Profitability Versus The Public Interest: Is International Patent Law Hindering Third World Countries Access To Hiv/Aids Medications, Karen Godnick Jan 2007

Profitability Versus The Public Interest: Is International Patent Law Hindering Third World Countries Access To Hiv/Aids Medications, Karen Godnick

Richmond Journal of Law and the Public Interest

Patent law has been described as "the Price of Life". This can most strikingly be seen when applied to developing countries' access to HIV/AIDS drugs. Since the explosion of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the 1980's, the disease referred to as the "Modern Black Death" has devastated large parts of populations in several developing countries. Because of several reasons, including strong patent protection advocated and implemented by developed countries through TRIPS and the resulting high price of medicines, these developing countries cannot afford the price of the HIV/AIDS drugs. The majority of medicines used to treat this disease are patented. As …

Addicted To The Pump, Shaneka Reese Jan 2007

Addicted To The Pump, Shaneka Reese

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

Most of the world has acknowledged a growing problem with greenhouse gas emissions ("GHG"), and has expressed that acknowledgement by ratifying the Kyoto Protocol ("Kyoto"). The United States, however, has refused to ratify Kyoto. Automobiles are responsible for the largest portion of the global increase in carbon dioxide emissions. As part of the most powerful industry in the world, U.S. automakers are capable of reducing emissions as required by Kyoto. Adopting Kyoto will in fact prove beneficial to American automakers, by forcing them to adjust to the new market condition that has contributed to the ascendancy of foreign automakers--the desire …

Ec Reforms Of Corporate Governance And Capital Markets Law: Do They Tackle Insiders' Opportunism?, Luca Enriques, Matteo Gatti Jan 2007

Ec Reforms Of Corporate Governance And Capital Markets Law: Do They Tackle Insiders' Opportunism?, Luca Enriques, Matteo Gatti

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

Company and capital markets laws are rapidly evolving everywhere: there are few countries around the world where they have not been the subject of reform or where at least a reform agenda has not been devised. There are various reasons for this, both global and local. Among the global (or common) reasons for reform, two at least deserve to be singled out: large-scale market crises or prominent economic scandals, and financial development.


Methanex V. United States: The Realignment Of Nafta Chapter 11 With Environmental Regulation, Kara Dougherty Jan 2007

Methanex V. United States: The Realignment Of Nafta Chapter 11 With Environmental Regulation, Kara Dougherty

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

In July 1999, the Canadian firm Methanex Corporation ("Methanex") notified the United States of its intention to seek approximately $1 billion in damages for the United States's alleged breach of Chapter 11 of the North American Free Trade Agreement ("NAFTA"). NAFTA, a trilateral agreement among the United States, Canada and Mexico (the "Parties"), gives private, foreign investors from each country the right to bring claims against another Party under certain circumstances. Methanex claimed a California measure banning the use of the gasoline additive MTBE discriminated against and expropriated its investments. The case of Methanex v. United States highlights two unintended …


Beyond Enron: Regulation In Energy Derivatives Trading, Alexia Brunet, Meredith Shafe Jan 2007

Beyond Enron: Regulation In Energy Derivatives Trading, Alexia Brunet, Meredith Shafe

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

The bankruptcy of the Enron Corporation in December 2002 is the biggest corporate bankruptcy in U.S. history. The Houston-based company, formed in 1985, became the nation's seventh-largest company in revenue by buying electricity from generators and selling it to consumers. Because Enron made the market in energy trading, its collapse fundamentally altered the U.S. energy trading industry. Equally important, the disclosure of Enron's role in California's power market crisis shattered confidence in deregulated wholesale-electricity and natural gas markets, creating obstacles for new players seeking to restore confidence in energy trading markets. New market entrants offer their clients a more complete …


Hedge Fund Regulation: What The Fsa Is Doing Right And Why The Sec Should Follow The Fsa's Lead, Lartease Tiffith Jan 2007

Hedge Fund Regulation: What The Fsa Is Doing Right And Why The Sec Should Follow The Fsa's Lead, Lartease Tiffith

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

Recent news about hedge funds' successes and failures, and in some cases outright fraud, has increased the public's interest in a field that often prefers to cloak itself in a hidden veil. One can analogize hedge fund managers and the hedge fund industry to the nostalgic era of cowboys and the wild frontier. Hedge fund managers, like cowboys of the old days, do not want to be regulated. Just as the cowboys entering the frontier appreciated the lack of law or authority over their actions, today's hedge fund managers appreciate the lack of law or authority over their actions. And …


Development In International Energy Law, David Van Zandt Jan 2007

Development In International Energy Law, David Van Zandt

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

International energy law embodies a matter of keen interest that affects the daily lives of citizens in developing and developed countries worldwide. Among numerous other effects, international energy law influences gas prices, wages, employment rates and domestic market regulations. The weight of these direct consequences of international energy law and policy led to the creation of this year's symposium topic. The goal of this year's symposium is to identify issues arising from various international energy laws as well as to understand the effects that recent international events, including the fall of Enron, the creation of NAFTA and the political unrest …


The Equivalence Approach To Securities Regulation, Tzung-Bor Wei Jan 2007

The Equivalence Approach To Securities Regulation, Tzung-Bor Wei

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

It is undisputed that the world's financial markets are becoming increasingly international and increasingly integrated. "How should regulators respond?" is a hotly contested issue. Academic literature debates two competing approaches to international securities regulation--"harmonization" and "regulatory competition." Harmonization is the idea that rules and regulations should be standardized across countries as much as possible. Countries may achieve harmonization by ceding lawmaking authority to an international body or agency; alternatively, countries may agree to enact similar rules through their normal, domestic rule-promulgating procedures. In contrast to the harmonization approach stands the regulatory competition approach. Under this model, countries do not coordinate …


Code Or Contract: Whether Wal-Mart's Code Of Conduct Creates A Contractual Obligation Between Wal-Mart And The Employees Of Its Foreign Suppliers, Katherine E. Kenny Jan 2007

Code Or Contract: Whether Wal-Mart's Code Of Conduct Creates A Contractual Obligation Between Wal-Mart And The Employees Of Its Foreign Suppliers, Katherine E. Kenny

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

This comment examines whether corporate codes of conduct and more specifically, Wal-Mart's Code of Conduct, are binding contracts between foreign suppliers and their employees or whether they are voluntary and non-contractual devices. An analysis of U.S. law and the text and implementation of Wal-Mart's Code of Conduct reveals that the Code should not be interpreted as a contract binding on foreign suppliers and their employees for the breach of contract for denial of minimum and overtime wages, the breach of contract for forced labor, and the breach of contract for denial of the fundamental right to freely associate. The comment …
