  • Lessons from Guantánamo Bay Introduction
    COMMENT Certification as Sabotage: Lessons from Guantánamo Bay introduction One of President Obama’s most public failures was his inability to close the prison at Guantánamo Bay. He had campaigned against the facility throughout the 2008 election,1 and on his second day in office signed an executive order or- dering the base closed within a year.2 But eight years later the prison remained defiantly open. A major reason for this failure was congressional opposition.3 While this op- position took different forms, one critical tool has received little attention: the certification requirements that governed the transfers of detainees from Guantá- namo to foreign countries. Beginning in late 2010, Congress demanded that, prior to a detainee transfer, the Secretary of Defense certify that the receiving country had taken the steps “necessary to ensure that the individual cannot en- gage or re-engage in any terrorist activity.”4 While the precise language of this certification changed over time, its effect was the same: Congress’s requirements 1.

  • John Paul Stevens and Equally Impartial Government
    John Paul Stevens and Equally Impartial Government Diane Marie Amann* Justice John Paul Stevens’s embrace of race-conscious measures to ensure continued diversity stands in tension with his early rejections of affirmative action programs. The contrast suggests a linear movement toward a progressive interpretation of the Constitution’s equality guarantee; however, examination of Stevens’s writings in biographical context reveal a more complex story. As a law clerk Stevens had urged that Justices declare segregation itself unconstitutional in 1948, six years before the Court took that step. The state’s refusal to admit a qualified applicant to law school solely on account of her race represented an individualized wrong, one that bore resonance with the Depression-era experiences of Stevens’s own family. Stevens would come to describe unequal treatment as a breach of the sovereign’s duty to govern impartially. But the Justice did not view race-based means to remedy prior discrimination in the same light. Only after he shifted attention away from the injustices of the past and toward expectations of a just future did Stevens adjudge affirmative action as a permissible means toward an equally impartial government. * Professor of Law and Director of the California International Law Center at King Hall, University of California, Davis, School of Law. A version of this Article was presented at a March 2009 symposium on The Honorable John Paul Stevens at the University of California, Davis, School of Law (Martin Luther King, Jr. Hall). My thanks to participants there and at workshops of the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law, and the San Francisco Jurisprudence Café, where aspects of this research were presented; to Emil Dixon for research assistance; to Senior Articles Editor Alisha Patterson for painstaking attention to this Article; and to persons who have talked with me, among them the Honorable John Paul Stevens, for whom I had the privilege of serving as a law clerk in October Term 1988, the Honorable Louis H.

COMMENTARY WHEN RESPONSIBILITIES COLLIDE: HUMANITARIAN INTERVENTION, SHARED WAR POWERS, AND THE RULE OF LAW Dawn Johnsen* ABSTRACT The use of military force to respond to a foreign humanitarian crisis raises profound legal questions, especially when force is not authorized by the U.S. Congress or the U.N. Security Council. President Clinton's use of air strikes in Kosovo, President Obama's use of air strikes in Libya, and his threat of force following Syrian President Assad's use of chemical weapons against the Syrian people all responded to powerful humanitarian needs-but serious questions about their legality remain. Drawing upon these case studies, Professor Harold Koh proposes a framework that would find some such interventions lawful, even without congressional or Security Council authorization-and even for periods that exceed the sixty-day limit Congress has imposed through the War Powers Resolution.
