The United Nations Decade Of International Law - Insights Into An Asian Perspective Of International Law, Jeremy A. Thomas

Dalhousie Law Journal

On 15th November 1990 the Sixth Committee of the General Assembly completed its deliberations on the Report of the Working Group on the United Nations Decade of International Law (the "Vukas Report"). The Vukas Report sets out the proposed programme of activities of the Decade during the period 1990-92, and represents another important step towards the implementation of resolution 44/23 of 17th November 19891 and the fulfilment of the aspirations of strengthening the international legal order connected with that resolution. On the 19th November 1990 the Vukas Report was formally adopted by the Sixth Committee without a vote. The Decade …

Aboriginal Sovereignty And Imperial Claims, Brian Slattery Oct 1991

Aboriginal Sovereignty And Imperial Claims, Brian Slattery

Osgoode Hall Law Journal

It is commonly assumed that Indigenous American nations had neither sovereignty in international law nor title to their territories when Europeans first arrived; North America was legally vacant and European powers could gain title to it simply by discovery, symbolic acts, occupation, or treaties among themselves. It follows, on this view, that current Indigenous claims to internal sovereignty or a "third order of government" have no historical basis. This paper argues that this viewpoint is misguided and cannot be justified either by reference to positive international law or basic principles of justice. The author's view is that Indigenous American nations …

Valuation And International Regulation Of Forest Ecosystems: Propects For A Global Forest Agreement, Michael B. Saunders Jul 1991

Valuation And International Regulation Of Forest Ecosystems: Propects For A Global Forest Agreement, Michael B. Saunders

Washington Law Review

Deforestation poses severe environmental problems for temperate and tropical regions world-wide. An international forest agreement is necessary to protect these forests. Previous international environmental agreements provide, at best, limited protection for endangered natural resources. To conserve the world's forests, an effective forest agreement must recognize the economic value of forest ecosystems. This forest agreement should define a twofold rule of responsibility: that states have a duty to protect forests located within their borders, and that other states that benefit from forests have a legal obligation to share in conservation costs.

A Changing Europe, Joe M. Rodgers, Ambassador

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

Those of you who have been here all day have heard some people that really understand what is going on in Eastern Europe, people from those countries, and experts in those subjects. I am going to take a little different approach. I am going to talk about Europe, and why I think it is at the real leading edge of global change today as we know our economic and political systems. There are four things happening in Europe today, any one of which would have an impact, or will have an impact, on the future as you young people know …

Legal Aspects Of Foreign Investments And Financing Of Energy Products In Nigeria, Niki Tobi May 1991

Legal Aspects Of Foreign Investments And Financing Of Energy Products In Nigeria, Niki Tobi

Dalhousie Law Journal

Nigeria is a Federation consisting of twenty-one States, and a Federal Capital Territory. It is the largest African Country with probably the largest concentration of foreign investment potentialities with a viable and adequate financing. In the true tenet of Federalism, the 1979 Constitution provided for a distinction in the legislative powers between the central Government and the State Governments. The Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1989 has also maintained this federal arrangement. Although that is the constitutional position, the Military Government has, as a matter of policy, built into the system some element of unitarism in a federal …

The Selection Of Choice Of Law Provisions In International Commercial Arbitration: A Case For Contractual Depeҫage, Craig M. Gertz Jan 1991

The Selection Of Choice Of Law Provisions In International Commercial Arbitration: A Case For Contractual Depeҫage, Craig M. Gertz

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

One additional advantage of arbitration, the parties' ability to predetermine the law governing the resolution of the dispute, has gained growing recognition in recent years. This recognition, however, has been myopic to some extent. Some commentators see choice of law options confined either to the selection of one national legal system from several possibilities or to the selection of a single national, international, or anational legal system. Such a self-imposed limitation of the applicable law to one system of law often denies parties many of the benefits and powers allowed them in international commercial arbitration. As an alternative, an agreement …
