Family Care
No full textThe foundation of this project was established against the backdrop of the global decline in birth rates, a recurring topic of discussion in today’s news landscape. In the course of my research, it became evident that nations worldwide are grappling with the enduring economic implications of this decline. Many countries are now actively offering incentives and heightened support to birthing individuals, seeking to address this issue. While the multifaceted societal consequences of this matter are intricate, there is a clear need for a solution that bolsters young families, particularly within the context of the United States, during the pivotal phase of integrating children into their households.
My objective is to create a tangible environment that caters to contemporary parents. This environment will provide access not only to essential healthcare services but also to “non-essential” amenities such as physical therapy, education, lactation support, and a childcare system that is not only more accessible but also family-centered. This endeavor aims to foster a holistic space that empowers modern parents to navigate the multifarious challenges they face while raising children
Dark Law on the South China Sea
Full text linkIn Democracies and International Law, Tom Ginsburg warns of an emerging post-liberal order influenced by powerful authoritarian regimes and new illiberal laws that repurpose global rights, undermine international courts, and expand executive power. Autocrats and kleptocrats embedded in the global economy increasingly appear to use international law to preserve their power, protect norms of non-intervention, and enhance the global stability of autocratic rule. Legalistic autocrats, for example, exploit judicial deference and vague statutory language in national security laws to circumvent checks on their authority. This process, which I call “dark law,” aids in the consolidation of state power and the global entrenchment of authoritarianism. In this Essay, I argue that dark law also contributes to the construction of authoritarian international law. Conflicts in the South China Sea illustrate how authoritarian regimes use law to pursue illiberal ends. By disregarding multilateral treaty obligations, resisting third-party adjudication, and repurposing national security laws, authoritarian states sabotage maritime norms and principles. International dark law makes global waterways more dangerous for sailors and fishing communities, undermines international cooperation on marine protection, and threatens maritime accountability and ocean governance. Future protection of oceans and seas depends on state compliance with international law and the effectiveness of multilateral enforcement
