Corruption In International Arbitration, Inan Uluc Apr 2016

Corruption In International Arbitration, Inan Uluc

SJD Dissertations

Corruption represents a great menace to national and international development. It jeopardizes democracy, human rights, and social justice. Consequently, corruption is vehemently abhorred and denunciated by members of the international arbitration arena. Unfortunately, while these players purport repugnance towards corruption and do not condone corrupt acts, there has arisen a misplaced distrust of arbitral process as a proper dispute resolution system. Further, when amalgamating the inherent opaqueness of the arbitral process, its structure founded upon party autonomy, and the clear lack of authority for arbitrators to compel evidence, such distrust persists and encourages belief that arbitration is a venue where …

Effects Of International Judgments Relating To Awards, Maxi Scherer Apr 2016

Effects Of International Judgments Relating To Awards, Maxi Scherer

Pepperdine Law Review

This Article looks at those judgments relating to international arbitral awards (award judgments) and, more precisely, at their extraterritorial effects. It analyzes whether an award judgment rendered in one jurisdiction has effects in other jurisdictions. For instance, if the award has been set aside6 in country A, does the set-aside judgment have effects on enforcement proceedings in country B? Similarly, if country C refuses to enforce an award on the basis that the tribunal has no jurisdiction, does this have a preclusive effect on enforcement proceedings pending in country D? These questions have been addressed in a number of recent …


Bg Group And "Conditions" To Arbitral Jurisdiction, Alan Scott Rau, Andrea K. Bjorklund Apr 2016

Bg Group And "Conditions" To Arbitral Jurisdiction, Alan Scott Rau, Andrea K. Bjorklund

Pepperdine Law Review

Although the Supreme Court has over the last decade generated a robust body of arbitration caselaw, its first decision in the area of investment arbitration under a Bilateral Investment Treaty was only handed down in 2014. BG Group v. Argentina was widely anticipated and has attracted much notice, and general approval, on the part of the arbitration community. In this paper we assess the Court’s decision from two different perspectives -- the first attempts to situate it in the discourse of the American law of commercial arbitration; the second considers it in light of the expectations of the international community …

Introduction: International Arbitration And The Courts, Donald Earl Childress Iii, Jack J. Coe Jr., Lacey L. Estudillo

Pepperdine Law Review

What role do national courts play in international arbitration? Is international arbitration an “autonomous dispute resolution process, governed primarily by non-national rules and accepted international commercial rules and practices” where the influence of national courts is merely secondary? Or, in light of the fact that “international arbitration always operates in the shadow of national courts,” is it not more accurate to say that national courts and international arbitration act in partnership? On April 17, 2015, the Pepperdine Law Review convened a group of distinguished authorities from international practice and academia to discuss these and other related issues for a symposium …

Periodic Review In Natural Resource Contracts, Jacky Mandelbaum, Salli Anne Swartz, John Hauert Mar 2016

Periodic Review In Natural Resource Contracts, Jacky Mandelbaum, Salli Anne Swartz, John Hauert

Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment Staff Publications

Periodic contract review mechanisms, which are provisions in contracts that formally require parties to meet at particular intervals to review the terms of the contract, are mechanisms that may facilitate the process of negotiating contractual changes to accommodate changing circumstances over the term of extractive industries contracts. Through the review of existing extractive industries agreements, this article considers how such review mechanisms have been incorporated into existing contracts and the use of such mechanisms as a tool for maintaining good relationships between the parties. In addition, the article suggests a new approach to the drafting of these mechanisms by negotiating …


Emerging Practices In Community Development Agreements, Jennifer Loutit, Jacqueline Mandelbaum, Sam Szoke-Burke Mar 2016

Emerging Practices In Community Development Agreements, Jennifer Loutit, Jacqueline Mandelbaum, Sam Szoke-Burke

Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment Staff Publications

Community Development Agreements (CDAs) have the potential to facilitate the delivery of tangible benefits from large-scale investment projects, such as mines or forestry concessions, to affected persons and communities. To be effective, however, CDAs must be adapted to the local context, meaning that no single model agreement or process will be appropriate in every situation. Nonetheless, leading practices are emerging which can be required by governments, voluntarily adopted by companies, and demanded by communities. These practices are grounded in ensuring that all parties are sufficiently informed, capacitated, and prepared to engage in meaningful negotiations regarding how the investor’s operations should …

The Outsized Costs Of Investor–State Dispute Settlement, Lise Johnson, Lisa E. Sachs Feb 2016

The Outsized Costs Of Investor–State Dispute Settlement, Lise Johnson, Lisa E. Sachs

Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment Staff Publications

The negotiation of several mega-treaties in 2015, including the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), the EU-Canada Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), and other regional agreements, has generated substantial public discussion about the protections and privileges afforded to multinational enterprises through the investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) mechanism in these treaties. ISDS has increasingly raised concerns among certain governments and civil society groups, particularly as a growing number of ISDS cases involve investors challenging a range of governmental measures taken in good faith and in the public interest, including measures related to environmental protection, public health …


Promotion Of Green Electricity And International Dispute Settlement: Trade And Investment Issues, Sherzod Shadikhodjaev Jan 2016

Promotion Of Green Electricity And International Dispute Settlement: Trade And Investment Issues, Sherzod Shadikhodjaev

The International Lawyer

The issue of greater utilization of renewables in energy supply-mix has become a priority environmental agenda in many countries. Feed-in incentives, quota schemes, public tenders and net metering are common support programmes that are designed to encourage the production and consumption of electricity generated from renewable energy sources. Promotion policies of this kind have provoked a number of international disputes at both global and regional levels. This article examines disputes brought to the World Trade Organization (WTO), the Court of Justice of the European Union (“Court of Justice”) and investor-state tribunals, and explores some intersectional implications and comparisons for the …

Regional International Criminal Courts: An Idea Whose Time Has Come?, Firew Kebede Tiba Jan 2016

Regional International Criminal Courts: An Idea Whose Time Has Come?, Firew Kebede Tiba

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

Regionalism in international relations is a fact of life. Regional judicial implementation of international norms is relatively common in the fields of international human rights, international investment, and trade laws. There are attempts to break ground in the realm of international criminal law by creating a regional international criminal court, such as the proposed addition of the criminal jurisdiction to the African Court of Justice and Human Rights. Although there was momentum in creating a universal permanent international criminal court, the enthusiasm for the tribunal's exercise of jurisdiction has not continued. The International Criminal Court ("ICC") will remain short of …


Realizing Rationality: An Empirical Assessment Of International Commercial Mediation, S. I. Strong Jan 2016

Realizing Rationality: An Empirical Assessment Of International Commercial Mediation, S. I. Strong

Faculty Publications

For decades, parties, practitioners and policymakers have believed arbitration to be the best if not only realistic means of resolving cross-border business disputes. However, the hegemony of international commercial and investment arbitration is currently being challenged in light of rising concerns about increasing formalism in arbitration. As a result, the international community has sought to identify other ways of resolving these types of complex commercial matters, with mediation reflecting the most viable option. Numerous public and private entities have launched initiatives to encourage mediation in international commercial and investment disputes, and the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) …


An Innovative Matrix For Dispute Resolution: The Dubai World Tribunal And The Global Insolvency Crisis, Jayanth K. Krishnan, Harold Koster Jan 2016

An Innovative Matrix For Dispute Resolution: The Dubai World Tribunal And The Global Insolvency Crisis, Jayanth K. Krishnan, Harold Koster

Articles by Maurer Faculty

This study examines a legal experiment that occurred during the height of the global financial crisis. As markets from the United States to Europe to the Global South shook, one country – the United Arab Emirates – found itself on the brink of economic collapse. In particular, in 2009 the U.A.E’s Emirate of Dubai was contemplating defaulting on $60 billion of debt it had amassed. Recognizing that such a default would have cataclysmic reverberations across the globe, Dubai’s governmental leaders turned to a small group of foreign lawyers, judges, accountants, and business consultants for assistance. Working in a coordinated fashion, …


Athletes Have Rights Too, Right? Investigating The Extreme Unfairness In Sports' Purported Supreme Authority - Why The International Court Of Arbitration For Sport Fails To Reign Supreme, Zachary Gotlib Jan 2016

Athletes Have Rights Too, Right? Investigating The Extreme Unfairness In Sports' Purported Supreme Authority - Why The International Court Of Arbitration For Sport Fails To Reign Supreme, Zachary Gotlib

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The note argues that the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), despite its role as a leading body in international sports dispute resolution, fails to achieve true supremacy due to systemic unfairness. CAS lacks key principles of fairness, particularly in its treatment of individual athletes compared to powerful entities like teams and leagues, hindering its ability to be recognized as a supreme judicial body.


The War On American Diplomacy: Isis, Al-Qaeda, And Taliban's Sustained Attacks On Peaceful U.S. Missions Abroad, Justus Reid Weiner Jan 2016

The War On American Diplomacy: Isis, Al-Qaeda, And Taliban's Sustained Attacks On Peaceful U.S. Missions Abroad, Justus Reid Weiner

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

According to the American Foreign Service Association, seventy-six U.S. diplomats were killed between the years of 1973 and 2013 during peaceful missions abroad, amounting to over forty deaths. These diplomats were beacons of peace in their respective regions, maintaining peaceful relations amongst each other's countries and mitigating conflict without the use of violence. Continued attacks on diplomats are a demonstration of violence not only against them as individuals, but against peace around the globe. The most obvious way to resolve this conflict is to acknowledge the innumerous terror attacks that have taken place and take active steps to resolve the …
