FROM THE DEAN ith this issue of the Northwestern Law Reporter, we describe several of the Wgreat accomplishments of our com- munity members – students, faculty, and alumni. To be sure, this Reporter is not an encyclopedia. For a comprehensive depiction of the vital contri- butions and activities of Northwestern Law, you would do well to cast your gaze widely. Mainstream and social media (including my blog, Word on the Streeterville, and the various Twitter feeds highlighting Northwestern Law initiatives) paint a fuller picture. Two themes emerge from a close reading of this issue: One is the extra- ordinary global reach of our faculty and students. The globalization of legal practice and the justice imperatives across the developing world call upon creative energy and institutional commitment. You will see in the pages that follow myriad examples of Northwestern Law community members hard at work at significant educational and public service ventures around the world. As we continue to develop our strategic plan, and craft specific steps to implement its bold objectives, you can be assured that the global reach and impact of our law school will grow and take a richer shape. Another theme is reflected in the fun artwork on the cover and the sto- ries within, and that is the great programs and initiatives involving law and entrepreneurship. Our students are inventors and creators, visionaries and risk-takers. Built into the culture of our innovative Law School is a distinctly entrepreneurial spirit. With established and new programs in the entrepre- neurial space, we are leveraging the assets of our gifted, diverse, experi- enced students and also the ingenuity of our talented faculty to map out a distinctive place in the world of top law schools. Our curriculum, projects, and institutional culture will reinforce this identity – indeed, it will become a clear aspect of the Northwestern Law Difference. Communication with our alumni and friends will continue to take many forms. This Reporter is one contribution to this engagement. But com- munication is, of course, a two-way street. I look forward to hearing your input and advice. Please reach out whenever and however you wish. Northwestern Law School is moving ahead with vigor and vision. And I am ever grateful for your support. Daniel B.

Signature: Date: [^ // 2 A b s tra c t The thesis explores whether and how democratic and autocratic political institutions affect the welfare of people in developing countries. First, we empirically investi­ gate whether democracy improves people’s health, by using time-series country-level aggregate statistics. We find that there is a robust cross-sectional correlation be­ tween democracy and life expectancy at birth. Country fixed effects estimation, on the other hand, does not yield a statistically significant correlation between the two.

    Annual Report

    ANNUAL REPORT 2016-2017 NATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION, INDIA Chairperson NHRC F o r e w o r d The National Human Rights Commission is pleased to present to the Parliament and people of India, its twenty-fourth Annual Report for the period from 01 April 2016 to 31 March 2017. 2. The National Human Rights Commission has completed 24 years of its pioneering work in the promotion and protection of human rights since its establishment on 12 October 1993 under the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993. Since then, the Commission has consistently worked towards bringing a human rights-centered approach in the Government at Central and State levels, as well as towards creating human rights awareness and sensitization amongst public authorities and civil society. Through the years, the Commission has channelized its efforts towards broadening the ambit of human rights to ensure the protection of the civil and political rights of the people as well as safeguard their economic, social, and cultural rights. 3. In a society as diverse as ours, the indivisibility and inter-connectedness of human rights, whether civil and political or economic, social and cultural, is self-evident, especially in respect of the most vulnerable, including people belonging to Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Women, Children, Disabled and other vulnerable groups. The deprivation, problems and concerns that confront each of these groups, remained an important area of concern for the Commission during the period under review. 4. Accordingly, during 2016-2017, the Commission continued to intervene in matters concerning civil and political rights, on the basis of suo motu cognizance of media reports as well as complaints received.

    International Court of Justice (ICJ)

    International Court of Justice (ICJ) drishtiias.com/printpdf/international-court-of-justice-icj About ICJ was established in 1945 by the United Nations charter and started working in April 1946. It is the principal judicial organ of the United Nations, situated at the Peace Palace in The Hague (Netherlands). Unlike the six principal organs of the United Nations, it is the only one not located in New York (USA). It settles legal disputes between States and gives advisory opinions in accordance with international law, on legal questions referred to it by authorized United Nations organs and specialized agencies. It has 193 state parties and current President is Ronny Abraham. Background Article 33 of the United Nations Charter lists the negotiation, enquiry, mediation etc. methods for the pacific settlement of disputes between States. Some of these methods involve the services of third parties. Historically, mediation and arbitration preceded judicial settlement. The former was known in ancient India and the Islamic world, whilst numerous examples of the latter can be found in ancient Greece, in China, among the Arabian tribes, in maritime customary law in medieval Europe, and in Papal practice. The modern history of international arbitration: The first phase is generally recognized as dating back from the so-called Jay Treaty of 1794 between the United States of America and Great Britain. The Alabama Claims arbitration in 1872 between the United Kingdom and the United States marked the start of a second, even more decisive, phase. The Hague Peace Conference of 1899, convened on the initiative of the Russian Czar Nicholas II, marked the beginning of a third phase in the modern history of international arbitration.

Northwestern University Law Review Vol. 107, No. 3 Articles CONTESTED SHORE: PROPERTY RIGHTS IN RECLAIMED LAND AND THE BATTLE FOR STREETERVILLE Joseph D. Kearney & Thomas W. Merrill ABSTRACT-Land reclaimed from navigable waters is a resource uniquely susceptible to conflict. The multiple reasons for this include traditional hostility to interference with navigable waterways and the weakness of rights in submerged land. In Illinois, title to land reclaimed from Lake Michigan was further clouded by a shift in judicial understanding in the late nineteenth century about who owned the submerged land, starting with an assumption of private ownership but eventually embracing state ownership. The potential for such legal uncertainty to produce conflict is vividly illustrated by the history of the area of Chicago known as Streeterville, the area of reclaimed land along Lake Michigan north of the Chicago River and east of Michigan Avenue.
