Should Or Must? Nature Of The Obligation Of States To Use Trade Instruments For The Advancement Of Environmental, Labor, And Other Human Rights, Stephen Powell
Should Or Must? Nature Of The Obligation Of States To Use Trade Instruments For The Advancement Of Environmental, Labor, And Other Human Rights, Stephen Powell
Stephen Joseph Powell
States have been careful to couch their human rights commitments in terms that avoid binding and measurable actions to ensure the human rights either of their own citizens or those in other countries. Despite the promise of a dozen U.N. treaties, states continue to equivocate as to measures necessary to meet critical individual needs. This essay argues that, nonetheless, the question whether economically powerful states may be held to human rights observance is not solely moral in nature. Instead, through a combination of treaties, custom, and historical facts, the human rights obligation of developed states has taken on penumbral legal …

The 2006-2010 Strategic Plan for Eastern Kentucky University, under Strategic Direction 5.4, mandates the formulation of a plan to guide the University toward greater environmental stewardship. The creation and implementation of that plan is the charge of the Eastern Committee on Responsible Environmental Stewardship (ECRES), which was formed in September of 2005. On October 27th, 2006, ECRES hosted a Strategic Planning Workshop. This workshop brought together a wide range of paticipants, including elected officials, college and university representatives, and interested citizens. The result was a broad consenus in the identification of environmental goals and objectives toward which EKU should strive.

Tribal, State, And Federal Cooperation To Achieve Good Governance, Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Tribal, State, And Federal Cooperation To Achieve Good Governance, Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Jurisdictional uncertainty affects tribal sovereignty and public safety. Management of natural resources remains one of the few realms of authority over which tribes have retained control. Ancient wild rice harvesting by the Chippewa provides a context in which to consider a tribes ability to set water standards, as does Pueblo ceremonial use of the Rio Grande River. Cooperative tribal, state, federal, and international responses to the Methamphetamine crisis can address both environmental and human health. This study examines the prospect for integrated protection of health and habitat based upon comity and cooperation. It examines the parameters of homeland security and …

Multilateral Climate Change Mitigation, Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
A long-term framework to address climate change is within political reach. This article examines how greenhouse gas mitigation can occur across economic and political fault lines. Climate is a public good requiring the development of an energy strategy based upon international cooperation, energy efficiency, and sustainable technological development.
The Controversy Over The Legacy Highway In Utah: An Opportunity For Invitational Rhetoric, Carlo A. Pedrioli
The Controversy Over The Legacy Highway In Utah: An Opportunity For Invitational Rhetoric, Carlo A. Pedrioli
Carlo A. Pedrioli
Beginning in the mid 1990s, residents of Utah began to debate the merits of the “Legacy Highway,” a large highway that would run near the Great Salt Lake in an attempt to alleviate the clogged commute on Interstate-15, which runs north/south through Salt Lake City, the state’s capital. Perhaps not surprisingly, environmental groups were upset with this proposed governmental project. Groups like the Advocates for Safe and Efficient Transportation and the Utah Department of Transportation faced off against the Sierra Club, Stop the Legacy Highway, and Utahns for Better Transportation. Generous amounts of rhetoric, including public discussion and litigation, resulted …
Rethinking The Procreative Right, Carter Dillard
Rethinking The Procreative Right, Carter Dillard
Carter Dillard
Few principles are as universally accepted in legal scholarship today, but based on such scant support, as the fundamental nature and broad scope of the right to procreate. What is perceived as a vague but nonetheless justified legal and moral interest to procreate freely without regard to others is, upon closer examination, based on little more than misconstrued or inapposite case precedent and blurry statements in non-binding sources of international law. By relying on this authority, conflating procreation with conceptually distinguishable behaviors, presuming its intrinsic value, and ignoring competing rights and duties, lawyers have largely overlooked procreation and its legal …

The Politics Of Risk: Pre-Litigation Site Assessment In Houston, Texas, Gregg Macey
The Politics Of Risk: Pre-Litigation Site Assessment In Houston, Texas, Gregg Macey
Gregg P. Macey
This Article provides a case study of agency decision-making under uncertainty, specifically the administrative process used by a state agency to investigate potential site contamination. Analysis of the Railroad Commission of Texas' use of site and risk assessment in a neighborhood built over crude oil storage tanks known as Kennedy Heights demonstrates how purportedly scientific processes can fail to embody the kinds of rational analytical approaches on which regulatory agencies publicly claim they depend. Primary documents outlining the efforts of the state agency, in coordination with a regulated party, suggest that these processes were shaped in different ways, used divergent …
In The Heat Of The Law, It's Not Just Steam: Geothermal Resources And The Impact On Thermophile Biodiversity, Donald J. Kochan, Tiffany Grant
In The Heat Of The Law, It's Not Just Steam: Geothermal Resources And The Impact On Thermophile Biodiversity, Donald J. Kochan, Tiffany Grant
Donald J. Kochan
Significant research has been conducted into the utilization of geothermal resources as a ‘green’ energy source. However, minimal research has been conducted into geothermal resource utilization and depletion impacts on thermophile biodiversity. Thermophiles are organisms which have adapted over millions of year to extreme temperature and chemical compositions and exist in hot springs and other geothermal resources. Their ability to withstand high temperatures makes them invaluable to scientific and medical research. Current federal and California case law classify geothermal resources as a mineral, not a water resource. Acquisition of rights to develop a geothermal resource owned or reserved by the …
