  • Keeping Political and Criminal Responsibility Separate
    Declassified AS/Jur (2012) 28 declassified 25 September 2012 ajdoc28 2012 declassified Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights Keeping political and criminal responsibility separate Information memorandum on the case of Geir Haarde, former Prime ∗∗∗ Minister of Iceland Rapporteur: Pieter Omtzigt, Netherlands, Group of the European People’s Party 1. Introduction 1. As indicated in the Introductory Memorandum, 1 the case of former Icelandic Prime Minister Geir Haarde is arguably one of those cases from which lessons can be drawn for keeping political and criminal responsibility separate. 2. My fact-finding visit to Iceland from 6-9 May 2012 was very instructive, and I should like to reiterate my thanks to the Icelandic delegation for its hospitality and the efficient organisation of the visit. As indicated at the Committee meeting on 21 May 2012 in Paris, I should like to present my findings on the Icelandic case in the form of this information memorandum. I will begin by summing up the facts of this case (2.) and presenting the interpretation they have been given by the two sides of the dispute (3.), and conclude by offering my own assessment, in the light of the information and views provided by our legal experts, Professor Satzger from Munich and Professor Verheij from Leiden. 2. Summary of the facts of the case of former Prime Minister Geir Haarde 3. Iceland suffered a severe economic setback in 2008/2009 in the wake of the world-wide banking crisis triggered by the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers in the United States. The situation in Iceland was worse than in other countries in that the Icelandic banks in crisis (Landsbanki, Kaupthing and Glitnir) were far larger, in proportion to the country’s GDP, than those elsewhere, 2 during the same world-wide financial crisis.

  • Comparing the Financial Crises in Iceland and Ireland
    Financial crises in Iceland and Ireland: Does EU and Euro membership matter? This working paper by Prof Baldur Thorhallsson and Prof Peadar Kirby is being published by TASC in Dublin and by the Centre for Small State Studies at the University of Iceland in Reykjavik. Financial Crises in Iceland and Ireland | November 2011 Financial crises in Iceland and Ireland: Does EU and Euro membership matter? Baldur Thorhallsson and Peadar Kirby1 Introduction The collapse of the banking systems in Iceland and Ireland in 2008, the impacts on economy and society of this collapse, and the measures taken by the political authorities in each country to deal with the crises, have all been the subject of extensive commentary (see for example, Krugman (2009, 2010) and O’Brien (2011c)). Yet little attention has been devoted to the role that membership of the European Union (EU) and of the Euro played in the case of Ireland, contrasted with Iceland which is a member of neither. This is the purpose of this report. It begins by situating the study in the political science literature on small states, framing it as testing the claim in this literature that small states prosper better by being members of multilateral organizations that provide them with a shelter, particularly valuable at a time of economic and political crisis. The report then examines the Irish and Icelandic cases under three headings – their respective economic booms before the crises, the trajectory of the crisis in each country, and the role of EU membership and of the Euro in the Irish case compared with its absence in the case of Iceland.

  • Modernizing Government in the Channel Islands: New Political Executives in British Crovvn Dependencies
    Modernizing Government in the Channel Islands: New Political Executives in British Crovvn Dependencies Philip Morris* Abstract This article examines recent reforms of internal government arrangements in the Channel Islands jurisdictions of Jersey and Guernsey. These reforms represent the most far-reaching changes in insular government for over half a century in response to concerns over slow and poor-quality decision-making, conflicts of interest, absence of effective accountability mechanisms and external critique of aspects of the Islands' offshore finance sectors, upon which their economies are heavily dependent. The article is structured into three sections. Section I outlines the constitutional position of both jurisdictions, the pressures for reform and the political economy of British offshore finance centres. Section II critically evaluates key features of the new systems and their performances to date. The final part, Section III, highlights key themes including the necessity for external pressure as a trigger for reform, selective/diluted implementation of reform packages and the problem of genuine accountability in small jurisdictions. Keywords: Jersey, Guernsey, governments, reform, offshore, accountability I. Background: Constitutional Context and the Political Economy of British Isles Offshore Finance Centres The Channel Islands of Jersey and Guernsey are distinct jurisdictions which enjoy a constitutional status that can only be characterized as 'unique'.' They are neither part of the United Kingdom nor colonies: * Independent public law researcher; e-mail: [email protected]. The background work for this article was prepared while the author was Senior Lecturer in Law at the University of Stirling. The author expresses his gratitude to those officials of the States Public Libraries in St Helier, Jersey and St Peter Port, Guernsey for their assistance during field trips to the Islands.
