"Speaking at a virtual Q&A at the New York City Bar's Compliance Institute, Peirce described a compliance-focused committee akin to the SEC's existing advisory committees, which cover the areas of investment and small businesses. Those committees have been useful for the SEC to understand different perspectives and receive recommendations, she said, and compliance personnel can provide similar feedback on rules that affect them." https://lnkd.in/eMDPggKX

“The New York City Bar Association welcomes the court order releasing journalist José Rubén Zamora to house arrest,” said New York City Bar Association President Muhammad Faridi. “The City Bar has repeatedly spoken out against attacks on press freedom and judicial independence in Guatemala. It is a fundamental principle of international law that journalists, lawyers, and judges must be able to carry out their work without fear of reprisal, and this decision represents an important recognition of those protections.” “We are relieved that, after more than 800 days of arbitrary detention, our client José Rubén Zamora has been released from inhumane prison conditions and can return home,” said Vance Center Associate Executive Director Jaime Chávez Alor. “However, his case is not over. He still faces unjust criminal charges and the risk of returning to prison. The Vance Center’s legal team will continue to support Zamora’s case before international bodies and call for the dismissal of charges and his unconditional release.”
