Recent Developments In Copyright Protection For Computer Software In The United States And Japan, Yutaka Nakamura Jul 1993

Recent Developments In Copyright Protection For Computer Software In The United States And Japan, Yutaka Nakamura

Washington International Law Journal

Many current legal issues pertaining to copyright of computer software involve defining the scope of protection of non-literal expression, such as "user interface" and "look and feel," in contrast to literal expression, such as "source code," to which ownership may be more clearly attributed. Superficially, it appears that the case law pertaining to non-literal expression is developing differently in Japan and the United States. This comment demonstrates that, however, while Japanese and U.S. courts have been applying formally different analytical criteria, the decisions of both have been similar in seeking equity-oriented solutions.


Japanese Official Development Assistance And Energy Efficiency Projects, John Briggs Jul 1993

Japanese Official Development Assistance And Energy Efficiency Projects, John Briggs

Washington International Law Journal

This comment examines the likelihood that the Japanese government will promote investments in energy efficiency programs in the developing world with funding from its Official Development Assistance (ODA). The Japanese Prime Minister has stated that Japan will support the promotion of sustainable development in the developing world, primarily through disbursements of its ODA funds. The need to promote investments in energy efficiency projects in the developing world is widely accepted by proponents of sustainable development. However, the likelihood that Japan will replace its current ODA energy program, which targets investments in energy generation, with a program that promotes investments in …


Indigenous People: An American Perspective On The Case For Entrenchment Of Maori Rights In New Zealand Law, Jeanette Jameson Jul 1993

Indigenous People: An American Perspective On The Case For Entrenchment Of Maori Rights In New Zealand Law, Jeanette Jameson

Washington International Law Journal

The 1840 Treaty of Waitangi, signed by representatives of the British Crown and Maori Tribes, created a partnership that allowed colonization of New Zealand while protecting the Maori culture. The Treaty was declared a "nullity" in an 1877 court decision, and Maori rights under the Treaty have yet to be fully realized. Since the beginning of the 1970s, the New Zealand government has increasingly recognized the Maori culture. This Comment explores the history of the relationship between the Maori people and the New Zealand government. It analyzes current government policy on Maori issues. Fimally, it advocates for legislative entrenchment of …


The Korean Reconciliation Treaty And The German Basic Treaty: Comparable Foundations For Unification?, Derek J. Vanderwood Jul 1993

The Korean Reconciliation Treaty And The German Basic Treaty: Comparable Foundations For Unification?, Derek J. Vanderwood

Washington International Law Journal

With the end of the Cold War, the North-South Korean relationship has been the focus of increasing attention in the international community. In 1991, after years of tense and hostile relations, the two states adopted the Korean Reconciliation Treaty. To assess the prospects for successful reunification of the two Koreas through the Treaty, this comment compares it with the German Basic Treaty of 1984, which promotes similar goals of reunification of divided states. The comparison shows that the German Treaty has been more successful in facilitating unification, due largely to its relative flexibility in implementation. This comment proposes that the …

The Application Of The International Covenant On Civil And Political Rights To Hong Kong, Geping Rao Jun 1993

The Application Of The International Covenant On Civil And Political Rights To Hong Kong, Geping Rao

Washington International Law Journal

As a dependency of the United Kingdom, Hong Kong is ineligible to ratify international agreements such as the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. The United Kingdom ratified the ICCPR and in so doing extended it to Hong Kong, with certain reservations. Full implementation of the ICCPR in Hong Kong requires that it be incorporated into domestic law, however. That was accomplished in 1991 with the passage of the Hong Kong Bill of Rights. This Article discusses the incorporation of the ICCPR into Hong Kong law via the Hong Kong Bill of Rights and the Basic Law, and proposes …


Introduction To The Financial System And Securities & Exchange System Reform Act In Japan, Hiroshi Naka, Akio Nakamura, Atsushi Yamashita, Scott Siegler Jun 1993

Introduction To The Financial System And Securities & Exchange System Reform Act In Japan, Hiroshi Naka, Akio Nakamura, Atsushi Yamashita, Scott Siegler

Washington International Law Journal

This translation of an original Japanese language work, by Hiroshi Naka and Akio Nakamura, both of the Japanese Ministry of Finance, details the reforms of Japan's financial and securities & exchange system made under the recently enacted System Reform Act. The major reforms under the Act include: (1) altering the "Glass Steagall" rule (the separation of securities business and banking business) in Japan so that banks and securities companies can engage in each other's business through their subsidiaries; (2) extending securities regulations to some new types of structured finance; (3) amending public offering provisions and providing new articles for private …


Juduicial Power & Illusion: The Republic Of China's Council Of Grand Justices And Constitutional Interpretation, F. Fraser Mendel Jun 1993

Juduicial Power & Illusion: The Republic Of China's Council Of Grand Justices And Constitutional Interpretation, F. Fraser Mendel

Washington International Law Journal

The Republic of China underwent a rapid political transformation from an authoritarian nation to a democratic state which required change at every level of the government. The ROC's Council of Grand Justices has contributed to this period of reform through a number of constitutional interpretations which have resulted in greater individual liberties and further restrictions on government actions. This has been accomplished even though the Council operates against substantive and procedural limitations on its powers. A review of these Council interpretations from the past decade reveals that the Council has made steady inroads towards fulfilling its role as the supreme …


Thailand's State Enterprise Labor Relations Act: Denying Public Employees The Right Of Association And The Right To Organize And Bargain Collectively, Kelly A. Doelman Jun 1993

Thailand's State Enterprise Labor Relations Act: Denying Public Employees The Right Of Association And The Right To Organize And Bargain Collectively, Kelly A. Doelman

Washington International Law Journal

On April 15, 1991, Thailand's new legislative body enacted the State Enterprise Labor Relations Act, removing public employees from the dominion of the Labor Relations Act and dissolving the existing public labor unions. This Act has had a crippling effect on the entire Thai labor movement, which historically relied on the leadership and influence of public unions to promote private industry worker interests. This Comment argues that the State Enterprise Labor Relations Act contains many provisions which violate internationally accepted labor standards, specifically the right of association and the right to organize and bargain collectively. This Comment further asserts that …
