Comments To The Draft Working Group Iii Workplan, Columbia Center On Sustainable Investment, International Institute For Environment And Development, International Institute For Sustainable Development

Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment Staff Publications

The United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) is currently working on how to reform international investment treaties, focusing in particular on those treaties’ provisions enabling investors to sue governments in international arbitration. As an observer organization in this process, CCSI has emphasized that in the context of investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) reform, it is important to first consider what it is that investment treaties aim to achieve, and only then to consider what form(s) of dispute settlement will best advance those objectives. This means not only looking at reform of the existing ISDS mechanism, but also alternatives to …

Refusing To Concede The Election: Defending Democracy By Expanding The G7 Rapid Response Mechanism, Taylor Hayes

Penn State Journal of Law & International Affairs (2012 - Present)

The past decade is rife with examples of actions by nefarious groups to improperly interfere in democratic elections around the world, and it is time that democratic nations band together to effectively combat these interference efforts. More than two dozen nations around the world have fallen victim to some form of election interference. The United States and its allies have traced many of these interference campaigns to state actors, particularly the Russian government.

In 2018, the Group of Seven (G7) announced the creation of a Rapid Response Mechanism (G7 RRM). The aim of the G7 RRM is to limit the …

An Evaluation Of The Water-Energy-Food Nexus And Its Alignment With The Sustainable Development Goals, Waseem Ahmad Qureshi

Penn State Journal of Law & International Affairs (2012 - Present)

Since 2011, the water–energy–food (WEF) nexus has become a popular term, widely deliberated upon by policymakers and scholars alike around the world. It has been referred to with different acronyms, depending upon their foci of interest: WEF for hydro-centric researchers; EFW for energy securitization policy researchers; and FEW for agrarian-based policy frameworks. By contrast, environmentalists, who like to include the variable of climate change within the nexus to use it as a primary element of research, prefer to call it the CLEW (climate–land–energy–water) nexus. This paper is an attempt to explain the WEF nexus in relation to the varied interpretations …

"Ufo": When The American Doctrine Of Ripeness Visited Israel, Mohammed S. Wattad

Penn State Journal of Law & International Affairs (2012 - Present)

As part of the gradual preparation for the incorporation of the American ripeness doctrine into Israeli law, it has been justified on a number of grounds. A fundamental discussion of the scope of the doctrine may be found in three important legal cases, which coined the term “the ripeness doctrine, Israel style.” A review of these cases reveals that while there is widespread consensus among the Israeli Supreme Court justices regarding the actual adoption of the ripeness doctrine, there is disagreement – and even confusion – regarding the manner of its implementation. In this article, I would like to present …

Collared—A Film Case Study About Insider Trading And Ethics, Garrick Apollon

St. Mary's Journal on Legal Malpractice & Ethics

This Article discusses the visual legal advocacy documentary film, Collared, by Garrick Apollon (author of this Article). Collared premiered in fall 2018 to a sold-out audience at the Hot Docs Cinema in Toronto for the Hot Docs for Continuing Professional Education edutainment initiative. Collared features the story and reveals the testimony of a convicted ex-insider trader who is still struggling with the tragic consequences of “the most prolonged insider trading scheme ever discovered by American and Canadian securities investigators.” The intimate insights shared by former lawyer and reformed white-collar criminal, Joseph Grmovsek, serves as a painful reminder of the …

Investors As International Law Intermediaries: Using Shareholder Proposals To Enforce Human Rights, Kishanthi Parella

Scholarly Articles

One of the biggest challenges with international law remains its enforcement. This challenge grows when it comes to enforcing international law norms against corporations and other business organizations. The United Nations Guiding Principles recognizes the “corporate responsibility to respect human rights,” which includes human rights due diligence practices that are adequate for “assessing actual and potential human rights impacts, integrating and acting upon the findings, tracking responses, and communicating how impacts are addressed.” Unfortunately, many corporations around the world are failing to implement adequate human rights due diligence practices in their supply chains. This inattention leads to significant harms for …

Can Investment Dispute Settlement Ever Be Depoliticized?, Fernando Dias Simões

Cardozo International & Comparative Law Review

Investor-state arbitration was created with the hope of depoliticizing investment disputes. However, the adoption of the traditional party-appointment system, in which disputing parties play a direct role in the composition of the tribunal, is increasingly criticized. Many believe that party appointment is a tool ofpolitical influence over the arbitrators' interpretative space. Suggestions for reform of the system have proliferated. The most radical proposal currently on the table-the creation of a permanent investment court-would cause a paradigm shift in the selection of adjudicators, moving from a disputing party framework, to a treaty party context. This article analyzes different options to reduce …

2020 International Trade Decisions Of The Federal Circuit, Kevin J. Fandl

American University Law Review

The Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (“CAFC”) hears appeals from the U.S. District Courts as well as the U.S. Court of International Trade (“CIT”) about trade-related matters. The 2020 term of the CAFC with respect to appeals from the CIT included fewer precedential decisions and a move to telephonic hearings in light of Covid-19. The resulting decisions included, as usual, mostly antidumping appeals, but also a handful of classification and countervailing duty cases. In the following pages, this Article provides a selection of those decisions that may have a bearing on similar cases moving through the system. These …

The Interpretation Of International Investment Treaties: The Application Of Mfn Clauses To Matters Of Dispute Settlement In Bits, Amr Mostafa Aabed Abdo

Theses and Dissertations

The decisions of the arbitral tribunals have been under heavy attack for the inconsistent and unintended interpretations that went beyond the intent of the parties as it is expressed in the treaty provisions. One of these misinterpreted provisions is the MFN clause. Many tribunals have used this clause to allocate the adjudicatory authority between international arbitration and domestic courts. The problem of this application is a matter of treaty interpretation that is governed by the international rules of interpretation in the VCLT. These rules provide a balance approach to treaty interpretation and recognize equally the legitimate rights and interests of …

Learning From Experience: Comparing Legal Approaches To Foreign Bribery And Modern Slavery, Hannah Harris, Justine Nolan

Cardozo International & Comparative Law Review

The article examines two distinct regulatory frameworks addressing global corruption and human rights issues: the criminal law approach to foreign bribery and the disclosure-based approach to modern slavery in supply chains. It argues that while the foreign bribery framework, exemplified by laws like the FCPA and the UK Bribery Act, relies on strict criminal liability, the modern slavery framework, as seen in laws like the Australian and UK Modern Slavery Acts, focuses on disclosure with limited enforcement mechanisms. The article proposes integrating elements of experimental governance, such as penalty defaults and stakeholder collaboration, to enhance the effectiveness of both frameworks …

How To Treat The Wto's Problem With Precedent, Timothy Meyer

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

This Article argues that the World Trade Organization’s Appellate Body (AB), or a successor body, must become more transparent in justifying its decision to rely (or not) on prior decisions. The AB’s practice of precedent—which the United States cited as a cause of its decision to paralyze the AB by blocking new appointments-—is similar to how it has approached “likeness” in nondiscrimination cases. It placed a lot of weight on whether two cases (or products) are sufficiently similar to be compared, and it spent relatively less time substantively justifying its treatment of prior cases. Because the WTO does not have …

Interpretive Entrepreneurs, Melissa J. Durkee

Scholarly Works

Private actors interpret legal norms, a phenomenon I call "interpretive entrepreneurship." The phenomenon is particularly significant in the international context, where many disputes are not subject to judicial resolution and there is no official system of precedent. Interpretation can affect the meaning of laws over time. For this reason, it can be a form of "post hoc" international lawmaking, worth studying alongside other forms of international lobbying and norm entrepreneurship by private actors. The Article identifies and describes the phenomenon through a series of case studies that show how, why, and by whom it unfolds. The examples focus on entrepreneurial …

Trade, Economy, And Work: A Shared Agenda For A Stronger Economic Future, Alvaro Santos, Christopher Wilson

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

The economies of the United States and Mexico have become inextricably linked. For both countries, the other is their top trading partner, with an annual value of $616.38 billion in 2019. Beyond cross-border trade, however, our global competitiveness is linked due to the depth of manufacturing integration. As a result, job creation and export growth are largely regional enterprises. Well over a billion dollars in commerce crosses the border each day, and the GDP of the six Mexican and four U.S. border states is larger than the GDP of all but the three largest countries in the world.

The new …
