Geopolitical Disruption In Shipping - Sanctions, War, And Force Majeure

de Richard L Kilpatrick

~~107,33€~~ 96,60€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book examines how the shipping industry is responding to the commercial challenges caused by geopolitical risk.Geopolitical volatility in the modern world is generating physical and economic obstacles that are disrupting shipping activities and causing disputes that raise fundamental questions of commercial law. Studying this phenomenon by exploring common themes among varied dimensions of business disruption, the book first surveys physical disruption to shipping activities across the categories of war, unrest and piracy. It then turns to the purely economic disruption caused by sanctions and alternative forms of statecraft deployed in' 'trade wars'.The book examines each of these categories by highlighting geopolitical and regulatory context, assessing industry adaptations, and analysing cross-jurisdictional case law to gather insight into the contractual rights and responsibilities impacted by these scenarios. Assessing solutions including the development of bespoke contract clauses and the application of broader principles of illegality, impossibility, frustration, and force majeure the book demonstrates that this rapidly evolving area of international commercial law demands a readiness to borrow analytical approaches across categories of business disruption.With industry participants, courts, arbitrators and scholars in mind, the book provides a contemporary perspective on the geopolitical challenges affecting shipping through a distinctive commercial law lens.

Multinationals And Human Rights In Asia

~~119,25€~~ 107,33€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book investigates the availability in Asian jurisdictions of civil remedies against multinational businesses for human rights abuses. Various means have been developed in Europe and elsewhere to hold businesses accountable to victims for human rights abuses. Techniques include legislating due diligence requirements for companies operating abroad, broadening court jurisdiction to include foreign companies having subsidiaries within a country, expanding international jurisdiction, promoting universal jurisdiction, and implementing international conventions and sanctions.On the 15th anniversary of the 2011 UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the book assesses whether the norms of the UN Guiding Principles have taken root in Asia, which has only had a mixed record for upholding human rights. The book first considers the international state of play in the field. It moves on to case studies of corporate governance and human rights in Asia (especially Japan, South Korea, India, Thailand and the Philippines). It then examines emerging issues (environmental damage and climate change, crimes against humanity, and compliance programs and corporate criminal responsibility), and considers how Asia has dealt and can deal with corporate responsibility in connection with those matters. By way of conclusion, the book offers an action plan for implementing the UN Guiding Principles in Asia.

de Ruth Adler

~~33,13€~~ 29,82€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This timely book traces the evolution of the Green Climate Fund (GCF) since its establishment in 2010.

Principles Of Statutory Interpretation

de Richard Calnan

~~103,34€~~ 93,01€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The interpretation of legal texts is, essentially, a question of judgement. But that judgement cannot be exercised arbitrarily, it must be exercised in accordance with the rule of law. In Principles of Statutory Interpretation, Richard Calnan explains these rules using seven defined principles that should be considered when interpreting legislation. The first principle of 'object intention' concerns establishing how a reasonable person would interpret the legislation. The second confirms that the actual text or words of the statute are the source of that objective intention. Principle 3 reminds us that words used must be interpreted given their role in the statute as a whole, and the fourth principle examines how that context may be judged. The fifth and sixth highlight that words should, generally, be given their natural meaning in statute, and for those words that are ambiguous, the approach is to apply the meaning that the legislature is most likely to have intended. However, the seventh principle recognises that there are circumstances when words are given a meaning which differs from their natural meaning. These principles are not a series of self-contained precepts which can be applied independently of each other, rather they need to be understood together. Principles of Statutory Interpretation, provides the reader with examples which illustrate how the various principles of statutory interpretation, work in practice

Making Of International Criminal Justice - A View From The Bench: Selected Speeches

de Theodor Meron

34,44€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 There has been a quiet revolution over the course of the past quarter century in the prosecution of individuals for war crimes before international courts. Until recently, and with a few notable exceptions in the wake of World War II, violations of the laws of war and international humanitarian law were addressed primarily as claims between states. However, this approach has changed radically in just the last twenty years, as the international community has increasingly accepted the idea of individual criminal responsibility for violations of international humanitarian law. The International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda have played a key role in this transformation and, as the trailblazers for a growing number of new international or hybrid criminal courts, in establishing the field of international criminal justice and encouraging the national prosecution of war crimes. Understanding the Tribunals' origins, their ground-breaking jurisprudence, and how they have addressed critical legal and practical challenges is essential to understanding both the revolution that has occurred over the past twenty years and how international criminal law will change and grow in the years ahead. As a leading scholar on humanitarian law, past President of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, and Appeals Judge for both the Yugoslavia and Rwanda Tribunals, Theodor Meron has observed and influenced the development of international criminal law as it has evolved from a mostly academic exercise to a cornerstone of the new international legal order. In this collection of speeches delivered during his first decade on the bench, he offers an insightful overview of the foundations of international criminal law as well as a unique, insider's perspective on the challenges faced by international criminal tribunals, their creation of a corpus of substantive and procedural law regarding everything from sentencing and self-representation to the law of genocide and the protection of prisoners of war, the contributions of other international courts, and the responsibilities of international jurists. Judge Meron's personal reflections and unparalleled experience in international criminal justice make this volume as rewarding for experts as it is for the general public.

Restrictions On The Right To Repair Under Ip Law. Impacts On Achievement Of Sustainability Goals

de Martin Gigoni

~~15,61€~~ 14,05€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2023 in the subject Law - European and International Law, Intellectual Properties, grade: 72, University of Kent, course: Contemporary Topics in IP Law, language: English, abstract: This Paper argues that the EU needs to adopt a harmonised policy framework promoting the right to repair and limiting manufacturers' use of IPRs on software to restrict repair rights which ultimately impacts the achievement of sustainability goals. Part B begins with the origins of the right to repair movement and its significance. Part C discusses restrictions on repair rights, including the role of IPRs. Part D discusses how the EU legal framework recognises repair rights and contrasts this with the Australian approach. Part E discusses the suggestions of scholars on reforms to the EU legal framework to better tackle restrictions on repair rights. Modern electronics constitute not only the hardware in the device itself but also the embedded software that is critical to the device s functionality. This software is usually pre-installed on the device by the manufacturer to run all its basic operations. This integration of software systems to devices, sometimes called the "softening of hardware", requires the intervention of intellectual property rights (IPRs) to delineate the blurry lines separating the device and its functional components in software. Consequently, manufacturers use IPRs on the embedded software to limit the consumer s control over a device and effectively lock them out from doing basic repairs to restore functionality. These limitations discourage many consumers from pursuing repairs in favour of purchasing new devices and discarding the faulty ones. The result is a linear model of consumption and a throw away culture contributing to large amounts of electronics waste (e-waste) disposed worldwide. In 2019, consumer electronics comprised 54 million Metric Tons of e-waste, with Europe contributing 12 million Metric Tons. Worse still, the effects of e-waste pileups have for decades flowed downstream from developed to developing countries. In response, the European Union (EU) has focused on achieving a circular economy to reduce e-waste by extending the lifespan and usability of products through, inter alia, recognising the right to repair movement.

Protecting Champagne As A Geographical Indication. The Champengwine Case

~~7,83€~~ 7,05€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Academic Paper from the year 2024 in the subject Law - European and International Law, Intellectual Properties, grade: 28/30, Bocconi University, course: European and International Advanced IP Law, language: English, abstract: This paper aims to explore the interplay between trademark law and the often-elusive concept of bad faith against the backdrop of protecting the Champagne Geographical Indication by examining the case of CIVC and INAO v. Keep Waddling International Pte. Ltd. [2020] SGIPOS 10 and its implications within trademark and GI jurisprudence. The unique reputation of champagne is guaranteed by the protection afforded by the Champagne GI, a type of intellectual property right primarily cited in the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS), ensuring that the label champagne can only be used for sparkling wines produced from certain grape varieties grown in the eponymous region in France. Protecting the appellation of origin reassures the consumer product authenticity and the strict restraints on the words use by the CIVC and INAO is motivated by the anticipation of the term and therefore the product of champagne becoming arbitrary and universal with unlimited use. The degree of similarity of terms and the therefore resulting likelihood of confusion for the consumer plays an essential role in deciding whether signs for products manufactured outside the Champagne region can be granted legal protection or not. In the case considered, the inclusion of "ChamPeng" in the Applicant s trademark led to the refusal of its protection, not because the trademark would not meet the necessary registration requirements, but because its similarity to the champagne term gave inference for bad faith. Since the case s dispute does not arise from a false claim or deceptive information, it particularly diverges from traditionally established bad faith categories. Therefore, the following question arises: How does the case contribute to the conduct of protection of GIs in trademark law?The examination of the aforementioned issue will involve a comprehensive review of the case under consideration. Initially, the legal foundations and the Applicant's claims that prompted the legal proceedings will be outlined to establish the legal basis of the case. Subsequently, attention will be directed towards presenting the counterpart s position, providing insights into the potential resolution of the dispute afterwards. Finally, the Court's ultimate decision will be scrutinized to discern its potential impact on enhancing the broader legal framework and in its challenging of conventional boundaries within trademark jurisprudence.
