description Investigates the concept of "illegitimate debt" in relation to odious versus legal debts to consider international debt arbitration based on Chapter 9 in the US bankruptcy code. A review of the international view of debt since the 1970s identifies the need for a clear definition of the term "illegitimate" as exemplified in the Norwegian 2006 cancellation of debt. Odious debts, creditor duties, legitimacy, & the obligation to pay are factors that distinguish legal from legitimate debts. It is concluded that the application of the author's sovereign insolvency model would advantage creditors & debtors in the abolishment of the unjustified de facto privileges of official creditors that make the crisis worse.
