Judicial Reform In Afghanistan: A Case Study In The New Criminal Procedure Code, Faiz Ahmed
Judicial Reform In Afghanistan: A Case Study In The New Criminal Procedure Code, Faiz Ahmed
UC Law SF International Law Review
On January 4, 2004, the Islamic Transitional State of Afghanistan ratified a constitution. While lauded by many, a number of its articles have stirred debate within Afghanistan. Using the country's new criminal procedure code as a case study, the author addresses key questions pertaining to legal reform and development movements, including the foreign imposition of law, a lack of local participation in legal reform processes, and a blindness to the multiple layers of indigenous law practiced on the ground. The author concludes that these are all weaknesses that will fundamentally hamper the rebuilding of stable legal institutions in Afghanistan in …

Who Gets The Better Deal?: A Comparison Of The U.S. And English Infancy Doctrines, Simon Goodfellow
UC Law SF International Law Review
In both the United States and England, rights and liabilities under contract law are different for minors than for adults. The author compares and contrasts the current infancy doctrines of England and the United States and evaluates which country favors which party over the other and the repercussions of this choice. The author concludes that a majority of American states strongly favor the interests of the minor. Although a minority of American states, and England, strike more of a balance between the interests of the minor and adult merchants acting in good faith, the increased activity and sophistication of minors …

Bank Insolvency Regimes In The United States And The United Kingdom, Heidi Mandanis Schooner
Bank Insolvency Regimes In The United States And The United Kingdom, Heidi Mandanis Schooner
Scholarly Articles
Bank insolvency regimes vary widely. First, many countries maintain separate bank insolvency rules from those that govern insolvency of other firms or individuals. Other countries have no special regime and rely on their general insolvency law for bank closure. Second, some countries rely on an administrative process for bank closure in which the bank supervisor, bank insurer, or other agency has the power to appoint the conservator or receiver, and, in some instances, may appoint itself to the job. Other countries rely on a judicial process in which the bank supervisor (or bank managers or creditors) must apply to the …

Legal Frameworks For Economic Transition In Iraq – Occupation Under The Law Of War Vs. Global Governance Under The Law Of Peace, Antonio F. Perez
Scholarly Articles
After over a decade as the ruling conventional wisdom under the rubric of the so-called Washington Consensus, the prospect of reconstruction and development through fiscal austerity, privatization and liberalization of markets is under considerable attack today from many quarters. One common theme of these challenges-to what has been received wisdom-focuses not on the technical characteristics of development, but rather its connection to political development.

Aboriginal Title And Extinguishment Not So "Clear And Plain": A Comparison Of The Current Maori And Haida Experiences, Jacqueline F. Pruner
Washington International Law Journal
As the end of the United Nations General Assembly's International Decade of the World's Indigenous Peoples (1995-2004) approaches, indigenous peoples worldwide are proactively seeking an unprecedented reclamation of aboriginal rights lost since European colonization. One of the most all-encompassing rights that is asserted by indigenous peoples is the right of "indigenous title," a legal term of art that is both difficult to define and challenging to recognize. Notwithstanding domestic opposition from their respective provincial or national legislatures, both the Haida of Canada and the Maori of New Zealand are currently pursuing recognition of this indigenous right through their respective judiciaries. …
Treading Deep Waters: Substantive Law Issues In Tuvalu's Threat To Sue The United States In The International Court Of Justice, Rebecca Elizabeth Jacobs
Treading Deep Waters: Substantive Law Issues In Tuvalu's Threat To Sue The United States In The International Court Of Justice, Rebecca Elizabeth Jacobs
Washington International Law Journal
In 2002, in response to the United States' refusal to ratify the Kyoto Protocol, the Pacific island nation of Tuvalu, vulnerable to submersion due to the rising sea level, threatened to bring a lawsuit against the United States in the International Court of Justice for damages to its island. Outside of various jurisdictional issues that may preempt the suit, Tuvalu's suit will likely have a number of substantive law problems. Tuvalu must show not only that the United States is unlawfully causing the island damage, but also that it has a right to future damages that have yet to occur. …
Why Tobacco Litigation Has Not Been Successful In The United Kingdom: A Comparative Analysis Of Tobacco Litigation In The United States And The United Kingdom, Andrei Sirabionian
Why Tobacco Litigation Has Not Been Successful In The United Kingdom: A Comparative Analysis Of Tobacco Litigation In The United States And The United Kingdom, Andrei Sirabionian
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
Litigation against tobacco companies, about smoking-related diseases, is novel outside of the United States. While in the past two decades U.S. courts have handed down costly verdicts against tobacco companies, European courts have not been as willing to rule against the tobacco industry. European courts have been much more reluctant to award damages to individuals with smoking related diseases or their families. As a result, courts outside the United States have not handed down major decisions against tobacco companies.
The Use Of International Accounting Standards In The European Union, Alexander Schaub
The Use Of International Accounting Standards In The European Union, Alexander Schaub
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
2005 is a watershed year for the application of International Accounting Standards (1ASs) in the European Union. From the first of January this year, all listed European companies must prepare their consolidated accounts using IASs or International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs). This requirement represents a quantum leap in the use of a single consistent set of accounting standards for capital markets in the European Union.
The Japanese Issues And Perspective On The Convergence Of International Accounting Standards, Mitsuru Misawa
The Japanese Issues And Perspective On The Convergence Of International Accounting Standards, Mitsuru Misawa
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
Japan is negotiating diligently with the European Union and is asking for its approval of the Japanese accounting standard as an equivalent to the IFRSs. If the Japanese accounting standard fails to be recognized as an equivalent of the IFRSs, disclosure by Japanese companies based on the Japanese accounting standard currently in the European Union would not be allowed. This would severely affect the financing activities of Japanese companies seeking to raise funds in the European Union. Japanese corporations are also concerned about the possibility that Japanese accounting standards could be branded as inferior to the European or U.S. Accounting …
