International Dispute Resolution: The Regulation of Forum Selection
In: International Law - Book Archive pre-2000
In: Sokol Colloquium 4
For situations where the forum selection clause can make all the difference, this book is invaluable. The text shows how parties can mitigate the effects of concurrent jurisdiction ex ante through the use of forum selection clauses in arbitration agreements, and also explains the role of provisional and protective measures in the regulation of forum selection and judicial doctrines that directly regulate "improper" forum selections. Published under the Transnational Publishers imprint

In the fifteen years since the Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) was enacted on September 18, 2001, the Taliban has been removed from power but not eliminated; Osama Bin Laden has been killed and the senior leaders of Al Qaeda as of 9/11 have been captured, killed, or driven underground, although Al Qaeda remains a threat; numerous Al Qaeda affiliates have sprung up around the globe, most notably in Iraq, Yemen, Syria, and Somalia; and most ominously, the Islamic State has arisen from the ashes of Al Qaeda in Iraq to become what the Director of National Intelligence has described as "the preeminent terrorist threat" against the United States "because of its self-described caliphate in Syria and Iraq, its branches and emerging branches in other countries, and its increasing ability to direct and inspire attacks against a wide range of targets around the world."Despite massive changes in the geographical scope of the conflict that began on 9/11, the strategy and tactics employed, and the identity of the enemy, the AUMF remains the principal legal foundation under U.S. domestic law for the president to use force against and detain members of terrorist organizations. The AUMF is already the longest operative congressional authorization of military force in U.S. history, and, as of fall 2016, there was no immediate prospect that Congress would move to repeal or update it. With the continued vibrancy of Al Qaeda, its associates, and the Taliban, and with the 2014 presidential extension of the AUMF to cover military operations against the Islamic State, the AUMF is likely to be the primary legal basis for American uses of force for the foreseeable future.

The Abiding Relevance of Federalism to U.S. Foreign Relations
In: American journal of international law: AJIL, Band 92, Heft 4, S. 675-679
ISSN: 2161-7953
The international law community has heavily criticized the United States' handling of the Breard case. These criticisms are understandable. Perhaps because of the rush of time, the explanations by the Department of Justice and the Supreme Court for failing to stop Breard's execution brushed over important issues of domestic and international law. In addition, Virginia's decision to proceed with the execution, and the federal Government's decision not to block it, may have reflected insufficient respect for international law and institutions. These decisions may also adversely affect U.S. relations with other nations and weaken consular protection of U.S. citizens abroad. These criticisms, however, tell only part of the story. In particular, they do not consider countervailing considerations grounded in the Constitution's allocation of authority between the federal and state governments.
