The legal system of Pakistan represents a fusion of the Shariah law and common law systems. Traditionally, the Pakistani legal system adapted the pre-1947 colonial law for local use. Amendments to these colonial laws, in particular inspired by the Islamic traditions, have been interspersed in intervals. As a result, the Pakistan legal system retains fundamental common law doctrines (such as binding precedent and delegated legislation) while gradually integrating laws of Islamic origin within the existing common law framework.

Umair H. Ghori
The author presents substantial case studies of the effect of the abolition of quotas on global trade in this sector.

The paper argues that remedies available under WTO law are of limited scope and at the most would play only a supplementary role to investment arbitration. The …

This book presents original paths for reconsidering the trade and development relationship at the World Trade Organization taking into account both the heritage of the trade regime and present dynamics. It presents a detailed legal analysis of WTO law relating to development, considering both specific trade rules and institutional features of the WTO.

As a forward-looking matter, the book presents a menu of options towards a more functional balance of trade liberalization and the development imperatives of many WTO members. This includes …
