Commonwealth Caribbean Courts' Jurisdiction In Winding Up Of Foreign Corporations, Vincent W. Meerabux Jan 1994

Commonwealth Caribbean Courts' Jurisdiction In Winding Up Of Foreign Corporations, Vincent W. Meerabux

Florida State University Journal of Transnational Law & Policy

It is well established that the Courts in the Commonwealth Caribbean may wind-up a foreign corporation. The term "foreign corporation" refers to a corporation that is not incorporated in the country in which the court is exercising its winding-up jurisdiction. This article sets out the basic principles drawn from decided cases which should guide the court in the exercise of its ancillary windingup jurisdiction. Due to the absence of any reported cases from the West Indian Law Reports, cases from England were selected because insolvency laws in the Commonwealth Caribbean generally are modeled after the laws of England and the …

State Responsibility In Case Of Stabilization Clauses, F. V. Garcia-Amador Jan 1992

State Responsibility In Case Of Stabilization Clauses, F. V. Garcia-Amador

Florida State University Journal of Transnational Law & Policy

Modern concession agreements between States and foreign corporations sometimes contain, in addition to choice-of-law clauses, the specific commitment on the part of the contracting State not to alter the terms of the concession, by legislation or by any other means, without the consent of the other contracting party. These stipulations are usually known as "stabilization" clauses. The commitment embodied in these clauses poses a special situation from the standpoint of State responsibility. Before discussing such a situation, let us first see what is the traditional position as to the international responsibility of States for measures affecting contractual rights, and also, …


Expanding The Role Of The International Court Of Justice To Resolve Interethnic Conflict And Protect Minority Rights, Paul J. Magnarella Jan 1992

Expanding The Role Of The International Court Of Justice To Resolve Interethnic Conflict And Protect Minority Rights, Paul J. Magnarella

Florida State University Journal of Transnational Law & Policy

Despite the prevalence of interethnic conflict and its threat to world order, the global constitutive process offers no universal mechanism, such as an international tribunal, to adjudicate the claims advanced by non-state, ethnic minorities. This author advocates establishing such a mechanism. During our present century, the power of politicized ethnicity in international and intra-state affairs repeatedly manifests itself around the globe in countries old and new. Ethnopolitical movements involve the mobilization of people on the bases of cultural characteristics, such as language, tradition, religion, homeland, and selected physical traits. Ethnopolitics significantly affects the world order. In 1973, Walter Connor wrote: …


International Human Rights Law In U.S. Courts, Richard B. Lillich Jan 1992

International Human Rights Law In U.S. Courts, Richard B. Lillich

Florida State University Journal of Transnational Law & Policy

Although, as Professor Bilder rightly observes, "[ijnternational human rights law is derived from a variety of sources and involves many kinds of materials, both international and national, it is to national law that one must look first to determine the scope and content of the human rights recognized and protected in any country. Domestic courts confronted with human rights claims initially refer to national constitutions, laws, decrees, regulations, court and administrative decisions, and policy pronouncements for relevant rules of decision. Increasingly, however, domestic courts also are taking international human rights law into account in deciding cases. The purpose of this …

Avoiding A Collision Of Competence: The Relationship Between The Security Council And The International Court Of Justice In Light Of Libya V. United States, Scott I. Bortz

Florida State University Journal of Transnational Law & Policy

Reaction in the wake of a horrible tragedy has clarified the political hierarchy of the United Nations and helped avoid a collision of competence between the Security Council and the International Court of Justice (Court). The destruction of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, in December 1988, ultimately called the applicability of an international agreement into question, exacerbated an already volatile political relationship between the United States and Libya, and led to case wherein the Court was able to clarify its relationship with the Security Council. In Libya v. United States, (Lockerbie) a case that "may be the most …
