Demanding Individual Rights And Civil Liberties: An Iranian Approach, Zahra Takhshid

Zahra Takhshid

Iran has a long history of social movements and revolutions. The 1906 Constitutional Revolution led to the recognition of individual rights as part of Iran’s first Constitution. With the Islamic Revolution of 1979, a new constitution was enacted, which devoted one chapter to “the Rights of the Nation.”

The Constitution has introduced several methods to protect the recognized rights: the Guardian Council, the Tribunal of Administrative Justice, and the Commission of Article 90.

In addition to the institutions introduced in the Constitution, the Legislature and the Executive branch proposed new safeguarding procedures and adopted new statutes, which recognized broader range …

Protecting Environmental Hot Spots During And After Armed Conflict Through Multilateral Environmental Agreements, Britta Sjöstedt

Britta Sjöstedt

In this paper I argue that areas of international environmental importance could be protected during and after armed conflict by utilizing the mechanisms established under Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs), in particular the World Heritage Convention (WHC) and potentially also of the Convention on Wetlands of International Importance (Ramsar Convention). Most armed conflicts taking place today cause substantial environmental damage as a direct or indirect effect of the warfare. Also, indirect consequences of armed conflicts such as unsustainable exploitation of natural resources, massive flux of displaced persons, collapse of governmental control and infrastructure put additional pressure on sensitive ecosystems. The framework …

Sustainability Criteria As A Tool To Promote Sustainable Products And Their Sustainable Production, Evgenia Pavlovskaia

Coming publication

Summary:

Among the environmental challenges, which humanity is facing today, there are the threat of global climate change, unsatisfactory air quality, – especially in large cities, – and the fact that the resources of fossil fuels are finite. Biofuels have long been at the top of the political and scientific agenda as a possible solution to all the three challenges.

Not everything is clear about biofuels. The production costs of biofuels are still higher than those of traditional fossil fuels: without subsidies biofuels are not competitive. The environmental impact of biofuels has also been questioned, for example the …

Looking To The Practices Of Transnational Corporations To Protect The Global Environment: A New Theory Of Custom In International Environmental Law, Matthew Thurmer

Matthew A Thurmer Mr.

To a large extent, international environmental law has been unsuccessful. As a result, new and creative thinking is needed to protect the global environment. This paper, in particular, considers an approach to customary international law that is based on the practices of transnational corporations (TNCs) rather than the practices of states. Of course, many TNCs are harming the Earth. Thus, the state must regulate these multinational companies to establish practices that are environmentally sound. If enough states pass and enforce such laws, then at some point a rule of custom will arise that can protect the global environment.

The Life And Times Of Targeted Killing, Markus Gunneflo

Markus Gunneflo

Against the background of the ongoing shift in the perception of the legality and legitimacy of extraterritorial lethal force in counterterrorism, my doctoral thesis analyses the emergence of so-called “targeted killing” in the history of Israel and the US, as well as in international law. It finds that the relationship between targeted killing and law, particularly international law, is not a straightforward case of more or less determinate and legally binding norms being applied to state measures adopted in situations of insecurity (in this case, those of the second Intifada and 9/11) but rather one of a much longer and …

Introducing The ‘Reconciliatory Approach’ – Harmonizing International Environmental Law With Other Specialised Areas Of International Law, Britta Sjöstedt

Britta Sjöstedt

In this paper, I argue that international environmental treaties can interact with other specialised areas of law applicable to the same subject matter in the same context by using the ‘reconciliatory approach’ (RA). This approach entails that the institutions established under the environmental treaties are empowered to develop the treaty provisions in a manner that may also take other legal areas into account and thereby be able to reconcile obligations of other specialised legal areas. The RA functions on the premise that international law is one system with the inherent ambition to coherently systematize its norms. By looking at the …
