Bulletin 4446 - Ord Land And Water Management Plan 2000, Agriculture Western Australia, Community Of Kununurra

Bulletins 4000 -

The wise use of the land and water of the Ord has become an imperative driven by increasing awareness of the impacts of current uses on ground water and the on the quality of the Ord River itself.

We have been lucky as a community that these resources are still in reasonable order and that we have the time to address the resource management challenges associated with our use of them. There is a wide range of land and water management issues to be addressed and all those involved have responsibilities to address some of those issues.

Judicial Lobbying At The Wto: The Debate Over The Use Of Amicus Curiae Briefs And The U.S. Experience, Padideh Ala'i

Fordham International Law Journal

This Essay first reviews the controversy surrounding the issuance of procedures for amicus curiae submissions by the Appellate Body in E.C.—Asbestos. Second, it looks at the history and practice of amicus curiae briefs at the WTO. Third, the Essay looks at how in the United States an amicus curiae has changed from being a “friend of the court” to a “judicial lobbyist,” and specifically, focusing on the procedural approach taken by the U.S. Supreme Court in addressing the negative impact of such judicial lobbying. Finally, the Essay draws certain lessons from the U.S. experience and concludes that the Appellate Body …

Marxist Origins Of The "Anti-Third World" Claim, Raj Bhala

Fordham International Law Journal

This Essay is an experiment — a try-out — of an argument. The argument concerns what I regard to be the most serious of the claims made by the critics, namely, the claims concerning the relationship between the WTO and international trade law, on the one hand, and the Third World, on the other hand. The claim is this: the WTO is anti-development, and international trade law helps tilt the playing field on which the great game of trade is played against developing countries. It is the "most serious" of the claims, I think, because the giant and still growing …

Protection Of Public Health And The Role Of The Precautionary Principle Under Wto Law: A Trojan Horse Before Geneva's Walls?, Dr. Hans-Joachim Priess, Dr. Christian Pitschas

Fordham International Law Journal

This article discusses the different understandings of the meaning of the precautionary principle as a means to cope with public health risks. The article reviews the position of the Treaty Establishing the European Community (“EC”) on this principle to assess whether, and to what extent, the EC’s position conforms to the limits imposed by World Trade Organization (“WTO”) law. I will examine whether the precautionary principle, as interpreted by the EC, is reconcilable with the WTO agreements and forms part of WTO law. As it stands now, other WTO members are well advised to take a cautious stance on the …

International Trade As A Vector In Domestic Regulatory Reform: Discrimination, Cost-Benefit Analysis, And Negotiations, Joel P. Trachtman

Fordham International Law Journal

This brief Essay summarizes, updates, and integrates work I have done elsewhere in order to suggest, first, why cost-benefit analysis is not used in dispute settlement, second, how to evaluate substitute formulae that are available for use within dispute settlement, and finally, how dispute settlement and treaty-making relate to one another in this field. This Essay considers the role of international discipline by dispute resolution bodies, in comparison to multilateral treaty-making or other legislation. Treaty-making or other legislation may take the form of harmonization to one degree or another, or importantly, may take the form of agreed rules of prescriptive …

Homage To A Bull Moose: Applying Lessons Of History To Meet The Challenges Of Globalization, Theodore R. Posner, Timothy M. Reif

Fordham International Law Journal

It would appear that some critics' cure for the World Trade Organization (“WTO”) is to build it up, while for others, the cure is to tear it down, or at least to diminish its competence. This seeming contradiction makes it difficult to assess and respond to legitimate criticisms of the WTO. The purpose of this Essay is to address this apparent conundrum. In particular, we attempt to shed light on it by (1) describing the nature of the imbalance that exists in the world trading system today (Part I); (2) offering an historical and legal framework for understanding the seemingly …

How Is Convergence Best Achieved In International Project Finance?, Catherine Pédamon

Fordham International Law Journal

This Essay will first review and then analyze the characteristics of each of three possible routes of convergence in light of three features. The first is stability and predictability of the legal environment. It is the main benefit that private investors look for before investing in a country. The second is the scope of influence and lobbying of interest groups. This feature is extracted from an analysis of the adoption of uniform laws proposed by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws ("NCCUSL") by Professors Ribstein and Kobayashi. These authors find evidence of enactment by states of NCCUSL's …

More Than Money, Justice Catherine Branson

Fordham International Law Journal

In this Paper, I refer to probably the most disadvantaged sector of the Australian community, its indigenous peoples. I have chosen this group, because Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have become a significant body of litigants in my Court since the Federal Court of Australia was given jurisdiction to make determinations of native land title. I will start by providing some limited information concerning indigenous Australians. This information, by necessity, glosses over the diverse experiences and lifestyles of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and indeed, the diversity of non-indigenous Australian experiences and lifestyles. Nonetheless, it reflects the …

The Delivery Of Civil Legal Aid Services In South Africa, David J. Mcquoid-Mason

Fordham International Law Journal

This paper is intended to deal with the different methods of delivering civil legal aid services in South Africa. Before doing so, however, brief mention will be made of the structure of the legal profession and the impact of the new South African Constitution (or "Constitution"), as both have influenced the development of legal aid services in the country. Mention in passing will also be made to special procedures and courts that can be used to access justice in civil matters.
