States to either extradite or prosecute such perpetrators among themselves or surrender them to a competent international criminal court. This obligation was considered by the United Nations International Law Commission (ILC) which submitted its final report in 2014. Kittichaisaree, Chairman of the ILC Working Group on that topic, not only provides a guide to the final report, offering an analysis of the subject and a unique summary of its drafting history, he also covers important issues left unanswered by the report, including the customary international legal status of the obligation, the role of the universal jurisdiction, immunities of State officials, and impediments to the surrender of offenders to international criminal courts. Authoritative, encyclopaedic, and essential to those in the field, The Obligation to Extradite or Prosecute also offers practical solutions as to the road ahead.
