Introduction

Introduction 213 INTRODUCTION This issue, the last of Volume 7, commences with a well researched article by Dr. Ahmad Ajaj, a Lebanese lawyer, on Humanitarian Intervention: Second Reading of the Charter of the United Nations. Global views of the Arab world increasingly focus on the humanitarian aspects of outside intervention and, as Arab states are members of the United Nations, the possibilities of intervention are matters of present and future importance. Dr. Ajaj has produced a thoughtful article. The next article is by Geralyn Fallon, on Company Law in Yemen. The unification of the two Yemens has produced a great interest amongst foreign investors, and the article describes the new forms of business organisation permitted, and the methods of operation and organisation. In response to reader enquiry, and in fulfilment of our policy to provide legal materials as set out in [1992] ALQ 157 both the Egyptian and Jordanian Constitutions are pub- lished in English in this issue. The Egyptian Constitution is of fundamental relevance in the legislative framework of the country (and through its influence in other Arab states), and its provision in Article 2 that "the Islamic faith is the basic source of the legislation" is of ever increasing importance. The Jordanian Constitution, reflecting more of a mixed approach with a blend of recognisably Common Law and Civil Law concepts, is also of significance as one of the oldest constitutions in the Arab world. There then follows a short note on the Federal Code of Procedure of the UAE, provided by Chadbourne & Parke, and a note on Recent Developments in Bahrain provided by Afridi & Angell. TMP Agents have contributed a report on a trade mark case concerning the Scotch Whiskey Association. The case raised interesting questions, and the result is noteworthy. The text continues with notes on Ministerial Resolution No. 30 of 1992 from the UAE, on insurance brokerage, Law No. 1 of 1992 from Dubai on the establishment of an Economic Department, Federal Decree No. 31 of 1992 from the UAE on the Judicial Co-operation Treaty with France, and the UAE OPIC agreement with the USA. Ministerial Order No. 7 of 1991 from Kuwait on the enumeration and registration of foreigners is set out in translation, as is Ministerial Order No. 356/VUZ of November 1991 from Saudi Arabia on identity cards, and Ministerial Order No. 16 of September 1991 promulgating the new Professional Partnerships Law. The Editors and Publishers thank subscribers and readers for their continued interest, and look forward to future cooperation in Volume 8.

Abstract

213 INTRODUCTION This issue, the last of Volume 7, commences with a well researched article by Dr. Ahmad Ajaj, a Lebanese lawyer, on Humanitarian Intervention: Second Reading of the Charter of the United Nations. Global views of the Arab world increasingly focus on the humanitarian aspects of outside intervention and, as Arab states are members of the United Nations, the possibilities of intervention are matters of present and future importance. Dr. Ajaj has produced a thoughtful article. The next article is by Geralyn Fallon, on Company Law in Yemen. The unification of the two Yemens has produced a great interest amongst foreign investors, and the article describes the new forms of business organisation permitted, and the methods of operation and organisation. In response to reader enquiry, and in fulfilment of our policy to provide legal materials as set out in [1992] ALQ 157 both the Egyptian and Jordanian Constitutions are pub- lished in English in this issue. The Egyptian Constitution is of fundamental relevance in the legislative framework of the country (and through its influence in other Arab states), and its provision in Article 2 that "the Islamic faith is the basic source of the legislation" is of ever increasing importance. The Jordanian Constitution, reflecting more of a mixed approach with a blend of recognisably Common Law and Civil Law concepts, is also of significance as one of the oldest constitutions in the Arab world. There then follows a short note on the Federal Code of Procedure of the UAE, provided by Chadbourne & Parke, and a note on Recent Developments in Bahrain provided by Afridi & Angell. TMP Agents have contributed a report on a trade mark case concerning the Scotch Whiskey Association. The case raised interesting questions, and the result is noteworthy. The text continues with notes on Ministerial Resolution No. 30 of 1992 from the UAE, on insurance brokerage, Law No. 1 of 1992 from Dubai on the establishment of an Economic Department, Federal Decree No. 31 of 1992 from the UAE on the Judicial Co-operation Treaty with France, and the UAE OPIC agreement with the USA.
