The Great Divide: Considering Section 157a Of The Singapore Companies Act, Pearlie Koh Jan 2004

The Great Divide: Considering Section 157a Of The Singapore Companies Act, Pearlie Koh

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

The manner in which the powers of a company are carved out to be exercised by either the general meeting of shareholders or its board of directors is often a matter of interpretation of the constitution of the company. This approach retains a fair amount of flexibility in the differing models of power allocation that may be adopted by incorporators, but once carved out, the power allocation usually remains sacrosanct until such time as the constitution is validly altered. This was the position in Singapore before 2003. In 2003, the Companies Act of Singapore was amended to include s 157A, …

Mediation: Ein Meta Modell, Nadja Alexander Jan 2004

Mediation: Ein Meta Modell, Nadja Alexander

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

The Mediation Meta-Model introduced in this article provides a framework for understanding a range of mediation practice models and their relationship to each other and to other ADR processes. It extends the work of Riskin in two ways: first by revising the dimensions of his original Grid to form a Mediation Meta-Model and second, by identifying and labeling a range of practice models within this Meta-Model. The practice models draw from Boulle\u27s work and extend Boulle\u27s four primary models to five. This Meta-Model is developmental insofar as it has the ability to accommodate emerging and changing practice models of mediation. …


Restitution For Mistaken Gifts, Hang Wu Tang Jan 2004

Restitution For Mistaken Gifts, Hang Wu Tang

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

This paper investigates when a donor is entitled to restitution for an executed inter vivos gift made pursuant to a mistake. The causal mistake approach adopted by some leading works is considered, critiqued and rejected as a framework to analyse mistaken gifts. The central thesis of this paper is that a gift is an important transaction which engenders social bonds such as love, affection, intimacy, friendship, trust and gratitude, and these bonds influence the parties’ future conduct in the social sphere. This process has been termed as creating a moral economy. Therefore, just as it is important to protect the …

Powerful Change Part 2: Reducing The Power Demands Of Mobile Devices, Rajesh Krishna Balan Jan 2004

Powerful Change Part 2: Reducing The Power Demands Of Mobile Devices, Rajesh Krishna Balan

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Consumers expect their mobile devices to be small and light, have a decent battery lifetime, and still be powerful enough to run all their desired applications. The need to satisfy such consumer demands has driven mobile-device manufacturers to make products (such as PDAs and cell phones) that match these needs. However, this inevitably requires tradeoffs. Building smaller, lighter devices requires sacrificing the device's battery capacity because battery technology is still fairly dense and heavy, and contributes most of a mobile device's size and weight. But, mobile devices with the required resources to run useful desktop applications need additional battery power …


Mediation On Trial: Ten Verdicts On Court-Related Adr, Nadja Alexander Jan 2004

Mediation On Trial: Ten Verdicts On Court-Related Adr, Nadja Alexander

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

This article critically evaluates the development of court-related mediation by reference to the evolution of ADR practice and theory. The author explores the divergent approaches taken in different jurisdictions to the relationship between ADR and court-based processes while referring to some similar phases of development and the varied empirical examinations of process. The integration of ADR into the 'mainstream' dispute resolution culture is also explored from the perspective of the diversity versus consistency of process debates while reflecting upon the variations in ADR usage between inquisitorial and more adversarial legal systems.


A Secure And Privacy Enhanced Location-Based Service Transaction Protocol In Ubiquitous Computing Environment, Konidala Divyan, Robert H. Deng, Jianying Zhou, Kwanjo Kim Jan 2004

A Secure And Privacy Enhanced Location-Based Service Transaction Protocol In Ubiquitous Computing Environment, Konidala Divyan, Robert H. Deng, Jianying Zhou, Kwanjo Kim

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Nowadays mobile phones and PDAs are part and parcel of our lives. By carrying a portable mobile device with us all the time we are already living in partial Pervasive Computing Environment (PCE) that is waiting to be exploited very soon. One of the advantages of pervasive computing is that it strongly supports the deployment of Location-Based Service(s) (LBSs). In PCE, there would be many competitive service providers (SPs) trying to sell different or similar LBSs to users. In order to avail a particular service, it becomes very di#cult for a low-computing and resourcepoor mobile device to handle many such …


On The Effectiveness Of The Restrictions Governing Life In A Common Interest Community: A Comparative Study Between American And Japanese Law, Wei Zhang Jan 2004

On The Effectiveness Of The Restrictions Governing Life In A Common Interest Community: A Comparative Study Between American And Japanese Law, Wei Zhang

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

In this article, I made a comparative study on the laws regulating the restrictions established by developers or among property owners in common interest communities in the U.S. and Japan, as well as the cultural and social backgrounds against which they are created. It appears that similar rules exist in both countries to combat excessive restrictions on life in common interest communities, although the American law treats the ex ante restrictions somewhat differently from the ex post ones. Using a law and economics perspective, I argue that such disparate treatments make good sense given the feasibility of internalizing the effects …

One-China Policy And Taiwan, Y. Frank Chiang Jan 2004

One-China Policy And Taiwan, Y. Frank Chiang

Fordham International Law Journal

In April 2003, the severe acute respiratory syndrome ("SARS") disease spread to the island of Taiwan. These statements, made by the general who assigned the R.O.C. government to assume the task of the post-surrender administration of Formosa, and those of the high governmental officials of the leading Allied Powers not only demonstrate that the R.O.C. government has not acquired title to the island of Taiwan by occupation for the State of China, but also attest to the existence of a rule in international law that if title to a territory of the defeated State is to be changed after a …


Citizens Cannot Stand For It Anymore: How The United States' Environmental Actions In Afghanistan And Iraq Go Unchecked By Individuals And Non-Governmental Organizations, Wynne P. Kelly Jan 2004

Citizens Cannot Stand For It Anymore: How The United States' Environmental Actions In Afghanistan And Iraq Go Unchecked By Individuals And Non-Governmental Organizations, Wynne P. Kelly

Fordham International Law Journal

As the U.S. government's reach and responsibilities expand, it remains unclear exactly what, if any, input the general populations of Afghanistan, Iraq, or the United States have on government actions. The environmental needs of the two States have concerned the world enough that the United Nations Environment Program ("UNEP") has published a detailed post-conflict report on Afghanistan ("Afghanistan PCA") and a "Desk Study" of the environment in Iraq ("Iraq Desk Study"). There are four basic ways that citizens can attempt either to enjoin U.S. government environmental action abroad or compel the government to adhere to established regulations and agreements: (1) …


Homeless For Generations: Land Rights For The Chocoe Indians From Mogue, Panama, David E. Cahn Jan 2004

Homeless For Generations: Land Rights For The Chocoe Indians From Mogue, Panama, David E. Cahn

Fordham International Law Journal

Vaporiso knew that the lack of land ownership in his tribe was a great part of the Chocoes' suffering, and he felt that violence was the only way to rectify the problem. Agenda 21 requires member State governments to strengthen national dispute-resolution arrangements in relation to the settlement of land and resource-management concerns. Convention No. 169, which became legally binding on member States in 1991, provides indigenous people with the right to decide how they wish to develop the lands they occupy and use, and set their own priorities for those lands. Convention No. 169 also provides protection from people …


Introduction, Justice Richard J. Goldstone Jan 2004

Introduction, Justice Richard J. Goldstone

Fordham International Law Journal

This special issue of the Fordham International Law Journal contains seven outstanding articles by jurists from seven countries on three continents. The articles have a common thread in highlighting the necessity for respect of human rights and the human dignity that they are designed to protect. They also demonstrate the significant advances made since the end of World War II of international human rights law. In an age of terrorism there is an inevitable tension between measures designed to protect the lives of innocent civilians and their fundamental civil liberties.

The Efta Court: An Actor In The European Judicial Dialogue, Carl Baudenbacher Jan 2004

The Efta Court: An Actor In The European Judicial Dialogue, Carl Baudenbacher

Fordham International Law Journal

The vertical dialogue with the national courts of the EEA/EFTA States, in particular the Supreme Courts, has assisted the EFTA Court in developing its case law concerning effect and State liability. Through this jurisprudence, EEA homogeneity in the field of effect and State liability has been maintained. The EEA Main Agreement has been implemented in the domestic legal orders of the EFTA States. EEA secondary law is being implemented in an ongoing process. The same holds true for the rulings of the EFTA Court. There has, to this writer's knowledge, never been a case in which a national court refused …


War, Violence, Human Rights, And The Overlap Between National And International Law: Four Cases Before The South African Constitutional Court, Albie Sachs Jan 2004

War, Violence, Human Rights, And The Overlap Between National And International Law: Four Cases Before The South African Constitutional Court, Albie Sachs

Fordham International Law Journal

Both violence and international norms on human rights have become globalized. Formerly rigid systems of sovereignty become porous as the enemies and the friends of the rule of law show equal and opposite disregard for State boundaries. Judges in national courts are obliged to put aside their usual textbooks and cases, and open their eyes to legal scholars and commentators like Brownlie and Cassese. Four cases in the ten-year history of South Africa's Constitutional Court have exemplified these points. In each the Court was under pressure because of time--in three because events were unfolding so rapidly, and in one because …


The Development Of Human Rights In The United Kingdom, Lord Gordon Slynn Jan 2004

The Development Of Human Rights In The United Kingdom, Lord Gordon Slynn

Fordham International Law Journal

There are two myths about the United Kingdom. The first is that we do not have a constitution and did not have any human rights law until very recently. The second myth, very much tied to the first, is that human rights is a new topic. I find that most law students seem to think that they alone have thought about fundamental human rights and that the rest of the world knows nothing about it. As with most myths, however, none of these is absolutely true.


The United Nations And The Law Of War: Power And Sensibility In International Law, Simon Chesterman Jan 2004

The United Nations And The Law Of War: Power And Sensibility In International Law, Simon Chesterman

Fordham International Law Journal

This article serves as an introduction to the articles that follow, which examine questions of power and sensibility in four discrete ways. They look variously at the moral limits of international law, the extent to which power has been delegated to or asserted by the U.N. Security Council, the successes and failures of efforts at international criminal prosecution, and the challenge of applying the traditional laws of war in the context of a “Global War on Terror.” This introduction outlines the various contributions that follow and sketches out some potential implications.


Completing The Mandates Of The Ad Hoc International Criminal Tribunals: Lessons From The Nuremberg Process?, Daryl A. Mundis Jan 2004

Completing The Mandates Of The Ad Hoc International Criminal Tribunals: Lessons From The Nuremberg Process?, Daryl A. Mundis

Fordham International Law Journal

On September 2, 2004, the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (“ICTY”) filed a formal request for the transfer of the Ademi & Norac case to Croatia, pursuant to Rule 11 bis of the ICTY Rules of Procedure and Evidence (“ICTY RPE”). With this filing, the Prosecutor took an important and positive step towards giving effect to the completion strategy of the ICTY. This Article will discuss the steps taken by the ICTY and its sister institution, the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (“ICTR”), to fulfill their mandates by focusing only on the most senior perpetrators …


Hostile Protected Persons Or "Extra-Conventional Persons:" How Unlawful Combatants In The War On Terrorism Posed Extraordinary Challenges For Military Attorneys And Commanders, Paul E. Kantwill, Sean Watts Jan 2004

Hostile Protected Persons Or "Extra-Conventional Persons:" How Unlawful Combatants In The War On Terrorism Posed Extraordinary Challenges For Military Attorneys And Commanders, Paul E. Kantwill, Sean Watts

Fordham International Law Journal

First, this Article reviews policymakers' and commentators' categorization of participants in Operation Enduring Freedom, the armed conflict in Afghanistan against al Qaeda and Taliban fighters. This Article concentrate specifically on the status of participants operating at the fringes of the categories of persons protected by the Geneva Conventions. It shows, for example, how al Qaeda and the Taliban fighters tested the bounds of the Conventions by employing methods of “warfare” which rendered them non-distinct and therefore made a determination of their status unclear. This Article demonstrates how policymakers and ultimately the U.S. President created a class of persons--so-called extra-conventional persons--who …


The Just War Tradition And Natural Law, Jean Bethke Elshtain Jan 2004

The Just War Tradition And Natural Law, Jean Bethke Elshtain

Fordham International Law Journal

This Essay is divided into three parts. First, it briefly discusses Augustine on the notion of a "naturalistic morality" implanted in human minds and hearts. Second, it traces the ways in which such notions as human nature figure in Augustinian and post-Augustinian arguments concerning war and peace. Third, it takes the measure of our current international crises and challenges from the perspective of human dignity the "naturalistic morality" Augustine addresses when he insists that there is, in fact, a nature we share, trails in its wake far-reaching ethical complications.


The Augustinian Just War Tradition And The Problem Of Pretext In Humanitarian Intervention, Thomas H. Lee Jan 2004

The Augustinian Just War Tradition And The Problem Of Pretext In Humanitarian Intervention, Thomas H. Lee

Fordham International Law Journal

I will try to show how the present laws of war might be viewed as consistent with the Augustinian just war tradition. The modern international legal regime, codified in the Charter of the United Nations ("U.N. Charter"), permits States to engage in war only in "individual or collective self-defense if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations;" or pursuant to a determination by the U.N. Security Council of "existence of any threat to the peace, breach of the peace, or act of aggression," and Security Council authorization of the use of force "to maintain or restore …
