Description
This course surveys the basic laws, regulations and policies that constitute international banking regulation. The course will examine the practical banking law implications of typical international banking transactions, such as international loan syndications and letter of credit, and the legal responsibilities of banks in the facilitation of the international sales of goods and services. Further, the course will explore the work of the Basle Committee on Bank Supervision of the Bank for International Settlements, reviewing two infamous international banking scandals and how they led to the creation of the Basle Committee. Further, the course will review the development of comprehensive global bank supervision standards and how these international standards are used in U.S. supervision of foreign banking establishments. In the context of the international financial crisis, the course will also examine the recent activities by the U.S., U.K. and other countries to address the weaknesses in the international financial system, including the recent U.S. Troubled Assets Relief Program legislation. Finally, the course will survey issues in anti-terrorist and money laundering laws related to banking organizations.
