This summer, the International Organization of Chinese Physicists and Astronomers (OCPA), held their 8th Joint Meeting of Chinese Physicists Worldwide (OCPA8) at the Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. Participants included Nobel Laureates Prof Chen-Ning Yang (Nobel Laureate in Physics 1957) and Prof Carlo Rubbia (Nobel Laureate in Physics 1984), as well as distinguished speakers from leading institutions in Asia, Australia, Europe, and the United States. The theme of the conference was Physics Education and Frontier Physics.

Existing Structure

Simulation is an increasingly popular pedagogical device; much of the recent literature on the theory and practice of political science instruction attests to this. Probably the most popular simulation device is called model United Nations. In recent articles in Teaching Political Science and NEWS for Teachers of Political Science, William Hazelton and James Jacob have described Model United Nations in glowing terms, focusing on one particular conference and completely ignoring the rest of the 200 or more conferences held annually across the United States.Like Jacob and Hazelton, we recognize the great potential value of United Nations simulations in trying to illuminate the often confusing politics of international organizations. As former participants and directors of these programs, however, we are keenly aware of the shortcomings and difficulties associated with the existing structure of model U.N. programs.

Effective Service

This case addresses effective service of process of an international organization by a non-member state. The United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit relied upon the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) because the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) did not fall within the purview of the International Organizations Immunities Act (IOIA) and no other applicable treaty existed regarding the treatment of the OPEC in a United States domestic court. The decision’s reliance upon FRCP and application of foreign law resulted in the inability of the plaintiffs to bring a claim against the OPEC without its express consent.
