International Arbitration Law Library, Volume 65 International commercial arbitration is by no means free from bribery and corruption. Although a plethora of legal scholarship clearly affirms this contention, a thorough study on the particularly important question of the authority and duty of international commercial arbitrators to investigate a suspicion or indication of bribery or corruption sua sponte ¬– that is, on their own initiative – has been surprisingly lacking. This important book fills this gap, inter alia, by locating sua sponte authority in the position of arbitral tribunals in establishing the facts of a case and ascertaining and applying the applicable normative standard...
International supply chains operate through efficient and secure processes, especially regarding the location and conditions under which the delivery of goods subject to sale will occur. To delineate their respective obligations, companies engaged in international transactions rely on a standardized set of terms and regulations known as the Incoterms rules. The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) regularly revises and issues these rules to keep them current with industry practices. This manual explains in a didactic manner the effective use of the Incoterms 2020 rules and provides criteria for choosing the most appropriate rule for each sales transaction. The author offers valuable insights to minimize business risks, optimize costs, and facilitate operations in international markets. This book is aimed at professionals in international trade and freight transportation, as well as those involved in training in these fields. It includes examples, practical cases, and self-assessment tests to strengthen training and professional performance.

Widely regarded as the most important ground for refusal under the 1958 United Nations Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards (New York Convention), Article V(1)(b), commonly referred to as the ‘due process’ clause, is interpreted in diverse ways across jurisdictions. This book not only thoroughly examines the variety of approaches to the clause adopted by different national courts but also presents a particular understanding of the transnational approach to the due process defence grounded in the interpretative framework of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties. Drawing on insights and methods from comparative law that consider not only national ...
Attribution in International Law and Arbitration critically discusses and proposes solutions for the application of the international rules of attribution (or attributability, imputation, imputability) of unlawful conduct of States in the domains of public international law, international investment law, and international business law

Moreover, the author proposes a set of deeply informed guidelines for the future application of good faith by arbitral tribunals to both the parties’ contract and the arbitration agreement. This book provides a comprehen...
Aquest llibre s'inscriu en el marc d'una historiografi a sobre l'antifranquisme que està avui necessitada d'una nova empenta. I ho fa ocupant-se dels principals protagonistes de l'oposició a la dictadura, els comunistes. Cal apuntar, a més a més, el nombre limitat d'investigacions rigoroses sobre el PSUC —i el PCE—, sobre l'organització que pot ser considerada com el "partit de l'antifranquisme". La continuada activitat, de la fi de la guerra civil a la transició a la democràcia, la nombrosa militància, en termes relatius, és clar, i ateses les condicions de persecució i clandestinitat, el decisiu paper en els moviments socials que van erosionar profundament la dictadura des de...
