Protecting Environmental Hot Spots During And After Armed Conflict Through Multilateral Environmental Agreements, Britta Sjöstedt Jun 2014

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 Dec 2013

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

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 Dec 2013

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 Dec 2013

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 …

Does Undrip Matter?: Indian Law In The United States And The International Right To Self-Determination, Kevin Crow Dec 2013

Does Undrip Matter?: Indian Law In The United States And The International Right To Self-Determination, Kevin Crow

Kevin Crow

The United States has recognised the sovereignty of Indigenous tribal nations within the United States since the early 1800s and has explicitly recognised a right to self-determination for Indigenous peoples of the United States since the 1970s.The exact nature of this right, however, has been the focus of much scholarly debate both in the United States and around the world. Erosions in the nature of U.S. tribal sovereignty since the early 1980s coupled with an accelerating development of the international principle of self-determination call the extent and nature of Indian self-determination into question. Accordingly, this paper seeks to explore three …
