  • International Environmental Law: Particularities
    http://dx.doi.org/10.18623/rvd.v17i37.1591 INTERNATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL LAW: PARTICULARITIES Paulo de Bessa Antunes1 Federal University of the State of Rio de Janeiro (UNIRIO) ABSTRACT The article analyzes the legal instruments available under international law for the protection of the environment, seeking to show that there is an International Environmental Law in formation, which is beginning to be affirmed. Throughout the article, we analyze the main characteristics able to mark the peculiar position of this branch in the construction of the inter- national legal order. The International Environmental Law is a new Law, which, however, has brought important news to the international legal or- der. The article highlights some of these modifications, e.g. the change of concepts of responsibility and sovereignty, the wide use of principles and the gradual transformation of the subjects of Public International Law. The article also highlights the political, social and economic difficulties for the effectiveness and implementation of this new branch of international law. Keywords: environmentalism; International Environmental Law; global- ization; public policy; sustainability.

  • Note to Mr. Riza Dpajpweekly REPORT on SIGNIFICANT
    Note to Mr. Riza DPAJpWEEKLY REPORT ON SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS IN PREVENTIVE DIPLOMACY AND PEACEMAKING As requested, I attach for submission to the Secretary-General this week's report on the above subject. Kieran Prendergast 28 January 1999 Copy to: The Deputy Secretary-General Mr. Connor Mr. Corell Mr. Miyet Mr. Vieira de Mello Mr. Carlson (Situation Centre) (Mr. Riza original + 4 copies) SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS IN PREVENTIVE DIPLOMACY AND PEACEMAKING IN THE WEEK BEGINNING 22 JANUARY 1999 Department of Political Affairs AFRICA Angola: Accompanied by UNITA officials, the MONUA investigation team visited the site of the second plane crash in UNITA controlled territory. Preliminary observations of the team indicated that the plane had been on fire while attempting to make an emergency landing; both the cockpit voice and flight data recorders had been removed; the tail section had bullet holes. The team was told by villagers that the plane was in flames before it started to fall. All nine passengers and crew are presumed dead. Fighting continued in the Central highlands and around the city of Malange further north. UNITA has captured M'Banza Congo, the capital of Zaire province. The Government reiterated its opposition to the extension of MONUA's mandate. Central African Republic (CAR): The fighting in the neighbouring DRC continues to pose a threat to the security of the CAR. On 27 January, a member of the new CAR parliament stated that thousands of DRC soldiers had invaded the CAR border town of Zemio, robbing and raping residents. During his visit this month to Bangui as the Secretary-General's Personal Envoy, ASG Annabi stressed to the authorities that the CAR should not allow itself to be drawn into the DRC conflict.

Since then, various UN agencies appear to have accepted R2P by incorporating aspects of the concept into their institutional and operational mandates. Literature on the subject places R2P in the security realm where it is either heralded as a ‘paradigm shift’ towards progressive humanitarianism or denounced as a mask for imperial militarism.

  • Le Nigeria Et La Suisse, Des Affaires D'indépendance
    STEVE PAGE Le Nigeria et la Suisse, des affaires d’indépendance Commerce, diplomatie et coopération 1930–1980 PETER LANG Analyser les rapports économiques et diplomatiques entre le Nigeria et la Suisse revient à se pencher sur des méca- nismes peu connus de la globalisation: ceux d’une relation Nord-Sud entre deux puissances moyennes et non colo- niales. Pays le plus peuplé d’Afrique, le Nigeria semblait en passe de devenir, à l’aube de son indépendance, une puissance économique continentale. La Suisse, comme d’autres pays, espérait profiter de ce vaste marché promis à une expansion rapide. Entreprises multinationales, diplo- mates et coopérants au développement sont au centre de cet ouvrage, qui s’interroge sur les motivations, les moyens mis en œuvre et les impacts des activités de chacun. S’y ajoutent des citoyens suisses de tous âges et de tous mi- lieux qui, bouleversés par les images télévisées d’enfants squelettiques durant la « Guerre du Biafra » en 1968, en- treprirent des collectes de fonds et firent pression sur leur gouvernement pour qu’il intervienne. Ce livre donne une profondeur éclairante aux relations Suisse – Nigeria, ré- cemment médiatisées sur leurs aspects migratoires, ou sur les pratiques opaques de négociants en pétrole établis en Suisse. STEVE PAGE a obtenu un doctorat en histoire contempo- raine de l’Université de Fribourg et fut chercheur invité à l’IFRA Nigeria et au King’s College London. Il poursuit des recherches sur la géopolitique du Nigeria. www.peterlang.com Le Nigeria et la Suisse, des affaires d’indépendance STEVE PAGE Le Nigeria et la Suisse, des affaires d’indépendance Commerce, diplomatie et coopération 1930–1980 PETER LANG Bern · Berlin · Bruxelles · Frankfurt am Main · New York · Oxford · Wien Information bibliographique publiée par «Die Deutsche Nationalbibliothek» «Die Deutsche Nationalbibliothek» répertorie cette publication dans la «Deutsche Nationalbibliografi e»; les données bibliographiques détaillées sont disponibles sur Internet sous ‹http://dnb.d-nb.de›.

J. Int'l L. & Bus. 383 (2010) This Article is brought to you for free and open access by Northwestern University School of Law Scholarly Commons. It has been accepted for inclusion in Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business by an authorized administrator of Northwestern University School of Law Scholarly Commons. Judicial Politics and International Investment Arbitration: Seeking an Explanation for Conflicting Outcomes David Schneiderman* "You're like a judge. You're called on to decide the matter. In good conscience, you have to be able to look at yourself and say, 'It's my decision. I know the law and the facts exhaustively."' Marc Lalonde Abstract Internationalinvestment arbitrationhas been described as a private system of justice addressing matters of high public policy. Yet, despite the very high stakes involved-in terms of both policy room and monetary implications-tribunalawards are sometimes difficult to reconcile. This conflict usually is explained with reference to the fact that these are ad hoc tribunals addressing specific disputes arising under particularinvestment treaties. Not so easily explained are conflicting tribunal awards drawing on virtually identicalfacts, invoking the same treaty text, where arbitrators seemingly change their minds from one case to the next without any explanation.
