  • between universalism and Regional Law and politics a comparative history of the american european and african human rights systems
    International Journal of Constitutional Law, 2018
    Co-Authors: Alexandra Huneeus, Mikael Rask Madsen
    Abstract:

    This article represents a first systematic attempt to compare the institutional histories of the Regional human rights systems in Europe, the Americas, and Africa. It argues that the three main Regional human rights systems have enacted common scripts that have produced relatively similar institutional models across the regions under scrutiny. This is not to deny, however, the enormous variation among the systems; nor is it to deny the role of local social and political contexts in shaping them. Rather, the analysis seeks precisely to identify both the common institutional scripts and the Regional particularities to render the general history of Regional human rights courts and commissions—a key component of the larger history of human rights that has been largely overlooked in current debates. We argue that the dynamics of the Cold War initially shaped the bounds within which actors in each region came to realize, re-shape, and re-signify common institutional scripts.

  • between universalism and Regional Law and politics a comparative history of the american european and african human rights systems
    Social Science Research Network, 2017
    Co-Authors: Alexandra Huneeus, Mikael Rask Madsen
    Abstract:

    Regional human rights have been heralded as one of the greatest innovations of international Law of the 20th century. And yet, the broader debate on the history of human rights has paid surprisingly little attention to Regional human rights systems, thereby missing some of the most salient strands of the larger history. This article represents a first systematic attempt to compare the institutional histories of the Regional human rights systems in Europe, the Americas and Africa. It reveals how the Regional rights systems’ evolution has been shaped in part by the same geopolitical dynamics, and how, in many ways, the systems have explicitly and implicitly worked in tandem, linked by common challenges, and notably by shared ideas and practices. Our story also uncovers that the paths of influence between the Regional rights systems are not, as is often assumed, simply unidirectional: while it is undoubtedly the case that the European human rights system became influential in its region earlier, the Latin American and African systems have also contributed to the making of the broader international human rights order.

  • Awareness of risks related to oral piercing in Italian piercers. Pilot study in Lazio Region
    'CIC Edizioni Internazionali', 2014
    Co-Authors: Vozza Iole, Fusco Francesca, Bove Ercole, Ripari Francesca, Corridore Denise, Ottolenghi Livia
    Abstract:

    Specific regulations about education and training for body piercing licensure courses have to be considered due to the great increase in oral piercing practices. The aim of the present survey was to assess the local and systemic risk awareness in the practice of oral piercing and their prevention in a sample of Italian piercers. An anonymous 20-item questionnaire was administered to 30 body licensed piercers in a small town of central Italy. Licenses certificates were issued by Lazio Region after the completion of an approved training program for standard body piercing including 90 hours of course and a final examination as provided by Regional Law. The questionnaire surveyed on oral cavity anatomy, local and systemic risks as result of oral piercing, piercing maintenance and need of a dental visit. Response rate was 66.6%. Only 20% of respondents was aware about oral cavity anatomy and none had knowledge about tongue and gums anatomy. Only 10% enlightened the need of a dental visit and 30% was aware about piercing-related temporary paralysis. The piercing maintenance was habitually proposed only by 40% of respondents. The study participants showed a low level of awareness regarding the potential health risks of oral piercing. Poor knowledge of anatomy and local and systemic risks and poor awareness of the importance of piercing maintenance explanation

  • Conflicts of Interest and Law-Firm Structure
    Case Western Reserve University School of Law Scholarly Commons, 2019
    Co-Authors: Robertson, Cassandra Burke
    Abstract:

    Business and Law are increasingly practiced on a transnational scale, and Law firms are adopting new business structures in order to compete on this global playing field. Over the last decade, global Law firms have merged into so-called “mega-brands” or “mega-firms”—that is, associations of national or Regional Law firms that join together under a single brand worldwide. For Law firms, the most common mega-firm structure has been the Swiss verein, though the English “Company Limited by Guarantee” structure is growing in popularity as well, as is the similar “European Economic Interest Grouping.” All of these structures allow related entities to affiliate under a single brand, yet retain a separate legal identity. Law firms such as Baker & Mackenzie, Norton Rose Fulbright, and Dentons have all adopted the verein structure for their global practice. Each has separate legal entities practicing at a Regional or national level (such as Dentons US LLP, or Norton Rose Fulbright Canada LLP), with the entities coming together under a single brand globally. As the mega-brand structure becomes more common, courts have struggled with how to treat imputed conflicts of interest. Is the verein (or similar entity) a single Law firm, such that a client representation by one of the verein members will automatically prohibit other verein members from representing a client with conflicting interests? Or does the separate legal status of each of the verein members mean that Norton Rose Fulbright Australia could represent a client adverse to Norton Rose Fulbright US LLP—potentially even in the same proceeding? This article examines mega-firm conflicts from a client-protection perspective. It analyzes the policy goals underlying traditional rules on conflict imputation, including the need to protect client confidences and loyalty. It considers how conflicts of interest have been resolved in the mirror situation— that is, when Law-firm clients are themselves global entities composed of related corporate entities—and analyzes how the conflict rules developed for related client entities could be adapted to fit global Law firm vereins. The article ultimately argues that an overly broad imputation of conflicts carries real risk to clients and potential clients by limiting their ability to secure counsel of their choice. An approach focused more tightly on protecting the underlying values of confidentiality and loyalty can ensure client protection while still allowing clients to reap the benefit of innovation in Law-firm business practices.
