Ocean Energy And The Law Of The Sea: The Need For A Protocol, Ben Tsamenyi, Max Herriman Mar 2013

Ocean Energy And The Law Of The Sea: The Need For A Protocol, Ben Tsamenyi, Max Herriman

Professor Ben M Tsamenyi

Although fossil fuels are the overwhelming source of energy for the world, and will continue to be so for the foreseeable future, demographic, environmental, political, and economic factors indicate that interest in alternative, renewable sources of energy will grow. There is a need for both global and national policies on ocean energy management. In particular, coastal slates and the energy industry would benefit from guidelines that helped to create a predictable, stable environment in which long-term, high-cost research, development, and investment decisions could be made with confidence. Coastal states have jurisdiction over the maritime zones most relevant to energy production, …


The 1997 Australia-Indonesia Maritime Boundary Treaty: A Secure Legal Regime For Offshore Resource Development?, Max Herriman, Ben Tsamenyi Mar 2013

The 1997 Australia-Indonesia Maritime Boundary Treaty: A Secure Legal Regime For Offshore Resource Development?, Max Herriman, Ben Tsamenyi

Professor Ben M Tsamenyi

The Treaty between the Government of Australia and the Government of the Republic of Indonesia Establishing an Exclusive Economic Zone Boundary and Certain Seabed Boundaries was signed in Perth, Australia, on March 14, 1997. The Treaty establishes an area of overlapping jurisdiction in the Timor Sea in which the exclusive economic zone of Indonesia overlays the continental shelf of Australia. Although the 1992 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea does not provide well for such a situation, and many other provisions of the Law of the Sea Convention relate to the coastal state in a manner which …

Closing The Gaps: Building Capacity In Pacific Fisheries Governance And Institutions, Quentin Hanich, Feleti Teo, Ben Tsamenyi Mar 2013

Closing The Gaps: Building Capacity In Pacific Fisheries Governance And Institutions, Quentin Hanich, Feleti Teo, Ben Tsamenyi

Professor Ben M Tsamenyi

Governance and institutions must function effectively if sustainable development and growth are to occur within the Pacific Islands region. In 2007, the FFA and the Australian Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF), supported by funding from AusAID, contracted Quentin Hanich, Feleti Teo and Professor Martin Tsamenyi to research governance and institutional gaps within the region that undermine the effective management and development of the region's fish stocks. Following an intensive round of interviews throughout the Pacific islands region by all three consultants, Mr Hanich authored a comprehensive report that discussed relevant governance and institutional gaps and recommended a number …


Impending Ec Regulation On Iuu Fishing Looms Large Over Industry, Jo-Anne Mccrea, Quentin Hanich, Ben Tsamenyi Mar 2013

Impending Ec Regulation On Iuu Fishing Looms Large Over Industry, Jo-Anne Mccrea, Quentin Hanich, Ben Tsamenyi

Professor Ben M Tsamenyi

It is suggested that a new regulation scheduled to be implemented by the European Union at the beginning of 2010 in an effort to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing is likely to have a profound impact on fishing and processing operations worldwide. The IUU Regulation regulates seafood imports to all EU member states and imposes specific requirements on any fishing or processing activity that intends to export into an EU member state. The broad application of the regulation, the power of member states in the implementation of the regulation, and the consequences of non-compliance, are discussed.

Papua New Guinea's Accession To The 1951 Convention And The 1967 Protocol Relating To The Status Of Refugees, Ben Tsamenyi Mar 2013

Papua New Guinea's Accession To The 1951 Convention And The 1967 Protocol Relating To The Status Of Refugees, Ben Tsamenyi

Professor Ben M Tsamenyi

Papua New Guinea (PNG) acceded to the 1951 Convention and the 1967 Protocol in 1986, after having initially declined to accept those instruments, which had been extended by the administering power, Australia. This article analyses the background to PNG's accession, and the reasons for its reservations to various provisions. PNG has, for some years, received refugees from West Irian, where the authority of the Indonesian Government continues to be challenged by the OPM (the Free Papua Movement). Before 1984, refugee arrivals were sporadic and involved relatively small groups of people; between February and June 1984, however, over ten thousand West …

The Exercise Of Coastal State Jurisdiction Over Eez Fisheries Resources: The South Pacific Practice, Ben Tsamenyi Mar 2013

The Exercise Of Coastal State Jurisdiction Over Eez Fisheries Resources: The South Pacific Practice, Ben Tsamenyi

Professor Ben M Tsamenyi

One of the new concepts that emerged from the Third Law of the Sea Conference is that of the exclusive economic zone. Coastal states, particularly developing countries, have, by extending their fisheries jurisdiction to 200 nautical miles, acquired considerable problems of enforcement because of physical and economic costs involved. To minimize these, developing countries in the South Pacific are cooperating through the South Pacific Forum Fisheries Agency Convention, inter alia, to devise new strategies of enforcement. A most useful device adopted has been compilation of a Regional Register of Fishing Vessels in "good standing'. -Author

Expands on the traditional economic model of fishery management to include the protection of non-use values. Assesses international agreements made to include the protection of non-use values of the marine environment, and examines the conflict between GATT rules and unilateral attempts to protect existence values.
