Reconciling U.S. Disclosure Policy With International Accounting And Disclosure Standards, David S. Ruder
Reconciling U.S. Disclosure Policy With International Accounting And Disclosure Standards, David S. Ruder
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
In November of 1988, at a Melbourne, Australia meeting of the International Association of Securities Commissioners (IOSCO), the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) released a policy statement entitled "Regulation of the International Securities Markets."' The statement identified three broad areas of regulation that should be addressed in an effective international securities mar- ket regulatory system: efficient structures, sound disclosure systems, and fair and honest markets. The Commission stated that: "To achieve those objectives, securities regulators in each nation should work closely with their foreign counterparts and seek coordinated in- ternational solutions to world market problems."2 Significantly, the SEC …

Judicial Complicity With Communal Violence In India, Sara Ahmad
Judicial Complicity With Communal Violence In India, Sara Ahmad
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
Communal violence - or violence between groups which define themselves by their differences from each other' - is one of the fore- most human rights problems today.2 But the violence of the past 20 years differs from that of previous decades. Responsibility for current sectarian violence lies not with specific extremist groups but with gov- ernments which leverage inter-group hatred to gain power.3 Such sys- temic sources of communal violence threaten basic principles of democratic government and non-discrimination.4 Present-day communal violence originates in identity politics.5 Identity politics stress the group nature of rights, experience and iden- tity, whether based on …

Iosco: Its Mission And Achievement, A.A. Jr. Sommer
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
The origins of the International Organization of Securities Com- missions (IOSCO) lie in the Americas. In 1974, nations of the West- em Hemisphere, largely under the leadership of the United States, organized the InterAmerican Association of Securities Commissions to provide a forum for consideration of securities regulation matters of common interest and to assist capital formation in the Western Hemisphere. Nine years later the organization transformed itself into a world-wide organization and was incorporated by an act of the Que- bec Parliament as a non-profit corporation under Quebec law. A sec- retariat was established in Montreal, a recognition of the …

The Dangerous Extraterritoriality Of American Securities Law, Stephen J. Choi, Andrew T. Guzman
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
The capital markets within the United States are among the larg- est in the world. Today, the combined volume of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), American Stock Exchange (AMEX) and Nasdaq market system reaches approximately $4 trillion dollars annually.' With the size of the U.S. markets has come an understandable pride in the success of the American regulatory system.2 Possessing one of the most complex and intricate of regimes, the regulatory system in the United States, as administered and monitored by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), is often praised.3 Not surprisingly, perhaps, the United States has frequently attempted …
U.S. Legal Considerations Affecting Global Offerings Of Shares In Foreign Companies, Daniel A. Braverman
U.S. Legal Considerations Affecting Global Offerings Of Shares In Foreign Companies, Daniel A. Braverman
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
The 1980s witnessed the emergence of so-called "global" equity offerings as part of the increasing internationalization of the world's capital markets. An equity offering can be said to be "global" when it involves simultaneous offerings of shares in a number of countries, one or more of which may be made to the public in accordance with the regulations of national markets. The capital markets of the United States can be included in a global equity offering in one of two ways: (1) shares may be offered to the public in accordance with the registration and disclosure requirements of the U.S. …

The Absence Of Cross-Cultural Communication: Sec Mandatory Disclosure And Foreign Corporate Governance, James A. Fanto
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
U.S. corporate law scholars have recently recognized that, even in developed Western countries, there have been different solutions to the classic agency problem,1 arguably the primary focus of corporate law that governs the relationship between owners and managers in the large public corporations which are so important in the world econ- omy.2 Scholars have also acknowledged that these solutions, which fall under the general heading of corporate governance,3 do not arise solely from the evolution of some fundamental economic order or logic, but are shaped by social, political and, more generally, cultural forces, often unique to a particular country.
In Search Of A Standard: "Serious Damage" In The Agreement On Textiles And Clothing, John M. Jennings
In Search Of A Standard: "Serious Damage" In The Agreement On Textiles And Clothing, John M. Jennings
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
The U.S. textile and apparel industries employed approximately two and a half million people in 1950.1 Since then, the industries have lost close to one million jobs, of which 857,000 have been lost since 1970.2 Competition from imported goods has contributed significantly to the decline.' Now the U.S. textile and apparel industries face the specter of accelerated job loss due to the "Agreement on Textiles and Clothing" (ATC)4 - a product of the Uruguay Round of GATT negotiations5 - which calls for the phasing out of import quota limitations in the textile and apparel industries.

The Law Of Sustainable Development, Nicholas A. Robinson
The Law Of Sustainable Development, Nicholas A. Robinson
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
I am going to talk briefly, as dictated by the format of this seminar, about the law of sustainable development and how it has been developing. Sustainable development is, today, the guiding theme for both public and private measures to improve social conditions and strengthen economic conditions around the world. It did not become a guiding theme overnight. The recognition that sustainable development is fundamental has been growing gradually. The concept recognizes that the sort of development that was popular in the 1960s and 1970s in the United States of America and elsewhere was, by itself, an inadequate base on …

Defensively Invoking Treaties In American Courts--Jurisdictional Challenges Under The U.N. Drug Trafficking Convention By Foreign Defendants Kidnapped Abroad By U.S. Agents, Thomas Michael Mcdonnell
Defensively Invoking Treaties In American Courts--Jurisdictional Challenges Under The U.N. Drug Trafficking Convention By Foreign Defendants Kidnapped Abroad By U.S. Agents, Thomas Michael Mcdonnell
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
This Article unravels the non-self-executing treaty doctrine, examines the invocation of a treaty as a defense to governmental action, and develops a test for when an individual (rather than a government) may assert a treaty defensively in state or federal courts. Lastly, this Article applies this test to state-sponsored kidnapping and the U.N. Convention Against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances. The parties to this treaty, which was sponsored by the United States, barred one country's law enforcement agents from operating without permission on another country's soil and rejected a provision requiring a country to extradite its own …

Schrodinger’S Cat, Eugenics, And The Compulsory Sterilization Of Welfare Mothers: Deconstructing An Old/New Rhetoric And Constructing The Reproductive Right To Natality For Low-Income Women Of Color, Beverly Horsburgh
Cardozo Law Review
In Part I of this Article, I briefly trace the history of racism, sexism, and class bias in western scientific thought as well as the legal consequences that ensued in this country from scientific prejudice. In Part II, I turn to eugenics in our own time and explore the sterilization abuse of poor women of color as a disguised form of eugenics. I argue that the lack of popular sympathy for the reproductive problems of these women, due to their negative dehumanizing stereotyping and the pervasive influence of sociobiology, facilitates public acceptance of harsher measures in the future. I refer, …

The United Kingdom, The European Court Of Human Rights, And Constitutional Review, A. W. Bradley
Cardozo Law Review
The aim of this Article is to consider whether there is now in the United Kingdom the embryo of a procedure for constitutional review that results from the United Kingdom's adherence to the European Convention on Human Rights as well as the burgeoning case law being developed by the European Court of Human Rights. To the extent that such an embryo exists, I hope to show that this is a development which has not been directly willed by the United Kingdom Parliament, nor by successive United Kingdom governments. Assuming that this process deserves to be described as piecemeal constitution making, …

Scholarly Works
The principal purpose of the Colloquium, as can be seen from the great attention given to the papers presented by the second panel, was to discuss the uses of customary international human rights law in the defense of human rights before national courts. More generally, these discussions focused on the effectiveness of customary international human rights rules in influencing legislative and policy-making, administrative decisions and, particularly, judicial adjudication, at international and national levels. The initial and wider question of the feasibility of using custom as a source of human rights rules formed the underlying aspects of the debates in the …

Sources Of International Law, Louis B. Sohn

To summarize, States can agree on international law begin made in any way they wish. Once they agree on a method, the matter is over. As I have pointed out, every few y ears we invent a new method; there is no end to ingenuity of human beings. by the year 2000, there might be one or two more methods. We are still applying the 19th century rule that international law is made by the community of states, but in every generation the community has been able to invent new methods for crystallizing international law. We finally have accepted the …
