David Vs. Goliath (2001): An Analysis Of The Oecd Harmful Tax Competition Policy, Truman Butler Dec 2001

David Vs. Goliath (2001): An Analysis Of The Oecd Harmful Tax Competition Policy, Truman Butler

LLM Theses and Essays

The OECD or Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development has produced a report titled Harmful Tax Competition An Emerging Global Issue. The report is the single largest threat to the offshore finance industry. Further, the sweeping recommendations made by the report would at worst potentially discourage foreign investment in some of the more established offshore financial centers. This thesis represents an analytical view of the report and further gives some highlights to the anomalies found in the tax regimes of the major industrialized countries. It is clear that the actions of the OECD does create in effect a tax cartel. …

A Truism That Isn't True? The Tenth Amendment And Executive War Power, D. A. Jeremy Telman Oct 2001

A Truism That Isn't True? The Tenth Amendment And Executive War Power, D. A. Jeremy Telman

Law Faculty Publications

The Tenth Amendment is invoked whenever congressional powers threaten the independent law-making power of the several states. In that context, however, the Tenth Amendment does not tell us very much. After all, if powers are not delegated to the federal government, where else would they go but to the states? Accordingly, the Supreme Court has dismissed the Amendment as a truism.

Although the Amendment is only deployed as a rather ineffectual check on congressional authority, it clearly applies to all branches of the federal government. However, according to the theory of inherent executive authority, certain powers are unique to the …

That Someone Guilty Be Punished: The Impact Of The Icty In Bosnia, Diane Orentlicher Jul 2001

That Someone Guilty Be Punished: The Impact Of The Icty In Bosnia, Diane Orentlicher

Reports

In That Someone Guilty Be Punished, Diane F. Orentlicher, professor of law at American University, looks at the effects and effectiveness of the ICTY, including lessons to improve future efforts to provide justice for survivors of atrocious crimes. Perhaps most importantly, Orentlicher examines the impact of the tribunal through the words and experiences of those in whose name it was established: the victims and survivors. Their expectations, hopes, and disappointments are chronicled alongside the tribunal’s achievements and limitations. Based on hundreds of hours of interviews—and featuring the voices and perceptions of dozens of Bosnian interlocutors—That Someone Guilty Be Punished provides …

Armageddon Through Aggregation: The Use And Abuse Of Class Actions In International Dispute Resolution, Richard O. Faulk Jan 2001

Armageddon Through Aggregation: The Use And Abuse Of Class Actions In International Dispute Resolution, Richard O. Faulk

Richard Faulk

A troubling and dangerous phenomenon has emerged onto the international litigation landscape. The system of justice understood and appreciated by citizens in most democratic states — one which guarantees individual plaintiffs and defendants their “day in court” — is increasingly being sidestepped by procedural rules that allow entrepreneurial lawyers to aggregate claims into massive controversies that are, for all practical purposes, untriable. Although these enormous cases arise in varying formats, they share a single intimidating characteristic: the designed imposition of enormous and intolerable risks which defendants cannot prudently accept by insisting on their “day in court” in a jury trial. …
