Item Open Access The Doctrine of Appropriation and Asteroid Mining: Incentivizing the Private Exploration and Development of Outer Space(University of Oregon School of Law, 2016-05-03) Meyers, RossNew international legislation that allows for commercial claims over celestial bodies like asteroids is necessary to incentivize and regulate space exploration. Society has a strong interest in the exploration and development of space, especially in modern times when space and minerals are in short supply. In order to advance the development of space, the international community must change.Item Open Access Through the Grapevine: New Developments in the Protection of Geographical Indications in China(University of Oregon School of Law, 2016-05-03) Davison, Ashley L.China is one of the fastest growing markets for wine consumption, on track to move from the fifth to the second largest consumer of wine in the world in the next five years. While the per capita consumption in China pales in comparison to countries like France and the United States, the massive population of over 1.3 billion people means that even slight growth in per capita consumption translates to tremendous growth in overall consumption.Item Open Access Bleeding Mexico(University of Oregon School of Law, 2016-05-03) Baronich, TaylorSince 2006, Mexicans have endured widespread corruption, torture, and over 50,000 innocent civilian deaths due to the drug wars, while the perpetrators of these aggressions have received impunity. Mexicans have turned their frustration into outrage at the most recent kidnapping and murder of forty-three students from a rural teaching college in Ayotzinapa, Mexico. Even more troubling is Mexico’s handling of the legal case against the suspects.Item Open Access National Liberation Movements: Still a Valid Concept (with Special Reference to International Humanitarian Law)?(University of Oregon School of Law, 2016-05-03) Mastorodimos, KonstantinosNational liberation movements constitute a category of armed nonstate actors that appeared predominantly in the decolonization period and relate to peoples’ self-determination. Decolonization concerned territories that are “geographically separate and distinct ethnically and/or culturally from the state administering it” as well as the groups living in them.Item Open Access National Security Laws in India: The Unraveling of Constitutional Constraints(University of Oregon School of Law, 2016-05-03) Chopra, SurabhiIn this Article, significant security legislation in India and trace the ways in which it enhances the executive’s powers are examined. I argue that the usual constitutional limits on the executive—electoral democracy, legislative scrutiny, judicial review, and constitutional rights—have failed to restrain the executive’s power and actions under security laws.
