Labor Rights And Free Trade; Social Development Parallel To Economic Development, Hassan Razavi
Labor Rights And Free Trade; Social Development Parallel To Economic Development, Hassan Razavi
Hassan Razavi
The trade-based distributional policies have reinforced the issue of social standards in societies and the encroachment of free trade on other international standards particularly the labor standards has linked this matter with the issue of comparative advantage, thus opening the door for claims which are not made in good faith. This research studies the linkage of free trade and social standards under the WTO umbrella and based on justice theories, develop a framework in which the claims for both the protection of human rights and economic growth could be met by developing the idea of parallelism within the current regime …

The Evolution Of The Digital Millennium Copyright Act; Changing Interpretations Of The Dmca And Future Implications For Copyright Holders, Hillary A. Henderson
Hillary A Henderson
Copyright law rewards an artificial monopoly to individual authors for their creations. This reward is based on the belief that, by granting authors the exclusive right to reproduce their works, they receive an incentive and means to create, which in turn advances the welfare of the general public by “promoting the progress of science and useful arts.” Copyright protection subsists . . . in original works of authorship fixed in any tangible medium of expression, now known or later developed, from which they can be perceived, reproduced, or otherwise communicated, either directly or with the aid of a machine or …

Social Protection Afforded To Irregular Migrant Workers: Thoughts On International Norms, The Southern African Development Community, Botswana And South Africa, Bruno Ps Van Eck, Felicia Snyman
Bruno PS Van Eck
The majority of migrant workers target those countries in southern Africa that have stronger economies. Irregular migrants are in a particularly vulnerable position, and this article discusses the protection that this category of persons may expect to experience in the southern African region. The authors recommend that the broad notion of “social protection”, rather than the narrower concept “social security” should be emphasized. International, continental and regional instruments providing protection to irregular migrants are traversed and the constitutional and legislative frameworks in relation to social protection in Botswana and South Africa are compared. The article concludes that there are significant …

International Law And Transnational Corporations: Towards A Final Summation, Varun Vaish
International Law And Transnational Corporations: Towards A Final Summation, Varun Vaish
Varun Vaish
The regulation of transnational corporations (TNCs) by an international legal order fundamentally centred on states proves to be difficult when they exercise political influence and have the ability to generate revenue which can eclipse the economies of many countries in comparison. According to the World Investment Report 2007, as of 2006 there were 78,411 parent corporations and 777,647 affiliates worldwide.4 The scale of the concentration of economic power is illustrated by the statistics: of the world’s hundred largest economic entities, 51 are multinational companies and 49 are nation states. The Texaco Corporation functioned for years in Ecuador with annual global …

Architectural Digest For International Trade And Labor Law: Regional Free Trade Agreements And Minimum Criteria For Enforceable Social Clauses, Marley S. Weiss
Marley S. Weiss
Until the advent of binding “social clauses” in free trade arrangements, and incorporation of stronger social rights in the European Community treaties, the rapid widening and deepening of international commercial integration proceeded largely separate from international labor rights obligations. Inclusion of a “social clause” in a trade agreement ensures that the parties´ international labor rights commitments have equal dignity and binding force with their trade obligations. The threat of economic sanction for non-observance of labor commitments akin to the penalties for trade rule violations also may provide some “teeth” to induce compliance, unlike the lack of economic sanctions for violation …
