  • BUSINESS ORGANIZATION and CONTRACT LAW in KUWAIT by Howard L
    BUSINESS ORGANIZATION AND CONTRACT LAW IN KUWAIT by Howard L. Stovall Until the recent Iraqi invasion and subsequent successful outcome of Operation Desert Storm, it would probably have been necessary to start this article with a geographical, economic, and political outline of Kuwait. The extensive media coverage, however, means that (for good or bad) most people now have at least a basic knowledge of the country, albeit in a war-ravaged state. Nevertheless, the following brief points should be noted. Kuwait is a modern civil law jurisdiction which combines Islamic concepts with those of the Continental systems (such as France's), as well as trade custom and practice. Thus, the Kuwait legal system is similar to that in a number of the other Middle East countries, such as Egypt. Martial law was imposed by Amiri decree on 27 February 1991 with the cessation of hostilities, and it is expected to remain in place for at least three months. The Kuwaiti government has established a Reconstruction Committee (KRC) to deal with the country's emergency needs during the martial law period. It is estimated that today Kuwait has over $89 billion in foreign assets (which alone produce a substantial revenue) and has oil reserves for over 200 years. POST-WAR NEEDS At a conference in London on 18 March 1991, the Kuwaiti Ambassador to London, Mr. Gasi M.A. Al-Rayes, explained that with the cessation of hostilities Kuwait needs "everything", but that tenderers and suppliers will have to compete on price, quality and time in order to secure work.

  • Investment Climate Statement 2020
    2020 Investment Climate Statements: Kuwait EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Kuwait is a country of 1.4 million citizens and 3.3 million expatriates. It occupies a land mass slightly smaller than New Jersey, but possesses six percent of the world’s proven oil reserves and is a global top ten oil exporter. The economy is heavily dependent upon oil production and related industries, which are almost wholly owned and operated by the government. The energy sector accounts for more than half of GDP and close to 90 percent of government revenue. The fall in oil prices after OPEC+ failed to agree on production targets in 2019 greatly exacerbated Kuwait’s fiscal deficit. This was only heightened with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in dramatically reduced oil demand in the first and second quarters of 2020. No one can predict what a post-pandemic economy will look like, except that it is likely to be very different from what it has been. In the background looms the prospect for economic reforms and diversification as outlined by the government in its national development plan, called New Kuwait Vision 2035. As it develops the private sector to reduce the country’s dependence upon oil, the government faces two central challenges. It must improve the business climate to enable the private sector, and prepare its citizens to successfully work in the private sector. The government has made progress on the business climate, improving from 97 to 83 among 190 countries the World Bank’s 2020 Doing Business Report. Nonetheless, Kuwait remains the lowest ranked of its fellow Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries.

  • International Law Enforcement Cooperation in the Fisheries Sector
    International Law Enforcement Cooperation in the Fisheries Sector A Guide for Law Enforcement Practitioners February 2018 International Law Enforcement Cooperation in the Fisheries Sector: A Guide for Law Enforcement Practitioners FOREWORD Fisheries around the world have been suffering increasingly from illegal exploitation, which undermines the sustainability of marine living resources and threatens food security, as well as the economic, social and political stability of coastal states. The illegal exploitation of marine living resources includes not only fisheries crime, but also connected crimes to the fisheries sector, such as corruption, money laundering, fraud, human or drug trafficking. These crimes have been identified by INTERPOL and its partners as transnational in nature and involving organized criminal networks. Given the complexity of these crimes and the fact that they occur across the supply chains of several countries, international police cooperation and coordination between countries and agencies is absolutely essential to effectively tackle such illegal activities. As the world’s largest police organization, INTERPOL’s role is to foster international police cooperation and coordination, as well as to ensure that police around the world have access to the tools and services to effectively tackle these transnational crimes. More specifically, INTERPOL’s Environmental Security Programme (ENS) is dedicated to addressing environmental crime, such as fisheries crimes and associated crimes. Its mission is to assist our member
