Iran Sanctions Relief: Status & Prospects, Perry S. Bechky
Iran Sanctions Relief: Status & Prospects, Perry S. Bechky
Perry S. Bechky
This talk, given to a European trade association, describes the sanctions relief given by the US Government to Iran as part of the nuclear deal known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). It places this sanctions relief in historical context and flags the significance of ongoing sanctions for both US and non-US businesses. Finally, it urges businesses doing or contemplating business with Iran to anticipate, manage, and allocate risks. (Powerpoint slides)
The Quest For A New Generation Of Labor Chapter In The Ttip, Michele Faioli
The Quest For A New Generation Of Labor Chapter In The Ttip, Michele Faioli
Michele Faioli
The TTIP (Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership Agreement) may be key for the EU-US forthcoming vision of labor and industrial relations. More in general, it may be key for idea of a possible common Western labor legal system. The TTIP may be turned into a occasion to ground a new generation of labor chapters in investment/partnership treaties. In line with preliminary outputs, a practical proposal is introduced. This essay is also aimed at analyzing, under a critical legal approach, why, to what extent and how the TTIP labor chapter may be set up. By means of a de-constructive method in …

A Supplementary Submission On The Commonwealth's Treaty-Making Process, Matthew Rimmer
A Supplementary Submission On The Commonwealth's Treaty-Making Process, Matthew Rimmer
Matthew Rimmer
This supplementary submission highlights two new developments, which have arisen since the initial submission. First, it considers the publication of the draft Investment Chapter of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) by WikiLeaks. Second, it looks at the introduction of the fast-track trade promotion authority bill, the Bipartisan Congressional Priorities and Accountability Act of 2015, into the United States Congress. The two topics have been inter-linked to a certain extent.

The World’S Laboratory: China’S Patent Boom, It Standards And The Implications For The Global Knowledge, Christopher Mcelwain, Dennis Fernandez
Christopher McElwain
Just as China’s factories disrupted the economics of IT hardware, its research labs have the potential to disrupt the economics of the technology itself. In 2014, China’s patent office received nearly 2.4 million patent applications, 93% from domestic applicants. China has also climbed to third place in terms of international applications, with over 21,000 WIPO PCT applications. Meanwhile, China has taken an assertive role in setting technology standards, both at the national and international levels. In the past, this has included developing and promoting alternatives to important IT standards as a means of challenging perceived monopolies by certain (foreign-dominated) technologies. …
Shared Responsibility Regulation Model For Cross-Border Reproductive Transactions, Sharon Bassan
Shared Responsibility Regulation Model For Cross-Border Reproductive Transactions, Sharon Bassan
Sharon Bassan
The term “cross-border reproductive transactions” refers to the phenomenon of tens of thousands of people who travel from one country to another to purchase reproductive services, in order to have a child. The foci of this paper are the lion share of cross-border reproductive transactions, specifically between consumers, i.e., intended parents from affluent countries, and suppliers of reproductive services, egg sellers and surrogate mothers, the majority of whom are from lower middle-income countries. Strong concerns regarding the morality of consumers’ states’ policy arise when a country nationally restricts or bans commercial surrogacy, while accepting the results of cross-border reproductive transactions …
The Commonwealth's Treaty-Making Process, Matthew Rimmer
The Commonwealth's Treaty-Making Process, Matthew Rimmer
Matthew Rimmer
Considering both the situation in Australia and the United States, the Commonwealth’s Treaty-Making Process is broken. There have been significant problems in respect of transparency, public participation, empirical analysis, and parliamentary oversight. In addition, there has been a concern that the Commonwealth’s Treaty-Making Process has failed to adequately address matters of fair trade. In particular, there is a need to engage a comprehensive assessment of the impacts of international agreements upon the environment, public health, labor rights, and human rights. Such problems have been particularly pronounced during the negotiations over the regional trade agreement, the Trans-Pacific Partnership. Having participated in …

Capturing The Transplant: U.S. Antitrust Law In The Eu, Silvia Beltrametti
Capturing The Transplant: U.S. Antitrust Law In The Eu, Silvia Beltrametti
Silvia Beltrametti
The scholarly literature on the movement of legal norms focuses almost exclusively on transfers from one jurisdiction to another. It largely ignores transfers into new regulatory regimes. Drawing on a case study of the transplantation of U.S. antitrust law into the nascent entity that was to become the European Community, and analyzing its evolution from a public choice perspective, this Article suggests that transfers into new regulatory regimes are more likely to be effective when the lack of established institutions creates opportunities for stakeholders. The endorsement of a new law will enable stakeholders to influence its application and to capture …
The Club Approach To Multilateral Trade Lawmaking, Nicolas Lamp
The Club Approach To Multilateral Trade Lawmaking, Nicolas Lamp
Nicolas Lamp
The World Trade Organization (WTO) stands at the center of an emerging world of global economic governance. Its rules affect important aspects of all our lives – how much we pay for the products that we purchase, what types of employment are open to us, and which medicines we can access. And yet, while the WTO was conceived as a “negotiating machine” that would develop rules in sync with an increasingly dynamic global economy, negotiations on a new set of global trade rules have now been deadlocked for over a decade. This impasse is all the more surprising in light …

International Exchange And Trade In Cultural Objects, Ana Filipa Vrdoljak
International Exchange And Trade In Cultural Objects, Ana Filipa Vrdoljak
Ana Filipa Vrdoljak
The legal protection of movable cultural heritage at the international level has been defined by a perennial tug-of-war between forces promoting international exchange and those seeking regulation of the transfer of the cultural objects. Shifts over the last century in how the balance between these twin aims is achieved reflect changes in the composition of Member States of intergovernmental organizations and their corresponding changing priorities. In the early twentieth century, the balance fostered under the League of Nations favored a cosmopolitan view promoting the circulation and interchange of cultural material to further knowledge and mutual understanding between peoples. The balance …
Globalization And Foreign Policy In The Us, Rachele M. Hendricks
Globalization And Foreign Policy In The Us, Rachele M. Hendricks
Rachele M Hendricks-Sturrup
Globalization is a recent economic phenomenon that directly influences individuals’ freedom, opportunity and resources needed to freely move across the world to engage in and profit from transnational commerce. Several legal scholars and analysts have focused heavily on the costs and benefits of globalization. A number of its lauded benefits include decreased global poverty, increased political cooperation, cultural familiarity, war prevention, standard setting for human civil rights, and the extension of personal financial freedom across the world versus being concentrated mainly in developed nations. On the other side of the globalization coin however, a great deal of concerns have escalated …
‘The Law Works Itself Pure’: The Fragmented Disciplines Of Global Trade And Monetary Cooperation, And The Chinese Currency Problem, Chin Leng Lim
‘The Law Works Itself Pure’: The Fragmented Disciplines Of Global Trade And Monetary Cooperation, And The Chinese Currency Problem, Chin Leng Lim
Chin Leng Lim
This chapter considers the long-standing controversy over the Chinese yuan – the primary unit of account of the renminbi, or RMB, the official currency of the People’s Republic of China. The currency valuation interventions of the People’s Bank of China (PBC) have been the subject of international disagreement, not least between the USA and China. Criticism of China in the USA became especially heated during the 2009 to 2012 period, occurring in the aftermath of the global financial and economic crisis and coinciding with the period of the great recession. Other countries, such as Brazil, also drew critical attention to …
From Kafka To Kafta: Intellectual Property, And The Korea-Australia Free Trade Agreement, Matthew Rimmer
From Kafka To Kafta: Intellectual Property, And The Korea-Australia Free Trade Agreement, Matthew Rimmer
Matthew Rimmer
The Korea-Australia Free Trade Agreement 2014 (KAFTA) is a Kafkaesque agreement – with its secret texts, speculative claims, and shadowy tribunals. Australia and South Korea have signed a new free trade agreement - the Korea-Australia Free Trade Agreement2014 (KAFTA). Is it a fair trade fairytale? Or is it a dirty deal done dirt cheap? Or somewhere in between? It is hard to tell, given the initial secrecy of the negotiations, and the complexity of the texts of the agreement. There has been much debate in the Australian Parliament over the transparency of the trade agreement; the scope of market access …
The Regulation Of Investment In The Tpp - Towards A Defining International Agreement For The Asia-Pacific Region, Julien Chaisse
The Regulation Of Investment In The Tpp - Towards A Defining International Agreement For The Asia-Pacific Region, Julien Chaisse
Julien Chaisse
The TPP investment chapter resembles in large measure the more recent US IIAs rather than the 1995 text of NAFTA Chapter 11. In a nutshell, the TPP investment chapter does not offer major innovations in terms of treaty drafting. However, the TPP crystallizes most recent innovations since 2001 in terms of NAFTA interpreting notes and also reflects developments in arbitral case-law. The normative quality and geographic scope of the TPP, however, places the agreement among the most detailed and important investment treaties. In this light, it is possible to return to the question raised in the beginning of this chapter …
North America Time For A New Focus, Daniel Cassidy
North America Time For A New Focus, Daniel Cassidy
Daniel Cassidy
The United States, Canada, and Mexico are bound by a shared geography, history, and environment. In the twenty years since the passage of the North American Free Trade Agreement, the continent’s three economies and societies have become deeply intertwined, making relations between the United States and its immediate neighbors more important than ever. In 2005, in conjunction with counterpart organizations in Canada and Mexico, the Council on Foreign Relations published Building a North American Community, which proposed the establishment of a North American economic and security community by 2010, the boundaries of which would be defined by a common external …

Wto Case Law In 2013, Sacerdoti Giorgio, Emily Lydgate, Guendalina C. De Gaspari, Regis Y. Simo, Carlo De Stefano
Regis Y. Simo
This is an analytical survey of the WTO case law for 2013.It was a slow year for WTO case law in the sense that the only Appellate Body decisions to appear were the “twin reports” Canada – Renewable Energy and Canada – Feed-In Tariffs, which focus on the same renewable energy measures in the Canadian province of Ontario. In addition, two unappealed Panel Reports on antidumping measures, China – X-Ray Equipment and China – Broiler Products were adopted by the Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) in 2013.
Money From Syar’Iah Perspective, Anowar Zahid
Money From Syar’Iah Perspective, Anowar Zahid
Anowar Zahid
In history, paper money systems have always wound up with collapse and economic chaos. Today, the usage of fiat currency, a form of paper money and the correlate bank money has brought about wide spread hardships and sufferings upon many sectors of society and communities. Following in depth syari’ah analysis, the only conclusion that is possible is that fiat currency and bank money are illegal. They are, in reality, introduced through manipulative collaborations between governments and bank cartels, as they defy the long established sanction against riba’ (usury), operate at the advantage of a selected group in society to the …
Incorporating The Third Party Beneficiary Principle In Natural Resource Contracts, James T. Gathii
Incorporating The Third Party Beneficiary Principle In Natural Resource Contracts, James T. Gathii
James Thuo Gathii
Third world citizens—parties who often have the most to lose in natural resource contracts between their governments and foreign investors—often have no voice in negotiations of the contracts and consequently have no remedy under contract law when harms occur or when the contracts are not properly enforced. The privity doctrine, which permits contract suits only by parties to the contract, bars these citizens from suing because they were not in privity with any of the contracting parties, despite that these contracts are generally made for the benefit of these citizens. However, some countries have adopted—and this Essay argues other countries …

Or somewhere in between? It is hard to tell, given the initial secrecy of the negotiations, and the complexity of the texts of the agreement There has been much debate in Parliament over the transparency of the trade agreement; the scope of market access provided under the deal; the impact of the investment chapter, with its investor-state dispute settlement clause; the intellectual property chapter; the environment chapter; …
China's Role In Well-Known Marks Protection: It's Now Or Never...Or Dilution, Ava Farshidi
China's Role In Well-Known Marks Protection: It's Now Or Never...Or Dilution, Ava Farshidi
Ava Farshidi
Infringement over the transliteration, converting text to another script, of well-known marks is a major problem for foreign companies in China. If a multinational company does not create its own Chinese transliteration, the Chinese public may create one, which will ultimately affect the company’s ownership of the mark in a different language. Although China became a member of both the Paris Convention for the Protection of Intellectual Property (“Paris Convention”) and the agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (“TRIPS”), China has adopted laws that directly conflict with these international guidelines for well-known marks, which has paved the way …

‘The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) proposes to freeze into a binding trade agreement many of the worst features of the worst laws in the TPP countries, making needed reforms extremely difficult if not impossible. The investor state dispute resolution mechanisms should not be shrouded in mystery to the general public, while the same provisions are routinely discussed with advisors to big corporations.’ Professor Joseph Stiglitz, Nobel Laureate in Economics
