25 Jun Court Guts SB 1070 (Immigration Still Part of Foreign Relations)
As predicted here, the Supreme Court delivered a split decision today in the Arizona immigration case. But to the extent that it’s a partial victory for supporters of SB 1070, it’s only a nominal one. Justice Kennedy’s majority opinion broadly validates federal power over immigration, leaving a very confined space for state activity. Kennedy’s opinion situates immigration law as part of foreign relations. [The federal power over immigration] rests, in part, on the National Government’s constitutional power to “establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization,” U. S. Const., Art....22 Jan The Haunting “I Cannot Recall (Ballad of Manus Island)”

I’ve been meaning to blog about the 33-year sentence that Pakistan recently imposed on Shakil Afridi, the doctor who secretly worked with the CIA to locate bin Laden. The United States is predictably up in arms over the sentence, with Leon Panetta recently claiming that “[i]t is so difficult to understand and it’s so disturbing that they would sentence this doctor to 33 years for helping in the search for the most notorious terrorist in our times… This doctor was not working against Pakistan, he was working against...08 Feb Global Convergence in Settlements (the Class Action Kind!)

Okay, not Saif Gaddafi. Saadi: Niger’s President Mahamadou Issofou has said his government is ready to hand Saadi Qaddafi over to the International Criminal Court should the body request it to do so. To date, the ICC has not issued a warrant for Saadi’s arrest, and will not request his extradition unless that position changes. On 7 November, however, the ICC’s Chief Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda revealed that the court was investigating crimes allegedly committed by both Qaddafi regime members and revolutionaries during last year’s revolution, and may bring...27 Feb Whale Wars, Round II! U.S. Court of Appeals Issues Preliminary Injunction Against Sea Shepherd “Pirates”
...fleshed out. US v. Dire, 680 F.3d 446, 463 (4th Cir. 2012). In Dire, the 4th Circuit discussed extensively In re Piracy Jure Gentium, [1934] A.C. 586, where the Privy Council held that robbery is not an essential element of piracy. Along the way, the Privy Council cited approvingly language from other European sources stating that "private ends" required for piracy does not necessarily mean for "private gain," but could include sailing for "vengeance or for anarchistic or other ends." The 4th Circuit analyzed and essentially followed Piracy Jure Gentium,...13 Sep Quick Bleg About the Security Council

...UDI. It's latest Article 12(3) declaration reserved its right with respect to retroactivity in connection with other crimes committed on its territory. So it certainly has laid the necessary ground work for its own request under Article 119 on the validity of its disputed Article 12(3) declaration. The General Assembly explicitly acknowledged the role played by the PLO Executive Committee acting as the Provisional Government of the State of Palestine since November of 1988 in its November 2012 resolution on the status of Palestine in the United Nations.

...has arrogated itself the responsibility to judge the process of the peace talks.There have been accusations that although atrocities have also been committed by the UPDF, the ICC is going to investigate only the LRA. Based on the field work we have done, there are those who want Kony forgiven. There are those who say that justice is when all the people who are in the LRA are brought to justice irrespective of whether they are at the top or not. They make reservations for the children who were abducted...
