Developing A National Coastal Zone Management Program For Venezuela, Marisol Salazar Jan 1997

Developing A National Coastal Zone Management Program For Venezuela, Marisol Salazar

LLM Theses and Essays

The primary focus of this study is to develop a National Coastal Zone Management Program for Venezuela, a moderate, comprehensive, and an effective long-term program which allows the development and protection of the Venezuelan Coastal Zone now and in the future. This program must comply with the actual Venezuelan environmental laws and its administrative mechanisms. Also, it must help to control ecological, economic, commercial, social, and human pressures on the Venezuelan coastal area. The design of this project will be based on an analysis of the extensive experience of the U.S.A. coastal states under the Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA); …


A Right To Ice?: The Application Of International And National Water Laws To The Acquisition Of Iceberg Rights, Bryan S. Geon Jan 1997

A Right To Ice?: The Application Of International And National Water Laws To The Acquisition Of Iceberg Rights, Bryan S. Geon

Michigan Journal of International Law

This note first reviews in Part I the history and potential of the idea of iceberg utilization. Part II then briefly examines the relevant sources of international law relating to iceberg acquisition. Finding that the standard sources of international law, such as conventions and international custom, currently provide inadequate guidance in this area. The note in Part III then searches for general principles embodied in the three major regimes of national water law: riparian rights, prior appropriation, and administrative allocation. Finally, it outlines in Part IV what an iceberg appropriation regime might look like under each regime.

Preface, Dawn A. Russell, Moira L. Mcconnell

Dalhousie Law Journal

As guest editors we are privileged to have the opportunity to create this special edition of the Dalhousie Law Journal. It is special for a number of reasons. First, the contributions reflect a specific decision on our part to explore the nature and meaning of events being experienced in Atlantic Canada's fishery from a variety of perspectives, of which law, traditionally privileged in law journals for its explanation of events, is perhaps the least important. Secondly the authors, many of whom are people who would not ordinarily write for legal publications, were given express carte blanche to contribute "think pieces" …


Charting The Law Of Maritime Boundaries, W. P. Gormley Mar 1995

Charting The Law Of Maritime Boundaries, W. P. Gormley

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

When faced with disputes concerning maritime boundaries, one must analyze an array of materials, including: unilateral state practices, bilateral boundary agreements, multilateral regional conventions, the major international conventions--particularly the Law of the Sea Conventions of 1958 and the 1982 United Nations Law of the Sea Convention -- and customary international law. Beyond question, this huge corpus of material appears overwhelming to most practitioners and scholars when they attempt to resolve maritime disputes. Faced with such a daunting task, scholars, practitioners, and judges may want to consult International Maritime Boundaries, a brilliantly executed research project that analyzes 134 maritime boundaries. The …

The Biodiversity Convention: How To Make It Work, Lee A. Kimball Jan 1995

The Biodiversity Convention: How To Make It Work, Lee A. Kimball

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

The Symposium convenors posed the following question: "Is a United Nations convention the most appropriate means to pursue the goal of biodiversity?" In response, the author notes that the Biodiversity Convention does not entail many binding obligations; rather, it provides a management framework from which further detailed action programs may develop. In the context of nonbinding international "soft law," the author advocates the adoption of a series of best practice "menus" for individual industries and sectors of activity, based on a review of existing technical criteria and guidelines. The author recognizes that specialized initiatives pursuant to the regional seas agreements …


Biodiversity In The Marine Environment: Resource Implications For The Law Of The Sea, Christopher C. Joyner Jan 1995

Biodiversity In The Marine Environment: Resource Implications For The Law Of The Sea, Christopher C. Joyner

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

Professor Joyner begins by explaining what biodiversity is and how it is currently being threatened. He then describes the existing international prescriptions that relate to the preservation of biodiversity, including the Convention on Biodiversity, the Convention on the Law of the Sea, the Convention on the Prevention of Marine Pollution by Dumping and Other Matter, and the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships. Professor Joyner examines how these prescriptions protect or fail to protect biodiversity in the marine environment, both independently and in conjunction with related international environmental law. Finally, he assesses how international organizations, regional protection …
