The Liability Of International Arbitrators: A Comparative Analysis And Proposal For Qualified Immunity, Susan Franck Dec 1999

The Liability Of International Arbitrators: A Comparative Analysis And Proposal For Qualified Immunity, Susan Franck

Susan D. Franck

International arbitration has become the preferred way of resolving international commercial disputes. Although the parties have an opportunity to play a role in the selection of arbitrators, there may nevertheless be concerns about the integrity of the dispute resolution process. This article examines the nature of the relationship between the parties and the arbitrators. It then explores how a variety of countries address the issues of arbitrator liability or immunity from the common law, civil law and Islamic law perspectives. The article ultimately recommends the adoption of a qualified immunity standard, which balances the needs for arbitrators to function independently …

Nato Intervention On Trial: The Legal Case That Was Never Made, Paul Williams, Michael Scharff Dec 1999

Nato Intervention On Trial: The Legal Case That Was Never Made, Paul Williams, Michael Scharff

Paul Williams

Measured in millennial time, very little about war has changed, and, further, nothing distinguished the passage from 1999 …
