Berkeley Law professor and Borderlines guest host Elena Chachko brings her foreign relations and administrative law background to guide this fascinating interview.

 

In the more than two centuries since the U.S. Constitution was adopted, the constitutional law that governs how the United States interacts with the rest of the world has evolved significantly. This evolution did not come about through formal amendments to the text of the Constitution or even through U.S. Supreme Court rulings. Instead, it came about primarily through the actions and interactions of Congress and the executive branch, as they responded to the changing nature of both the United States and the world environment.

 

Listeners will learn how and why the law governing the separation of powers, covering topics such as the making of “executive agreements,” the termination of treaties, and the waging of war, has been developed over time through historic governmental practices, rather than through judicial decisions or constitutional redrafting.

 

In his 1952 concurrence in the Youngstown steel seizure case, Justice Felix Frankfurter invoked the term “the gloss of history” to describe this phenomenon. Professor Bradley’s pioneering research illuminates the role of historical practice, or gloss, to justify both expansions of, and limitations on, presidential and legislative power relating to foreign affairs. The conversation brings fresh insights about the role of courts, the U.S. legal system’s relationship with international law, and “undeclared” U.S. military conflicts such as the Korean War and the “war on terrorism.”

Fletcher (Berkeley), in conversation with Professor of Practice Gabor Rona (Cardozo) on the Israel/Hamas conflict from an international law perspective. Fresh off of speaking at Berkeley Law on 22 February 2024 as part of a Bay Area campus lecture series on the crisis, Professor Rona sat down with Professor Fletcher to discuss the relevant frameworks of international law and its institutions, including the UN Charter and the Geneva Convention on Genocide, as well as current cases before the International Court of Justice regarding Israel/Palestine. Listeners will learn how the laws of armed conflict and international humanitarian law are invoked, how historically pressure is brought to bear on governments from international organizations and actors, and why the Red Cross/Red Crescent has been prevented from aiding both Israeli hostages and Palestinian civilians in Gaza despite human suffering. Students in particular will take away powerful lessons about the need to combat misinformation and to seek “justice for an eye” in their pursuit of peaceful solutions to war and violence.

 

Professor Rona has worked in armed conflict settings for the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), the UN Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), and as International Legal Director at Human Rights First. He now teaches various international law subjects at both Cardozo and Columbia Law Schools. Professor Fletcher is the International Human Rights Law Clinic Co-Director and the Faculty Co-Director of the Miller Institute for Global Challenges and the Law at Berkeley Law.

Berkeley Law Professor Elena Chachko joins Professor Luis M. Hinojosa-Martínez and Professor Carmela Pérez-Bernárdez from the Department of Public International Law and International Relations at the University of Granada, Spain, for a frank look at international sanctions as a legal tool used by self-governing states via bodies like the UN Security Council, European Union, and the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).

 

Listeners will come away understanding sanctions, and their intended goal to pressure change from countries – as well as individuals, companies, or organizations – causing violent wars, implementing harmful policies, or disregarding international laws. In the 21st century, recommendations have shifted toward restrictive measures, or so-called “smart sanctions,” targeting regimes rather than people. Discussion covers current and historic implementations of sanctions with an incisive review of successes and critiques.

Hinojosa-Martínez and Carmela Pérez-Bernárdez (eds.), Edward Elgar, 2023 (Part III.A includes chapters dealing with “sanctions and the rule of law”); and “A Watershed Moment for Sanctions?

Elected an ICC judge in 2015 and voted president by his peers in 2021, President Hofmański guides listeners through the Court’s key responsibilities under the Rome Statute: prosecuting genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity and the crime of aggression; giving victims a voice and just restitution; and preventing future atrocities.

 

The conversation elucidates the relationship of the ICC to the United Nations and to national jurisdictions as a court of last resort. Challenges, successes, and criticisms are addressed, from the Court’s indictment of more than 50 individuals including heads of state, to the changing signatory and ratification positions of the United States, to ways technological developments impact evidence gathering and witness participation. Addressing the vital importance of fighting impunity, President Hofmański’s confidence in the collective power of international criminal law provides a path of optimism during troubled times and ongoing lethal territorial conflicts.

The podcast builds upon ideas raised at the 2022 Irvine Tragen Lecture on Comparative Law at UC Berkeley School of Law.


Intisar A. Rabb is a Professor of Law & History and the faculty director of the Program in Islamic Law at Harvard Law School. She has published widely on Islamic law in historical and modern contexts, including the book Doubt in Islamic Law (Cambridge University Press 2015) and numerous articles on Islamic constitutionalism, legal canons, and the history of the Qur'an text. She has conducted research in Egypt, Iran, Syria, and elsewhere. In 2015, Professor Rabb and co-partners launched SHARIAsource – an online portal designed to provide universal access to Islamic law and history resources and galvanize research using AI tools.


In Episode Eight of Borderlines, listeners will learn about the history and resurgent use of legal canons – principles of interpretation that judges derive from common law and use when resolving issues unclear from the text alone – including their ancient role in Islamic law and modern application at the U.S. Supreme Court. Shared similar legal canons threading across systems with like linguistic features, known as metacanons, are broken down. Dialogue covers how statutory interpretation connects to civil and criminal legal systems, the dubious term “civilized nations” in international law, and battling stereotypes of Islamic law with new scholarly resources and coded data.

A handful of publicly debated agreements - the Paris Climate Accords, the Iran Nuclear Deal or the Global Tax treaty – were made non-binding precisely to avoid a vote in Congress. Chicago Professor Curt Bradley, Harvard Professor Jack Goldsmith and Yale Professor Oona Hathaway sued the departments of State, Defense, and Homeland Security to find out what else the executive branch, and its many agencies, have negotiated. In comprehensive empirical work, they explain why greater transparency and accountability is needed not only for binding executive agreements, but also for non-bindings. For example, Congress does not know what exactly the Trump administration agreed with the governments of Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador in agreements that likely dump responsibility for refugees on weak states.


Non-binding agreements are on the rise globally, and greatly influence how states act. We should reorient international law scholarship and teaching to pay greater attention to this under-explored tool.

Will the new global minimum tax agreement change this? Duke Professor Rachel Brewster explains how corporate families are structured to take advantage of different countries’ laws; Chicago professor Adam Chilton empirically explores the regulation of supply chains; while Berkeley Professor Stavros Gadinis explains why progressives and conservatives alike call for sustainability in corporate governance.


In this episode of Borderlines, we discuss successful global coordination efforts, such as the spread of anti-corruption efforts from the US to the world, as well as harmonization in accounting standards. But we also debate the major costs of a global economy structured around the free flow of capital, and regulation that ends at the national border.

Why? Debating how best to share responsibilities for refugees, UCLA professor Tendayi Achiume argues that empires owe special duties to former colonies; Temple Professor Jaya Ramji-Nogales explains the special rules following the US occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan; while Berkeley professor Seth Davis contrasts how different US states, notably Texas and California, respond.

 

We discussed Title 42 – a controversial public health tool used to close the Southern border, and discussed how climate change calls for a new response to mass migration, as a new White House report emphasizes. We also compared regional solutions, including solutions that can be fairly called responsibility sharing, and others that resemble responsibility dumping.

 

For more details, stay tuned for a special spring 2022 symposium issue of the California Law Review featuring many perspectives on refugee responsibility sharing.
