Death On The High Seas: The Demise Of Tovalop And Cristal, Susan Bloodworth Aug 2018

Death On The High Seas: The Demise Of Tovalop And Cristal, Susan Bloodworth

Florida State University Journal of Land Use and Environmental Law

In this Comment, the author provides an overview of TOVALOP and CRISTAL. The author also discusses other U.S. and international remedies for oil spill damages. An evaluation of the ramifications which are being realized because TOVALOP and CRISTAL are no longer enforced follows. This Comment concludes by suggesting that any future oil pollution compensation scheme must include TOVALOP and CRISTAL because these agreements provided the greatest likelihood of compensation to those damaged by maritime oil pollution.

International Pesticide Trade: Is There Any Hope For The Effective Regulation Of Controlled Substances?, Jefferson D. Reynolds

Water Disputes In The Middle East: An International Law Analysis Of The Israel-Jordan Peace Accord, Raed Mounir Fathallah Aug 2018

Water Disputes In The Middle East: An International Law Analysis Of The Israel-Jordan Peace Accord, Raed Mounir Fathallah

Florida State University Journal of Land Use and Environmental Law

This Article discusses the role of the Jordan River basin in the peace accord (Treaty) between the state of Israel and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. After reviewing past water disputes involving the Jordan River, the water allocation and management sections of the Treaty are compared with the Treaty's predecessor, the Main Plan. Even though it was never ratified, both Israel and Jordan tacitly conducted their respective water polices in accordance with the Main Plan. This discussion is followed by a comparison of the Treaty with the substantive and procedural requirements of the International Law Commission Draft Articles and other …


Revising International Law: A Liberal Account Of Natural Resources, Fernando R. Tesón Dec 2015

Revising International Law: A Liberal Account Of Natural Resources, Fernando R. Tesón

Scholarly Publications

In this Article, I defend the view that natural resources originally belong to individuals who have legitimately established private property claims over them. Natural resources do not belong to a collective entity such as the people or the state. My argument is simple. Relying on the Lockean contractarian tradition, I argue that individuals must delegate any resource controlled by the state. This is because all powers of the state are, morally, delegated powers.
