    his three volume publication includes the constitutional documents of all Tcountries in Southeast Asia as of December 2007, as well as the ASEAN Charter (Vol. I), reports on the national constitutions (Vol. II), and a collection of papers on cross-cutting issues (Vol. III) which were mostly presented at a conference at the end of March 2008. This collection of Constitutional documents and analytical papers provides the reader with a comprehensive insight into the development of Constitutionalism in Southeast Asia. Some of the constitutions have until now not been publicly available in an up to date English language version. But apart from this, it is the first printed edition ever with ten Southeast Asian constitutions next to each other which makes comparative studies much easier. The country reports provide readers with up to date overviews on the different constitutional systems. In these reports, a common structure is used to enable comparisons in the analytical part as well. References and recommendations for further reading will facilitate additional research. Some of these reports are the first ever systematic analysis of those respective constitutions, while others draw on substantial literature on those constitutions. The contributions on selected issues highlight specific topics and cross-cutting issues in more depth. Although not all timely issues can be addressed in such publication, they indicate the range of questions facing the emerging constitutionalism within this fascinating region.

This article seeks to establish that in spite of the crucial role of the court in establishing justice, there are other institutions and mechanisms that can and have been used to achieve justice. In this study Malaysia is used as an example. This article is the result of a qualitative study which employs legal analysis of the constitution and laws in the country. Despite the judiciary’s fundamental role in dispensing justice it have weaknesses and limitations. As shown in this article apart from the formal courts and judges there many institutions and mechanisms which are outside the formal structure of the judiciary that play significant role in resolving dispute, avoiding conflict and realizing justice.

  • Intellectual Property Colloqium of Judges in Asia and the Pacific
    INTELLECfUAL PROPERTY COLLOQUIUM OF JUDGES IN ASIA AND THE PACIFIC jointly organized by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and the Law Association for Asia and the Western Pacific (LAW ASIA) with the assistance of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) at Sydney, Australia October 8 to 12, 1984 GENEVA 1985 WJPO PUBLICATION No. 652 (E) ISBN 92-805-0145-3 © WIPO 1985 FOREWORD The protection of intellectual property rights, which are a reward for creativity and inventiveness and a stimulus to further creative and inventive efforts, is dependent on the effective administration of justice. The recognition of this essential contribution of the Judiciary to the intellectual property system lay behind the organization of the Intellectual Property Colloquium of Judges in Asia and the Pacific which was held in Sydney, Australia, in October 1984. The papers which were delivered at the Colloquium are collected in the present volume. The Colloquium was jointly organized by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and the Law Association for Asia and the Western Pacific (LAWASIA) with the assistance of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). As LAWASIA is the largest organization of judges, legal practitioners, and law teachers in Asia and the Pacific, it was appropriate that the theme of this second joint activity undertaken by WIPO and LAWASIA should concentrate on the judicial role in the intellectual property system. Justices, including five Chief Justices, and Judges from fourteen countries in the region, as well as guests from countries outside the region, participated in the Colloquium, which provided a forum for the exchange of views and opinions on those issues which have assumed prominence in the intellectual property cases coming before the courts of the various countries in the region.

This is not only in breach of international standards, but also places both citizens and the environment at risk. Greater environmental openness would enable more effective participation in environmental stewardship and decision-making, promoting a truly public interest approach in terms of providing an appropriate balance between competing interests, reducing corruption and breach of the rules, and leading to greater protection for the environment. It would also help individuals safeguard themselves against environmental hazards. Malaysia is home to one of the world’s twelve areas of mega-biodiversity. Yet pollution and habitat loss – very often the consequence of big development projects – are taking their toll on local communities and are threatening the country’s abundant natural richness. The government’s approach has been characterised by undue secrecy and the withholding of information, seriously undermining the ability of citizens to participate in decision-making around issues which affect the environment. Even where public health is directly and severely affected, the government has reacted with secrecy.
