Loan Agreements Between Developing Countries And Foreign Commercial Banks -- Reflections On Some Legal And Economic Issues, A. O. Adede

Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce

This article is included in the symposium entitled: Refinancing of Third World Debt.

The third world loans of the American banks are still the most controversial and most worrying part of their international business, even if the wilder fears expressed earlier in 1976 have been discredited. Or to put it more properly, the experience has not been good, but international banks seem so far to have had sound shock absorbers.

Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce

A Unified Multinational Approach To The Application Of Tort And Contract Principles To Outer Space, Hamilton Desaussure, P.P.C. Haanappel

Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce

As the number of multinational corporations exploiting the regions of outer space for commercial reasons, and the number of nongovernmental spacefarers increase, some systematic approach to the application of substantive legal rules for the settlement of disputes generated by extraterrestrial events, particularly outer space accidents and contractual deviations, will have to be formulated.


Transnational Corporations, International Law, And The New International Economic Order, K. V. Raman Jan 1978

Transnational Corporations, International Law, And The New International Economic Order, K. V. Raman

Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce

The purpose of this article is to sketch in a rather cursory manner first, the most fundamental and basic claims underlying the current efforts to establish a New International Economic Order (NIEO), second, the critical role of transnational corporations in the global wealth process which is perceived as either directly or indirectly affecting the realization of those claims, and third, to point out the subtle but pervasive influence of legal concepts, doctrines, and the practice of classical international law, viewed by the claimants as contributing to the status quo, and consequently a major impediment to the realization of those claims.

Political Asylum And The Refugee Hijacker: A Suggested Alternative, Nancy L. Cohen Jan 1978

Political Asylum And The Refugee Hijacker: A Suggested Alternative, Nancy L. Cohen

Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce

This Note will examine the circumstances under which a state may grant asylum to an individual who has committed an airline hijacking. It has been suggested that any airline hijacker who has committed a political offense and is exempt from extradition is thereby entitled to asylum. It is submitted that a more limited distinction be made. Only the individual who is truly seeking refuge from political persecution has a right to enjoy political asylum elsewhere. The terrorist or fugitive from justice, irrespective of his motives, has no right to asylum. He should, therefore, be extradited under all circumstances.
