Abortion Laws In Nigeria: A Case For Reform, P. Chibueze Okorie, Olubusola Adebayo Abayomi
Abortion Laws In Nigeria: A Case For Reform, P. Chibueze Okorie, Olubusola Adebayo Abayomi
Annual Survey of International & Comparative Law
The available statistics indicate that over 1,000,000 abortions occur in Nigeria annually, representing about 33 abortions per 1,000 women of child bearing age. It has also been asserted that illegal abortion is responsible for about 11% of maternal death in Nigeria and 50% of such deaths involve adolescents and young women. Although, it may be difficult to confirm these reports and statistics by different researchers, mainly because of the absence of official figures owing to the clandestine nature of abortion in Nigeria, there is no doubt that abortions are generally procured by women for various reasons, namely: financial and emotional …

Imperatives Of Corporate Governance On Corporate Citizenship In Nigeria, Professor Dr. S. Gozie Ogbodo, Dr. Godwin Luke Umoru
Annual Survey of International & Comparative Law
This paper seeks to examine and interrogate the conceptual ideas and frameworks of corporate governance; its relationship and relevance to corporate citizenship and the elements that describe what is meant by corporate citizenship. Various perspectives of the role which corporate governance plays as a major influence on corporate citizenship and corporate social responsibility were clearly shown. Also shown is the meaning which is ascribed to corporate governance, its core principles, the rhetoric and realities concerning the effect of a corporation’s pursuit of power and profit on corporate citizenship, legal and social responsibilities and the significant paradigm shift. Situating the concept …
A New Era In The Application Of U.S. Securities Law Abroad: Valuing The Presumption Against Extraterritoriality And Managing The Future With The Sustainable- Domestic-Integrity Standard, Alina Veneziano
Annual Survey of International & Comparative Law
The U.S. Supreme Court in Morrison held that Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act did not apply extraterritorially, lacking a clear indication by Congress of the intent to do so. In reaching this conclusion, it clarified that the reach of Section 10(b) is a merits question, not a question of subject matter jurisdiction and stated that the focus of the statute was upon purchases and sales of securities in the United States while articulating a bright-line transactional test to determine whether extraterritorial application was appropriate. The transactional test completely rejected the conduct/effects tests, which had been used by courts for …
International Standards For Protection Of Religious Freedom, Anthony Peirson Xavier Bothwell
International Standards For Protection Of Religious Freedom, Anthony Peirson Xavier Bothwell
Annual Survey of International & Comparative Law
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, inspired by the “four freedoms” articulated by Franklin D. Roosevelt, proclaims but does not define the religious liberty that is the birthright of all people. Four centuries ago, when few people were free, religious ideas fostered the development of some of the fundamental principles of the law of nations. As international law has matured, increasingly it has recognized the right of individuals and groups to pursue their own religions and beliefs. The United Nations system has generated an array of international conventions, covenants, and resolutions which today articulate the rights of adherents to all …

Involuntary Dissolution: Theory And Operation In Publicly Traded Corporations, Dr. Murat Can Pehlivanoglu
Involuntary Dissolution: Theory And Operation In Publicly Traded Corporations, Dr. Murat Can Pehlivanoglu
Annual Survey of International & Comparative Law
Involuntary dissolution is recognized as the primary mechanism to monitor opportunism and remedy the aggrieved minority shareholders of corporations. Contrary to general understanding, involuntary dissolution is not idiosyncratic to close corporations. However, its application to publicly traded corporations requires an approach different than the one for close corporations. This note discusses and recommends the approach necessary to justify and effectively enforce involuntary dissolution statutes’ application in the context of publicly traded corporations. It expresses the opinion that the contractual view of corporate law would provide the theoretical basis necessary to construe the statute for publicly traded corporations and exemplifies its …
