AbstractStraddling both the centres of (European) power and the shifting dynamics of the post-Ottoman world in a quest to guarantee private rights through public international legal redress, the PCIJ Mavrommatis case provides a rich resource for interrogating the extent to which international law during the League period could speak for voices on the edge of empire. In this article, historical consideration of the regimes of empire and Mandate form the backdrop to an exploration into how international legal discourse (re)configured the relationship between the core and the periphery, especially for those peoples awaiting the promise of self-determination and sovereignty. The figure of a lone Greek investor and his dashed hopes in the newly created Palestine Mandate is the backdrop to this tail of ever-shifting interpretations of public and private rights, of speech as well as silence before and beyond the Peace Palace.

Legitimate Interest

This chapter advances a new jurisprudential framework for jurisdiction and discusses it in detail, outlining how it may be applied, and responds to some potential concerns that may be raised against the framework. The framework is focused on: (1) there being a substantial connection between the state claiming jurisdiction and the matter; (2) the state claiming jurisdiction having a legitimate interest in the matter; and (3) a balancing of that state’s interest with other relevant interests. As this framework represents the core of jurisdiction in both public international law and in private international law, it effectively unifies those two disciplines commonly viewed as distinct.

The Core

This chapter assesses legal certainty in international arbitration. It specifically considers the noticeable shift in the balance between legal certainty and legal flexibility. While legal flexibility surely continues to deserve a place among the core values of international arbitration, it is legal certainty’s stock that has been on the rise in recent years. The shift can be felt throughout the international arbitration system, and it is mainly driven by an increased awareness that too much flexibility can ultimately imperil arbitration’s legitimacy. While, in the commercial setting, the shift toward greater certainty is occurring in response to concerns emanating from users of arbitral services, in the investment context, it rather reflects concerns about the power of arbitrators to shape public international law.

ناولت هذه الدراسة أحكام التجسس باعتباره يثير الكثير من التساؤلات حول مدى مشروعيته؛ وذلك لتجريمه في القوانين الوطنية، وهو ما يجعله في المنطقة الرمادية، وقد زاد التطور التكنولوجي من تعقيد عملية التجسس عندما يكون باستخدام الأقمار الاصطناعية، بالإضافة إلى حاجة المنظمات الدولية إليه في إطار عمليات حفظ السلام، كما أن القبض على الجاسوس يرتب آثارًا قانونية متباينة، ففي زمن الحرب يتعرض للمحاكمة في حين أن تجسس المبعوث الدبلوماسي يؤدي إلى طرده أو خفض العلاقات الدبلوماسية أو قطعها. وقد توصلت الدراسة إلى عدد من النتائج منها: عدم وجود صك دولي إلى اليوم يجرم التجسس، كما لا يمكن تبنيه على المدى البعيد. وجود إجماع فقهي حول عدم تكييف التجسس واعتباره كحد أدنى عملًا غير ودي. وخلصت إلى عدد من التوصيات منها: لابد من الفصل بطريقة حاسمة بين أشكال التجسس بتكييفها وإخراجها من المنطقة الرمادية
