Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

An act done abroad is actionable as a tort in Singapore if it is both actionable as a tort according to the law of Singapore and the law where the act was done. This double actionability rule which requires actionability by the law of Singapore even though the act in question was done abroad, was first enunciated in the 19th century when proof of foreign law was difficult and unfamiliarity with and perhaps suspicion of foreign law was inevitable. The UK, Australia, and Canada have replaced the rule with a more ‘international’ choice of law rule which reflects changes in …

The Problem Of Enforcing Environmental Norms In The Wto And What To Do About It, Sanford E. Gaines Jan 2003

The Problem Of Enforcing Environmental Norms In The Wto And What To Do About It, Sanford E. Gaines

UC Law SF International Law Review

National and international focus and efforts on trade has led to the comparative disadvantage of international environmental policy relative to trade policy in what is known as the trade-environment problematique. The tension between trade and the environment does not exist because trade norms trump environmental norms, but because of the tension between environmental protection and the intensification of economic activity to provide for the world's growing population. This article argues that rather than creating a new international institution to address the trade-environment problematique, international environmental policy should instead be more fully and deeply integrated into economic policy, which can only …

Enforcing Environmental Norms: Diplomatic And Judicial Approaches, Nicholas A. Robinson Jan 2003

Enforcing Environmental Norms: Diplomatic And Judicial Approaches, Nicholas A. Robinson

UC Law SF International Law Review

In the space of one generation, through both national and international agreements, nations have established norms and a framework for environmental stewardship of the Earth. One sign of the acceptance and maturation of environmental norms is that nations now worry about how to enforce environmental law and how to achieve compliance. Enforcement of environmental laws is essential to attaining the international objective of sustainable development. To be effective, this enforcement must be routine, reasonably resourced and predictable-an arduous challenge. In order to build a sustainable global community, the nations of the world must renew their commitment to the United Nations, …

A Comparative Look At Anti-Stalking Legislation In The United States And Japan, Nga B. Tran Jan 2003

A Comparative Look At Anti-Stalking Legislation In The United States And Japan, Nga B. Tran

UC Law SF International Law Review

Even with anti-stalking laws in place in the United States, the persistence of stalking crimes is alarming. Providing victims with maximum protection under a legal system requires drafting constitutionally valid statutes, mandatory police education and training on the subject and prevention and early intervention. In addition, comparing the anti-stalking laws in the United States with the newly implemented anti-stalking laws in Japan, which have been very effective in curbing the activities of stalkers, leads to the conclusion that anti-stalking laws in the U.S. should incorporate many of Japan's victim-oriented measures.
