Regulating Fishing In Australia: From Mullet Size Limits To International Hot Pursuits, Warwick Gullett
Faculty of Law - Papers (Archive)
Fisheries laws simply regulate human interactions with fish. Yet it is an enormous challenge to get them right. The central problem with which fishing laws need to deal is that technological advancements continually enable people (especially commercial fishers) to increase their ability to catch fish. This may be coupled with an increasing number of people fishing, or perhaps a relatively stable number of people fishing but changing their practice such as intensively fishing in one location. Human activities affecting fish are ever changing and, as a result, so too are fisheries laws. Past fishery collapses (such as cod stocks off …
International Police Missions As Reverse Capacity Building: Experiences Of Australian Police Personnel, Vandra Harris, Andrew Goldsmith
International Police Missions As Reverse Capacity Building: Experiences Of Australian Police Personnel, Vandra Harris, Andrew Goldsmith
Faculty of Law - Papers (Archive)
Since 2003 many hundreds of Australian police officers have served in police peace-keeping and capacitybuilding missions in Solomon Islands, Timor-Leste and Papua New Guinea. Working within bilateral or multilateral engagements, these police have encountered significant differences in legal and policing cultures as well as political and community environments. This paper considers how these experiences influence Australian police officers' thinking about policing in general, and how they view the legacy of their service. It explores the extent to which Australian police think they have had their own capabilities altered by the very processes through which they attempt to build the capacity …

When the international Plan of Action to Prevent, Deter, and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing (IPOA-IUU) was adopted in 2001, the term illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing or "IUU fishing" instantly gained the attention of States, regional organisations, non-government organisations, and academic institutions.

What The Boomerang Misses: Pursuing International Film Co-Production Treaties And Strategies, Brian Yecies
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
This paper illustrates some of the dynamic ways that members of the Korean, Australian, New Zealand and Chinese creative and cultural industries have engaged with international instruments such as co-production treaties. Strategies, benefits returned and lost costs, that is, sacrifices that are made in the process of producing a film or digital media program in more than one country, and/or with an international team are investigated to reveal how creators are engaging with the demands of different governments' policies. It is hoped that this paper and the larger research project to which it is attached will assist scholars, creative and …
The Philippine Treaty Limits And Territorial Water Claim In International Law, Lowell Bautista
The Philippine Treaty Limits And Territorial Water Claim In International Law, Lowell Bautista
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
The fundamental position of the Philippines regarding the extent of its territorial and maritime boundaries is based on two contentious premises: first, that the limits of its national territory are the boundaries laid down in the 1898 Treaty of Paris which ceded the Philippines from Spain to the UnitedStates; and second, that all the waters embraced within these imaginary lines are its territorial waters. The position of the Philippine Government is contested in the international community and runs against rules in the Law of the SeaConvention, which the Philippines signed and ratified. This situation poses two fundamental unresolved issues of …

Non-government organisations (NGOs) are regarded as ‘heavyweight’ actors in international fora.1 The term NGO refers to any organisation that is not a government or inter-governmental organisation. In fisheries governance in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean, the increasing involvement of NGOs is a consequence of post United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED)2 developments and globalisation processes. The 1992 UNCED, also referred to as the Earth Summit, provided the platform for greater participation of civil society in the pursuit of sustainable development and key fisheries principles were elaborated. Other international meetings such as the World Summit on Sustainable Development …
