ISLANDS WITHIN BOUNDARY RIVERS OR LAKES A. General CHAPTER V ISLANDS WITHIN BOUNDARY RIVERS OR LAKES A. General Points Islands can be located in many different types of water features. When islands are found in the terri- torial seas or along the coast of a State, the principal issues concern the drawing of baselines. When they are found further out to sea, the principal issues concern whether they generate maritime zones and whether those zones overlap with the maritime zones generated by other features. Both of those situations are addressed in Chapter VI. Yet islands can also be found in areas that are not considered part of the seas, but which are important for inter-State relations. Specifically, islands can be found in lakes and rivers that serve as boundaries between two States. When this happens, disputes may arise as to sovereignty over the island or the relevance of the island for delimiting the boundary. The issues discussed in Chapter IV with respect to sovereignty over islands are applicable as well when addressing islands found in international lakes and rivers, and may speak both to sovereignty over the island and to sovereignty over the appurtenant waters. Islands found in these locations are not addressed through application of any of the rules of the LOS Convention, nor are they subject to dispute resolution under that Convention. Special rules or methods, however, may come into play with respect to islands found in boundary rivers and lakes, which merit at least a brief discussion. 148 S. D. Murphy B. Islands in Boundary Rivers There exist various contemporary disputes over islands located in boundary rivers, meaning rivers that serve as a boundary between two or more States. For example, there is a small island located at the confluence of the Uruguay River and the Quarai (or Cuareim) River, where the borders of Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay intersect. The island, which is approximately 2 kilometres long and one-half kilometre wide, is known as Brazilian Island, and is claimed by both Brazil and Uruguay, though neither side is actively enforcing its claim 468. Brazil also has a dispute with Bolivia regarding a small island that lies in the Rio Mamoré, called Ilha de Guajará-Mirim by Brazil and Isla Suárez by Bolivia 469. Examples in Europe include disputes between Croatia and Serbia relating to the islands of Vukovar and Sarengrad located in the Danube River 470. Such disputes may principally concern sovereignty over the island (which may then collaterally affect the location of the boundary) or the location of the boundary (which may then collaterally affect sovereignty over the island). In reaching agreement on the location of the boundary, States may choose one of several options : placing the boundary on one or the other bank of the river ; placing the boundary along a median line ; or placing the boundary along the thalweg of the river, meaning a line that follows the deepest channel of the river. The last option has the benefit of providing both States access to the most navigable part of the river, but all these options have the disadvantage of choosing an 468 See Emmanuel Brunet-Jailly (ed.), Border Disputes : A Global Encyclopedia, Vol. 2, ABC-CILO, 2015, pp. 478-479. 469 Central Intelligence Agency, The World Factbook : 2010 Edition, Washington DC, Potomac Books, 2010, p. 82. 470 See Mladen Klemenčić and Clive H.

    CIST2020 proceedings Population, temps, territoires | Population, Time, Territories | Población, tiempo, territorios Transborder Processes and Transborder AUTHORS Aldomar A. RÜCKERT, Regions in South America. Luísa A. CAYE The Case of the Triple Border between Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay ABSTRACT This work deals with some territorial repercussions of transborder processes on transborder regions in the southest triple border in South America between Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay. This region encompasses the twin cities of Barra do Quaraí (Brazil), Monte Caseros (Argentina) and Bella Unión (Uruguay). The work focuses on identifying the actions of territorial actors who seek integration between the three cities. South American macro-regional policies are still not sufficient for the daily problems of border populations, mainly rural and distant from the main centres. Territorial actors, whether from the organised civil society or local governments, develop actions that seek integration between the three cities. For the analysis of their actions, we study the contemporary scenario of the processes and policies of opening/closing the South American borders, as well as the historical and territorial construction of the triple twin cities. KEYWORDS Transborder regions, Territorial actors, Territorial policies, Integration, South America RÉSUMÉ Ce travail examine quelques répercussions territoriales des processus transfrontaliers à l’œuvre dans la région transfrontalière de la triple frontière la plus au sud des Amériques entre le Brésil, l’Argentine et l’Uruguay. Cette région comprend les triples villes jumelles de Barra do Quaraí (Brésil), Monte Caseros (Argentine) et Bella Unión (Uruguay). Le travail est centré sur l’identification des actions des acteurs territoriaux en quête d’intégration entre les trois villes.

  • National Action Plan for the Conservation Of
    NATIONATIONNALAL AACTIOCTIONN PLAPLANN FORFOR THETHE CCOONNSERVATIOSERVATIONN OFOF AALBATROSSESLBATROSSES AANNDD PETRELSPETRELS (P(PLALANNACAACAP)P) The National Action Plan for the Conservation of Albatrosses and Petrels was developed to protect resident birds, here considered as those known to reproduce in Brazilian territory, and also migratory species that although do not reproduce in Brazil, frequently occur along the Brazilian coast, coming here from distant islands to feed. The last ones highly interact with oceanic fishing vessels attending it to obtain food. Often, these birds are incidentally caught by the longliners and dragged to the bottom, dying by drowning. The resident birds suffer with the degradation of reproduction sites, due to native forest cover suppression, and predation by non native species introduced by man as rodents, dogs and cats. The introduction of species is one of the most important issues for a considerable part of the endangered seabird species all over the world. HISTORICAL FACTS The proposal of the development of an international action plan to reduce seabird bycatch on longline fishing was conducted by Committee of Fisheries (COF) of Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in 1997, in order to establish an international agreement to address the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries. The Brazilian government signed voluntarily the International Plan, and consequently assumed the responsibility of developing its own national action plan.

Using the concept of “architecture of domestication”, proposed by Anderson and others (2017), this article investigates the role of alambrados (wire and wooden fences) in the context of animal husbandry in the Brazilian-Uruguayan Pampa, the technical processes involved in their construction, as well as the new configurations and uses for these structures that have emerged along with the biological invasion of European wild boars (Sus scrofa) in the region. I will show that the alambrados are key elements in the difference between positive direct action and negative indirect action in relation to the animals of the herd within the Pampeano system of domestication.
