Review The Jurisprudence of the Iran-United States Claims Tribunal: An Analysis of the Decisions of the Tribunal / Oxford University Press, USA:This book charts the work of the Iran-US Claims Tribunal which was established in the wake of the breakdown of relations between the United States and Iran after the Iranian revolution in 1979. The seizure of the US Embassy and US assets in Iran created a rift between the US and Iran which led to the expulsion and expropriation of US property. The US retaliated by freezing all Iranian assets in America including funds held in US banks. The Tribunal which was created after extensive international negotiations involving other governments was funded by the Iranian Government to settle all outstanding claims between Government and Government, US nationals against the Iranian Government and Iranian nationals against the US Government. The tribunal was divided into three chambers in the Hague: US, Iran and a neutral judge sat on each of the Tribunals. The work of the Tribunal is of great interest to international lawyers and arbitrators because it is a large scale international Tribunal trying to deal with the settlement of large claims against governments on behalf of other governments and domestic citizens. The application of the principles developed by the Tribunal to other areas of international law is considerable so the book will be of general interest to a wide range of international lawyers.

Review Democracy:The Rule of Law and Islam (Cimel Book Series, 6.) / Springer:This important collection of articles, contributed by eminent scholars, judges and legal practitioners, addresses the fundamental issues of human rights, democracy, the rule of law and Islam. It covers a broad and diverse range of topics and discusses key issues and questions such as: * What lessons should emerging democracies learn from mature democracies in the promotion of human rights and respect for the rule of law? * Are democratic processes and human rights standards in the developed world really models that should be adopted by developing countries? * How are human rights protected in Islam and the Middle East? * What is Islamic constitutionalism and how does Islamic law provide for a democratic system of government? The book argues that the development of the rule of law, democracy and respect for human rights should be a process of interaction and integration on a global scale. In addition, it stresses that the integration of previously closed societies into the process of globalisation must take into account the indigenous traditions already existing in such societies, and the extent to which they will contribute to, and benefit from, the process as a whole.

Review Pasicrisie Internationale, 1794-1900:Histoire Documentaire des Arbitrage Internationaux / Springer:When the United Nations undertook the publication of the Reports of International Arbitral Awards, the "Pasicrisie Internationale" was identified as being one of the rare, truly general collections of international case law in existence. In fact, in deciding to publish the arbitration clauses and arbitral awards from 1794 to 1900, Henri La Fontaine was doing pioneering work, foreshadowing the Reports by half a century. At the end of the 20th century, the "Pasicrisie Internationale" remains just as pertinent as it was when first published in 1902. This collection of arbitral awards, despite its modest appearance, is considered to have contributed greatly to the development of international arbitration case law.

Furthermore, the book contains the important texts concluded by the member states in the field of immigration and asylum, both intergovernmentally and within the Third Pillar of the Maastricht Treaty. The commentary analyses the contents of each document in turn by reference to the existing international human rights obligations of the member states.

Review The Judicial Application of Law (Law and Philosophy Library) / Springer:The Judicial Application of Law is an important contribution to analytical jurisprudence. It gives a thorough account of all that is involved in the idea of `applying' law as this is carried out by judges. Thus it explores analytically a vital idea for our understanding of legality as a value to which systems of government aspire. This is achieved by the rigorous construction and examination of models of the various steps involved in judicial decision making, including elements both of interpretation and of fact finding, and by the exploration of various possible ideologies of the application of law. The book takes as its main material for analysis statute-based legal systems in the form these took within socialist legal systems prior to the recent revolutions, being based principally on the law of Poland up to 1989. This is the last work, posthumously translated, by the most distinguished analytical jurisprudent of modern Poland.

Review Considerations of Equity in the Settlement of Territorial and Boundary Disputes (International Law in Japanese Perspective, Vol 2) (International Law in Japanese Perspective, Vol 2) / Springer:An increasing reference to equity can be seen in recent international treaties, despite the general and sustainable, criticism of its application to the legal relations between states on the grounds of its subjectivity. Be that as it may, States tend to insert equitable provisions in treaties, either in the preamble or in the operative clauses, particularly those dealing with dispute settlement. This is a direct reflection of the States' awareness of the need for a practical response to changes or new developments in international relations which cause or may cause gaps in the existing rules of international law. There are many unresolved territorial and boundary disputes in the world today and Japan has its share of them. Logically, all such disputes require settlement, but experience shows that they tend to remain unsettled unless some urgent impulse is given, such as the need to explore or exploit hydrocarbon resources in the disputed area. Recent international arbitral and judicial decisions in this area seem to be based on an equitable solution based on the consideration of the relevant circumstances. The fact that this study is included in the "International Law in Japanese Perspective" series does not mean that it offers practical solutions for the many Japanese territorial disputes, rather, it is an analytical study of equitable considerations in past cases of territorial and boundary dispute settlement. A careful reader, however, should detect what may be called a Japanese perspective in the manner in which the arbitrations are analyzed, and in the discussion of the theoretical aspects in Chapters III and IV. "International Law in Japanese Perspective" is a series which provides an insight into the latest developments in Japan's attitude towards international law and practice. The series contains works on Japan's contribution to and position in international law, as well as works by Japanese scholars on general questions of international law.

Review Arrest and Detention Powers in Turkish and English Law and Practice in the Light of the European Convention on Human Rights (International Studies in Human ... (International Studies in Human Rights) / Springer:It is commonly believed that, in the police practices of arrest without judicial warrant and detention without charge, England and Turkey stand at opposite ends of the compliance spectrum among nations signatory to the European Convention on Human Rights. This study examines the extent to which such belief is warranted. Beginning with a detailed comparison of the arrest and detention standards set by the Convention and the corresponding provisions of Turkish and English law, the author then proceeds to investigate actual police practice in both countries. He reviews and analyzes the existing research in England and Wales on how the status of suspects in practice compares with the status of suspects in law. To determine this in Turkey, where no such research existed before this book, he offers the results of his own field work in 21 Turkish police stations and three gendarmeries in various cities and towns, as well as in two Turkish anti-terrorist departments. He goes on to examine the adequacy and effectiveness of remedies in both countries, and to make recommendations, not only for reform in England and Turkey, but to the Convention organs with respect to gaps and weaknesses in their case law. For criminal justice and law enforcement authorities, this is a valuable guide to ensuring compliance with the extensive and developed standards established by the case law of the Convention, and to handling allegations of breaches of the Convention by the police. In addition, it is a penetrating analysis of "law in books" versus "law in action", and as such should be of use to anyone concerned with the enforcement of human rights law.

Review International Banking Regulation Law, Policy and Practice (International Banking, Finance and Economic Law, Volume 19) (International Banking, Finance, and Economic Law, V. 19.) / Springer:With the creation of a single global market in financial services, the effective regulation of banks at the international level has become essential. This work offers a comprehensive examination of the development and structure of the provisions for the control of international financial markets. It explores the background to the major financial crises of the late 20th-century and the nature of the global response, beginning with the collapse of the Bretton Woods system of managed exchange rates and the resulting establishment of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in 1974. The author describes the structure and operation of the Committee and examines both the content of its core supervisory papers and the development of its more general regulatory programme. The emergence of increasingly complex international banking and financial conglomerates has required a fundamental revision of the traditional sector-based methods of supervision and regulation. The book examines the difficulties associated with the cross-border and cross-sector regulation of such groups and assesses the international response to these problems. Financial crises in Asia and elsewhere during the late 1990s generated further anxiety concerning the stability of the international financial market place. The causes of the crises are accordingly examined and the various responses adopted as part of an international financial architecture analysed in detail. This book addresses all the major factors involved in international banking supervision, conglomerate control and financial stability together in a single text. It should prove a useful reference and analytical tool for all those specializing in international banking and financial market control.

Review Carreau External Debt (Recueil Des Cours - Colloques/Workshops/ Law Books of the Ac) (Recueil Des Cours - Colloques/Workshops/ Law Books of the Ac) / Springer:The practical importance of the subject of `The External Debt' in contemporary international life goes without saying. On the analytical level, the interest and indeed the difficulty of the subject lies in the need for a multidisciplinary approach, where political, financial and legal aspects are closely linked and require a clear understanding. From the purely legal point of view, the traditional and largely artificial boundaries between private and public law, between private international law and public international law and even, more generally, between municipal and international law are clearly marked here. In this respect any analyst has to be a complete jurist, and this collection of essays (in English and French) is an illustration of this fact.

Review Civil Code of the Republic Belarus / Springer:Even though the economic union of Russia and Belarus is virtually complete, important material differences persist between the civil codes of the two countries. Of particular significance to foreign investors in Belarus are the provisions regulating intellectual property, inheritance, and private international law - provisions that set Belarus apart from other CIS jurisdictions and that make it especially attractive to businesses critically affected by these considerations. This fourth volume in the CIS Civil Code series presents the Belarus Civil Code that entered into force on 1 July 1999. William E. Butler's English translation is of the high quality that has come to be expected by counsel for international investors with a special interest in the CIS countries.

Review European Community Trademark:Commentary to the European Community Regulations / Kluwer Law International:An established trademark provides recognition valuable to trade and sales promotion, and acts as an indication of quality. These undeniable functions of the trademark must be coupled with adequate protection to avoid jeopardizing these essential aspects. The need for unification, at least at the European level, can no longer be disregarded. The Community Directive and Regulation are the response to this need. This commentary provides the texts of essential legislation and offers an analysis of the Directive and Regulation, also in their "historical" context, as seen through the eyes of leading European experts in the field. Issues such as grounds for refusal, entitlement, registration procedures, jurisdiction and procedure in legal actions and the impact of the Community Trade Mark on applicants from non-member countries are addressed. This commentary is intended for both practitioners and scholars, as well as marketing managers, for interpreting the Community provisions in this specialized and important area. Moreover, since the Council Directive and the Commission Regulations have been transformed into national laws in many Member States of the EU, this commentary should be of use in the interpretation and analysis of national European trademark laws. This work is neither too scholarly nor too elementary, but couples the strong theoretical background and practical experience of contributors stemming from diverse legal and practical cultures.

Review As If Peoples Mattered:Critical Appraisal of Peoples and Minorities from the International Human Rights Perspective and Beyond (Raoul Wallenberg Institute ... Institute Human Rights Library, 4.) / Springer:Ours is an era of decline for the nation state and one of world-wide concern for the problems surrounding sub-state groups: minorities, peoples and indigenous populations. The often violent resurgence of conflicts between these groups and States in even the stable democracies poses a challenge to international law as well as to liberal political principles. In this volume, an expert in international minority rights provides not only significant clarification of the legal issues involved, but also trenchant insights taken from a wide range of humanitarian disciplines: from philosophy and systems theory to neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) and transactional analysis (TA). The result is a meticulously researched book exploring from a variety of perspectives the terms `peoples' and `minorities' in international law as well as relationships between minorities, peoples and indigenous rights, individuation and self-determination. Of special interest is the attempt of the author to explain the existence of double standards in international minority rights (dubbing them `games') with the help of transactional analysis, and to redefine and reframe the basic terms such as `international law', `sovereignty', `self- determination', etc. The straightforward claim of the author is that the proposed theories can help both members of minorities and those in executive positions to gain insights on the cognitive level and make more congruent, community-oriented decisions on the practical level. The book will hold particular appeal for all those interested in the international law of human rights, politics and philosophy, as well as students seeking a multi-disciplinary perspective on these much-debated areas.
