The Conundrum of the Essential Security Exception: Can the WTO Resolve the GATT Article XXI Crisis and Save the Dispute Settlement Mechanism?
No full textThe continued blocking of Appellate Body members to the World Trade Organization’s dispute settlement mechanism has thrown the multilateral trading system’s most important governing body into an existential crisis. As a precondition for resuming the WTO’s dispute settlement functions, the United States has insisted that WTO Members agree that the “essential security exception” under Article XXI(b) of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade of 1994 is wholly self- judging and thus nonjusticiable. This article argues that the U.S. position is unsupported by the text, context, object and purpose, and negotiating history of Article XXI. Moreover, the U.S. position poses dangerous consequences to the future relevance and legitimacy of the rules-based trading system. Continued insistence of Article XXI’s nonjusticiability by the United States would thus be misguided, and indeed risks only worsening the current crisis

Reconceiving Corporate Rights and Regulation in the AI Era
No full textCan existing corporate governance principles properly guide the relationship between shareholders and directors as artificial intelligence (“AI”) plays an increasingly prominent role in corporate management, planning, and operations? Without a doubt, AI technologies allow corporations to enjoy enhanced efficiency and innovation. But the vast range of AI capabilities—from sophisticated data analytics to autonomous decision-making—raises profound questions about whether traditional governance principles remain sufficiently robust to cabin the proper development and deployment of such a powerful and rapidly evolving set of new technologies. Current corporate governance structures that focus on human actors and traditional business decision-making mechanisms seem ill-suited to address some of the novel legal questions that increased reliance on AI poses, especially considering the opacity regarding how AI technologies actually function. Because the existing fiduciary framework for corporate governance remains insufficiently supple to accommodate AI’s transformative impact on corporate practices and strategy, there is a pressing need to reconsider basic corporate governance principles
