The global financial crisis of 2008 has given way to a proliferation of international agreements aimed at strengthening the prudential oversight and supervision of financial market participants. Yet how these rules operate is not well understood. Because international financial rules are expressed through informal, non-binding accords, scholars tend to view them as either weak treaty substitutes or by-products of national power. Rarely, if ever, are they cast as independent variables that can inform the behavior of regulators and market participants alike. This book explains how international financial law 'works' - and presents an alternative theory for understanding its purpose, operation and limitations. Drawing on a close institutional analysis of the post-crisis financial architecture, it argues that international financial law is often bolstered by a range of reputational, market and institutional mechanisms that make it more coercive than classical theories of international law predict

The rapid development of information and communication technology has increased the opportunities for criminals to commit cybercrime. As many countries, Palestine faces problems countering cybercrime from both the legislative and technical perspectives. Palestinian courts deal with the matter using one of two approaches. In some instances, public prosecutors choose not to prosecute the act due to the fact that there is no provision of law applicable to the conduct. In others, they adapt the related conventional provisions of the Criminal Code to the conduct. To counter cybercrime, the Palestinian legislature should enact a cybercrime law, which is compatible with the Council of Europe Convention on Cybercrime, or incorporate the Arab Convention on Combating Information Technology Offences of 2010 in the Palestinian legal system.

Meanwhile, the cooperation of the international community, as a whole, including the different formal and informal agencies in each country becomes necessary. ; Zamalah Program
