Ill the ,kliter of the Petl"ion u/ Aki-inlou h.1 Abeb Abmud, NVo. 89-(J 715,Lexis 11454, (EW.).N. Y Sepiemb er 26,1989).

In :t cmtiprehensive decision til extra-dit i in,1udgU eX6inslin held that ccLiNismuitst pl av a largetr role in examining re-IIests for extiradiitictn, because theUnited States 110 I Ilnge- pr ('iIdes all at-t()latic exemption froinm extraditioin I )rp)litical oflenses. Cut ltS must iiAw as-sure thenselves that i foreign govern-mnlt is tn0t using false allegations 1)teliminate its political Opponents. Theym1U.St also aSSlre thelmselves that the re-questing Coiuntry will pr itect the humanInrights of" the accised b\ inquiring intothe fairness Of tile foreign systen (of

criminal justice.This case invollved aln Israeli request

for the extradition Of Mahmitund El-Abed Ahmad ill 1987 in connection withan attack (in a1 bus ca t1rillg Israeli settlersin tile occtpied \West Bank. The bus driv-er and One passenger were killed. Mr.Ahmad is a ilaturalized United States cit-izen who. was in Venezuela soIletileafter the attack. The Israeli governmentinitially asked Venezuela to extraditehini, but Israel and Vellezela do nothave an extradition treat\, Instead of ex-traditing himi to Israel, the Venezuelansdeported hiin to tile Uitied States, in-forming U.S. Officials (of the plane thatwould take him back to tile U.S. Onboard the aircraft, FIl agents arrestedAhnad and placed him in detentionipIin arriving in New Ni\rk.

Ahrnad first went before a magistratewho fould that lie could ncit be extra-dited Under the I.S.-Israel Treaty be-cause it has an exception for politicaloffelnSeS and because Ahmad s arrest otithe plane was illegal. There is no appealfrom a magistrates refusal to extradite,but the U.S. attorney may request a hear-ing dc IlOVO and did so in this case.

At the second hearing, Ahmad ap-peared before a district court judge sit-ting as magistrate. Tile judge found thatthe extradition was not barred by thepolitical exception clause because it in-volved the killing of civilians. And thearrest on the plane, even if unlawful,

c(uld n0t len' tile Cout t t jurisdiciOn 1thear the extraditi(in teq(uest.

Following tile seccond hearing, AhladpCtitiOtICd fo r a writ O if habeas cc)rpms.I Ie argied in the itI-st instance that thesecond hearing violated his pro tectionagainst dOuble jeoXdy, and the princi-pIe ofres ju11dicata. I he argued further thateven if the second hearing were prope;Ile faced treatment in Israel which mI.UStbe considered "antipailitic" to ile courtwhich should pre'etit his extradition.

Judge Weinstein in a third hearingfound clear precedelt fOr pe-littingitltil)le de n tvci hearings when extradi-

tioln is denied since the governnent hasno right of appeal. I lie also found prece-dent holding that all unlawful arrestcould not retmve the couLt jurisdictioinunless the arrest invOIlved torture Orother shocking behavior not foitnd inthis case. On the other hand, lie held thata hearing in a habeas petition in an extra-dition case could inclide a more con-prehensive review than in other habeasproceedings, including adIllission Of fu r-ther evidence. The court ImuSt accept thefindings of fact from the prior hearinginless clearly unreasonable, but couldreceive mixed questions of law and factand qIestions Of law.Judge Weinstein considered at length

the current status of the political excep-tion doctrine. I le noted that in the pastthe United States refused to extraditepersons who committed crimes, evenviolent acts, if the acts were incident to apolitical cause. In recent years, however,the State Department and some courts,including the 7th Circuit, have movedaway from this position. If the violent actis directed at civilians, the political ex-ception doctrine will niot apply The 9thCircuit, however, still looks to see if theoverriding puLrpose of the act was politi-cal and the violence only incidental.

The United States must, according toJudge Weinstein, look to internationalstandards to resolve this issue. The Ge-neva Conventions, Cesigned to governthe conduct of persons involved in vio-lent struggle, forbid the targeting of civil-ians. Judge Weinstein would still applythe political exception to extradition,even for violent acts, but only if the ic-

cuscd can imeCt a thi'e-e part test: I) hecotlltL the act during disturbances,2) it was incidcntal t0 tile disturba ncesand 3) tile act does n)t violate the law of

The court then considered whetherIsraels po)ssible treat ment (if tihe peti-ti(ner light be antipathetic to the court.The government argued that1 the court isnot pernitted to inq(uirte into) the fairnessof another governments criminal just iceSyStein. Judge \Vinstein acknowledgedthat the execitive branch llays a largerole in ensuriig that the persoins extra-dited from the U nited States will nott betreated unfairly in tile requesLting State.The execLtive will not enter into extradi-tion treaties with certain states and tileSecretary of State may forbid the extradi-lion of aty persotn. The courts also play arole in ensuring fairness. Weinsteinnoted that the Eurpean Court ofI luman Rights in the Soering Case (re-viewed in the last issue of ILN) ri'lade athorough Stldy of how Soering wouldbe treated if extradited to the UnitedStates. The European Court decided notto permit Soerings extradition becauseof the inhumane conditions oti Virginia'sdeath row

Judge Weinstein suggested that the de-cision might not have been entirely cor-rect, but he agreed that courts must in-quire into whether a persons humanrights might be violated if lie is extra-dited.judge Weinstein held that interia-tional law is part of United States law,including international human rightsnorns.

The petitioner presented evidencefrom Amnesty International and the Law-yers Committee for 1 lunian Rights Un-der Law that the Israeli police have corn-millted torture when trying to getconfessiins from Arab prisoners and inother settings. I Ic also presented evi-dence that Israeli courts will pertint co-erced confessions ill sone cases whileUnited States courts will not. Nev-erthelessJidge Weinsteitn found that be-cause tile attack occurred three yeats agohe doubted that the Israeli police hadreason to torture Ahmad. Israel gave as-surances that it would protect Mr,

Ahmads due process rights, and the StateDepartment promised to send an ob-server to the trial since Mr. Ahmad is aUnited States citizen.

Based on these assurances, the courtfelt Mr. Ahmads due process rights andhuman rights would be sufficiently pro-tected. The court held that the attack onthe bus invlved a premeditated attackon a civilian target and so Mr. Ahmad didnot qualify for the political exception.Judge Weinstein ordered his extraditionto Israel.

Autocephalous Greek- OribodoxChurch of Ciprs 1! Gohberg & IeldanFine Arts, Inc. 717 F Supp. 1.374 (S.I).hId. 1989).

InI this case that captured the attentionof the international art vorld, DistrictJudge Noland ordered an Indianapolisart dealer to return four 6th centurymosaics to the Greek-Orthodox Churchof Cyprus even though the dealer claim-ed to be a good faith purchaser.

Judge Noland ordered tile art re-turned to Cyprus, after holding that tilestatute of limitations to replevy missingartwork would only begin to run fromthe time the party seeking tile art learnsof its whereabouts and not from the timeit is found to be missing. lie also heldthat art dealers cannot claim to be goodfaith purchasers unless they have under-taken careful investigations to discoverhow the art ended up for sale. Appar-ently the practice to date has been to askfew questions. The case may, therefore,change tile behavior of art buyers andprovide assistance to governments try-ing to retrieve national art treasures.

In 1977, the Republic of Cyprus learn-ed that the Kanakaria mosaics were miss-ing. According to an authoritative study,the mosaics were created around 530A.D. and are I of only 6 or 7 examplesremaining of an important period of By-zantine art. The Republic began a sys-tematic program of searching for themissing art. It notified UNESCO, the pri-mary international body charged withprotecting cultural heritage, and numer-ous other private and commercial or-ganizations concerned with stolen art. Inaddition, every year Cyprus circulatesinformation on its missing culturalheritage to hundreds of addresses on amailing list. As a result of these efforts,when an art dealer in Indianapolis called

the Getty Museum in California and of-fered the mosaics for sale in tile fall of1988, a Getty curator knew Cyprus wasseeking tile mosaics and contacted itsembassy in Washington. The embassybrought action ill the southern district ofIndiana to seek tile replevy of themosaics.

Tile dealer, Peg Goldberg of Goldberg& Feldnan Fine Art, argued that she hadmade a good faith purchase from an-other dealer in Switzerland in luly 1988and, therefore had good title and did nothave to return tile mosaics. Moreover,-she argued that under Indiana law thestatute of limitations for an action to re-cover personal property is six years fromthe time tile cause of action occurs. Sheargued that by 1988, Cyprus' suit wastine-barred.

Tile Indiana District Court, sitting illdiversity, applied Indiana substantiveprocedural law to tile statute of limita-tions question. In disease cases, Indianarecognizes the discovery date as the datefrom which a statute of limitations willrun. It also has a rule that the limitationsperiod will not run in cases of fraudulentconcealment. The court decided thatboth of these rules could properly beapplied to Cyprus' cause of action.Cyprus could not reasonably bring suituntil the mosaics were discovered in thefall of 1988, but even if that view of thecase did not apply, because the mosaicshad been fraudulently concealed,Cyprus was not time-barred. The courtnoted Cyprus' diligent efforts to find themosaics and held that under doctrines offairness and equity, the court could notproperly dismiss the suit.

Before deciding the issue of title, thecourt had to decide the applicable sub-stantive law It held that Indiana law ap-plied under the most significant contactstest and that under Indiana law, a thiefcannot pass good title. The court as-sumed that because the church had notgiven permission for tile mosaics to beremoved, someone must have stolenthem in the first place and, therefore, Ms.Goldberg could not have gotten goodtitle regardless of where or from whomshe bought them.

While confident that Indiana law ap-plied, tile court analyzed the good faithissue under Swiss law, because the con-tract for the mosaics was made inSwitzerland. Under Swiss law a pur-chaser in good faith may take good titleeven firom a thief. But a bad faith pur-

chaser never takes title to stolen goods.The court found that in this case, MIs.Goldberg acted in bad faith judging 1)ythe circumstances surrounding her pur-

chase of the mosaics.Before buying the mosaics, NIs. Gold-

herg generally dealt in 181h and 19thcentury paintings. In the summer of1988 she traveled to Amsterdam whereshe met another Indiana art lealeI-,Robert Fitzgerald, to look at aModigliani. Goldberg testified that shewas only all acquaintaulce of Fitzgeraldsand that she knev he used a variety ofaliases and had been sued in tile pastregarding a vork of art. Neverthelesswhile in Amsterdam, Fitzgerald showedGoldberg pictures of the mosaics, andshe immlediately expressed interest illthem. She entered into discussions WithFitzgerald, a Dutch art dealer named vanRijn, who had convictions for forgeryand an American lwyer naled Faulk.They told her that the owner of themosaics had to sell them quickly becausehe needed cash.

Within a few days they flew to Genevaand met a Turk, named I)ikman, at theGeneva free port, who purportedlyowned tile mosaics. l)iknan introducedhimself and left without further discus-sion. After seeing the mosaics, Goldberg,agreed to buy them and by relying onpersonal ties at in Indianapolis bank,she quickly arranged to pay for themwith a cash loan of $1.2 million dollars.Within a few months Ms. Goldberg of-fered to sell the mosaics to tile Getty for$20 million.

Goldberg testified that she did callUNESCO while in Geneva and IFAR aswell as customs in tile US, FRG andSwitzerland to see whether the mosaicswere stolen, but she did this after agree-ing to buy tile art, and Judge Nolandcould find no evidence of the allegedinquiries, lie held that she should havemade an extensive search into Dikmansownership of the mosaics and found herbehavior was not that of an honest andprudent person.

Tile case provides authority that gov-ernments seeking to retrieve art trea-sures should not be time-barred frombringing a replevy action if they havemade diligent efforts to locate the art. Italso puts art dealers on notice that thereis a risk in making quick, speculativedeals.

A $200 million grant for fiscal year1990 was authorized and appropriatedas the U.S. contribution to an interna-tional fund to help stabilize Polandsecotnom\ The authorization act also il-lows Poland to sell bonds in tile tUnitedStates at below-market rates.

The authorization act also includesseveral provisions designed to stinlulatePolish and I lungarian trade. Certain Pol-ish and I lungarian products became eli-gible for preferential tariff treatment un-der the Generalized Systen of Prefer-ences. Congress also made Poland andlungarv eligible for Export-Import

Bank and Overseas Private InvestnentCorporation (OPIC) programs. Up to$40 million worth of OPIC insurance wasappropriated for IJ.S. investment in Pol-and for fiscal 1990.

Steel Agreements Implementa-tion Act Signed: The "Steel Trade Lib-eralization Program ImplementationAct" (Pub. L. 101-221 ) became law on)ecember 12, 1989. The enacted law

gives the President authority to enforcethe recently renegotiated voluntary re-straint arrangements (VRAs), limiting theitlport of steel into tie U.S., with nuner-OuS steel exporting countries, The Actextends the quota authority until March31, 1992. The Presidents signing state-tient emphasized the Administrationscommitment to negotiations to con-clude In international consensus to re-duce and eliminate subsidies and otherbarriers to trade in steel.

The Act contains two additional timesensitive trade-related provisions thatwere dropped from the budget recon-ciliation bill. The Internal Revenue Codewas amended to eliminate the differen-tial in the Superfund tax applicable todomestic and imported crude oil. Thisdifferential was found inconsistent vithUnited States international trade obliga-tions by a GATT panel. The second provi-sion would continue duty-free treatmentfor certain levels of ethanol importsfrom the Caribbean Basin in order toprotect tile investments of ethanol pro-ducers who relied on earlier Con-gressional programs.

Conclusion: As part of the compro-mise reached on the budget reconcilia-tion bill, the Senate has agreed to consid-er, early in the Second Session, variouspieces of trade legislation including mis-cellaneous tariff bills, legislation to makeU.S. Customs User Fees consistent withthe GATT, and amendments to strength-en the Caribbean Basin Initiative. The

Congress will also ie busy with otheroutstanding legislation, such as tradereorganiizaiti i ropt sails and legislationthat would require the U.S. to imposereciprocal restrictions oin foreign invest-ment iii tile U.S. in response to othercountries' limitations Oil investment.

top of the sheer weight of numbers is thequestion Oif who0 actually Produces forthe ABA in terms of programus, books,resolutions and activities. Without theSections there would at least lie the basisfor a good argument that nienibership inthe ABA had coniparatively little to rec-otnmend it.

To confound matters further, there hasrecently been a move within the ABA toincrease tile percentage of menibers ofthe I louse of Delegates who are to Ibeelected by state and local bar associa-tions. The rationale has been that thisstep will involve such organizationsmore fully with the ABA and will createclose ties among, and consequently willstrengthen, such bar associations. Littleattention seems to lie paid to whether ornot state and local bar menibers are ABAmembers or not. This is one of the fewcases where a major national institutionmay well be giving greater voting weightto non-menbers than to menlbers.

The rise of the Sections within the ABAhas been i slow and painful process. Inthe early 1980'S, there was a medium-sized revolution within tile ABA resultirigin the Sections firally being given somerepresentation on the ABA Board of Gov-ernors. After considerable wrangling atthat time, the Sections and Divisions, col-lectively, were given the right to elect 9 ofthe 27 Board of Governors seats.

If the American Bar Association wantsto be true to tile best (and the mostnumerous) within it, the Sections willhave to lie accorded greater representa-tion in the 1 louse of Delegates. It seemsoverly dramatic to say that a storm isbrewirig on this issue, but it is an issuethat it is easy to get excited about. In afuture column I will offer some specificsuggestions about low the ABA can re-structure itself so as to give tile Sectionstile clout that their numbers, their ac-tivities and their vitality justify This is anissue that is not going to go away
