Differing from “Us” in Religion, Customs, and Laws: The Philippines, Labor Migration, and United States Empire
Monthey, Tanya
Many industries in the United States have historically relied upon and continue to recruit and exploit workers from the Philippines. This trend reflects the supply and demand structures of labor migration first established when the Philippines was a colonial holding of the United States. The development of the Philippine economy cannot be divorced from its colonial relationship with the United States. Even after formal Philippine independence, the United States controlled the government and economy of the islands. By examining the colonial relationship between the United States and the Philippines, this Comment attempts to explain why political action, popular support, and global sympathies have failed to result in meaningful legal protections for Filipino laborers. Despite widespread and ongoing political action, Filipino laborers continue to be among the most exploited in the international labor market, a fact that is made glaringly obvious in the insecure times of a global pandemic.

Truth and Reconciliation: Restorative Justice, Accountability, and Cultural Violence
Miller, Kimbirlee E. Sommer
Hundreds of thousands of Indigenous North American children were forcibly removed from their homes and held in large residential boarding schools to force tribal assimilation into White culture. Laws like the Indian Civilization Act Fund of 1819 in the United States compelled attendance for Native children, some as young as four years old, at year-round institutions far away from their homes and families. The children were systematically stripped of their culture and identities, forbidden to celebrate their own heritage, and prohibited from speaking their own Native languages. At many of these institutions, children were subjected to horrific abuse.
This Comment will focus on atrocities committed at residential schools for Native American children in Canada and the United States, the efficacy of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC) in addressing these atrocities, and whether this model would be effective in the United States.

Politico-Legal Inter-State Disputes: Should the United Nations International Law Commission Be Requested to Commence Studies on the “Opportunities for Holistic Dispute Settlement?”
Chigara, Benedict Abrahamson
This Article recommends a review of the jurisdictional provision of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to ensure internal logical coherency of the assumptions that underpin the jurisdictional mandate of the ICJ. The benefits would include the enhancement of clarity and logic both in the ICJ statutory provisions and in the practice of the court. They would ensure certainty between the literal and textual clarity of the Statute of the International Court of Justice and the actual practice of the ICJ. Article 38 of the Statute of the International Court of Justice is widely regarded as the basis for international law generally.
