Overview On The Lebanese Environmental Governance System: Main Hazards In The Oil And Gaz Sector, Rami Harkous
Overview On The Lebanese Environmental Governance System: Main Hazards In The Oil And Gaz Sector, Rami Harkous
BAU Journal - Science and Technology
Due to harsh environment and vulnerability of marine ecosystems, many challenges are faced regarding offshore oil and gas activities. Many steps are currently undertaken to overcome such challenges.
As Lebanon is inside the new oil and gas sector in its offshore region, plans should be made to address environmental challenges that may occur in this sector. The Lebanese environmental governance system meets international standards in various aspects but some gaps are addressed to manage such risks that may be encountered with oil and gas activities in the Lebanese offshore. This article ends by a fast run through environmental regulatory authority, …

Held V. State, Alec D. Skuntz
Held V. State, Alec D. Skuntz
Public Land & Resources Law Review
On March 13, 2020, a group of 16 Montana children and teenagers filed a complaint in the First Judicial District, Lewis and Clark County against the State of Montana and several state agencies. These young Plaintiffs sought injunctive and declaratory relief against Defendants for their complicity in continuing to extract and release harmful amounts of greenhouse gases which contribute to climate change. Plaintiffs premised their argument on the Montana Constitution’s robust environmental rights and protections. The Defendants filed a motion to dismiss which the District Court granted in-part and denied in-part. Held provides a roadmap for future litigation by elucidating …
The Implausibility Standard For Environmental Plaintiffs: The Twiqbal Plausibility Pleading Standard And Affirmative Defenses, Celeste Anquonette Ajayi
The Implausibility Standard For Environmental Plaintiffs: The Twiqbal Plausibility Pleading Standard And Affirmative Defenses, Celeste Anquonette Ajayi
Washington Law Review
Environmental plaintiffs often face challenges when pleading their claims. This is due to difficulty in obtaining the particular facts needed to establish causation, and thus liability. In turn, this difficulty inhibits their ability to vindicate their rights. Prior to the shift in pleading standards created by Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly and Ashcroft v. Iqbal, often informally referred to as “Twiqbal,” plaintiffs could assert their claims through the simplified notice pleading standard articulated in Conley v. Gibson. This allowed plaintiffs to gain access to discovery, which aided in proving their claims.
The current heightened pleading standard …

The Right To Repair: (Re)Building A Better Future, Jumana Labib
Undergraduate Student Research Internships Conference
The goal of this research project was to take a multi-faceted, interdisciplinary approach to research and examine the Right to Repair movement’s progress, current repair practices, impediments, and imperatives, and the various large-scale implications (environmental, economic, social, etc.) stemming from diminished consumer freedom as a result of increased corporate greed and lack of governmental regulations with regards to repair and the environment. This poster exhibits the highlights of my general research project on the Right to Repair movement over the course of this four month internship, and aims to disseminate information about the movement to the wider public in an …

The Role Of Sunnah In The Protection Of The Environment
The Role Of Sunnah In The Protection Of The Environment
UAEU Law Journal
Protecting the environment from pollution is probably a major international problem. Islam preceded all man-made legislations in protecting the environment. The legislations of Islam were adequate enough to protect the environment in a way that guarantees the best use of it. This paper consists of five parts. In the first part, the concept of environment was defined from a linguistic, geographical, and general sense. The concept of environment in Islam and the role of man in protecting it were also explained in the first part. The second part of the paper was devoted to the role of the Sunnah in …

UAEU Law Journal
Biological damage to the environment is considered to be one of the most complicated problems that face the world nowadays. This paper studies this problem from some of its various aspects: the civil liability of biological damage, the concept of biological diversity, its legislative nature, and the damage caused by genetically modified species and the multiplicity of legislative regimes to protect biological diversity. Furthermore, this study deals with all the above listed aspects on the local, regional and international levels. To be more specific, the study investigates the legal basis of civil liability of biological damage in terms of three …

Constitutional Right Of The Individual In The Environment Between The Differences In Jurisprudence (Fiqh) And The Judiciary Orientations: First Section, Amira Badr
UAEU Law Journal
The individual and the environment are considered as an integrated unit that we cannot imagine the existence of one without the existence of the other, so the international community became more aware that the protection of the environment is necessary for its survival, that made both states and international organizations contribute efforts in order to develop their legislations to protect the environment from all forms of degradation, pollution and to ensure life in sound and stable environment; through development and concluding international agreements dealing with this issues.
With the existence of the individual rights in healthy environment appears in relevant …

Enforcing The “Safe And Sanitary” Environment Standard Within U.S. Detention Facilities To Save Children’S Lives, Anam A. Khan
Enforcing The “Safe And Sanitary” Environment Standard Within U.S. Detention Facilities To Save Children’S Lives, Anam A. Khan
Saint Louis University Journal of Health Law & Policy
Overcrowding and unsanitary conditions within Customs and Border Protection (CBP) detention facilities are ideal for the transmission of infectious disease among CBP detainees. This is a dangerous problem. Between 2018 and 2019, at least six children died after acquiring infectious diseases while detained at CBP facilities. Migrant children are particularly vulnerable because their immune systems are not fully developed and due to the negative impact of trauma and stress have on their immune systems. Infectious disease promulgation within CBP facilities also puts the American public at risk because of the potential for transmission beyond CBP facilities. Employees who are regularly …
Integrating Environmental Protection Into Asean Trading System, Kittinut Supsoontornkul
Integrating Environmental Protection Into Asean Trading System, Kittinut Supsoontornkul
Dissertations & Theses
Integrating environmental protection into ASEAN trading system is pivotal for ensuring long-term economic development and environmental sustainability. Due to its resource-based economy, ASEAN's economic performance highly depends on the sustainable condition of the environment. The ASEAN approach prioritizing economic growth without environmental consideration leads to environmental degradation and economic loss. Many transboundary environmental problems in ASEAN result from unsustainable production methods aiming to maximize advantages in trade competition. There are growing international efforts in addressing production and process methods as a part of the sustainable development goal. Major trading partners of ASEAN increasingly employ unilateral environmental trade measures and environmental …
Immoral Patents, David O. Taylor
Immoral Patents, David O. Taylor
Faculty Journal Articles and Book Chapters
Only to a limited extent have U.S. legislators recognized the moral and ethical implications of the patentability of controversial technologies. I find this absence of legislative debate curious for several reasons, including the fact that for decades there has been an intense public debate over the government’s involvement in, and regulation of, research and development related to biotechnology, including reproduction technologies, and particularly the use and destruction of embryonic stem cells, embryos, and fetuses—areas of considerable moral and ethical concern. Nor has there been debate regarding patentability with respect to other areas of concern, such as technologies that damage the …

Nation’S Business And The Environment: The U.S. Chamber’S Changing Relationships With Ddt, “Ecologists,” Regulations, And Renewable Energy, Adam D. Orford
Scholarly Works
Nation’s Business was a monthly business magazine published by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, with a subscription list larger than Business Week, Forbes, or Fortune. This study explores how the magazine responded and adapted to the rise of environmentalism, and environmental regulation of business, by exploring its treatment of four topics: DDT, environmentalists, government regulation, and renewable energy. It is built on a full-text review of all issues of Nation’s Business published between 1945 and 1981. It reveals the development of a variety of anti-environmental logics and discourses, including the delegitimization of environmentalism as emotional and irrational, the undermining …

Outsourced Emissions: Why Local Governments Should Track And Measure Consumption- Based Greenhouse Gases, Jonathan Rosenbloom
Outsourced Emissions: Why Local Governments Should Track And Measure Consumption- Based Greenhouse Gases, Jonathan Rosenbloom
University of Colorado Law Review
While many local governments track greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions, almost all of them exclude most GHGs associated with consumption. These consumption-based emissions stem from the lifecycle production, pre-purchase transportation, sale, and disposal of goods, food, and services produced outside of a local jurisdiction but consumed inside the jurisdiction. Based on the limited data measuring extraterritorial emissions, these consumption-based emissions amount to more than half-and in some places more than threefourths- of GHG emissions directly connected to local consumption patterns and behaviors. This Article argues that local governments should track and measure these pervasive GHGs. Doing so may unlock meaningful information …
