Book Description
In August of 2004, an alert Maryland Transportation Authority Police officer observed a woman wearing traditional Islamic garb videotaping the support structures of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, and conducted a traffic stop. The driver was Ismail Elbarasse and detained on an outstanding material witness warrant issued in Chicago in connection with fundraising for Hamas.The FBI's Washington Field Office subsequently executed a search warrant on Elbarasse's residence in Annandale, Virginia. In the basement of his home, a hidden sub-basement was found; it revealed over 80 banker boxes of the archives of the Muslim Brotherhood in North America. One of the most important of these documents made public to date was entered into evidence during the Holy Land Foundation trial. It amounted to the Muslim Brotherhood's strategic plan for the United States and was entitled, "An Explanatory Memorandum: On the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America." The Explanatory Memorandum was written in 1991 by a member of the Board of Directors for the Muslim Brotherhood in North America and senior Hamas leader named Mohammed Akram. It had been approved by the Brotherhood's Shura Council and Organizational Conference and was meant for internal review by the Brothers' leadership in Egypt. It was certainly not intended for public consumption, particularly in the targeted society: the United States. For these reasons, the memo constitutes a Rosetta stone for the Muslim Brotherhood, its goals, modus operandi and infrastructure in America. It is arguably the single most important vehicle for understanding a secretive organization and should, therefore, be considered required reading for policy-makers and the public, alike.

Understanding Legislation
Author: David Lowe
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 150992132X
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 335
Book Description
“[This book] will be of great value to practitioners, students, academics and judges - whatever their level of experience. [...] The trouble for many legal practitioners, and indeed for many legal book writers, can be a failure to see the wood for the trees, and that is a particular risk when it comes to a subject as fissiparous as statutory interpretation. David Lowe and Charlie Potter are to be congratulated for having avoided that risk: they have written a crisp and engaging book, which covers this important topic in an informative and accessible way...” From the foreword by David Neuberger Understanding Legislation provides a practical, accessible guide to interpreting both English and European legislation of all kinds. This book can be used as a first port of call for practitioners and students on all matters of statutory construction. It is designed to serve as a succinct and authoritative point of reference for questions concerning sources of legislation, the anatomy and structure of differing instruments and matters of interpretation. As well as considering how to read statutory language, and the key principles and presumptions that the courts will apply, the book addresses how other legislation and materials can influence the interpretive exercise and in what way. To this end, it discusses the interpretive significance of the different components of legislation, the various external aids to construction that may exist, and the role of international law, the European Convention on Human Rights (through the Human Rights Act 1998) and EU law in interpreting domestic law. While the primary focus is on English law, the treatment of EU and international law will also serve as concise freestanding guidance as to the sources of EU law, the construction of EU legislation and the construction of treaties.

New Perspectives on Fiscal State Aid
Author: Carla De Pietro
Publisher: Kluwer Law International B.V.
ISBN: 9403514248
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 319
Book Description
New Perspectives on Fiscal State Aid Legitimacy and Effectiveness of Fiscal State Aid Control Edited by Carla De Pietro Based on a project co-funded by the European Commission, this book focuses on fiscal state aid – an increasingly important topic – with a number of high-profile cases ongoing and with serious implications for sustainable growth and the future of the internal market. The project, conducted by four universities, consisted in seminars, workshops and a final conference aimed at training national tax judges from the four different countries involved (Austria, Belgium, Italy and the Netherlands), with discussion and reflection by international academics and other tax professionals who participated as speakers and/or discussants. This book presents an in-depth analysis of the topics the project dealt with, taking a giant step towards defining the connection between effective state aid control, its legitimacy and a desirable functioning of the internal market for the twenty-first century. The core elements of this fundamental analysis include the following: selectivity as applied in the case law of the Court of Justice; whether and to what extent state aid law limits European Union (EU) Member States in designing anti-tax avoidance measures; protection of legitimate expectations; to what extent national judges are required to apply state aid rules ex officio; powers of national judges in connection with the national obligation of guaranteeing an immediate and effective recovery on the basis of an order issued by the European Commission; and connection between legitimacy of state aid law and effectiveness of state aid control. The book includes a thorough investigation of the notion of fiscal state aid, also by focusing on the most recent decisions of the European Commission concerning mismatches. Representing, as it does, an important and concrete contribution to the intense debate about the interpretation of the notion of fiscal state aid, with different normative views about the goals and functions of control, this book will stimulate solutions in terms of legitimacy of fiscal state aid control that also take into consideration the most desirable functioning of the internal market. It will be welcomed not only by academics in taxation and EU law but also by national tax judges, tax authorities and practitioners.

ISBN: 9041156259
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 874
Book Description
International Arbitration in the Netherlands With a Commentary on the NAI and PCA Arbitration Rules Albert Marsman About this book: International Arbitration in the Netherlands is a detailed English-language commentary and analysis on how international arbitrations seated in the Netherlands proceed under the most commonly used sets of arbitration rules. The Netherlands, long known for its encouragement and facilitation of arbitration as a forum for the resolution of international disputes, frequently draws multinational corporations, States, and international organizations from all parts of the world for the conduct of international arbitration. Over the past decades, several of the world’s largest international arbitrations have been seated in the Netherlands, including numerous investment arbitrations under the auspices of the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) in The Hague. This book contrasts the conduct of international arbitrations in the Netherlands with that in other jurisdictions. What’s in this book: By giving a complete insight into the primary sources of Dutch arbitration law – the Netherlands Arbitration Act of 2015 and its predecessor of 1986, its legislative materials, and published case law – the book includes such invaluable features as the following: 1,400 references to decisions of the Dutch State courts and arbitral tribunals seated in the Netherlands; more than 850 references to the legislative materials; extensive description of distinctions with the arbitration laws of England, France, Switzerland, Sweden, Singapore, as well as the UNCITRAL Model Law. complete commentary on the most recent version of the NAI Arbitration Rules and PCA Arbitration Rules; and extensive description of distinctions between the NAI Arbitration Rules and the PCA Rules, on the one hand, and the ICC Rules 2021 and the UNCITRAL Rules 2013 on the other. How this will help you: The book, focusing on the conduct of international arbitrations, is written by a highly experienced international arbitration counsel with extensive input from the members of the author’s firm. Arbitration practitioners, jurists, and academics worldwide are sure to appreciate the book’s incomparable scope and attention to detail.
