“Foreign Sovereign Immunity Act,” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Foreign_ Sovereign_ Immunities_Act.
Reading response questions: Answer one question. Please copy the question to your answer sheet.
(1) A number of other states, including Australia, Canada, South Africa, and the United Kingdom, have codified the restrictive theory of sovereign immunity. However, the shift from the absolute to the restrictive theory of immunity is hardly universal; China, India, Indonesia, and Russia, among others, still adhere to the absolute theory of immunity. What factors might prompt states to adopt the restrictive theory?
(2) What justification does the ICJ give for privileging Germany’s sovereign immunity over Italy’s ability to exercise jurisdiction over acts on Italian soil? What normative principle supports the finding that Germany’s sovereign immunity should take precedence over the right of Italian citizens to recover for widespread violations of core international legal norms? Note that, in analyzing the customary international law of sovereign immunity, the Court observed:
“the rule of State immunity occupies an important place in international law and international relations. It derives from the principle of sovereign equality of States, which, as Article 2, paragraph 1, of the Charter of the United Nations makes clear, is one of the fundamental principles of the international legal order. This principle has to be viewed together with the principle that each State possesses sovereignty over its own territory and that there flows from that sovereignty the jurisdiction of the State over events and persons within that territory. Exceptions to the immunity of the State represent a departure from the principle of sovereign equality. Immunity may represent a departure from the principle of territorial sovereignty and the jurisdiction which flows from it.”
(3) Are you persuaded by the Court’s statement that permitting an exception to sovereign immunity for serious violations of human rights law would require a court “to hold an enquiry into the merits in order to determine whether it had jurisdiction”? If so, does the same argument apply to permitting a commercial activity exception to sovereign immunity?
(4) Sovereign debt restructuring is a recurrent issue and repeatedly reveals the need for an organized restructuring process. Some observers propose the addition of clauses permitting a super-majority of bondholders approve a debtor’s restructuring proposal. This approval would bind all bondholders, eliminating the possibility of hold-outs. Others propose creation of a treaty-based international bankruptcy regime, which would permit states to discharge their debts. As among contract, treaty, or politics, which do you think is the best approach to the problem of sovereign debt restructuring?
(5) Can the judgments of the ICJ and the Italian Constitutional Court be harmonized? Can you justify judicial outcomes finding that international jus cogens norms cannot displace international legal immunities from jurisdiction, but fundamental constitutional rights can?
(6) Take one of the notable cases from this link and answer the question: why did the doctrine of state immunity prevail or fail in the finnal judgement? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_Sovereign_Immunities_Act.

“The Thrill of Victory on the Soccer Field: My Favorite Place in Nigeria”
My favorite place was the soccer field back home in Nigeria. It was where I felt at my happiest because of the ability I had back then playing soccer and being around my friends while we all played soccer, being competitive and also loving the fast game of football like we call it out there. The atmosphere was always at its best when it rained because we could get wet as kids and still play the sport we loved so much. The amount of goal I scored always mattered to me because I wanted to be the best player among my friends. I remembered we had to play an inter-school match with a different school and they were beating us 3-0 and it was a match we had to win for bragging right to prove that our school was the best in the district. I feel the anger of being laughed on by the students from the other school. So I took the game so seriously and played one of the best games of my life till date scoring four goals in the space of 15mins to win the match and two minutes towards the end of the game I got snubbed off and I got a standing ovation from the whole school and till this day i remember how I felt, what the field looked like, how it smelt like and the emotions that I went through that whole game.

Title: Analyzing Correlational Studies and Presenting Findings to Stakeholders
It is important for you to able to analyze a correlational study and explain how it differs from a cause-and-effect outcome.
Using the same scenario you used in Part I and II of this project, you will now present your findings to your company or clinic staff, including CEOs (think about your audience).
Part A:
Provide a response to the following prompts.
Imagine your research team has been tasked with finding the correlation of 2 variables from your scenario. The data below includes 4 research participants’ data for variable 1 (high scores mean better of variable 1) and data for variable 2 (high scores mean more of the variable). The scores are as follows:
Person
Variable 1
Variable 2
1
1
10
2
1
8
3
2
4
4
4
-2
Describe the process your research team would go through by completing the following:
Create a scatter diagram of the scores.
Describe in words the general pattern of correlation, if any.
Figure the correlation coefficient.
Explain the logic of what you have done, writing as if you are speaking to someone who has never heard of correlation (but who does understand the mean, standard deviation, Z scores, and hypothesis testing).
Provide 3 logically possible directions of causality, indicating for each direction whether it is a reasonable explanation for the correlation based on the variables involved. Explain your answer.
Part B:
Assume your research is complete and you have written your research article. Now it’s time to make a public presentation for your company/clinic.
Consider your audience and the language you will need to use to make this presentation clear for all participants.
Create a 10- to 12-slide Microsoft PowerPoint presentation (cover slides and references do not count in this number) using the information you gathered and submitted in Parts I and II.
Include the following in your presentation:
Describe the problem and provide some brief background information about the situation.
Explain the research hypothesis.
Describe your sample and your sampling method.
Explain the 4 steps of the research process you followed.
Define the critical value and the test statistic your analysis provided.
Include your scatterplot and correlation findings from Part A.
Provide the main finding of the study. What did you prove or fail to prove?
Provide recommendations based on your findings.
Each slide must have 4 to 5 bullet points with 4 to 5 words for each point plus speaker notes. The bulk of your explanation will go in the speaker notes. This is where you will write and put what you would say when giving this presentation to your audience. This is an academic presentation; therefore, keep the bells and whistles to a minimum and make this a clean, professional-looking presentation. It is a visual presentation, so tasteful and related images are appropriate.
Format any citations in your presentation according to APA guidelines. Also, if photos are used, they need to be referenced according to APA guidelines. -
