Normative Basis

Resumen:El Derecho Administrativo aborda con creciente frecuencia fenómenos jurídicos que podemos denominar como «transnacionales». Esta calificación se debe a que no son susceptibles de una ordenación integral por el Derecho Administrativo estatal. En este estudio abordamos el análisis de esos fenómenos jurídicos desde la perspectiva del principio de territorialidad. El objetivo es mostrar los efectos de la incompatibilidad de fenómenos inherentes a la globalización con el paradigma de la territorialidad del Derecho Administrativo y su concepción estatutaria como Derecho del Estado. El estudio comienza con una exposición sobre la trascendencia del principio de territorialidad en la Teoría General del Estado y en la Teoría jurídica; esta parte analiza la relevancia del territorio como base y límite del poder público, y en las relaciones con otros ordenamientos. A continuación, el estudio aborda los fenómenos jurídicos alumbrados en el contexto actual de fragmentación y pluralismo jurídico, para mostrar una realidad jurídica que condiciona la capacidad explicativa del principio de territorialidad. La constatación de la superación del paradigma territorial del Derecho Administrativo provoca la necesidad de afrontar las consecuencias de ese panorama jurídico transformador. El estudio muestra cómo la desterritorialización del Derecho tiene implicaciones directas no sólo en las relaciones entre órdenes normativos, sino también en la summa divisio, al igual que en la vis autoritaria que tradicionalmente ha caracterizado al Derecho Administrativo. Estas transformaciones abren paso a un Derecho Administrativo no exclusivamente estatal, basado en relaciones interordinamentales y focalizado en relaciones jurídicas dinámicas. SummaryI.

Relations between State legal orders. 2. The overcoming of the division public law versus private law. IV. Final Remarks: the «Relational Character» of the Transnational Administrative Law. 1. From the exclusivity and the completness of the State Administrative Law to the relations between legal orders and conflicts of law. 2. From an authoritarian conception centered in static legal status, to a conception ex parte civium and focused on dynamic legal relationships. Abstract:Administrative Law is increasingly tackling with legal phenomena that can be named as «transnational». This denomination is due to the fact that cannot be embraced entirely by State Administrative Law. In this paper we approach the analysis of these legal phenomena from the perspective of the territoriality principle. The objective of this paper is to show the effects of the incompatibility of a legal phenomenon inherent to globalization, with the paradigm of the territoriality of Administrative Law and its statutory conception as State law. The study begins with an exposition on the relevance of the territoriality principle in the State General Theory and in the Legal Theory; for this reason, we analyze the relevance of the territory as the basis and limit of public power, but also in the relations other legal orders. Then the study deals with the current context of fragmentation and legal pluralism to show a legal reality that undermines the explanatory capacity of the territoriality principle. The verification of the overcoming of the territorial paradigm of Administrative Law causes the need to face the consequences of this transforming legal reality. The paper shows to what extent the deterritorialization of law has direct implications not only in the relations between legal orders, but also in the «summa divisio» and in the traditional authoritarian characterization of Administrative Law. These changes open the scene to a non-statist legal regime, based on relations between legal orders and focused on dynamic legal relations.

Secular Law as the “King's Law”: Zionist Halakhah and Legal Theory

What is the possibility of secular law in the religious Jewish state? This article will focus this question on the attitude of Zionist halakhic decisors toward the secular law of the land when that land is the State of Israel. Are these decisors willing to recognize Israeli law as falling into the halakhic category of “the King's Law” (mishpat ha-melekh)? Halakhic literature offers various justifications for the king's authority. The first justification is philosophical and jurisprudential; the second is political; and the third is legal in nature. Various justifications for the King's Law yield different models of its force and authority, which contrast in the relationship they posit between the King's Law and Torah Law. This article examines this question from the perspective of the legal discussion of the relationship between competing systems of law (private international law and issues related to the conflict of laws).

This chapter takes us into the domain of legal theory and legal philosophy as it places the questions of Internet jurisdiction in a broader theoretical, and indeed philosophical, context. Indeed, it goes as far as to (1) present a definition of what is law, (2) discuss what are the law’s tools, and (3) to describe the roles of law. In addition, it provides distinctions important for how we understand the role of jurisdictional rules both in private international law and in public international law as traditionally defined. Furthermore, it adds law reform tools by introducing and discussing the concept of ‘market sovereignty’ based on ‘market destroying measures’––an important concept for solving the Internet jurisdiction puzzle.

Abstract On 17 November 2020, the General Law on Private International Law (Law 19.920) was approved. This Law resulted from a process of hard work that took over two decades of discussions and debates.1 With this Law, Uruguay becomes one of a group of countries that have already carried out this kind of reform, particularly in regard to international commercial law and international contracts. The new Law 19.920 allows parties to choose the applicable law (State or non-State law) to regulate their international contractual obligations. This reform has a real disruptive imprint since Uruguay leaves behind its old and anachronistic regulation of the matter. This article provides a general analysis of the regulation of international commercial law under Law 19.920 (Articles 13 and 51) and the new regime applicable to international contracts, including the parties’ right to choose the applicable law (Article 45) (State or non-State law), which increases their autonomy in comparison with the previous regime.

The 19Th Century

Abstract Customary international law as a source of general law is given a primary place in Article 38 of the ICJ Statute. However, it is historically a concept created by legal doctrine. The very idea of custom supposes legal persons are natural persons living in a dynamic, evolving community. This was the assumption of the historical school of law in the 19th century when the concept of custom was developed. Now the dominant notion of legal personality is the State as an impersonal corporation and international legal theory (Brierly and D’Amato) can see well that the death of the historical school of law has to mean the death of the concept of custom. What should replace it? Two steps need to be taken in sequence. Firstly, following the Swedish realist philosopher Haegerstrom, we have to ascertain the precise constellations of the conflictual attitudes the populations of States have to the patterns of normativity which they project onto international society. Secondly, we should follow the virtue ethics jurisprudence of Paul Ricoeur and others, who develop a theory of critical legal doctrinal judgement, along the classical lines of Aristotle and Confucius, to challenge and sort out the prejudices of peoples into some reasonable shape, whereby these can be encouraged to understand and respect one another. Then one will not have to endure so many silly interpretations of international law such as the one declaring that there are only rocks in the South China Sea and not islands. Such interpretations have nothing to do with the supposedly ordinary legal language analysis of a convention and the State practice surrounding it. They have to do entirely with a continued lack of respect by Western jurists for non-Western societies and nations.

AbstractThis study empirically investigates China’s participation in the globalized cross-border insolvency collaboration system. It is the first time for the development of China’s cross-border insolvency law to be examined against the background of private international law on foreign judgment recognition and enforcement. The findings of this article reveal that foreign bankruptcy representatives face considerable difficulties in satisfying the treaty and reciprocity requirements when seeking judicial assistance from China, and that local protectionism in favour of China’s state-owned and state-linked companies undermines foreign bankruptcy representatives’ confidence in approaching China’s courts for support. Although there are several court recognitions of foreign bankruptcy judgments in China, this article finds that they are only used to acknowledge the legal status of foreign bankruptcy representatives to meet the demands of government authorities; Chinese courts have not taken a substantial step in recognizing a foreign bankruptcy judgment so as to bar individual creditors’ action in the interest of a foreign bankruptcy proceeding. On the contrary, for Chinese bankruptcy representatives seeking assistance abroad, they could take advantage of the liberal judicial infrastructure, especially of some advanced jurisdictions, to obtain recognition and relief.

The article analyzes the prerequisites for changing the legal status of the State Council of the Russian Federation, analyzes the Federal Law "On the State Council of the Russian Federation" dated December 8, 2020 No. 394-FZ and studies the changes that came into force in the light of the constitutional reforms of 2020. According to this Law, the State Council of the Russian Federation should become a real mechanism of public power in Russia, while remaining an advisory body and a platform for coordinating the interests of the regions and the center. The author conducted a comparative analysis of the State Council, which acted in accordance with the Presidential Decree of 2000, and the law adopted in 2020. Based on the conducted research, the author concludes that the amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation adopted in 2020 are timely and necessary in order to restore the existing government.

This chapter documents the extreme stresses that cyberspace applies to state law by examining how private international law, or conflict of laws, has responded to the online global world. This highlights both the penetration of globalization into the ‘private’ sphere and the strongly ‘public’ or collective political nature of much of the ‘private’ ordering through national law. The chapter shows that the nation state is asserting itself against the very phenomenon—globalization (through cyberspace)—that threatens its existence, and does not shy away from accepting the fragmentation of this global cyberspace along traditional political boundaries as collateral damage to its own survival. Yet, the frequent appeal to international human rights normativity in recent conflicts jurisprudence suggests an awareness of the unsuitability and illegitimacy of nation state law for the global online world.

This chapter highlights Paraguayan perspectives on the Hague Principles. Paraguay does not have a law dealing comprehensively and organically with Private International Law. The Civil and Commercial Code of 1987 contains the basic regulation on conflict of laws, and other provisions on the field can be found scattered in several special laws dealing with specific matters. Paraguay adhered, as a Member State, to the Hague Conference on Private International Law via Law 2555 of 2005. It is the first country in the world to legislate on international contracts heavily influenced by the Hague Principles. The Paraguayan law on international contracts drawn upon the Hague Principles openly allows the application of non-State law, and the International Institute for the Unification of Private Law (UNIDROIT) Principles clearly qualify as such.
