Stipulations In A Muslim Marriage Contract With Special Reference To Talq Al-Tafwid Provisions In Paksitan, Muhammad Munir Dr.
Dr. Muhammad Munir
This work elaborates the over-technical topic of stipulations in a Muslim marriage contract; explains the various types of stipulations benefiting women and men; explains how and to what extent classical Islamic law is incorporated into statutes of many Muslim states; describes case law of Indo-Pak subcontinent on stipulations based on the doctrine of stare decisis; surveys talaq al-tafwid in Pakistan to ascertain the extent of its practical application by the masses; and explore the role of nikah registrars, who are authorized by the government of Pakistan to solemnize nikah (marriage contract) throughout the country.
The Judicial System Of The East India Company: Precursor To The Present Pakistani Legal System, Muhammad Munir Dr.
The Judicial System Of The East India Company: Precursor To The Present Pakistani Legal System, Muhammad Munir Dr.
Dr. Muhammad Munir
The work discusses how the British East India Company came to the subcontinent for the purpose of trade in 1604 and how it slowly and gradually started interfering in the local justice system by acquiring revenue collection of 38 villages in 1717 near Calcutta. In 1765 the Company was granted revenue collection as well as customs of three provinces. The Company also acquired the administration of justice in the areas under its control and the role of Muslim qadis and judges was over. Company’s officials, who were traders rather than trained judges, were running the court system and the Privy …

Regional Economic Arrangements And The Rule Of Law In The Americas: The Human Rights Face Of Free Trade Agreements, Stephen Powell
Regional Economic Arrangements And The Rule Of Law In The Americas: The Human Rights Face Of Free Trade Agreements, Stephen Powell
Stephen Joseph Powell
In past studies, we explored the more visible and controversial linkages between international trade law and non-trade issues that span a broad range of vital interests we may collectively describe as human rights law. We have addressed the widespread criticism that international trade rules are insensitive to basic human rights and that globalization has done little with its enormous power to preserve exhaustible natural resources and otherwise promote sustainable development, to alleviate the gap between rich and poor, to encourage states to grant their citizens basic human rights contained in U.N. treaties, to resolve the often conflicting policies underlying essential …

The Ponderosa Claim: Opic Concludes That Argentina Violated International Law, Perry S. Bechky
The Ponderosa Claim: Opic Concludes That Argentina Violated International Law, Perry S. Bechky
Perry S. Bechky
In 2005, the U.S. Overseas Private Investment Corporation (“OPIC”) determined that the Government of Argentina (the “GOA”) violated international law in its response to the 2001 financial crisis, by abrogating key provisions of the license that it had granted to operate the major natural gas pipeline in southern Argentina. This case note situates the OPIC determination with the contemporaneous investor-state arbitral claims brought by private investors directly against the GOA pursuant to the terms of a number of Argentina’s Bilateral Investment Treaties (“BITs”), and then offers several observations about the relationship between BITs and OPIC’s political-risk-insurance (“PRI”) in the modern …

Desafios Da Constituição Europeia À Teoria Constitucional, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha
Desafios Da Constituição Europeia À Teoria Constitucional, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha
Paulo Ferreira da Cunha
The project of the “Treaty that establishes a Constitution for the Europe”, beyond its political consequences, puts some challenges to the classical constitutional theory. At first sight, it seems completely heterodox towards canon constitutional tendencies, and first of all in what concerns the constituent power classical theories. However, a more rigorous analysis of the history of the modern constitutionalism and its founding texts, mainly French, can lead us to detect very revealing bridges between the liberal modern constitutionalism of the XVIIIth century and the present constitution making of a codified European Constitution. The “treaty” formula that was adopted also represents …

No Longer Little Known But Now A Door Ajar: An Overview Of The Evolving And Dangerous Role Of The Alien Tort Statute In Human Rights And International Law Jurisprudence, Donald J. Kochan
Donald J. Kochan
Human rights’ and other international law activists have long worked to add teeth to their tasks. One of the most interesting avenues for such enforcement has been the Alien Tort Statute (“ATS”). The ATS has become the primary vehicle for injecting international norms and human rights into United States courts – against nation-states, state actors, and even private individuals or corporations alleged to actually or in complicity or conspiracy been responsible for supposed violations of international law. This Symposium Article provides an overview of the ATS evolution (or revolution), discusses the most recent significant development in the evolution arising from …

The Uses Of Pacific Settlement Techniques In Malaysia-Singapore Relations, Chin Leng Lim
The Uses Of Pacific Settlement Techniques In Malaysia-Singapore Relations, Chin Leng Lim
Chin Leng Lim
States are compelled to seek flexibility in the design of their international law-related policies. Malaysia and Singapore are not exceptional in this respect. Both countries appeal to international law not infrequently when presenting their respective foreign policy positions. Both countries are active members of the UN; neither has submitted to the compulsory jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice but both have resorted to the Court by special agreement. However, while Malaysia’s decisions to litigate the Ligitan and Sipadan issue with Indonesia and to go to court with Singapore over Pedra Branca/Pulau Batu Puteh presented relatively little risk, a low-risk …
