T he ABA Section of International Law – the
gateway to international practice for the ABA’s
405,000 members – looks forward to welcoming
you to the 2005 Spring Meeting April 13-16, 2005,
“The Complete Lawyer: The Latest International
Developments.” We hope you will join us to take

advantage of this opportunity to meet with leading Chair, ABA Section of

with members of the Section. The following highlights Haynes and Boone, LLP
reasons why you should register today! Washington, DC

Learn from and network with upwards of one thousand bar leaders, international
practitioners, government officials, in-house counsel and leading academics from
around the world at the Section’s largest Spring Meeting in history.
This year’s Spring Meeting will feature the First Annual “Rule of Law Day” on
Wednesday, April 13. This will be a high-profile discussion of rule of law and
democracy in the world, trends in foreign assistance (public and private) and
activities of the American Bar Association. It will feature speakers from Congress,
and top executives from international and financial institutions, the Bretton Woods
Committee and the private sector, culminating with a reception at the Supreme
Court, hosted by Justice Sandra Day O’Connor. This emphasis reflects the Section’s
and ABA’s Commitment to Goal VIII – “To Advance the Rule of Law in the
World.” Throughout the conference, a “Rule of Law” track provides additional
programming on hot topics in law and international development. On Thursday
afternoon, a “Practitioners’ Roundtable” will discuss ways in which Section
members can volunteer for international pro bono opportunities, and new
efforts toward knowledge management and networking for past, present and
future volunteers.
Choose from over 50 practical and cutting edge general/ethics CLE
programs organized in eight tracks featuring high level speakers including
Ambassadors, Members of Congress, General Counsels and many other leading
attorneys. The tracks are: Trade Law (T), Business & Investment Law (BL/I),
Spotlight on Asia (A), Compliance (C), Dispute Resolution (DR), Public Law (PL),

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND THE ROLE OF
IN-HOUSE COUNSEL AND EXTERNAL COUNSEL (ROL)
The program covers the still imprecise notion of CSR and its relationship to
corporate governance, law and ethics, whether it should be voluntary or
mandatory, and whether it is just a marketing tool. The panel will discuss
CSR objectives (labor rights, environmental protection, and human rights), the
responsibility of business (stockholders or stakeholders, the soul of the corpora-
tion, social investment and social leadership) and national and international
initiatives (such as the ILO Tripartite Declaration, Global Sullivan Principles,
Caux Round Table, Amnesty International Guidelines, Social Accountability 8000,
OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, UN Global Compact, ICC steps to
reasonable business conduct, and UN Norms on responsibility of transnational
corporations). Roles of in-house and external lawyers will also be covered,
concluding with recommendations.

AROUND THE WORLD WITH THE ABA’S RULE OF
LAW ACTIVITIES (ROL)
The Berlin Wall fell, and the ABA was there, working to support the legal reform
process in Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. Today, the
ABA’s rule of law programming spans the globe, with programs in over thirty
countries in Asia, Africa, Latin America, Central Europe, Eurasia, and the Middle
East. At this kick-off session, leaders of the ABA’s rule of law councils and
programs will describe their activities, including those in hot spots like Iraq and
Sudan, discuss challenges in the emerging rule of law international development
field, distinguish the ABA from other rule of law providers, and identify ways for
ABA members to become involved with this work.

FUNDAMENTALS OF INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS
(Part II) (BL/I)
This is the second of a two-part program that addresses international letters
of credit and the prosecution of international trade disputes, using two
hypotheticals. (See above for speaker details).

PRIVATE SECTOR PERSPECTIVE ON ADVANCING THE RULE
OF LAW (ROL)
“Trade Not Aid” is a familiar rallying cry among many developing countries
and non-governmental organizations. But trade and investment are non-starters
where legal frameworks are either not in place or not enforced. Global trade

integration will be problematic if countries retreat from principles of democracy,
human rights and the rule of law. Concerns range from independence of the
judiciary, anticorruption, appropriate arbitration statutes and similar themes. This
high-level panel will cover rule of law from the critical private sector perspec-
tive, identifying priority areas for reform to make trade and investment a more
effective tool for global economic growth.

WHAT AM I GOING TO DO NEXT? HOW TO PLAN FOR THE JOB
AFTER YOUR MAIN LEGAL CAREER
In today’s more mobile, frequently changing and less stable job world of law
firm and corporate mergers, down-sizing and “right-sizing,” as well as early-
retirement and “buy-out” programs for government attorneys, many mid-career
lawyers in their late forties as well as the boomer vanguard in their fifties
approaching retirement find themselves asking “what’s next?” – whether by
choice or by chance. What options do more senior, experienced international
lawyers have? Rather than focusing on “how to find a mid- or late- career job,”
this panel will explore various options available to lawyers at this stage of their
careers, and how to plan for the transition from the legal job they may have
held for many years to the next legal undertaking.

RESPONDING TO CHANGING INSTITUTIONAL MODELS IN THE
INTERNATIONAL ELECTRIC POWER SECTOR (BL/I)
This program will present an interactive panel discussion designed to describe
and contrast institutional and legal reforms that have been undertaken in coun-
tries such as Brazil, New Zealand, Canada and South Africa, in response to
imperfections in the local electricity markets caused by the first generation of
electricity deregulation and in an effort to forestall impending power shortages.
The program will emphasize the identification and mitigation of new elements
of political and investment risk for foreign investors and foreign lenders and
will include presentation of the business perspective of international financial
institutions such as the IFC, OPIC, IADB lending or investing in each
subject country.

THE HILL PERSPECTIVE ON THE RULE OF LAW AND THE FUTURE
OF U.S. FOREIGN ASSISTANCE (ROL)
The President’s National Security Strategy cites three pillars for national security
– diplomacy, defense and development. In this context, development is not only
critical to world economic growth, but U.S. strategic interests. George W. Bush
has nearly doubled foreign assistance over the past four years, with substantial
sums destined for Iraq and Afghanistan. Main areas for investment globally have
been economic development, the environment, health, education, disaster assis-
tance and democracy. However, foreign assistance has always had its detractors
and has been little understood by the public. This panel will discuss the current
status, trends and future of U.S. foreign assistance, how U.S. foreign policy and
national security intersect with development assistance.

CARGO SECURITY: ARE WE SAFE YET? (PL)
The prevention of a weapon of mass destruction from entering the United States
hidden in international cargo arriving in or destined for the United States is the
primary mission of the new Bureau of Customs and Border Protection. The
statutory basis for the far-reaching changes in CBP security policies have yet to
be fully explored. In this program, we will look at the legal foundations for the
interdiction of weapons of mass destruction. This program will focus on the
legal bases, both for U.S. law and international treaties, Customs has used in
implementing changes in examining such cargo, as well as persons, and how
successful Customs has been in fulfilling its mission.

NUCLEAR WEAPONS, OUR SECURITY AND THE LAW (ROL) (PL)
There are still over 30,000 nuclear weapons, most many times more
destructive than Hiroshima. Thousands of Russian and American weapons
remain on hair-trigger alert. This May, the UN will review the nonproliferation
legal regime, centered on the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT). Severe
challenges face this regime and the integrity of fulfillment of NPT commitments,
with significant implications for international confidence in multilateralism and
the rule of law. Among these issues are:
1. The breakout of North Korea,
2. Threats to the control of nuclear materials and peaceful uses of
nuclear technology,
3. The dangers posed by non-State actors, and
4. The status of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty.
These challenges highlight the significance of the NPT’s obligations for negoti-
ated nuclear disarmament – an obligation that the ICJ unanimously agreed is a
binding legal commitment. An extraordinary panel of experts with diplomatic,
security, legal, legislative, intelligence and military experience will address these
critical issues.

This program will feature a panel of experts from the employment, benefits,
immigration and tax fields. The speakers will analyze hypotheticals addressing
global mobility issues faced by multinational companies moving personnel
around the globe. The program will have a specific focus on the international
legal issues that face high net-worth, well-placed business executives crossing
international borders and the complex income tax, estate tax and international
wealth transfer planning issues that the executive might encounter. A change
A G E N D A — T H U R S D A Y

of employment or place of employment can create significant repercussions
for executives and this panel will explore how such a move can impact the
employee’s fiscal and legal status and what pre-move planning might be
appropriate. A key focus will be upon the types of compensation and benefits
that the executive might receive, including wages, deferred compensation,
pensions, stock options, and fringe benefits and the role that a tax equalization
agreement might play.

ECONOMIC SANCTIONS IN THE 21ST CENTURY (BL/I) (C) (T)
The United States has imposed economic sanctions to further national security
and foreign policy goals for over 200 years. In light of recent sanctions events,
including problems with the UN Oil-for-Food program in connection with multi-
lateral sanctions on Iraq, the lifting of UN and U.S. sanctions against Libya, new
sanctions imposed on Syria, the expanding circle of sanctions in the war on
terrorism, and tightening sanctions on Cuba, this program will take a fresh look
at U.S. and multilateral sanctions policy. The panel of speakers will address
whether and under what conditions economic sanctions work and what makes
them fail; is the concept of “targeted sanctions” viable; are all the costs of
sanctions being adequately examined in the policy process; has the sanctions
aspects of the war on terrorism informed our judgment on what are “effective”
sanctions; and what will be the shape of future sanctions programs.

ARBITRATION IN ASIA: A COMPARATIVE REVIEW (A) (DR)
This program will present an analysis of the amenability and readiness of coun-
tries in Asia to permit, participate in arbitrations and enforce arbitration awards.
The program will look at how arbitration works in each country, how often it is
used, how efficient it is, restrictions (if any) on participation by foreign lawyers
and the difficulty or ease of enforcing arbitration awards in each country. It will
offer a practical examination by regional experts of arbitration law and practice
in Asian venues such as China, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore and Thailand.
Panel remarks are expected to address important institutions such as CIETAC
and SIAC, treaty adherence, the role of the rule of law in arbitral jurisprudence,
foreign practice restrictions, effective arbitration clause drafting, and award
enforcement.

Americas in November 2005. The leaders’ agenda includes significant commit-
ments related to promoting democracy, making democratic institutions work
better, combating corruption, increasing transparency, and strengthening the rule
of law. The Summit process, which includes inter-Summit ministerial and tech-
nical meetings and draws on the expertise in a wide range of international
organizations, plays a key role in establishing a common set of commitments
related to good democratic governance, provides a mechanism to hold govern-
ments accountable, and increases dialogue among governments, the private
sector and civil society organizations.

HOW U.S. TRADE LAWS CAN BE USED TO PROTECT VALUABLE
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY (BL/I) (T)
Intellectual property rights are an increasingly important component of any
company’s economic assets. With the rapid integration of national economies
through the global trading system, the protection of intellectual property rights in
A G E N D A — T H U R S D A Y

international trade is becoming a paramount concern. At the same time, many
national jurisdictions continue to have weak laws or enforcement policies,
creating a significant risk of infringement and theft of valuable IP. For example,
intellectual property right protection is among the top issues for any company
considering trade and investment in China.
This program will examine the various ways companies can protect their intel-
lectual property in cross-border trade and investment, and prevent infringing
products or activities from adversely affecting profitability. The panel of experts
will examine the procedures and remedies available through Section 337, an
important trade remedy tool that has seen a significant increase in use before
the International Trade Commission. Procedures enforced by U.S. customs

INTERNATIONAL LEGAL ASSISTANCE AND THE ABA — LESSONS
LEARNED AND “HOW TO” FOR APPROACHING LEGAL REFORM:
A PRACTIONERS’ ROUNDTABLE (ROL)
Over the past fifteen years, the ABA has become a leader in providing technical
legal assistance to emerging democracies throughout the world. Programs such
as CEELI, ABA-Africa, ABA-Asia, UNDP/ILRC, LALIC, and the CEELI Institute
have provided hundreds of Section members and other ABA volunteers with
exciting opportunities to work on fundamental rule of law issues in transitional
societies. State bars and affiliated organizations likewise have developed strong
programs focusing on these issues. Alumni from such projects have developed
tremendous skills in delivering assistance in these environments, making the
ABA and its members leaders in the international effort to promote the rule of
law. To capture, organize and increase this expertise, the Section plans to
organize and sponsor an ongoing dialogue among those interested in technical
legal assistance programs. Among the goals of this group will be to discuss
lessons learned, identify best practices, develop training models to prepare
volunteers for future assignments, and create linkages between assistance
A G E N D A — T H U R S D A Y

providers from around the world. This session will be an open forum on the
development of such a group, soliciting ideas and developing an implementation
plan for the Section’s programs in these areas.

THE FUTURE OF REPATRIATION: THE RESTITUTION OF SACRED
ITEMS AND HUMAN REMAINS (PL)
The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) created
a statutory scheme for addressing repatriation of Native American remains and
certain objects held by museums within the United States. But what about other,
non-Native American Indigenous objects of cultural patrimony? And, around the
world, museums care for tens of thousands of sets of human remains, some
identifiable and some not, some found within the borders of the institution’s
country, and some originally from beyond their borders. There are no interna-
tional laws addressing these areas, and only a few countries have laws similar
to NAGPRA.
This program will examine current attitudes towards repatriation and trends
under NAGPRA, as well as how museums, research institutions and countries,
in the absence of legislative guidance, have dealt with international or non-
NAGPRA repatriation requests. The panelists will also discuss existing and
proposed legislative responses, and examine the future of NAGPRA as well as
international and non-NAGPRA repatriation requests.

In the wake of Enron, WorldCom and other recent scandals leading to wholesale
examinations of corporate governance issues, such as the advent of Sarbanes-
Oxley and the movement by multinational corporations to implement compli-
ance programs so as to minimize their exposure and liability, non-profit

organizations world-wide are now being called upon to examine their practices
as well, and to implement compliance programs of their own. Does this make
sense? How are these programs structured? Will this become the practice of the
future? If so, how can non-profits benefit from corporate “best practices?”
Topics will include:
Avoiding inappropriate payments in challenging markets;
Ensuring that your organization does not become a tool for
money-launderers;
What NGO’s can learn from Sarbanes-Oxley “best practices;” and
Developing and implementing compliance programs for NGO’s.

Understanding the various legal regimes governing the transportation of goods
in international commerce is indispensable to all practitioners of international
trade law. Anyone who drafts sales contracts under the U.C.C. or the United
Nations Convention on International Sale of Goods (C.I.S.G) requires at least
A G E N D A — F R I D A Y

basic knowledge of contracts of carriage, as the costs and potential liabilities of
contracts of carriage can have a profound impact on the ability of their clients -
both buyers and sellers - to reach agreement. This program is designed to
provide trade-law specialists both with a brief overview of the law relating to
carriage of goods by sea, air, road, rail and multimodal means, and to discuss
why the international community to date has not been able to develop a
comprehensive regime of treaty-law governing transportation of goods.

RUSSIA’S YUKOS AFFAIR: THE USE AND ABUSE OF LAW
(ROL) (BL/I)
Russia’s infamous "Yukos Affair," the all-out attack by the entire panoply of
Russian governmental agencies and entities against Russia’s richest man, Mikhail
Khodorkovsky, has been in the news for more than 18 months. The moves
against Khodorkovsky, former CEO of Yukos, erstwhile "oligarch" and principal
owner of Yukos Oil Co., began after he was perceived to have failed to honor
the July 2000 understanding Russia’s oligarchs had reached with President Putin
to stay out of politics. Pretrial detention of the accused, countless abuses of the
attorney-client relationship, denial of medical assistance and government
sponsored "discovery" by masked gunmen preceded a direct assault on Yukos
Oil Co., the source of Khodorkovsky’s wealth. Tax assessments totaling nearly
$30 billion were lodged against Yukos while its ability to pay these assessments
was precluded when its bank accounts were frozen and asset sales forbidden.
While Putin maintains that the Yukos and Khodorkovsky proceedings are strictly
law enforcement matters for the Russian courts, the political nature of the Yukos
Affair is vividly apparent to the rest of the world, including several courageous
Ministers and advisors in the Russian government. The farcical December 2004
auction of Yukos’s principal operating subsidiary made permanent the destruc-
tion of Yukos’s more than $30 billion in market value held by more than 60,000
innocent shareholders. Panel members will offer their differing views of the
Yukos Affair and its implications for the Rule of Law in Russia.

PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS: THE BUILDING AND FINANCING
OF INFRASTRUCTURE IN LATIN AMERICA IN THE 21ST CENTURY
(BL/I) (ROL)
The decade of the ’90s saw attempts to privatize public services, such as trans-
port, electric generation and distribution, water and wastewater treatment and
hospitals, with some limited success stories and many failures, in Latin America.
Attempts to revisit and restructure the pure privatization model so that it is more
likely to succeed in the conditions prevailing in Latin America have resulted in
various public-private partnership approaches. This panel will explore alternative
modes of building, ownership and financing of public infrastructure in several
countries in Latin America with a view towards trend-spotting.

TRADE AND PUBLIC HEALTH: BALANCING TRADE LAW AND
HEALTH LAW CONSIDERATIONS IN RESPONDING TO PUBLIC
HEALTH CRISES IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES (PL) (T) (ROL)
The Doha Declaration on TRIPS and Public Health represents an important
compromise for developing countries trying to meet their public health needs
while complying with trade regulations. The TRIPS agreement recognizes that,
under certain circumstances, exceptions to intellectual property rights are
permitted to safeguard public health. Challenges lie in the interpretation of Art.
30 of TRIPS, which provides for an exception to patent rights, and amendments
to Art. 31(f) of TRIPS, which permits an exception for pharmaceutical production
for primarily domestic purposes. Under what circumstances are such exceptions
to the Agreement justified? Specifically, can these exceptions be used effectively
to respond to public health crises in the most affected areas such as Sub-Saharan
Africa in response to the HIV/AIDS crisis?
A G E N D A — F R I D A Y

The program will:
Educate participants on the public health exceptions under TRIPS, the Doha
Declaration and the August 2003 decision of the General Council, and the
potential use of these exceptions as a tool of health policy;
Examine the intersection between international trade law, public health and
human rights; and
Advance public policy goals of using trade law as a development tool.

2005 SPRING MEETING 41
The program will consider the following issues:
What are the circumstances that would give rise to such exceptions?
How have the WTO, General Council and others interpreted
these exceptions?
What is the position of USTR, the business community, NGO’s to
these exceptions?
How have the developing countries most affected by significant public health
crises sought to implement this Agreement? What is the capacity of these
countries to implement this Agreement?

INTERNATIONAL BRANDING THROUGH MASTER
FRANCHISING (BL/I)
Master franchising is the preferred vehicle for exporting U.S. franchise brands to
foreign countries — it is an arrangement under which the U.S. franchiser grants
a resident of a foreign country the right to replicate the franchise brand in the
master franchisee’s country. Master franchising arrangements vary considerably
based on industry practices, the economy, customs and culture of the master
franchisee’s country, the laws that govern franchising in the master franchisee’s
country, and the types and degree of support to be provided.
This program will explore the basics of forming an international master franchise
relationship, using a fictitious lodging industry franchise as the model. The pres-
entation will include best practices observations from four perspectives – those
of a U.S. franchiser’s outside franchise counsel; the franchiser’s in-house fran-
chise counsel; foreign counsel to the franchiser; and counsel to a foreign master
franchise prospect.

REFORMING THE UN HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION (ROL) (PL)
The UN Human Rights Commission is failing to carry out its vital mission of
setting international human rights standards and exposing violations. After a
sorry record in recent years of failing to condemn genocide in Sudan and
electing Libya as Chair, the need for reform has become urgent. The Section’s
Task Force on Reform of the UN Human Rights Commission, which includes
members with wide experience in dealing with the Commission, has completed
its report which offers numerous recommendations for improving the perform-
ance of the Commission. The recommendations include a restored focus on
legally-enforceable human rights, a Code of Conduct pledging members of the
Commission to honor their obligations under human rights treaties to which they
are party and to cooperate in investigations of the Commission, the imposition
of appropriate sanctions, including disqualification from future membership, for
violations of the Code, enhancing the professionalism of the Commission’s
investigative processes, and promoting the rule of law.

RESPONDING TO ANTIDUMPING INVESTIGATIONS
INITIATED BY THE CHINESE INVESTIGATORY
AUTHORITIES (A) (T)
The program is designed to give the audience an introduction to Chinese
antidumping proceedings and practice. The program will be introduced by the
Chinese official in charge of antidumping investigations. This official will address
the requirements for the initiation of an antidumping investigation, procedures
for responding in such investigations, and the actions that may be taken by the
Chinese regulatory authorities. Lawyers who are experienced in representing
respondents will then speak on how to effectively participate in an investigation
and share their insights on how to seek a favorable determination. The program
will also give first hand information on developments in the area of Chinese
antidumping law and policy.

A G E N D A — F R I D A Y

(Part 1) (BL/I) (DR)
This program will comprise three sessions in which attendees will learn how to
navigate the complex issues involved in international bankruptcies and hear
about developments.

Session One: Rumblings and Vibrations — How Good Are The
Numbers? (2:45-3:30)
The program opens with a practical session on recognizing the early warning
signs of a company in financial trouble. This session will examine what goes into
the creation of a company’s financial numbers, and the reliance on these financial
numbers by management, investors, creditors, suppliers and stakeholders.

2005 SPRING MEETING 45
Session Two: “Explosion — Causes of Action Worldwide”
(3:30-4:15)
This session will examine recent developments with regards to significant inter-
national bankruptcy litigation, including potential pitfalls associated with dealing
with a multijurisdictional debtor.

Session Three: “When the Smoke Clears — Finding a Foothold”
(4:30-6:00)
This session will examine the myriad jurisdictional issues arising during an inter-
national bankruptcy. This will include choice of law arguments, cooperation
between jurisdictions and a discussion of developments under UNCITRAL Model
Law and European Regulation.

THE MULTINATIONAL CORPORATION AND DEVELOPING COUN-
TRIES: DISCRIMINATION, LITIGATION, AND COMPLIANCE AND
VOLUNTARY CODES OF CONDUCT (BL/I) (C) (T)
Labor and employment compliance for the multinational corporation historically
has been local in nature. Increasingly, however, multinational corporations find
their employment practices subject to what may be called global law. For
example, U.S. anti-discrimination laws are slowly, but surely, being exported to
the European Union, which has issued directives prohibiting employment
discrimination based on numerous protected factors. U.S. law and the experi-
ence of U.S. companies and courts are a model for many of these new
overseas obligations.
Multinational corporations thus face difficult decisions as to what should be the
applicable standards for their activities, especially regarding labor practices and
the environment. Local laws often are lacking, or are inadequate, marked by
poor enforcement. Faced with the extra-territorial effect of U.S. employment law
prohibiting discrimination, as well as the equally disconcerting risk of adverse
publicity caused by accusations of unfair employment practices, some multina-
tional corporations develop international labor compliance programs. To fill gaps
in enforceable standards, many multinationals are adopting codes of conduct
developed by international institutions ranging from the United Nations to
various non-governmental organizations (NGO’s).
This program will discuss some of the most important topics facing the multina-
tional corporation today: the extra-territorial effect of U.S. employment laws, the
A G E N D A — F R I D A Y

companies’ response to those laws, company compliance programs and volun-
tary codes of conduct affecting the multinational corporation. This program will
explore common grounds of compliance and enforcement, as well as best prac-
tices for multinational corporations.

INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN THE TIME OF SARBANES-OXLEY
(BL/I) (C) (T)
Companies engaged in international trade are generally aware of the legal
requirements for compliance with the import, export and trade regulations.
Agencies as diverse as Customs & Border Protection, the Bureau of Industry and
Security, the Food and Drug Administration, and the Treasury’s Office of Foreign
Assets Control all impose compliance responsibilities on companies. What many
companies may have missed is that failure to properly comply with any of these
requirements may represent an event that should be reported to the corporate
audit committee or outside auditors. Under Sarbanes-Oxley, international trade
compliance has taken on a new dimension relating to corporate governance,
and, ultimately, to the very value of the company’s stock. This program will help
those responsible for trade compliance make the link between those activities
and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance.
