Extending Extraterritorial Accomodations In Foreign Insolvency Proceedings, Joseph J. Wielebinski

Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce

The Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978 (Bankruptcy Code)2 provided a flexible means to achieve an economic and efficient administration of creditors' claims and debtors' assets in foreign insolvency proceedings, while recognizing well-established principles of international law. Moreover, if implemented properly, the Bankruptcy Code provisions can effectively address the increasingly complex issues arising in foreign bankruptcy proceedings.

Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce

Since the 1960's, the vulnerability, visibility, and mobility of the aircraft has made it a favorite target for terrorists. 6 As a result, the airlines, as well as the innocent civilian victims, are forced to "pay the price" in the terrorists war against civilized society.

Air carrier liability for injuries to passengers on international

flights is governed by the Warsaw Convention, as modified by the Montreal Agreement. The articles of the Warsaw Convention attempt to regulate international air carrier liability in a uniform manner by establishing a presumption of liability, by limiting liability, and by establishing defenses against liability.

International Terrorism And The Problem Of Jurisdiction, Sompong Sucharitkul

Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce

Problems of pluri-dimensional complexity of definition, classification and norm-formulation converge in any meaningful endeavor to explore practical measures to prevent, preempt or otherwise to discourage and suppress acts of terrorism on an international scene. The present study is devoted to the treatment of only one of these problems, namely, the problem of jurisdiction. This problem presents itself in more than one connection. To ensure proper appreciation of the nature and scope of the multi-faceted problem of jurisdiction in the context of international terrorism, preliminary attention is focused on the need to adopt a balanced approach to the basic notion of …

Developing Countries Are Undermining Corporate America's Capacity To Market Its Creativity: A Call For A Reasoned Solution By The United States Government In Light Of The Continuing Deterioration Of The International Trademark System., Raymer Mcquiston

Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce

There is a growing crisis among international trademark owners over the protection afforded international trademarks in developing countries. American companies face increasingly restrictive foreign barriers on trademark use.

Abandoning The Deference Rule In Itc Interpretations Of The Antidumping Duty Law, Kevin C. Kennedy

Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce

In this article, I undertake a similar review of three recent Federal Circuit opinions involving an interpretation of the antidumping duty statute by the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC). In two instances,7 the CAFC upheld the ITC's statutory interpretation of the antidumping duty law; in the third decision, the court rejected the ITC's view. In this article, I argue that in the two cases where the Federal Circuit sustained the ITC's interpretation of the antidumping duty law, the court conducted an independent review, notwithstanding its purported deference to the Commission's expertise. In the third case, Bingham & Taylor Div., Virginia …

Profile Of A Terrorist: Distinguishing Freedom Fighters From Terrorists, L. F. E. Goldie

Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce

As the terrorist becomes increasingly internationalized, he becomes more the enemy of all mankind than at any previous time. In this process, states are seeking everwidening bases for exercising their jurisdiction in their pursuit of security and the implementation of punishment for indiscriminate killing and injury. This paper will review and advocate developments in this search for a universal or near-universal jurisdiction against a crime which once was seen as consecrated to patriotism but which is now seen as an inhuman, anarchistic act having, possibly, its own twisted validity for its perpetrator but, in truth, being perpetrated against all mankind.

Israeli Human Rights Violations And Palestinian Violence, Shaw J. Dallal

Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce

This article will attempt to show that scrupulous adherence by both Israel and the United States to principles of international and U.S. law could be a major step in the resolution of the Palestinian- Israeli conflict. It will also attempt to show that the implementation of internationally recognized principles of human rights could reduce terrorism and violence in the region.

The United States-Canadian Automotive Trading Relationship And The Legality Of The Canadian Duty Remission Program, David A. Cohen

Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce

The automotive industry influences the entire U.S. economy. This huge industrial structure directly affects over four million jobs in the United States. In terms of foreign trade in 1985, the United States exported approximately $6 billion worth of new passenger cars to foreign nations; 96 percent of those automobiles went to Canada. This is an illustration of the U.S. automotive industry's direct interest in the U.S.-Canadian trading relationship, and the desire to obtain the potential benefits of a "broadened trading relationship" between the two countries. Presently, the United States and Canada have a unique dutyfree automotive trading arrangement which is …

Preventing Billions From Being Washed Offshore: A Growing Approach To Stopping International Drug Trafficking, Andrea M. Grilli

Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce

Many of the approaches to stopping the growth of the drug problem have been based on two conflicting theories centered around supply and demand concepts. The United States, in supporting a supply-based approach, has aimed many of its drug programs toward the eradication of the narcotics trade, mainly in marijuana, cocaine and heroin, at the source, mostly Third World countries. The drug-producing countries, however, advocate a demand- oriented solution where the objective is to wipe out demand by rehabilitating drug users, thus eliminating the need for the supply. A third solution is now emerging, one that focuses on another aspect …

Terrorism: Israel's Legal Responses, Justus R. Weiner

Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce

Terrorism - politically motivated terrorism - is widely recognized today as one of the scourges of civilization. The frequency of terrorist acts, and the number of deaths and injuries that resulted have steadily increased during the past 20 years. Terrorism poses three challenges to the modern nation state: a security challenge, a moral challenge and a legal challenge. This article seeks to address the issues raised by the legal challenge, and particularly the responses to that challenge by Israel, whose citizens have been unceasing victims.

The End To Unilateral U.S. Action In Latin America: A Call For Expanding The Role Of O.A.S., David A. Rikard

Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce

Nevertheless, due to the threat of general warfare in Central

America, fears of "Revolution Without Borders," and perceived threats to national security interests, the United States may feel that it has no alternative but to continue its already expanding involvement in this region.

This Note advocates the establishment of a multi-national police force, organized under the auspices of the organization of American States. Such a force should preclude the perceived need for unilateral U.S. action, and could be utilized without violating international laws prohibiting intervention.
