摘要:Most consumers are familiar with brand names like Apple, Nike, and H&M, but few have heard of the actual offshore multinational enterprises that make their products: Foxconn, Yue Yuen, TAL Apparel, and many others. This Article argues that these companies-whom I call Big Suppliers-represent a new crop of hidden corporate powers that have transformed the legal organization of global trade and production. In today's made in the world era, transnational suppliers, not brands, are the true quarter...

摘要:The principle of non-intervention, which prohibits states from coercively interfering in the domestic affairs of other states, is well -established in customary international law. Yet underneath the general support for the principle is substantial disagreement over its proper scope and application. The principle is subject to even greater challenge in a globalized world where the penetration of sovereignty is often taken as the goal of progressive development in areas of international human ri...

摘要:This Article is the first to present a normative framework that challenges the privatization of remedies established by corporations to resolve human rights violations which they contribute to or cause. The need to draw such normative borders responds to an unprecedented innovation of ordinary company complaint mechanisms to handle human rights grievances suffered by individuals and communities. This development traces back to the 2011 approval of the United Nations Guiding Principles on Busin...

摘要:In six decades of U.N. peacekeeping operations, the presence of U.N. military units in some of the planet's most unstable conflict zones has led to the births of tens of thousands of Peacekeeper Fathered Children (PKFC). Mothers of PKFC seeking acknowledgments of paternity or child support payments have been stonewalled by the United Nations; the organization has used its legal immunities to absolve itself of any responsibility to connect abandoned children with their peacekeeper fathers. This...

摘要:What role does legal scholarship play in the development of international law? How do states advance a preferred international legal position when the formal methods of creating or amending the law are unavailable? As global stagnation and great power competition increasingly preclude access to the formal methods of international lawmaking, those states that seek to drive international agendas to gain or maintain influence are pursuing novel methods to shape international law. This article ide...

摘要:China is one of the first governments to rein in virtual currencies while also working to consider how a central bank digital currency (CBDC) could advance its policy goals. This Note evaluates the impact of China's CBDC-the e-CNY-on the United States and on the international financial system by framing it within China's broader domestic policy initiatives. Although China certainly hopes to reduce reliance on the U.S.-dominated international financial infrastructure in the decades ahead, it is...

摘要:At the core of U.S. economic governance, there is a novel and under -noticed phenomenon that challenges longstanding frameworks of international law and corporate compliance. This practice, which this Article terms the new trade policing, has extraordinary reach. Recent regulatory makeovers and pathbreaking statutes empower our trade agencies to target, for the first time, companies, rather than foreign governments, as used to be their purview. Trade police now pursue companies wherever they m...
