Editor's Note: The ILRA will periodically choose to publish "Student Working Papers" within the ILRA Forum. These papers are most often ILRA staff compositions that have not yet been selected for publication within one of our print journals, but may come from a variety of student sources. The works are presented here as a resource to ILRA Forum readers, other scholars, and international law practitioners. However, as these are working papers, they have not undergone any substantial editing by the staff prior to publication.
