Elucidating the CIA’s post-9/11 justice program

14:18 05/11/2013 More than a decade has passed since that sunny fall morning when four hijacked passenger planes brought the US to its knees. The coordinated attacks of September 11, 2001 killed nearly 3,000 people, obliterated New York’s Twin Towers, caused the partial collapse of the Pentagon, and unrecognizably altered the face of US national security. The attacks compelled security agencies such as the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to improvise tools with which to confront a threat unprecedented in the annals of war: worldwide, stateless, ideology-driven terrorism.

John Reynolds on the Russian trend of London litigation

10:00 07/10/2013 Quite a few cases linked in one way or another to Russia have passed through England’s courts and arbitration tribunals. As a growing number of business contracts stipulate that disputes should be governed by English law, the list continues to grow. Meanwhile, Russia has resolved to draw cases back to its own courts, aiming to tackle some of the judiciary’s more prominent issues.

Irina Paliashvili: "Do not put legal business under pressure"

11:53 04/09/2013 Ukraine's legal services market is an incredibly intimate phenomenon among the former Soviet Union republics, retaining an appealing identity: with some exceptions, it has no place for foreigners, and it is dominated by motivated local legal firms. The biggest shock for the rapidly growing market was the financial crisis, which spread across Ukraine in 2008 and consequences of which are here even nowadays. As a result, the business development model had to be revised. Irina Paliashvili, President of the Ukrainian Legal Group, P.A., explained in the interview to RAPSI that the legal atmosphere has drastically changed and it is time to talk about new reality.

Navigating the fine line between whistleblowing and espionage

19:31 28/08/2013 When one reveals classified information, acquired by way of high-level security clearance, to the public at large – is s/he a whistleblower or a spy? What if our hypothetical leaker was motivated at least in part by the desire to expose official wrongdoing, or should that even matter where national security is concerned?

Russia implores US to observe international law as Syria rhetoric mounts

17:44 27/08/2013 The Russian Foreign Ministry issued a statement Tuesday warning the US and the international community as a whole to remain strictly and prudently observant of international law in light of increasingly fervent reports of a possible military intervention in Syria.
