No matter how many safeguards are put in place, it remains a decision that potentially risks the lives of men and women in the armed forces.
When lives are so directly influenced by political decision making, the question arises ...

The lingering reluctance in enforcing choice of law remains a challenging impediment to cross-border commercial relationships.
Strict adherence to the territoriality principle, absence of special provisions or clear guidelines of ch...

A Legal History of the Caribbean and the Americas
2022 || Paperback || Peter van den Berg || Eleven international publishing
When Christopher Columbus (circa 1451-1506) arrived at the Bahamas in 1492, it could hardly be predicted that this would result in the most dramatic upheaval in the history of the American continent and the nearby islands. The encounter with the new world inaugurated an era of conquest, colonisation, and economic exploitation by European powers that would last for several centuries. Large numbers of Europeans settled in these newly acquired territories, bringing along their own culture and re...
