Romania: Euro-Atlantic Integration And Economic Reform, Mircea Geoana

Fordham International Law Journal

The importance of President Clinton's visit to Bucharest goes far beyond the symbolism represented by the first visit of an American president to a free and democratic Romania. "Euro-Atlantic integration" does not start when a country states its commitment to being a candidate for North Atlantic Treaty Organization ('NATO') or European Union ('EU') membership and does not end with the moment of accession. Among Central European nations, accession to NATO has enjoyed the greatest public support in Romania. Romania's integration into the European Union is the other foreign policy goal that, together with accession to NATO, is considered indispensable to …

Access Rights: A Necessary Corollary To Custody Rights Under The Hague Convention On The Civil Aspects Of International Child Abduction, Priscilla Steward

Fordham International Law Journal

This Note argues that the aspect of the Hague Abduction Convention addressing access rights is ineffective because it has forced some courts to misconstrue provisions of the Hague Abduction Convention in order to carry out the Convention's intent. This Note further argues that the burden of establishing the absence of a wrongful removal or retention should fall upon the parent who has removed the child. This Note also argues that the Hague Conference should amend the Convention to order a court to enforce previously ordered access rights in the child's new habitual residence. Part I provides an historical background on …

The Licensing Of Foreign Legal Consultants In The United States, Carol A. Needham

Fordham International Law Journal

The focus in this Essay is on the regulations which have been adopted in the various states within the United States to recognize lawyers licensed in other countries. As the financial and commercial markets move beyond national boundaries to become global markets, lawyers practicing in the United States will increasingly be called upon to analyze and understand international law and the laws of countries outside the United States. Adopting regulations allowing foreign legal consultants to practice law will permit US lawyers to better serve their current clients. In addition, US lawyers will more easily obtain access to markets for legal …

International Banking Activities: The Role Of The Federal Reserve Bank In Domestic Capital Markets, Susan M. Phillips, Alan N. Rechtschaffen

Fordham International Law Journal

In synthesizing harmonious regulation with market sensitive monetary policies, regulators and central bankers can maintain global confidence and minimize systemic failure. The improvements in communications and transportation, the gains from technology and the miniaturization of the goods the world produces have fueled a growing volume of international trade. Financial institutions, in turn, have sought constantly to find more effective and efficient ways to facilitate and finance these activities, and at the same time manage the related risks. There are two clear areas of common interest which may serve as a guideline for central bankers, bank supervisors, and regulators developing compatible …
