Child labor, trade and investment: Toward the harmonization of international law
Article Abstract:
International trade law needs to be harmonized to promote trade and investment while protecting human rights and preventing child labor. Only the United States requires its nationals investing in foreign markets to meet human and labor rights standards, including prohibitions of extreme child labor forms. However, some of the remedies may be challenged under international law, indicating the need for a more global approach, especially since different regimes have different definitions and rules governing child labor.

"Indigenous peoples" in international law: a constructivist approach to the Asian controversy
Article Abstract:
"Indigenous peoples" has become a significant legal concept in the 1990s, and interpretations of the concept differ in Asian countries from Western countries. Asian critics contend Westerners are imposing Western values on Asian cultures by arguing for the rights of indigenous peoples. However, such rights need not be rigidly defined. The definition of "indigenous" and negotiations for rights can be a dynamic process that reflects unique circumstances.

Confronting difference: the puzzling durability of Gentili's combination of pragmatic pluralism and normative judgment
Article Abstract:
"De jure belli," a book written by a 16th-century legal scholar, Alberico Gentili, provides a philosophy of international law that, unfortunately, is followed in the 1990s. Gentili set out a practice in which the customs and laws of foreign countries are understood but the political imperatives of one's own country prevail. How to accommodate cultural and legal differences in international disputes remains a central question in international law.
