The Case of the Extradition of Luis Posada Carriles: Is the United States Harboring a Terrorist?
Bibliographic record
Abstract
"The Case of the Extradition of Luis Posada Carriles: Is the United States Harboring a Terrorist?", is the product of an independent research and writing exercise that I undertook to satisfy a writing requirement as editor of the American University International Law Review. The comment analyses the international obligations of the United States in the face of Venezuela’s request for the extradition of Luis Posada Carriles, a Cuban-born anti-Castro militant accused by Venezuela of bombing a civil airplane in 1976. The comment argues that under the Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts against the Safety of Civil Aviation (Montreal Convention) and the Convention for the Suppression of Terrorist Bombings (Terrorist Bombings Convention), the United States, which currently holds Posada Carriles in immigration detention for illegally entering the country in 2005, is bound to investigate Venezuela’s allegations and to extradite or prosecute Posada Carriles if such allegations are well-founded.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
