Such is the case for crimes against humanity, a crime that did not exist in positive international law until the 1945-46 legal proceedings in Nuremberg. But the historiography of the First World War — an era where punishment for war crimes is generally viewed as a wholesale failure — provides an additional, indeed novel, basis for understanding the Tribunal’s 1946 convictions for crimes against humanity as legitimate and not marred by accusations of victors’ jus tice. In particular, the 1915 declaration issued by the Allied powers in response to the Armenian genocide and the 1919 peace process, including the post-war report on war crimes, reveal that the convictions in Nuremberg for crimes against humanity were not the hollow farce that some suggest they were. Although the manner in which war crimes were dealt with following World War I is most commonly viewed as a failed effort, “crimes against humanity” was first coined as a term in","PeriodicalId":340850,"journal":{"name":"Pace International Law Review","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122027160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While most countries participate in the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (“CITES”), not all countries have the same approaches to combating the illegal wildlife trade. Unique approaches can be beneficial because each illegally traded species requires a different response, and countries with limited resources can also participate. However, the lack of a unified response hinders the global fight against the illegal wildlife trade. While traditional methods to combat crime, such as passing laws, are an excellent place to start, they are meaningless without effective enforcement and prosecution. Due to the complexity of the illegal wildlife trade, the lack of understanding severely hinders the ability to effectively combat it. This comment begins with reasons why the illegal wildlife trade is critical to confront. This comment continues with illustrating what CITES is, CITES’s shortcomings, and other international organizations that aid in the fight against illegal wildlife trade.

However, most analysts would probably agree that the many SDT provisions have been more aspirational than operational. Hence, there is little surprise that even a selective review of the WTO jurisprudence would demonstrate that the SDT provisions have, in most cases, not done enough for their intended beneficiaries. This paper will analyze the limitations of the SDT provisions with reference to the relevant WTO jurisprudence. It will seek to explore two potential avenues of endeavoring to make the SDT provisions engender more tangible outcomes for their intended beneficiaries.

This shift has overshadowed many of the other controversies in the international sphere. It has also highlighted the tensions that often exist in international affairs—especially in understanding the place and purpose of international institutions, vis-à-vis states, in the general schema of public international law. Central to the international response to the current pandemic is the World Health Organization (WHO)—a treaty-based organization charged with the overarching mandate of ensuring “the highest possible level of health” for all peoples.1 Interestingly, the WHO has also become entangled in a foreign policy spat between China and the United States of America.
