Facilitating Prior Informed Consent Context Of Genetic Resources And Traditional Knowledge, Anne Perrault Jan 2004

Facilitating Prior Informed Consent Context Of Genetic Resources And Traditional Knowledge, Anne Perrault

Sustainable Development Law & Policy

This paper traces the evolution of free prior informed consent (“FPIC”) and describes the importance of FPIC to achieving the objectives of the Convention on Biological Diversity (“CBD”). It briefly highlights elements of current approaches to obtaining FPIC from national governments and local communities, identifies limitations to obtaining FPIC, and provides examples of how the Bonn Guidelines do and do not respond to these limitations. The paper does not provide a detailed analysis of all issues related to implementation of FPIC, but rather highlights issues that will, hopefully, promote constructive discussions to advance progress on the implementation of FPIC.

Plant Tissue Extraction Method For Complexed And Free Cyanide, Joseph T. Bushey, Stephen D. Ebbs, David A. Dzombak Jan 2004

Plant Tissue Extraction Method For Complexed And Free Cyanide, Joseph T. Bushey, Stephen D. Ebbs, David A. Dzombak

Publications

A method for free cyanide and strongly-complexed cyanide measurement within plant tissue was developed to study uptake and movement of cyanide species separately from cyanide metabolism and metabolite movement by a willow plant (Salix eriocephala var. Michaux). Spike recoveries from solutions with and without plant tissue, using various solvent combinations, and background control tissue contributions were investigated to obtain an accurate and precise extraction method for measurement of complexed and free cyanide concentrations within plant tissue. The optimum extraction technique involved the freezing of plant tissue with liquid nitrogen to facilitate homogenization prior to extraction. Homogenized willow tissue samples, 1 …

Comparative Legal Responses To Terrorism: Lessons From Europe, Jeremie J. Wattellier Jan 2004

Comparative Legal Responses To Terrorism: Lessons From Europe, Jeremie J. Wattellier

UC Law SF International Law Review

After September 11, 2001, the U.S. Congress and President initiated legal changes to combat terrorism. In the late 20th century, Europe also experienced terrorist attacks on its soil and initiated legal adaptations. Europe's legal history with terrorism shows that harsh procedure-stripping rules do not stop terrorism and come at great costs in civil liberties and legal clout. More procedural safeguards would bring the U.S. legal response back in line with its traditional legal values while still providing a way to fight terrorism. This note investigates the European legal response to its terrorist attacks-measuring successes and gauging costs where possible-and evaluates …

Trade Treaty Threats And Sub-National Sovereignty: Multilateral Trade Treaties And Their Negligible Impact On State Laws, David I. Spector Jan 2004

Trade Treaty Threats And Sub-National Sovereignty: Multilateral Trade Treaties And Their Negligible Impact On State Laws, David I. Spector

UC Law SF International Law Review

Advocates of free trade extol the virtues of trade without borders, while opponents decry its abysmal consequences. While debates about the benefits and detriments of free trade seem never-ending, there has been comparatively little discussion of the actual impact of international trade obligations on sub-national components of federal governments. Although the relationship between America's trade treaties and the policies of state governments has become a more visible issue in international trade, relatively little is known about how these international trade obligations really shape state law-making among the fifty U.S. states. This Note examines how international trade treaties have actually impacted …

Dawn Raids Here At Home - The Danger Of Vanishing Privacy Expectations For Corporate Employees, Sarah Plotkin Paul Jan 2004

Dawn Raids Here At Home - The Danger Of Vanishing Privacy Expectations For Corporate Employees, Sarah Plotkin Paul

St. Thomas Law Review

This article posits that, due to the limited and diminishing privacy protections for corporate employees, Fourth Amendment jurisprudence is closer to permitting dawn raids in the workplace than popular opinion might suggest. First, the employee "standing" requirement to challenge an illegal search means employees must have a privacy interest in the particular workspace searched. In certain instances, then, individual employees have no way of protesting the use of illegally obtained corporate documents against them, including documents they have authored. Second, there may be few protections available to employees insofar as modem, widely-used workplace technologies are concerned, such as company computers …

The Ethnic Greeks Of Turkey: The Present Situation Of The Greek Minority And Turkey's Human Rights Obligations Under International, Steven S. Skenderis Jan 2004

The Ethnic Greeks Of Turkey: The Present Situation Of The Greek Minority And Turkey's Human Rights Obligations Under International, Steven S. Skenderis

St. Thomas Law Review

In 1923, the Treaty of Lausanne ended the Greek-Turkish war of 1919-1922 and established two distinct minorities in both Greece and Turkey after a convention signed at the same time provided for the compulsory exchanges of populations; about a million and a half Greeks left Turkey for Greece, and about a half-million Turks left Greece for Turkey.' The Convention established that the Greeks of Istanbul, the Aegean islands of Imvros and Tenedos, and the Eastern Orthodox Christian Patriarchate would be allowed to remain in Turkey, while (to ensure a numerical balance) the Turks of Western Thrace were allowed to remain …

Corporate Social Responsibility, Unmasked, Terry Collingsworth

St. Thomas Law Review

The scope and future of the Alien Tort Claims Act ("ATCA") may well be decided this term by the Supreme Court in Alvarez-Machain v. United States. However that case is decided, the review process has exposed an extremely critical issue that has great significance to the future of the global economy. The major international business organizations in the United States, including the National Foreign Trade Council ("NFTC"), the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the U.S. Council for International Business and the U.S. Business Roundtable, collectively filed an amicus curiae brief in Alvarez-Machain ("NFTC Brief") that explicitly states what those of us …

[Review Of] John Carter, Ethnicity, Exclusion And The Workplace, Bridget A. Teboh Jan 2004

[Review Of] John Carter, Ethnicity, Exclusion And The Workplace, Bridget A. Teboh

Ethnic Studies Review

This important volume attempts to evaluate and measure the impact of equal opportunities in the National Health Service and in part, on higher education (4) (i.e. the progress of ethnic minorities through their respective career hierarchies). The major dynamics at work are the desire on the part of excluded social groups to try to gain access into other occupational areas and the success of dominant social groups in closing a particular niche. Those of us who are interested in or confronted by ethnicity in our professional spheres should read this book.

How And Why Lslamophobia Is Tied To English Nationalism But Not To Scottish Nationalism, Asifa M. Hussain, William L. Miller Jan 2004

How And Why Lslamophobia Is Tied To English Nationalism But Not To Scottish Nationalism, Asifa M. Hussain, William L. Miller

Ethnic Studies Review

Muslim minorities throughout Europe are under threat of collateral damage from the Blair/Bush 'War on Terror.' In Scotland they also have to cope with the added possibility that Scottish nationalism might develop an 'ethnic' as well as a 'civic' dimension. But is Scottish nationalism part of the problem or part of the solution? Paradoxically, Muslims are under less pressure in Scotland than in England, despite Scotland's move over recent decades--psychologically as well as institutionally--towards nationalism.

Normalcy After 9/11: Public Service As The Crisis Fades, Russell Engler Jan 2004

Normalcy After 9/11: Public Service As The Crisis Fades, Russell Engler

Fordham Urban Law Journal

The legal community's response to 9/11 was fast, thoughtful, comprehensive, creative, and collaborative. The success of the legal community's efforts must be measured not only by analysis of the response to the 9/11 crisis itself, but also by consideration of whether the lessons learned paved the way for an improved response for the legal community to the legal crises facing families every day. The Report on the New York City Bar's response to 9/11 outlined unmet legal needs, many of which still remain unmet. There is also a risk that those responding to the crisis were diverted from attending to …
