Indonesia Law Review

Various investment agreements are signed to facilitate and promote investments. These instruments …

University of Cincinnati Law Review

There is a puzzle in the field of international investment law: many negotiating countries fail to complete their International Investment Agreements (“IIA”) and postpone the renegotiations for completion as well. The literature on IIAs has neglected to consider the existence, causes, and solutions of this phenomenon. This study employs the incomplete contract theory to explain the causes and solutions surrounding this phenomenon.

Indonesia Law Review

The Application Of The Right To Be Forgotten In The Machine Learning Context: From The Perspective Of European Laws, Zeyu Zhao

Catholic University Journal of Law and Technology

The right to be forgotten has been evolving for decades along with the progress of different statutes and cases and, finally, independently enacted by the General Data Protection Regulation, making it widely applied across Europe. However, the related provisions in the regulation fail to enable machine learning systems to realistically forget the personal information which is stored and processed therein.

This failure is not only because existing European rules do not stipulate standard codes of conduct and corresponding responsibilities for the parties involved, but they also cannot accommodate themselves to the new environment of machine learning, where specific information can …

Personal Insolvency In China: Necessities, Difficulties, And Possibilities, Rebecca Parry, Haizheng Zhang, Jiahui Fu

Brooklyn Journal of International Law

There has long been demand for personal insolvency laws in China, yet such laws have hitherto been unavailable, in part due to ideological resistance. In more recent years there has been an increase in borrowing by individuals, which has led to increased calls for honest but unfortunate debtors to be able to obtain a fresh start. Yet there is significant public mistrust of defaulting debtors and in particular there is a shadow cast by those termed the Lao Lai that has led many to question the desirability of such a reform. There has also been a need for change in …

Foreign Direct Investment Negara Kamboja, Amanda Julia

"Dharmasisya” Jurnal Program Magister Hukum FHUI

Investment is divided into 2 (two), namely direct investment or commonly known as foreign direct investment and foreign indirect investment. Foreign direct investment provides benefits for a country that applies it, namely increasing socio-economic development, reducing poverty and transferring technology. Of the many benefits of foreign direct investment, it certainly provides a big benefit for developing countries such as Cambodia. The Cambodian Investment Law of 1994 establishes an open and liberal foreign investment regime. All sectors of the economy are open to foreign investment and the government allows 100 percent foreign ownership of companies in most sectors. In order to …

International Commercial Courts In The United States And Australia: Possible, Probable, Preferable?, S. I. Strong

Faculty Articles

As worldwide interest in international commercial courts grows, questions arise as to whether individual nations can or should seek to compete in the “litigation market” by developing their own cross-border business courts. This essay compares the prospects of the United States and Australia in this regard, focusing on whether it is possible (Section II), probable (Section III), and preferable (Section IV) for one or both of these two federalized, common law nations to develop an international commercial court as part of their national judicial systems. The inquiry is particularly intriguing given that one country (the United States) has had a …
