This volume contains: - Souverainete territoriale et globalisation des marches: le domaine d'application des lois contre les restrictions de la concurrence, par J. BASEDOW, professeur a l'Universite libre de Berlin. The number of national laws that protect competition against private restrictions are constantly increasing. Their application to trans-boundary situations poses difficult problems for both private international law and public international law. The course deals with both, either with respect to application of the "lex fori" or with respect to application of foreign laws. - Enforcement in the International Context by K.D. KERAMEUS, Professor at the University of Athens. In recent years, enforcement proceedings have gone through a comprehensive reform in many countries. Furthermore, modern enforcement increasingly relies on foreign judgements. The course focuses on three subjects: the comparative element in recent codifications and case-law developments in the area of enforcement: salient and converging trends in the enforcement of foreign judgments on the basis of domestic law or international conventions: and the delimitation of "lex fori"and foreign law during the enforcement proceedings.

Download or read book Two Eagles written by Ricardo Sheffield and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2023-04-19 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the middle of the Sonoran Desert, two eagles meet face to face. One has flown from the north, the other from the south. After a long journey, they confront each other in a vast territory that unites two great countries that, like the eagles, are not as different as they seem. Two hundred years after the beginning of diplomatic relations between Mexico and the United States, Ricardo Sheffield takes a look at the shared history of both nations. He considers questions such as: • What was life like for the Native Americans? • When did some decide to follow an unknown path south, leaving others to stay behind? • What unites the lives of Mexicans with those living in the United States of America? • What have been the moments of greatest tension between the two countries? With a distinctive voice full of irony, humor, and popular sayings, the author traces the history of these two great powers—from their common beginnings with the Clovis culture hunting mammoths to the civil wars of both countries, the promulgation of their respective constitutions, and their struggles to abolish slavery.

Ce n'est pas sans fierte que j'ai l'honneur d'introduire la presente edition des actes du congres.

DE CORTE, who saw to the distribution of the texts during the Congress, and the KLUWER publishing com pany for their excellent and faultless publication.

Download or read book Understanding Due Process in Non Criminal Matters written by Ricardo Lillo Lobos and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-07-20 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How we understand what procedure is due as a fundamental or constitutional right can have a critical impact on designing a civil procedure. Drawing on comparative law and empirically oriented methodologies, in this book the author provides a thorough analysis of how procedural due process is understood both in national jurisdictions and in the field of international human rights law. The book offers a suitable due process theory for civil matters in general, assessing the different roles that this basic international human right plays in comparison with criminal justice. In this regard, it argues that the civil justice conception of due process has grown under the shadow of criminal justice for too long. Moreover, the theory answers the question of what the basic requirements are concerning the right to a fair trial on civil matters, i.e., the question of what we can and cannot sacrifice when designing a civil procedure that correctly distributes the risk of moral harm while remaining accessible to people with complex and simple legal needs, in order to reconcile the requirements of procedural fairness with social demands for justice. This book makes a valuable contribution to the field of civil justice, legal design, and access to justice by providing an empirically based normative theory regarding the right to a fair trial. As such, it will be of interest to a broad audience: policymakers, practitioners and judges, but also researchers and scholars interested in theoretical questions in jurisprudence, and those familiar with empirical legal studies, comparative law, and other socio-legal studies.

Download or read book The Triggering Procedure of the International Criminal Court written by Héctor Olásolo and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 2005 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Rome Statute, unlike the statutes of the International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and for Rwanda, creates a permanent court whose dormant jurisdiction covers the territory and includes the nationals of States Parties and is universal in cases where the Security Council makes a referral. Besides, unlike the "ad hoc" tribunals, which have jurisdiction over specific crisis situations whose personal, territorial and temporal parameters have been defined in their respective statutes by the UN Security Council, in the case of the ICC it is not possible to determine a priori in which situations the ICC will be involved. As a result, the most relevant activity of the Court is the determination of those situations regarding which the dormant jurisdiction of the Court will be triggered. The book "The Triggering Procedure of the International Criminal Court" constitutes the first comprehensive analysis of the proceedings that, prior to any criminal investigation, aim to make such a fundamental determination.

Download or read book Business and Institutional Translation written by Éric Poirier and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2018-11-12 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume of economic, business, financial and institutional translation increases daily. Governments strive to produce plain and accessible information. Institutions and agencies operate in more than one language. Multinationals produce documents in multiple languages to expand their services worldwide, and large businesses and SMEs also have to adopt a multilingual approach for accessing new markets in new countries. Translation and interpreting training institutions are aware of the increasing need for training in this area. This awareness is evident in their curricula, which include subjects related to these areas of activity. Trainers and researchers are increasingly interested in knowing and researching the intricacies and aspects of this type of translation. This peer-reviewed publication, resulting from ICEBFIT 2016, echoes the voices of translation practitioners, researchers, and teachers, as well as other parties gathered to discuss new issues in institutional translation and business, finance and accounting translation, as well as, in a larger sense, specialized translation.
