relevance and fairness protecting the rights of domestic violence victims and left behind fathers under the Hague Convention on international child abduction
Duke Law Journal, 2011Co-Authors: Noah L BrowneAbstract:Thirty years ago, the international community took a hard line against international parental kidnapping. The Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction allows parental child abduction only in rare circumstances, such as when returning the child would create a “grave risk” of harm. Recently, mothers who have abducted their children when fleeing domestic violence have successfully pled this grave-risk exception, demonstrating the Convention’s relevance to the realities of domestic violence. This Note welcomes that development, but argues that the rights of left-behind parents, who increasingly are fathers, must also be taken into account. Left-behind fathers, whether guilty of domestic violence or not, face significant challenges litigating their cases in the United States, and an overbroad interpretation of the grave-risk exception would only heighten these challenges. To remain fair, the Convention can—and must—consider the rights and realities of left-behind fathers. Copyright © 2011 by Noah L.

punitive damages revisited taking the rationale for non recognition of foreign judgments too far
2008Co-Authors: Ronald A BrandAbstract:Punitive damages have been a controversial aspect of U.S. law; often criticized both at home and abroad. Neither U.S. law on punitive damages nor the foreign climate regarding their reception has remained static. This article notes the continuing legislative attack on punitive damages in the United States at both the state and federal level, and focuses on recent developments in case law and treaty negotiations concerning the reception of punitive damages abroad.The article begins with a brief review of the background against which current punitive damages law in the United States continues to operate, followed by consideration of the continuing evolution of U.S. Supreme Court jurisprudence on punitive damages. The Beals case in the Supreme Court of Canada and new uniform Canadian legislation on the enforcement of foreign judgments demonstrate two very different approaches to U.S. punitive damages by foreign courts. The issue is also the focus of Article 11 of the new Hague Convention on Choice of Court Agreements, which offers a much more moderate approach than the Canadian uniform act, which, if widely adopted, would constitute a major step back in terms of predictability in business and judicial relationships.

La libre circulación de resoluciones judiciales en la UE en el caso de la sustracción internacional de menores
'Universidad Autonoma de Chile', 2020Co-Authors: González Marimón MaríaAbstract:This article faces the present and future regulation of the recognition and enforcement of judicial resolutions in the matter of international child abduction in the European Union. Specific subject which motivated a singular -and privileged- regime of recognition and enforcement, different from the general regime in the matter of parental responsibility. Recently, the applicable instrument, the 2201/2003 Regulation (Brussels IIa Regulation), has suffered an important recast which has ended with the promulgation of a new Regulation, the 2019/1111 Regulation. Therefore, in this work we will deal with the complex interaction between the legal sources, both of EU sources and international Conventions, notably the 1980 Hague Convention, analysing not only the present regimen but also the abovementioned modifications. This analysis will allow us to conclude with some of the actual and future tendencies of the Private International Law third sector in the process of construction of a free area of freedom, security and justice in the EU

Heritage and cultural healing: Iraq in a post-Daesh era
'Informa UK Limited', 2020Co-Authors: Matthews Roger, Rasheed, Qais Hussein, Palmero Fernandez Monica, Fobbe Sean, Novacek Karel, Mohammed-amin Rozhen, Muhl Simone, Richardson AmyAbstract:Against the backdrop of the destruction of Iraqi heritage over the past quarter of a century, this article critically reviews key aspects of the current state of Iraq’s cultural heritage, including damage to heritage buildings caused by Daesh in Iraq’s second largest city, Mosul. We bring together Iraqi and non-Iraqi expertise in heritage, archaeology, and human rights law to frame our approach, building on the movement to link cultural diversity, heritage, and cultural rights. We emphasise the need for planning to enhance protection of Iraq’s heritage, in particular through preparation of inventories, the provision of resources for heritage education in schools and the development of Iraq’s museum sector. Iraq’s presence on the UNESCO World Heritage Lists needs to be enhanced and the issues of illicit site looting and traffic in looted antiquities must be addressed within international contexts. Iraq’s future accession as State Party to the 1999 Second Protocol to the 1954 Hague Convention is a priority in achieving these goals. The paper stresses the need for co-creation of heritage knowledge and a gender-sensitive human rights approach for the future of Iraq’s globally significant cultural heritage
