The International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea is an independent judicial body established by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea to adjudicate disputes arising out of the interpretation and application of the Convention. The Tribunal is open to States Parties to the Convention. It is also open to entities other than States Parties (States and international organizations non-parties to the Convention and natural or juridical persons) in cases provided for in the Convention or other agreements conferring jurisdiction on the Tribunal. The Yearbook will give lawyers, scholars, students as well as the general public easy access to information about the jurisdiction, procedure and organization of the Tribunal and also about its composition and activities in 2004. The Yearbook is prepared by the Registry of the Tribunal and is also available in French (Annuaire 2004).
How does the hybrid nature of SWFs affect the application of state immunity to these funds? May an SWF be sued in foreign courts for wrongful acts committed in the course of its investment activities? Can SWF investments be attached by a private creditor seeking to enforce an investment arbitration award against the fund’s state of nationality? This monograph addresses these questions from the perspective of the 2004 New York Convention and six selected jurisdictions (US, UK, France, Germany, Italy, China), with the broader aim of highlighting potential new standards for implementation of the state immunity rule to SWFs.

La globalización ha permitido al crimen organizado ampliar sus rangos de acción a través de las fronteras nacionales. El tráfico de niños es un fenómeno mundial que involucra a distintos países para su perpetración. Las facilidades del transporte y la comunicación gracias a las nuevas tecnologías, las migraciones masivas, las crisis económicas y financieras mundiales que conllevan más pobreza y violencia, junto con la falta de medidas de protección adecuadas, son factores que inciden en el incremento del tráfico internacional de niños. Este delito es de extrema gravedad porque los delincuentes aprovechan la vulnerabilidad de niñas y niños utilizándolos como meras “mercancías”, separándolos ilegalmente de su familia y del país de origen o residencia, y abusando de ellos para conseguir ganancias y dividendos ilícitos. Esta obra procura reflejar algunos de sus resultados con el fin de visibilizar este flagelo que preocupa a toda la sociedad.
