The Impacts of the Proposed EU-Libya Trade Agreement
The paper provides an overview of the potential social, economic and environmental impacts of an EU-Libya FTA as gauged by the EU-Libya Sustainability Impact Assessment (SIA). The main potential benefits to both the EU and Libya from the proposed trade agreement come from closer cooperation in the energy sector rather than from the economy-wide effects of reducing trade barriers. The agreement may also have significant adverse effects that need to be taken into account.EU; EU-Libya FTA; Libya FTA; EU FTA; Libya; Libya trade agreement; EU-Libya trade agreement; Libya trade; SIA; Sustainability Impact Assessment; impact assessment; trade impact assessment; EU SIA; Trade; SIA; Prud'homme; Dan Prud'homme; Dan Prudhomme; Prudhomme; Prud'homme

Let Judges Judge: Advancing a Review Framework for Government Securities Settlements Where Defendants Neither Admit nor Deny Allegations Note
It has become increasingly common in the years following the 2008 financial crisis for the public to read news headlines of the latest hundred million dollar settlements reached between the United States federal government and major corporations wherein the defendants do not admit or deny the charges alleged. This Note analyzes why one agency in particular, the Securities and Exchange Commission, has come to rely almost exclusively on these types of settlements, and, through a close examination of a recent case on appeal in the Second Circuit (SEC v. Citigroup Global Markets Inc.), documents how the courts have struggled with allowing them to be finalized due to the absence of sufficient factual support. It concludes that further development of the existing standard for judicial review is needed, and proposes a framework that would increase transparency and accountability surrounding these types of government settlements

Investigating Hallucinations in Pruned Large Language Models for Abstractive Summarization
Despite the remarkable performance of generative large language models (LLMs)
on abstractive summarization, they face two significant challenges: their
considerable size and tendency to hallucinate. Hallucinations are concerning
because they erode reliability and raise safety issues. Pruning is a technique
that reduces model size by removing redundant weights, enabling more efficient
sparse inference. Pruned models yield downstream task performance comparable to
the original, making them ideal alternatives when operating on a limited
budget. However, the effect that pruning has upon hallucinations in abstractive
summarization with LLMs has yet to be explored. In this paper, we provide an
extensive empirical study across five summarization datasets, two
state-of-the-art pruning methods, and five instruction-tuned LLMs.
Surprisingly, we find that hallucinations from pruned LLMs are less prevalent
than the original models. Our analysis suggests that pruned models tend to
depend more on the source document for summary generation. This leads to a
higher lexical overlap between the generated summary and the source document,
which could be a reason for the reduction in hallucination risk
