Indian Fishing Rights: A Lost Opportunity For Ecosystem Management, Martin H. Belsky Jan 1996

Indian Fishing Rights: A Lost Opportunity For Ecosystem Management, Martin H. Belsky

Akron Law Faculty Publications

Today, the depletion of salmon and steelhead fisheries in the Northwest United States is a concern not only to commercial fishers whose livelihoods depend on the resource but also to conservationists who fear the endangerment or extinction of the species. The implementation of a comprehensive approach to fisheries management could have reduced this threat of depletion. The federal courts had the opportunity to promote regulation and conservation of the fisheries in two cases, Sohappy v. Smith and United States v. Washington (Boldt), but failed to adopt an effective management model that would address the environmental concerns of the fisheries as …


The Law Of Sustainable Development, Nicholas A. Robinson Jan 1996

The Law Of Sustainable Development, Nicholas A. Robinson

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

I am going to talk briefly, as dictated by the format of this seminar, about the law of sustainable development and how it has been developing. Sustainable development is, today, the guiding theme for both public and private measures to improve social conditions and strengthen economic conditions around the world. It did not become a guiding theme overnight. The recognition that sustainable development is fundamental has been growing gradually. The concept recognizes that the sort of development that was popular in the 1960s and 1970s in the United States of America and elsewhere was, by itself, an inadequate base on …


Summary Of The United States Seminar On Our National Environmental Laws, John R. Nolon Jan 1996

Summary Of The United States Seminar On Our National Environmental Laws, John R. Nolon

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

My objective today is to summarize the discussion that took place at a seminar we held in the United States which described and evaluated our nation's environmental protection laws. The purpose of that seminar was to draw from that experience lessons that should help us, and perhaps Argentina, as we both consider how to improve the laws that affect natural resource use and conservation in our countries.

United States Pollution Control Laws, Jeffrey G. Miller Jan 1996

United States Pollution Control Laws, Jeffrey G. Miller

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

The environmental assessment process established by NEPA has been a success and was a step forward on the path of integrating environmental and economic policy. The national pollution abatement laws that were adopted in the decade after NEPA, however, operate in a very different fashion. They, too, have been very successful in a number of important respects, but have achieved less than we had hoped for because of certain flaws in their design. To analyze these laws for us, I would like to introduce another colleague, Professor Jeffery Miller, who has also travelled in Argentina. In fact, Professor Miller conducted …


Welcome (Symposium On Framework Laws--The Key To Sustainable Development In The Americas), Richard L. Ottinger Jan 1996

Welcome (Symposium On Framework Laws--The Key To Sustainable Development In The Americas), Richard L. Ottinger

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

This is a subject of deep interest to our law school. We have established one of the top environmental studies centers in the United States. In addition, we operate a nationally recognized energy law project, land use law center and international commercial law institute. Our interest is global and broad, focusing on the legal issues involved both in resource use and conservation and on applications at the local, national and international level. We take this broad approach for a simple reason: it is the approach that our graduates will have to take as they practice law in the global market …

Fusing Economic And Environmental Policy: The Need For Framework Laws In The United States And Argentina, John R. Nolon

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

In an effort to discover the best legal strategies to respond to these new challenges, seminars were conducted among experts in economic development and environmental protection in both the United States and Argentina. The observations and recommendations of these experts have been summarized and published and will be referenced as appropriate. This article attempts to synthesize what was learned in these two seminars, the research conducted in preparation for them, and the ongoing discussion among the participants. It begins with a summary of the forces in both countries that call for a change in the legal system, shows how these …


The National Land Use Policy Act, John R. Nolon Jan 1996

The National Land Use Policy Act, John R. Nolon

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

Professor Miller talked about a particular road that we traveled beginning in the 1970s. Professor Robinson discussed a different road that we traveled when we adopted the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) in 1969. I would like to talk about the road not traveled, a road that led in the direction that Professor Miller just charted. We considered a different more comprehensive approach in the early 1970s when our national environmental policies were being formed. The time may be right to reconsider what we then narrowly rejected, both here and in Argentina.
