Domino Effect: How Scalia Lives on Through the Controversial Texas Immigration Law and Which States are Itching to Pull the Trigger
This article examines Texas’s immigration enforcement law, SB 4, and the Supreme Court’s surprising ruling overturning the injunction which prohibited its enforcement. This article posits that SB 4 is by no means a “lone wolf,” but rather is the latest in a series of state laws which seek, quietly or boldly, to take immigration into the state’s hands
IIAAS and the Montreal Protocol: The Legal Minefield Inside the Most Successful Environmental Treaty in History
The most successful environmental treaty in history might break international law\u27s core principle, and it all depends on who you ask. International law consists of rules and principles relating to states, international organizations, and individuals. The source of all international law is the consent of nations, and each nation is governed by the treaties they consent to. Provisions that force states to behave according to its text and do not satisfy international law\u27s traditional consent standard are consequential. As no term exists for these provisions currently, these clauses have been termed as international imposed axiomatic alterations ( IIAA s). IIAAs, for this writing, are rules found within a treaty that compel states to act in a certain way despite that country not consenting to the rule. This Comment questions the legitimacy of what legal support these IIAAs hold
LaMont’s Wild West Buffalo, LLC v. Nathanial Terry, 140 Nev. Adv. Op. 11 (Mar. 7, 2024)

19. Yugoslavia: Death of A Nation -- Part VI: Pax Americana
The Death of Yugoslavia (Serbian, Montenegrin, Bosnian, Croatian and Slovenian: Smrt Jugoslavije, Macedonian: Смртта на Југославија, Smrtta na Jugoslavija), later retitled into Yugoslavia: Death of a Nation in an updated and revised edition, is a six part BBC documentary series first broadcast in 1995, and also the name of a book written by Allan Little and Laura Silber that accompanies the series. The book and film cover the collapse of the former Yugoslavia from three decades ago. Notable in its combination of never-before-seen archive footage interspersed with interviews of most of the main players in the conflict, including Slobodan Milošević, the leader of Serb nationalism, then President of Serbia, through the secession of Slovenia and Croatia, to the war in Bosnia. Film footage does not extend as far as the Kosovo crisis or the secession of Montenegro. —————— Part 6: Pax Americana Croatia launches operation Operation Storm and recaptures most of territory of self-proclaimed Republic of Serbian Krajina which leads to mass exodus of Serbian population from Croatia. Bosnian Serb forces commit Srebrenica and Markale massacres. In response, NATO launches Operation Deliberate Force and bombs positions of Bosnian Serb forces, which forces Bosnian Serbs to return to negotiations. US brokeres Dayton Agreement which effectively ends the Bosnian war. (abstract from Simon Gros\u27s Vimeo page
