Wednesday, September 14, 2005 http://www2a.cdc.gov/phlp/ *** Law Behind the News. In this week's Law Behind the News, we spotlight the U.S. National Response Plan (NRP). The NRP is an all-discipline, all-hazards plan that establishes a single, comprehensive framework for the management of domestic incidents, including natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina. It provides the structure and mechanisms for the coordination of federal support to state, local, and tribal incident managers and for exercising direct federal authorities and responsibilities. See below for more information. *** State of Louisiana Executive Order No. KBB 2005-33. On Monday, Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco rescinded and terminated an earlier Order and replaced it with this Declaration of Public Health Emergency and Suspension of In-State Licensure for Medical Professionals and Personnel Licensed Out-Of-State. The new Order allows both out-of-state and out-of-country professionals and personnel to practice in Louisiana, and considers them agents of Louisiana for purposes of tort liability.

WIPO Facing Legislative Fatigue from Policy Orgy? Posted by David Tannenbaum on Wednesday, September 07 @ 18:54:02 EDT IP Watch is reporting that the deputy director general of the World Intellectual Property Organization, Francis Gurry, speculated in a press conference today that the latest deadlock between developed and developing countries may simply be "legislation fatigue" after a decade of WIPO's addressing "an orgy of policy issues." These comments come as U.S., Japan, and Europe have been trying without much success to ram a "patent harmonization" treaty down the throats of developing countries. Japan and the U.S. are apparently threatening to take their game outside of WIPO. According to the IP Watch report, Gurry went on to note that the "fatigue" is not necessarily so bad, since it could shift debate to other issues, like database rights. There is all kind of spinning going on here. The deadlock is not a result of "fatigue," it's the outcome of vigorous mobilization by developing countries and civil society, a growing consensus among policy experts that expanding control over information in the digital age isn't so good for promoting development, and perhaps the growing public focus to WIPO's proceedings brought on by this clash and by WIPO's recent corruption scandals. An "orgy of policy issues" sounds kind of fun, but that isn't an accurate idiom for what happened in WIPO in the 1990s. What we're witnessing is classic backlash. If debate at WIPO does shift to issues like database rights because patents are now too hot, we can only hope that these same forces will keep the IP maximalists at bay.

Court agrees 'partial birth' law unconstitutional
Decision upholds lower court ruling that ban on procedure is illegal
LINCOLN, Neb. - A federal appeals court on Friday upheld a ruling that the federal Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act is unconstitutional. The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis agreed that the ban, while containing an exception to save the life of the mother, is unconstitutional because it makes no such exception for the health of the woman. The court upheld an earlier decision by U.S. District Judge Richard Kopf of Lincoln, who heard one of three cases brought over the issue last year. Court: Women's health must be protected
Kopf's ruling followed decisions overturning the law by federal judges in New York and San Francisco. Those decisions also have been appealed and are expected by many legal experts to eventually reach the U.S. Supreme Court. "When 'substantial medical authority' supports the medical necessity of a procedure in some instances, a health exception is constitutionally required," Judge Kermit Bye of the 8th Circuit wrote in the opinion issued Friday. "In effect, we believe when a lack of consensus exists in the medical community, the Constitution requires legislatures to err on the side of protecting women's health by including a health exception."

    UK: Authorities must act immediately on Law Lords ruling
    Press release, 12/16/2004 Amnesty International is relieved at today's ruling of a panel Law Lords that legislation, adopted in the United Kingdom (UK) in the aftermath of the attacks in the USA on 11 September 2001, was in breach of the human rights of the people detained under it.
    Today's case concerned the powers of the Home Secretary to certify and subsequently indefinitely detain without charge or trial non-deportable foreign nationals as "suspected international terrorists" and a "national security risk". The Law Lords declared that these powers were discriminatory and disproportionate, and therefore incompatible with human rights law
    Under this legislation, 12 people continue to be deprived of their liberty (11 in state institutions and one under house arrest). Most of them have been detained for three years. The Law Lords' ruling will not lead to their immediate release.
