Safe havens: Compromising human rights protection for the displaced?
"Legality in international criminal law; a human rights standard?"
The principle of legality is a fundamental principle of criminal law. It grants the defendant in a criminal trial protection from the arbitrary use of state power by binding the state to certain rules and guarantees. The exercise of state power in criminal prosecutions is bound by the separation of powers, the rule of law and the idea that criminal law should provide fair warning to the individual
Review of Asylum Policies and Procedures in The Bahamas: Are Current Policies and Procedures Consistent with International Instruments for the Protection of Refugees?
Volatile conflicts, poverty and suppression of basic human rights stemming from one's political or religious affiliations, gender and race, are some of the various reasons why thousands flee home in the hopes of finding some kind of security.

The added value of the UN Draft Norms as compared to existing codes on Corporate Social Responsibility and their legal status
When the United Nations was created in 1945, states were the only significant decision-makers. Even with the construction of the human rights regime in the aftermath of the Second World War, states were designated as the only duty-bearers who could violate international human rights law. States alone were held responsible for implementing human rights principles by enforcing treaty-based obligatio
Is The Strict Global Protection of Intellectual Property Unfair for Developing Countries?
Will developing countries benefit economically from strengthening their protection of intellectual property? They have been repeatedly urged to do so by developed nations. But so far there is little empirical experience of either quite successful or failed examples. What we could hear from the media seems that the international protection of IPRs is getting stricter and more codified, while the si

A Theory of Corporate Governance for the EC: Assessing the economic and legal peculiarities as starting point for policy making
This thesis provides a critical overview of the development of corporate governance practices in the EC.

Unilateral Effects Analysis in EC Merger Control
The 2004 Merger Regulation introduced a change to the substantive test for the Commission's intervention in mergers. The Commission is now able to block mergers which significantly impede effective competition in the EC. The purpose of the change was to guarantee that the Commission could deal with all harmful effects to competition resulting from a merger. More specifically, the purpose was t
Information Exchange between Undertakings
Communication between competing undertakings comes in different guises: It is an indispensable and inherent feature of every cartel, it is at the heart of the activities of every trade organisation, and today many firms are involved in some type or another of benchmarking, which is also based on an exchange of information between the participating companies. This thesis deals primarily with inform

This section considers the limits of economic integration prior to 1986 and the important steps taken
CONSEQUENCES OF VOIDNESS UNDER ARTICLE 81(2) OF THE EC TREATY AND VIETNAMESE LAW
The creation of an internal market is one of the objectives of the EC Treaty, and the Competition provisions are crucial to the achievement of this goal. Article 81(1) EC Treaty prohibits agreements which may distort trade between the Member States. The consequence of violating such a prohibition is given by the Treaty itself in Article 81(2): voidness. However, the consequences of such voidness a

Patent and Know-how Licensing under the 2004 Technology Transfer Regulation
Intellectual property law seeks to promote society's industrial development through the recognition of patents. The logic of granting patent protection is clear-cut: Patents provide incentives for developing new technology. The lack of an adequate legal protection for innovations would slow progress and the benefits it brings. Without legal protection, companies would be unlikely to spend sign
