Arbitrating Corruption, Rachel Brewster
Arbitrating Corruption, Rachel Brewster
Faculty Scholarship
One of the most controversial issues in international investment law is how arbitral panels should deal with investments tainted by corruption at their inception. The current practice of investment arbitrators is to refuse to hear investors’ claims when bribery allegations are substantiated. A recent wave of scholarship has attacked this “corruption defense,” arguing that the practice unfairly harms investors and encourages governments to maintain corrupt practices. This Essay responds to that scholarship, arguing that the current approach is the best policy choice on balance. The Essay analyzes three core policy questions at the heart of the debate: Would eliminating the …

Belt And Road Initiative: Legal Mechanism To Recover Stolen Assets, Veltrice Tan
Singapore International Dispute Resolution Academy
Purpose: This paper aims to determine the types of legal mechanisms that authorities can use to recover stolen assets for and from China. Design/methodology/approach: Newspaper articles and books are examined as are relevant reports by various regulatory authorities and academic institutions. Findings: The effectiveness of legal mechanisms in the recovery of stolen assets may be affected by issues such as the difficulties in tracing illicit funds, the ambiguous nature of “value” as well as the rise in technology.

The Belt And Road Initiative: Conflict Of Laws And Dispute Resolution, Veltrice Tan
Singapore International Dispute Resolution Academy
Purpose: This paper aims to determine the adaptability of China’s legal system in recognizing and enforcing foreign judgements in China. Design/methodology/approach: Academic articles, case law and books are examined as are relevant reports by various regulatory authorities and organizations. Findings: Historically, Chinese courts have strictly adhered to “de facto reciprocity”, which made it difficult for foreign judgements to be recognized and enforced in China. Fortunately, Chinese courts have since abandoned their rigid adherence to de facto reciprocity, and have instead, used flexible tests of reciprocity such as de jure reciprocity, reciprocal commitment and reciprocal understand/consensus. Accordingly, this would facilitate the …
Combating Transnational Organized Crime In Thailand, Kiattisak Chanjana
Combating Transnational Organized Crime In Thailand, Kiattisak Chanjana
Theses and Dissertations
Globalization is described as the removal of barriers to facilitate the movement of goods and funds across national borders. However, this phenomenon has also benefited transnational organized crime networks by providing them opportunities to create new markets for illicit goods and services or infiltrate businesses or governments. In addition, the nature of criminal activities has changed due to the actions of organized criminal groups that commit crimes in one state but carry out the majority of their preparation, planning, direction, and participation in another state. As a result, transnational organized crime activities have an effect on the criminalization and collection …
Measuring Corruption As A Threat To International Security: An Emerging Indicator For Enhancement Of Global Corruption Governance, Sungyong Kang
Measuring Corruption As A Threat To International Security: An Emerging Indicator For Enhancement Of Global Corruption Governance, Sungyong Kang
Michigan Journal of International Law
The conceptual changes to international security after the end of the Cold War, and particularly those following the al-Qaeda attacks of 2001, clarified the symbiotic relationship between corruption and international security: Corruption destroys the social political environment required to create human security and to ensure safety from terrorist attacks, and national borders increasingly fail to restrain its negative consequences.
To achieve human security though policy intervention in domestic affairs, global corruption governance relies on numerical indicators that measure corruption. By evaluating states through public comparison, indicators pressure states to improve their domestic institutions and structures to align them with the …
From Well-Side Meetings To Pelican Strategy: A Context-Based Approach To Combat Corruption, Lili Yan
From Well-Side Meetings To Pelican Strategy: A Context-Based Approach To Combat Corruption, Lili Yan
Pace International Law Review
This article takes up the question of what strategy is to be used among different communities to eradicate corruption across borders. The debate between two legal scholars, Steven Salbu and Philip Nichols, over the viability of extraterritorial application of anti-bribery laws remains thought-provoking when we look at the effectiveness of the OECD Anti-bribery Convention or FCPA in curbing corruption. Empirical research shows that firms from countries with extraterritorial legal restrictions do not necessarily refrain themselves from paying bribes in foreign transactions. This article ties the Salbu-Nichols’ debate, ISCT, mediating institutions theory, and Pelican Gambits strategy together to structure a context …

Kausalitas Penegakan Hukum Tindak Pidana Korupsi Terhadap Stabilitas Keuangan Negara, Nur Ghenasyarifa Albany Tanjung
"Dharmasisya” Jurnal Program Magister Hukum FHUI
Corruption is an extraordinary crime because it touches various lines of life. One of the fundamental elements in corruption is the loss of the country's economy and finance. So far, various efforts have been made for criminal law enforcement, through various criminal sanctions, as well as the existence of an independent institution specifically tasked with conducting criminal law enforcement. However, corruption continues to be massive in Indonesia, which will also affect state losses. This article will discuss the causality of law enforcement on corruption against state financial stability. There is a causality between law enforcement of criminal acts which has …

Taking Responsibility Under International Law: Human Trafficking And Colombia’S Venezuelan Migration Crisis, Luz Estella Nagle, Juan Manuel Zarama
Taking Responsibility Under International Law: Human Trafficking And Colombia’S Venezuelan Migration Crisis, Luz Estella Nagle, Juan Manuel Zarama
University of Miami Inter-American Law Review
For more than six million Venezuelans, crossing international borders has become imperative to ensuring security and a livelihood that their country has failed to assure. These migrants and refugees, particularly young women and children, are vulnerable to many depredations, criminal acts, and the risk of becoming trafficking victims for forced labor and sexual slavery. This article focuses on State responsibility for migrant populations and analyzes conditions in Venezuela that caused a massive migration, the conditions in Colombia as a host State, the uncertain status of Venezuelan migrants in Colombia, and human trafficking and its impact on the migrant population.

“I Want Justice From People Who Did Bad Things To Children”: Experiences Of Justice For Sex Trafficking Survivors, John G. Morrissey, James Havey, Glenn M. Miles, Nhanh Channtha, Lim Vanntheary
Dignity: A Journal of Analysis of Exploitation and Violence
This research from the Butterfly Longitudinal Research Project focused on understanding the experiences and perceptions of justice and the justice system for 93 Cambodia participants (including 88 survivors of sex trafficking) as they navigated the legal system. Thirty-two of these survivors had experiences in court and provided details into their courtroom experiences, predominantly within Cambodia but also in the United States. The survivors’ experiences were diverse; however, the prevailing themes were: fear throughout their legal journeys; a low level of awareness and understanding of their legal experiences; and that NGO support was essential for these survivors to engage in the …

"Dharmasisya” Jurnal Program Magister Hukum FHUI
The phenomenon of the proliferation of public officials and political figures who have been caught up in corruption cases has caused enough efforts by law enforcement officials to stop it. Article 10 letter b number 1 of the Criminal Code states that additional sanctions can be in the form of revocation of certain rights. This study aims to determine the regulation regarding revocation of the right to vote and be elected in public office as an additional crime for perpetrators of corruption in terms of human rights perspective. This research used descriptive analytical, which describes the facts in the form …

Penerapan Prinsip Keadilan Restoratif Pada Tindak Pidana Korupsi Dalam Rangka Penyelamatan Keuangan Negara, Murpraptono Adhi Sulantoro
"Dharmasisya” Jurnal Program Magister Hukum FHUI
Restorative justice is a thought or theory that promotes the recovery of damages as a result of a crime. There is important to maintain State finance well-managed management, therefore, the regulation stipulates that any state financial losses incurred must be immediately recovered. Every year, the state has suffered trillions of rupiah in state financial losses due to corruption. The current criminal sanctions on corruption are more retributive in the form of retaliation under crimes committed by the corruptor, but on the other hand, the state financial losses incurred cannot be recovered, even new cases of criminal acts of corruption still …

The regulating efforts regarding corruption is a long process that has been going on since the issuance of Law Number 1 of 1946 concerning Criminal Law Rule on February 26, 1946 which made the legal basis for the change of Wetboek van Strafrecht voor Netherlands Indie to Wetboek van Strafrecht (WvS), which then known as the Criminal Code. Until now, regulations regarding corruption have been amended with the latest changes through Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning Amendment to Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Corruption and Law Number 7 of 2006 concerning Ratification of the United Nations …

The United Nations' Convention Against Corruption In The Palestinian Legislation, Saeed Abufara
Journal of the Arab American University مجلة الجامعة العربية الامريكية للبحوث
The corruption phenomenon is one of the oldest negative phenomena that has been closely related to the human society. Starting from the first human societies to the emergence of the modern political systems, the interpretation of the corruption phenomenon has varied in terms of countries' and people's cultures and values, as well as their political, economical, and social views. Corruption, in all its forms, represents an essential aspect in the international community and constitutes one of the most important obstacles, which impedes the growth and development of societies. Consequently, the international community has diligently sought for a global convention to …
International Lawyers As Disrupters Of Corruption: Business And Human Rights In Africa’S Most Populous Country—Nigeria, Jayanth K. Krishnan
International Lawyers As Disrupters Of Corruption: Business And Human Rights In Africa’S Most Populous Country—Nigeria, Jayanth K. Krishnan
Northwestern Journal of Human Rights
Be it bribery, embezzlement, or the abuse of public trust, corruption poses a major challenge to global security and democratic governance, along with undermining the rule of law, especially within the Global South. Key to this phenomenon is understanding how lawyers are enabling but also disrupting this epidemic. Unfortunately, the literature on this subject is lacking. This study, therefore, offers a nuanced story of globalization and the complicated role that lawyers play in corruption, by relying on the case study of Nigeria—a crucial Global South market that has the largest population on the African continent. While Nigeria has been able …

Never Waste A Crisis: Anticorruption Reforms In South America, Rachel Brewster, Andres Ortiz
Faculty Scholarship
In the midst of dramatic corruption scandals, South American countries have passed some of the most noteworthy anticorruption legislation in the region’s history. This Article examines the wave of anticorruption reforms and how international law, and in particular anticorruption treaties, has had an important influence on the content of these reforms. Specifically, this Article argues that that the OECD Anti-Bribery Working Group has acted as a political entrepreneur, advocating for specific and meaningful reforms. The influence of international law was critical in ensuring that the reforms adopted during these corruption scandals were robust and that the opportunity presented by these …

The International Lawyer
The new law and the corresponding OMB and key foreign aid agencies' guidelines require providers to follow best practices in the monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of U.S government (USG) foreign aid.2 A recent study conducted by the U.S. Government Accountability Office across the key USG foreign aid agencies identified a number of areas that needed improvement in the design, implementation, conclusions, and dissemination of foreign assistance evaluations.3 FATAA and the relevant guidelines will require providers to address those areas and focus their reporting requirements on tangible outcomes and the impact of their programming. In recent years, federal agencies have placed …

Transnational Criminal Law Or The Transnational Legal Ordering Of Corruption?, Radha Ivory
Transnational Criminal Law Or The Transnational Legal Ordering Of Corruption?, Radha Ivory
UC Irvine Journal of International, Transnational, and Comparative Law
To date, “transnational criminal law” has been the dominant
paradigm for explaining and mapping rules on corruption in the
international legal literature. Transnational criminal law is presented as a
system of law descending from multilateral crime control treaties or a field or
order that emerges through international political processes of regime
formation. Transnational criminal lawyers identify and describe cross-border
legal rules, and seek to evaluate them against liberal norms of democratic
governance and individual civil and political human rights. This Article
details the limits of transnational criminal conceptions of “anticorruption”
through a study of proposed changes to Australian laws on …

Legal Instruments Of State Practice And International Initiatives Undertaken To Fight Corruption In The Banking And Financial Sector, N. D. Nodirxonova
International Relations: Politics, Economics, Law
In this article we analyze the legal aspects of leading international experience in countering corruption in bank and financial sectors. It must be noted that these issues have gained even more importance given the universal character of corruption related criminal activities. The trans-boundary character of this kind of crimes makes it significant to properly study and learn foreign expertise in the sphere. Having analyzed experience of various countries we have come up with relevant conclusions, regarding institutional base, legal tools, involvement of civil society actors, significance of transparency and etc.
Promises Unfulfilled: How Investment Arbitration Tribunals Mishandle Corruption Claims And Undermine International Development, Andrew T. Bulovsky
Promises Unfulfilled: How Investment Arbitration Tribunals Mishandle Corruption Claims And Undermine International Development, Andrew T. Bulovsky
Michigan Law Review
In recent years, the investment-arbitration and anti-corruption regimes have been in tension. Investment tribunals have jurisdiction to arbitrate disputes between investors and host states under international treaties that provide substantive protections for private investments. But these tribunals will typically decline to exercise jurisdiction over a dispute if the host state asserts that corruption tainted the investment. When tribunals close their doors to ag-grieved investors, tribunals increase the risks for investors and thus raise the cost of international investment. At the same time, the decision to decline jurisdiction creates a perverse incentive for host states to turn a blind eye to …

The Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) came into possession of a secret dataset of property owners of the Palm Islands, the elite high-end artificial islands on the coast of Dubai.
With over 250 neighborhoods on Dubai’s waterfront, a group of journalists around the world has been investigating who these individuals are that can afford the posh and pricey real estate. While most fall into the uber-rich category, some also have corrupt to criminal backgrounds leading to questions such as if the Palm Islands are truly a real-estate paradise, or instead a refuge for the corrupt.

Brazil's Olympic-Era Anti-Corruption Reforms, Andrew B. Spalding
Brazil's Olympic-Era Anti-Corruption Reforms, Andrew B. Spalding
Law Faculty Publications
A country once renowned for glorifying corruption now leads what may be the furthest-reaching anti-corruption investigation in history. Brazil, once typified by its "Brazilian jeitinho" way of creatively navigating social problems,' now executes "Operation Car Wash," bringing down political and business leaders by the dozens. So too has Brazil's Congress adopted a series of dramatic, and effective, new anti-corruption laws, in response to public outcries for reform. It is deeply ironic, but not at all coincidental, that Brazil concurrently hosted the Summer Olympics. This paper chronicles the extraordinary series of events that connect - in a line that is straight …

Is There A Right To Be Free From Corruption?, Anita Ramasastry
Is There A Right To Be Free From Corruption?, Anita Ramasastry
Articles
Scholars and policymakers have, for some time, focused on the link between corruption and human rights. This has been to illustrate that corruption is not a victimless crime. While this has publicized the impact of corruption on individuals and on society, it has not changed the lack of political will to prosecute many instances of corruption. Thus citizens often stand by as their leaders plunder national treasuries. Rather than focusing solely on human rights, or trying to create a new “human right” to be free from corruption, this article explores the right to a legal remedy for victims of corruption …
Enforcing The Fcpa: International Resonance And Domestic Strategy, Rachel Brewster
Enforcing The Fcpa: International Resonance And Domestic Strategy, Rachel Brewster
Faculty Scholarship
The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”), which bans corporations from offering bribes to foreign government officials, was enacted during the Watergate era’s crackdown on political corruption but remained only weakly enforced for its first two decades. American industry argued that the law created an uneven playing field in global commerce, which made robust enforcement politically unpopular. This Article documents how the executive branch strategically under- enforced the FCPA, while Congress and the President pushed for an international agreement that would bind other countries to rules similar to those of the United States. The Article establishes that U.S. officials ramped up …
