The Nafta Package And The Environment: A Green Analysis Of Its Origins And Effects, Pedro M. Morales-Gomez

LLM Theses and Essays

When the presidential candidate Clinton announced that he would not support NAFTA without environmental and labor side agreements, and during the period before NAFTA's ratification by the American Congress, Mexicans lived in most tense suspense. Even though, the idea of an environmental side agreement seemed to please most environmentalists in Mexico who hoped that this would lead to creating a major environmental conscience in the Mexican government. The purpose of this thesis is to elaborate a critical analysis of the North American Free Trade Agreement, its related documents and their effects concerning the environment, specifically its legal protection. We will …

Treaties In The Mist, Jarred Kassenoff

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The note argues that the survival of the mountain gorilla, a critically endangered species with only 300–350 individuals remaining, depends on strengthening international environmental treaties like CITES and addressing broader socio-political and economic factors. While CITES and the African Convention on Conservation provide important frameworks, their effectiveness is hindered by weaknesses such as lack of implementation, inadequate resources, and insufficient enforcement. The note emphasizes the need for treaties to shift from goal-oriented to implementation-oriented approaches, coupled with increased public awareness, political will, and resource allocation, to ensure the species’ survival.

Regulation Of The International Transport Of Packaged Dangerous Goods: The Case For Legislative Integration In A World Convention, Mirsada Stasevic

LLM Theses

The multimodal transport of dangerous goods is a high risk enterprise for the participants, the public, and public and private property. This study examines the lack of congruency of safety and environmental protection rules which govern the international transport of dangerous goods, along with the concurrent progressive efforts of the international community to ensure global and inter-modal harmonization of these rules. It discusses their inadequacy and proposes a solution. The analysis of the existing rules, fragmented along modal and geographical fines, shows that they do not sufficiently introduce the safety, environmental protection and liability considerations into the legal regime governing …

Is Nafta Up To Its Green Expectations? Effective Law Enforcement Under The North American Agreement On Environmental Cooperation, Beatriz Bugeda

University of Richmond Law Review

On January 1, 1994, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) between the governments of Mexico, Canada and the United States went into effect. Together with this trade agreement, the governments of the three countries entered into a side agreement on the environment: the North American Agreement on Environmental Cooperation (NAAEC). This agreement, also known as the Environmental Side Agreement, responded to some of the concerns of NAFTA critics. Some environmentalists believed NAFTA would promote environmentally insensitive and uncontrolled growth, and others thought the liberalization of trade would be used as a means to preempt stringent domestic environmental regulations.

Are Tuna And Dolphins The Same? A Rule Of Reason Approach To Resolve The Trade And Environment Conflict, Anantha K. Paruthipattu

LLM Theses and Essays

Trade and environment are both primary values in an ecologically and economically interdependent world; unleashing trade without regard to environmental impact is as detrimental as guarding the environment at the expense of trade and development. Tuna and dolphins have come to symbolize the policy struggle between trade and environment. In early 1990, the United States banned the import of tuna from Mexico and other countries that were fishing in a manner that damaged dolphins in the Eastern Tropical Pacific Ocean. Mexico challenged this ban before a GATT Panel, which ruled against the United States and held that the tuna ban …

Selected Bibliography: The Reintegration Of Hong Kong Into China, Audrey E. Haroz, Jonathan R. Smith

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

The reintegration of Hong Kong into the People's Republic of China (hereinafter P.R.C.) on July 1, 1997, brought together two countries, one capitalist and one communist, under one rule. As evidenced by the variety of perspectives offered at the Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law's Symposium on Hong Kong's Reintegration into the P.R.C., there is much scholarly debate concerning this merger and the effect it will have on the people and politics of both countries as well as on the international community.

An earlier version of this bibliography is included in the May 1997 issue of the Journal. This bibliography has …
