Establishment and Implementation of a Conservation and Management Regime for High Seas Fisheries, with Focus on the Southeast Pacific and Chile ESTABLISHMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT REGIME FOR HIGH SEAS FISHERIES, WITH FOCUS ON THE SOUTHEAST PACIFIC AND CHILE From Global Developments to Regional Challenges M. Cecilia Engler UN - Nippon Foundation Fellow 2006-2007 ii DISCLAIMER The views expressed herein are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Government of Chile, the United Nations, the Nippon Foundation of Japan or Dalhousie University. iii iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to express my profound gratitude to the Division for Ocean Affairs and the Law of the Sea (DOALOS), Office of Legal Affairs, United Nations, and the Nippon Foundation of Japan for making this extraordinary and rewarding experience possible. I want to extend my deepest gratitude to the Marine and Environmental Law Institute of Dalhousie University, Canada, and the Sir James Dunn Law Library at the same University Law School, for the assistance, support and warm hospitality provided in the first six months of my fellowship. My special gratitude to my supervisor, Dr. Aldo Chircop, for all his guidance and especially for encouraging me to broaden my perspective in order to understand the complexity of the area of research. I would also like to extend my appreciation to those persons who, with no interest but that of helping me through this process, provided me with new insights and perspectives: Jay Batongbacal (JSD Candidate, Dalhousie Law School, Dalhousie University), Johanne Fischer (Executive Secretary of NAFO), Robert Fournier (Marine Affairs Programme, Dalhousie University), Michael Shewchuck (DOALOS), André Tahindro (DOALOS), and David VanderZwaag (Dalhousie Law School, Dalhousie University). Special thanks to Colin Nash and Ron Pelot, who not only encouraged me throughout this process but also took time out of their busy agendas to read draft versions of this report, providing valuable comments. My deepest gratitude to Dr. Francois Bailet, Programme Advisor, for his valuable assistance, guidance, patience and time. Nevertheless, the persons mentioned are not responsible for my errors or misunderstandings. Special mention deserve my friends and colleagues back in Chile, who supported me with useful information but, most importantly, with their unconditional friendship. I also want to express my gratitude to the International Ocean Institute and all my fellow participants in the Oceans’s Governance Training Programme 2006, which comprised a valuable component of this fellowship. I would like to thank, especially, Michael Butler and Madeleine Coffen-Smout for their constant support and attention. Lastly, I want to thank my father for his generosity in encouraging me in this challenging and rewarding experience, despite difficult times. v vi ABBREVIATIONS CCSBT Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna CCAMLR Commission for the Conservation of the Antarctic Marine Living Resources CITES Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora COFI FAO Committee on Fisheries CPPS Comisión Permanente del Pacifico Sur (Permanent Commission for the South Pacific) DWFS Distant Water Fishing States DOALOS Division for Ocean Affairs and the Law of the Sea, Office of Legal Affairs, United Nations EEZ Exclusive Economic Zone FAO Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations FAO Compliance 1993 FAO Agreement to Promote Compliance with International Agreement Conservation and Management Measures by Fishing Vessels on the High Seas HSTF High Sea Task Force I-ATTC Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission IOTC Indian Ocean Tuna Commission IPOA International Plan of Action ICJ International Court of Justice ITLOS International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea IUU Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated LOS Convention 1982 United Nation’s Convention for the Law of the Sea MSY Maximum Sustainable Yield ODIL Journal of Ocean Development and International Law OECD Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development RFMO Regional Fisheries Management Organization UN United Nations UNCLOS I First United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea (1958) UNCLOS III Third United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea (1973-1982) UNEP United Nations Environment Programme UNFSA 1995 Agreement for the Implementation of the Provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea of 10 December 1982 relating to the Conservation and Management of Straddling Fish Stocks and Highly Migratory Fish Stocks UNGA United Nations General Assembly UNICPOLOS United Nations Open-ended Informal Consultative Process on Oceans and the Law of the Sea WTO World Trade Organization vii viii Table of contents DISCLAIMER.......................................................................................................................III ACKNOWLEDGMENTS .....................................................................................................

Lieber Title: House of Cards Advisor: Sheila Schroeder Degree Date: November 2013 Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to approach adapting a comic book into a film in a unique way. With so many comic-to-film adaptations following the trends of action movies, my goal was to adapt the popular comic book, Batman, into a screenplay that is not an action film. The screenplay, House of Cards, follows the original character of Miranda Greene as she attempts to understand insanity in Gotham’s most famous criminal, the Joker. The research for this project includes a detailed look at the comic book’s publication history, as well as previous film adaptations of Batman, and Batman in other relevant media.

  • “Why So Serious?” Comics, Film and Politics, Or the Comic Book Film As the Answer to the Question of Identity and Narrative in a Post-9/11 World
    ABSTRACT “WHY SO SERIOUS?” COMICS, FILM AND POLITICS, OR THE COMIC BOOK FILM AS THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION OF IDENTITY AND NARRATIVE IN A POST-9/11 WORLD by Kyle Andrew Moody This thesis analyzes a trend in a subgenre of motion pictures that are designed to not only entertain, but also provide a message for the modern world after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The analysis provides a critical look at three different films as artifacts of post-9/11 culture, showing how the integration of certain elements made them allegorical works regarding the status of the United States in the aftermath of the attacks. Jean Baudrillard‟s postmodern theory of simulation and simulacra was utilized to provide a context for the films that tap into themes reflecting post-9/11 reality. The results were analyzed by critically examining the source material, with a cultural criticism emerging regarding the progression of this subgenre of motion pictures as meaningful work. “WHY SO SERIOUS?” COMICS, FILM AND POLITICS, OR THE COMIC BOOK FILM AS THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION OF IDENTITY AND NARRATIVE IN A POST-9/11 WORLD A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Miami University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Communications Mass Communications Area by Kyle Andrew Moody Miami University Oxford, Ohio 2009 Advisor ___________________ Dr. Bruce Drushel Reader ___________________ Dr. Ronald Scott Reader ___________________ Dr. David Sholle TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ..........................................................................................................................

  • International Law Enforcement Cooperation in the Fisheries Sector: a Guide for Law Enforcement Practitioners
    International Law Enforcement Cooperation in the Fisheries Sector: A Guide for Law Enforcement Practitioners FOREWORD Fisheries around the world have been suffering increasingly from illegal exploitation, which undermines the sustainability of marine living resources and threatens food security, as well as the economic, social and political stability of coastal states. The illegal exploitation of marine living resources includes not only fisheries crime, but also connected crimes to the fisheries sector, such as corruption, money laundering, fraud, human or drug trafficking. These crimes have been identified by INTERPOL and its partners as transnational in nature and involving organized criminal networks. Given the complexity of these crimes and the fact that they occur across the supply chains of several countries, international police cooperation and coordination between countries and agencies is absolutely essential to effectively tackle such illegal activities. As the world’s largest police organization, INTERPOL’s role is to foster international police cooperation and coordination, as well as to ensure that police around the world have access to the tools and services to effectively tackle these transnational crimes. More specifically, INTERPOL’s Environmental Security Programme (ENS) is dedicated to addressing environmental crime, such as fisheries crimes and associated crimes. Its mission is to assist our member countries in the effective enforcement of national, regional and international environmental law and treaties, creating coherent international law enforcement collaboration and enhancing investigative support of environmental crime cases. It is in this context, that ENS – Global Fisheries Enforcement team identified the need to develop a Guide to assist in the understanding of international law enforcement cooperation in the fisheries sector, especially following several transnational fisheries enforcement cases in which INTERPOL was involved.
