Esg Implementation In Emerging & Frontier Markets: Lessons Cultivated From Sri Lanka And Beyond, Ahmed Qaisi
Esg Implementation In Emerging & Frontier Markets: Lessons Cultivated From Sri Lanka And Beyond, Ahmed Qaisi
University of Miami Business Law Review
Crippling debt accrued within emerging and frontier market nations forces developing governments to enact policies contrary to the well-being of their overall economies. The influence of credit rating agencies as well as organizations like the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (“IMF”) have handcuffed governments into implementing Environmental, Social, and Governance (“ESG”) policies that are unrealistic and unfeasible and have therefore caused detrimental societal impacts. This note examines how the application of ESG policies and governmental corruption resulted in Sri Lanka’s devastating economic collapse. Also scrutinized are those countries which have taken on debt but have managed well throughout …
Protecting Public Land From Trespass: Why The Six-Year Statute Of Limitations In 28 U.S.C. § 2415(B) Is Appropriate For All Trespass Cases On Federal Land, Zach Fader
Pace Environmental Law Review
The United States has the authority to bring claims for trespass on federal land under the statutes of the state in which the trespass occurs. Many states have statutes that codify and often alter the elements of common law trespass while also providing for double or treble damages. Thus, in cases of trespass on federal lands, the government is incentivized to bring claims under state trespass statutes. Doing so adds an alternate theory of liability and maximizes the opportunity to recover adequate damages. 28 U.S.C. § 2415(b), in part, sets a six-year statute of limitations for when the United States …
Indigenizing The Right To A Healthy Environment, Elisabeth Parker, Heather Tanana
Indigenizing The Right To A Healthy Environment, Elisabeth Parker, Heather Tanana
Pace Environmental Law Review
The most severe impacts resulting from environmental degradation are experienced by already-vulnerable populations, including Indigenous peoples. A growing number of countries are formally recognizing the basic human right to a healthy environment, which can help realize environmental and climate justice for these communities. On July 28, 2022, the United Nations General Assembly passed a landmark resolution formally recognizing the human right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment. The adoption of this resolution represents a pivotal moment in the understanding and implementation of a human rights-based approach to protecting the environment. However, it is important to recognize that historically, Indigenous …
Climate Change And Cross-Border Displacement: What The Courts, The Administration, And Congress Can Do To Improve Options For The United States, Kate Jastram
Case Western Reserve Journal of International Law
There is no doubt that the United States, even under existing law, could do much more to protect people displaced across international borders in the context of climate change and disasters. All branches of government have a role to play. Federal courts must thoughtfully assess litigants bringing asylum and CAT claims in the context of climate change and disasters. The administration must clarify interpretation of the refugee definition and use all available tools at its disposal to create new legal pathways as outlined in the White House Report. For its part, Congress must modernize the statutory basis for international protection …
Unleashing The Beast: Confronting Animal Trafficking As Organized Crime In The Americas, Erick J. Wilson
Unleashing The Beast: Confronting Animal Trafficking As Organized Crime In The Americas, Erick J. Wilson
University of Miami Inter-American Law Review
Wildlife trafficking is a serious yet often overlooked issue across the Americas. This Note examines wildlife trafficking across the Americas, analyzing the legal frameworks and challenges facing countries like the United States, Guatemala, Argentina, Peru, Mexico, and Brazil. Three key obstacles emerge: the lack of recognition of trafficking as organized crime, limited resources for enforcement, and deficient penalties. Though the United States has laws like the Lacey Act to address importation of illegally traded wildlife, weak foreign laws constrain efficacy. Many Latin American nations do not categorize wildlife trafficking as organized crime, despite its intricate parallels with activities like drug …
Climate Change, Corruption, And Colonialism: Solving The Conundrum With Regional Courts, Taylor Nchako
Climate Change, Corruption, And Colonialism: Solving The Conundrum With Regional Courts, Taylor Nchako
Northwestern University Law Review
It is no secret that climate change is the most pressing issue of our times. Global South countries, especially those in Africa, face challenges mitigating the worst impacts of climate change, adapting technological solutions, and continuing to develop their nation’s infrastructure and industry. Cameroon provides an archetypal example of the challenges many African countries face. Plagued by an economy that both exacerbates climate change and stands to collapse from it, Cameroon struggles with corruption that has roots in colonialism and neocolonialism. This corruption taints not only the forestry service and the executive branch, but the judiciary as well, leaving Cameroon’s …

Sargassum Systems: A Comparative Analysis Of Policy Responses To The New Caribbean Seaweed Crisis, Leo Jobsis Rossignol
Sargassum Systems: A Comparative Analysis Of Policy Responses To The New Caribbean Seaweed Crisis, Leo Jobsis Rossignol
William & Mary Environmental Law and Policy Review
In light of the emerging policy responses to the Caribbean Sargassum crisis, it is crucial that in-depth comparative studies be taken to understand the effectiveness of those policies and their common characteristics. With that resource, policymakers will be able to learn from their neighbors more quickly and reduce the damage done by future Sargassum events, as well as adopt more unified data standards.
The United States has been slow to respond, despite the increasing damage to its Caribbean dependencies, like the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. This Note will show that because this problem is international in scope, the …
Asuransi Lingkungan Berdasarkan Polluter Pay Principle Dan Command And Control Untuk Pemulihan Lingkungan Hidup Akibat Pencemaran Dan Kebakaran Hutan, Subagio Aridarmo
Asuransi Lingkungan Berdasarkan Polluter Pay Principle Dan Command And Control Untuk Pemulihan Lingkungan Hidup Akibat Pencemaran Dan Kebakaran Hutan, Subagio Aridarmo
"Dharmasisya” Jurnal Program Magister Hukum FHUI
Mining, plantation and industrial business actors are charged with the obligation to pay environmental insurance as a condition for being able to carry out activities or business. The application of environmental insurance is based on the Polluter Pay Principle and Command and Control in the framework of law enforcement in the environmental sector. Current laws and regulations do not guarantee safety and restoration of environmental pollution and/or damage, for example, many business actors do not pay compensation in court decisions in cases of forest and land fires. This makes efforts to repair and restore the environment from pollution and/or damage …

In its second part, this Note will consider mechanisms currently available in international trade to accommodate environmental progress, then will set forth various new measures the WTO could adopt to incentivize sustainable management of the Part I resources. Part III will …
Deciphering Lessons From The Ashes: Saving The Amazon, Shannon K. Woulfe
Deciphering Lessons From The Ashes: Saving The Amazon, Shannon K. Woulfe
Natural Resources Journal
For over forty years, Brazil, its subnational governments, Indigenous communities, other nations, non-governmental organizations, corporations, and individuals have worked to conserve the Amazon rainforest through a staggering number of diverse international initiatives. While some initiatives have supported Brazil in decreasing the rate of deforestation over the past fifteen years, the 2019 fires demonstrated that destruction continues. Left unchecked, this irreversible destruction promises to amplify. Fortunately, the long history of global involvement in Amazon conservation provides ample lessons for effective, place-based deforestation prevention. Thoughtful and coordinated international action can address the current lethal combination of destructive factors: Brazil’s environmentally hostile federal …
Risk Regulation And Management Against Illegal Wildlife Trade: Europe And America, Olonyi Bosire
Risk Regulation And Management Against Illegal Wildlife Trade: Europe And America, Olonyi Bosire
Sustainable Development Law & Policy
Introduction
The source or initial crime in the illegal wildlife trade chain is mostly committed beyond the shores of North America and Europe. However, the two regions continue to be massive destination markets and key transit hubs for illegal wildlife products. Illegal trade networks are shadowy and therefore problematic to study. This helps explain the wide valuation of illegal wildlife trade currently estimated by the Global Environment Facility (“GEF”) as ranging between 7 and 23 billion dollars per annum.
Policies and strategies to pre-empt or respond to illegal wildlife trade keep evolving as appreciation grows for the previously underestimated complexities, …
Brazil’S Violence Against Indigenous Peoples, Andre Taylor
Brazil’S Violence Against Indigenous Peoples, Andre Taylor
Human Rights Brief
Centuries of violence and displacement define the relationship between indigenous peoples and the successive governments of Brazil. As Brazil embarks on a massive expansion of its agribusiness and mining operations, the systemic denial of land rights and illegal economic activity on protected lands has threatened traditional ways of life practiced by indigenous peoples. The most aggressive policy taken by the Brazilian government has involved legitimizing land claims on unregistered ancestral indigenous lands for development, putting 37,800 square miles of territory at risk for exploitation by loggers, ranchers, and farmers.

Indonesian Journal of International Law
The province of East Kalimantan has the largers tropical forests in Indonesia. throughout the era of the New Order government under President Soeharto the natural resources especially tropical forests were sistematically exploited without any serious effort on the part of the government and private companies to take care of the social and environmental aspect of such exploitation. As a result, severe environmental degradation took place and the local people in the country side lost their sources of livelihood. In the midst of the presence of multinational corporations and private forest concessionaires ironically there were enclaves of poverty. In this area …

A Paper Tiger? Prosecutorial Regulators In China’S Civil Environmental Public Interest Litigations, Chunyan Ding, Huina Xiao
A Paper Tiger? Prosecutorial Regulators In China’S Civil Environmental Public Interest Litigations, Chunyan Ding, Huina Xiao
Fordham Environmental Law Review
In July 2015, China’s national legislature brought in prosecutor-led civil environmental public interest litigation (“EPIL”) for thirteen selected provincial areas of the country. After a two-year legal experiment, this prosecutor-led civil EPIL system was then established nationwide in July 2017. Yet, can it be said that prosecutorial regulators in China are in fact a paper tiger? Drawing upon content analysis of the 655 prosecutor-led civil EPILs and in-depth interviews with twelve frontline prosecutors and judges, this article examines the dynamics of regulatory practice and the motivation of the Chinese prosecutorial organs to engage in environmental regulation through litigation. Based upon …

The Amazon Ablaze: Are The Environmental Policies Of The Bolsanaro Administrative In Contravention Of Brazil’S Commitment To The Convention On Biological Diversity?, Jordan Johnson
Brooklyn Journal of International Law
In the Summer of 2019, the Amazonian Rainforest in Brazil experienced an unprecedented increase forest fires. This dramatic uptick in forest fires, according to environmental officials and scientists, is believed to have been caused by recent, rampant illegal deforestation of the Brazilian Amazonian Rainforest. Furthermore, some within the scientific community believe that the increased deforestation and ensuing forest fires are attributable to the anti-environmental protections and pro-development policies of Brazil's President, Jair Bolsonaro. Since taking office in January 2019, President Bolsonaro has publicly endorsed and encouraged deforestation of the Amazon as a means to spur economic development within Brazil. This …
A Behavioral Approach To Bilateral Cooperation On Criminal Laws: A Case Study On Indonesia’S Extradition And Mutual Legal Assistance Treaties, Harison Citrawan, Muhammad Fedian
A Behavioral Approach To Bilateral Cooperation On Criminal Laws: A Case Study On Indonesia’S Extradition And Mutual Legal Assistance Treaties, Harison Citrawan, Muhammad Fedian
Indonesia Law Review
The effectiveness of bilateral agreements in the context of criminal law enforcement remains highly contested. In the Indonesian context, such bilateral cooperation classifies two modalities of indirect law enforcement systems, namely, extradition and mutual legal assistance (MLA) in criminal matters. This article attempts to explain these modalities through a behavioral and rational approach by taking Indonesia’s MLA treaty with Switzerland and its extradition treaty with the Russian Federation as a case study. From this approach, we argue that the state’s decision to cooperate implies the adoption of control and consensus models. However, these two models were induced by political preferences …

Ktunaxa Nation V. British Columbia: A Historical And Critical Analysis Of Canadian Aboriginal Law, Jennifer Mendoza
Washington International Law Journal
Aboriginal law is a developing and emerging area of the law in Canada. In fact, Aboriginal rights were not constitutionally protected until the ratification of the Canadian Constitution in 1982. What followed was a series of precedent-setting cases that clarified what “rights” meant under Section 35 of the Constitution, how Aboriginal title and rights could be established, and what duty the federal government had to the First Nations when trying to infringe on those rights. In 2017, the Canadian Supreme Court heard Ktunaxa Nation v. British Columbia, which was the first case to interpret Aboriginal rights under Section 2(a) religious …
