Laing, Melissa Catherine. "Through the Transit Zone : between here and there". Thesis, The University of Sydney, 2008. http://hdl.handle.net/2123/4027.
Texto completoResumen
It is within the perception, the reality and the problematic of international air travel that this thesis is situated. It argues that a space has been created for international air travel, which is conceptually and physically demarcated from normative social space, the Transit Zone. The thesis examines four sites constituting the Transit Zone using both political and social theory and the analysis of performance and visual artworks that explore, explain or contest aspects of the sites. The first site is concerned with the construction of nation-state territory, population and legal movement. Its physical expression can be found at the border between the Transit Zone and the nation-state. However, its conceptual reach is much more extensive, appearing in immigration policy, national law, international covenants, data-sharing practices and the creation of a space external to, yet within, the nation-state system. This site creates the Transit Zone’s paradoxical position of being excluded from nation-state territory while simultaneously defining it. The second site is premised on the (in)security of civil aviation and explores the striving towards absolute security, and the unachievability of that goal. This is a reflection of the prevalence of (in)security discourses in contemporary society. The third site is created by corporate interest within the airport terminal and the aeroplane. It is the site of logistics and sales, of the passenger functioning both as an object or unit of movement and as a desiring purchasing subject. The fourth site is constructed through the imagination – it is made up of the ideas, cultural dreams and responses that have accreted around the site of the Transit Zone. These intimate and personal responses transform the Transit Zone from a site of function, profit and government control to a vehicle for the construction and realisation of fears, fantasies and rites of passage. This thesis demonstrates that many contemporary issues infuse and surround the Transit Zone. Immigration, national defence, international politics, logistics, social interaction and cultural fantasy all collide there. It explores the complexity of the Transit Zone’s paradoxical collection of sites and systems, which can not be reduced to one single reading. The Transit Zone has evolved, and continues to do so, in response to government and international demands, legal problems, technological advancements, logistical and commercial needs, and social changes. In doing so, its evolution redefines and articulates contemporary concerns. Additionally the thesis reveals an extensive artistic engagement with the Transit Zone and the contemporary concerns it articulates. Art is used as a designated imaginative space that challenges the established reality and the art works discussed change our understanding of the Transit Zone.

Texto completoResumen
This study argued that the issue of non-state actors requires a comprehensive response that includes the recognition of both non-binding and binding human rights obligations of these actors. It examined critically the emerging norms on voluntary obligations, state responsibility, and direct responsibility of these actors with regard to human rights at both international and domestic levels.

Texto completoResumen
Cette thèse présente trois études qui imaginent à nouveaux frais la définition et le rôle du droit international dans la réponse que l’on peut apporter aux menaces transnationales contre la santé et aux inégalités sociales. Le premier chapitre évalue les capacités qu’ont les lois internationales traditionnelles de promouvoir la santé mondiale, en étudiant en particulier quand et pourquoi des traités internationaux sur la santé peuvent être utiles. Une synthèse de 90 évaluations d’impact quantitatif de traités passés a été réalisée et un cadre analytique a été développé. Le deuxième chapitre s’appuie sur ce travail pour évaluer une large gamme de possibilités de travailler en vue d’une action mondiale collective portant sur la résistance aux antimicrobiens, dont celles qui impliquent la construction d’institutions, la conception d’incitations et la mobilisation d’intérêts. Ce chapitre soutient que leur impact sur le monde réel dépend de relations d’imputabilité fortes. Le troisième chapitre porte cette thèse au-delà des notions westphaliennes traditionnelles d’action collective en s’intéressant à la question de savoir si de nouvelles technologies perturbatrices peuvent théoriquement produire les mêmes effets de régulation sur les questions de santé au niveau mondial que des lois internationales négociées par les États. Dans un premier temps, ce chapitre présente un modèle relativement simple d’apprentissage automatique qui quantifie automatiquement la pertinence, la qualité scientifique et le sensationnalisme des articles et valide ce modèle à partir d’un corpus de 163 433 articles de presse mentionnant les pandémies récentes de SARS et de H1N1This dissertation presents three studies that reimagine the definition and role of international law to address transnational health threats and social inequalities. The first chapter assesses opportunities for traditional international laws to promote global health, specifically examining when and why global health treaties may be helpful. Evidence from 90 quantitative impact evaluations of past treaties was synthesized and an analytic framework was developed. The second chapter builds on this work by evaluating a broad range of opportunities for working towards global collective action on antimicrobial resistance, including those that involve building institutions, crafting incentives and mobilizing interests. This chapter argues that their real-world impact will depend on strong accountability relationships. The third chapter takes this dissertation beyond traditional Westphalian notions of collective action by exploring whether new disruptive technologies can theoretically provide the same global regulatory effects on health matters as state-negotiated international laws. As a first move, this chapter presents a relatively simple machine-learning model that automatically quantifies the relevance, scientific quality and sensationalism of news media records, and validates the model on a corpus of 163,433 news records mentioning the recent SARS and H1N1 pandemics

Papamichail, Andreas. "Structural violence and the paradox of humanitarian intervention". Thesis, University of St Andrews, 2018. http://hdl.handle.net/10023/13116.
Texto completoResumen
Humanitarian interventions tend to be justified by claims to the existence of an obligation upon ‘us' (the benevolent saviours) to intervene militarily when a state is responsible for large-scale atrocity crimes against its own population. However, this justification is paradoxical, given that there is rarely held to exist a commensurate obligation to address structural violence (even when ‘we' may be partly responsible for, or complicit within, structures that are violent). The paradox arises because structural violence can be harmful – even evil – in its own right, and can also lead to – or exacerbate – direct violence. Hence, intervening militarily, and inevitably causing further harm in the act of intervening, results in a moral shortfall. This shortfall is indicative of a prevailing understanding of harm that is blind to the potential for structures to be violent. In responding to the paradox, I adopt a critical cosmopolitan perspective to argue that because structural violence can be harmful on a great scale, and because it is co-constitutive of direct violence, we ought not to countenance intervening with the use of military force (with what this brings in the form of inevitable intended and unintended harm) to stop direct violence without also considering and addressing violent structures, especially if they are violent structures that we are, ourselves, embedded within. Therefore, it is morally imperative to engage in an ongoing process of illumination and addressing of evil structures to rectify the harms they cause, alongside any efforts to stem direct violence, if any sort of intervention is to be legitimate and just. This requires us to a) expand our understanding of harm and evil at the global level, and b) engage in consistent and sustained deliberative processes that bring to the forefront structural violence and structural underpinnings of direct violence.

Dupin, Coralie. "Les fusions transfrontalières de sociétés de capitaux dans l'Union européenne : aspects de droit social". Thesis, Paris 2, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013PA020006.
Texto completoResumen
Les fusions transfrontalières de sociétés de capitaux n’intéressent pas uniquement le droit des sociétés mais revêtent aussi d’importants aspects de droit social. Si la directive du 26 octobre 2005 facilite ces opérations, le renvoi aux législations nationales opéré soulève de nombreuses difficultés en l’absence de traitement harmonisé de leurs conséquences sociales. Les interrogations suscitées par la mise en oeuvre de la participation des travailleurs aux organes de gestion de la société issue de l’opération n’en sont qu’une illustration. D’autres questions relatives notamment au devenir des instances de représentation du personnel existant au sein des sociétés parties à la fusion, aux normes collectives ou aux contrats de travail, restent en suspens. A celles-ci et à d’autres, cette étude tente d’apporter des réponses. Les enjeux dont les fusions transfrontalières sont porteuses l’exigentCross-border mergers of incorporated companies do not only interest Company Law but also comprise important aspects of Labour & Employment Law. If the European Directive dated 26 October 2005 facilitates these transactions, the reference made to national legislation raises many difficulties in the absence of harmonized treatment of the social consequences of transactions. The questions raised by the implementation of workers' participation in management bodies of the company resulting from the transaction are an illustration. Other issues include the fate of employees’ representative bodies of existing staff within the merging companies, collective norms and employment contracts, remain unresolved. To these and others, this study attempts to provide answers. The consequences of the cross-border transactions require that answers be given to the unresolved issues

Saranovic, Filip. "Private international law aspects of freezing injunctions". Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2018. https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/270457.
Texto completoResumen
The Commercial Court in London is frequently dealing with applications for a freezing injunction. The vast majority of academic literature and court decisions directly or indirectly adopt the view that freezing injunctions have stood the test of time and are so frequently granted in commercial litigation that there is no need for any serious concern about their scope, let alone the need to identify and question the legitimacy of the justifications for their existence. Contrary to the traditional view, this thesis has identified equipage equality as the primary function of freezing injunctions. This recognition that freezing injunctions seek to establish a level-playing field in litigation has led the author to conclude that the current scope of the relief is excessively claimant-friendly and involves illegitimate interference with the sovereignty of foreign states. Taking into account the tactical reasons for seeking a freezing injunction, the author challenges the current interpretation of the substantive preconditions for granting the relief. Their current interpretation does not strike a fair balance between the interests of the parties. The author argues that these concerns are exacerbated by the current international scope of freezing injunctions due to the insufficient regard for the principles of public international law. The encroachment on the jurisdiction of foreign states undermines equipage equality by enabling claimants to make multiple applications for interim relief in respect of the same assets. In the light of the above, the author has sought to make a range of proposals to restrict the scope of freezing injunctions with the aim of bringing the relief in line with equipage equality.

Zoumpoulis, Christos. "Aspects juridiques et fiscaux de la mobilité des sociétés dans l’espace régional européen". Thesis, Paris 2, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016PA020028.
Texto completoResumen
La question de la mobilité des sociétés met principalement en cause deux ensembles normatifs étatiques. Tout d’abord, la société mobile rencontre en permanence la question des conflits de lois. Ainsi, la mobilité implique le passage par la question fondamentale de la reconnaissance, la mise en jeu des règles de conflit sur la loi applicable aux sociétés ainsi que, plus généralement, la nécessité de consulter en permanence toutes les règles délimitant la compétence normative de l’Etat en matière sociétaire, telles les règles de conflit (jurisprudentielles ou du droit positif) ou les lois de police susceptibles d’être mises en œuvre dans une opération de restructuration transfrontalière d’un groupe de sociétés ou dans une opération transfrontalière d’acquisition ou de prise de contrôle. Dans un second lieu, la mobilité met inéluctablement en jeu les règles formant les systèmes nationaux de fiscalité internationale des sociétés, à savoir les règles fiscales nationales ou internationales (émanant du droit fiscal interne ou des traités d’évitement de double imposition) applicables à des situations relevant des activités internationales des sociétés. Ces deux aspects de la question de la mobilité intra-communautaire des sociétés ne peuvent pas être traités indépendamment l'une de l'autre, puisque les deux corps de règles (règles de conflit et règles de compétence fiscale) obéissent plus ou moins aux mêmes impératifs hiérarchiquement supérieurs de nature politique, économique et sociale et, par conséquent, ils sont interdépendants. En outre, l’étude de leur évolution historique durant la période qui s’étend du début du XIXe siècle jusqu’à nos jours au sein des ordres juridiques analysés (français, anglais, allemand, belge) démontre qu'ils se sont réciproquement influencées pour atteindre leur état actuel. Au travers d’une analyse interdisciplinaire, nous mettons l'accent, dans une première partie, sur les points d'intersection des deux corps de règles afin d'exposer la mécanique complexe de la mobilité internationale des sociétés et afin de mettre en exergue les considérations juridiques et fiscales qui dominent la matière. Cela dit, les systèmes nationaux de fiscalité internationale et les systèmes nationaux de droit international des sociétés sont aujourd’hui en pleine transformation sous l’emprise du droit communautaire qui se veut un méta-ordre d’organisation des comportements des gouvernements nationaux et des agents économiques selon et vers un modèle nouveau de régulation du marché de nature à rendre la création d’un Marché unique au sein de l’UE possible. Dans la seconde partie de notre étude, nous explorons l’impact du droit dérivé et de la jurisprudence de la CJUE -qui agissent conjointement afin d’atteindre cet objectif- sur ces deux ensembles normatifs nationaux, afin de conclure que toutes les évolutions récentes et anticipées en matière de mobilité des sociétés, tant au niveau national qu’au niveau communautaire, s’inscrivent dans le contexte de l’évolution globale du processus de transition des ordres juridiques nationaux d’un modèle capitaliste traditionnel de régulation du marché inspiré par les travaux de M. Keynes à un modèle néo-libéral, accélérée par la pression de la vague contemporaine de la mondialisation économique. En se situant dans une perspective historique et interdisciplinaire de la question de la mobilité intra-communautaire des sociétés, nous nous efforçons d’en cerner les tendances et les configurations ainsi que d’en faire l’état des lieux des progrès effectués depuis le XIXe siècleCross-border company mobility principally involves two main sets of State norms. Firstly, mobile companies continuously encounter conflict of laws questions. Therefore, mobility implies a necessary passage from the fundamental question of recognition of foreign companies, the application of conflict of laws rules determining the lex societatis and, more generally, the consultation of all the rules delineating the normative jurisdiction of the State in corporate matters, namely the conflict of laws rules (whether they stem from positive law or from judicial precedents) or the mandatory rules (lois de police) likely to be implemented in cross-border M&As, reorganizations and take-overs. Secondly, company mobility brings inevitably into play the national or international tax rules which constitute the national systems of international taxation of companies, namely tax rules emanating either from national tax legislation or from international treaties on avoidance of double taxation. These two aspects of the matter of company cross-border mobility shall not be examined separately, given that the formation of conflict of laws rules and tax jurisdiction rules that delineate a state’s tax jurisdiction depends on each State’s hierarchically superior imperatives of a political, economic and social nature, these two body of rules being, therefore, interdependent. The study of their historical evolution within the legal systems examined in our thesis (French, English, German and Belgian) from the early 19th century to date, demonstrates that their current state constitutes the result of their mutual influence. Through an interdisciplinary analysis, we emphasize, in the first part of our thesis, on the crossing points of these two sets of rules in order to explain the complex mechanics of cross-border mobility of companies and point out the legal and tax considerations that dominate the matter. We further explore their transformation by EU law which is intended as a meta-order aimed at orchestrating national government and economic agents’ behaviors according to and towards a new model of market regulation susceptible to the creation of a European single market. The second part of our thesis is dedicated to the study of the impact of secondary EU legislation and European Court of Justice jurisprudence –that act jointly to achieve the European single market objective- on the aforementioned bodies of national rules, that leads to the conclusion that the recent and anticipated developments on the mobility of companies within the EU both on national and European level, fall within the broader framework of the overall development of the transition process of national legal orders from a traditional capitalist model of market regulation inspired by the theories of M. Keynes towards a neo-liberal model which is accelerated by the pressure of the contemporary trend of economic globalization. Addressing the subject of cross-border mobility of companies within the EU both from a historical and an interdisciplinary perspective, we endeavor to identify trends and patterns and to assess the progress achieved since the early 19th century

Texto completoResumen
This dissertation attempts to provide a theoretical framework for explaining the choices made by international decisions-makers as to what constitutes law. It is proposed that the practice of international human rights courts recognises that different normative instruments coexist in an un-ordered space, and that meaning can be produced by the free interaction of those instruments around a problem. Based on such practice, the author advances his normative plurality hypothesis, which states that decision-makers must survey the acquis of international law in order to identify all the instruments containing relevant normative information for a particular situation. The set of rules of law applicable to the situation must then be complemented with other instruments containing specific normative information relevant to the situation, resulting in a complete system of norms advancing a common purpose.Cette thèse vise à fournir un cadre théorique pour expliquer les choix effectués par les décideurs internationaux sur ce qui constitue la loi. Il est proposé que la pratique des tribunaux internationaux des droits de l'homme reconnaît que différents instruments normatifs coexistent dans un espace non-ordonné, et que le sens peut être produit par le libre jeu de ces instruments autour d'un problème. Sur la base de cette pratique, l'auteur avance son hypothèse de la pluralité normative qui stipule que les décideurs doivent étudier l'acquis du droit international afin d'identifier tous les instruments contenant des informations normatives pertinents pour une situation particulière. L'ensemble des règles de droit applicables à la situation doit ensuite être complété par d'autres instruments contenant des informations normatives spécifiques relatives à la situation, résultant en un système complet de normes avançant un objectif commun.

Texto completoResumen
Depuis la signature de l'Accord sur les aspects de droit de propriété intellectuelle touchant au commerce (ADPIC), les membres de l'OMC doivent prévoir les moyens juridiques de protection des indications géographiques définies comme des indications identifiant un produit dont une qualité, réputation ou autre caractéristique déterminée peut être attribuée essentiellement à son origine géographique. Ainsi l'Inde, pays émergent à l'histoire ancienne, doté de nombreux produits d'origine, a mis en place un cadre juridique sui generis pour la protection des indications géographiques qui éclaire d'un jour nouveau le concept de lien entre un produit et son origine formalisé en France au début du 20ème siècle avec l'appellation d'origine puis étendu au niveau européen en 1992. La thèse montre premièrement comment l'Inde, pays de l'Ancien monde comme la France, utilise activement le droit des indications géographiques pour protéger les produits de l'artisanat et les variétés anciennes, reflets de son identité culturelle, en réponse aux menaces de la mondialisation. L'expérience indienne questionne le droit français et européen quant à la prise en compte des savoir-faire traditionnels en l'absence de facteurs naturels pour justifier l'ancrage au lieu, tout en confirmant l'intérêt des indications géographiques pour protéger la diversité des variétés végétales. Deuxièmement, le rôle omniprésent de l'Etat en Inde dans la protection des indications géographiques contraste avec le retrait de l'intervention des pouvoirs publics en France lié au contexte de libéralisation économique. L'intervention du gouvernement indien qui aboutit à l'enregistrement d'indications géographiques au nom de l'Etat se justifie par la défense des producteurs défavorisés, et la nécessité de préserver les produits de l'identité indienne. Le modèle indien de dualité des sujets de droit entre le propriétaire des indications géographiques, qui s'avère être directement ou indirectement l'Etat, et les utilisateurs des indications géographiques qui doivent être enregistrés auprès de l'Office compétent interroge la nature juridique de l'indication géographique, que ce soit son caractère collectif ou sa dimension de droit public. Nous défendons l'idée que l'indication géographique doit être qualifiée de droit d'usage, le principe de propriété devant être rejeté.

Private international law divides the world into territories, each with its own court system and laws. The internet presents challenges to this neat division. It is difficult to identify where an activity takes place on the internet. Wrongs on the internet leave many questions unanswered in transnational litigation. This paper addresses the private international law aspects of cross-border civil wrongs on the internet. Chapter A introduces the internet, and aims to simplify the technical issues. Chapter B asks which court has jurisdiction in a case of wrongs on the internet. The focus is on two sets of rules commonly applied around the globe: the service abroad provisions and the special jurisdiction provisions. The chapter aims to advance general principles applicable in cases of cross-border wrongs committed on the internet, as to the place where a wrong is committed, and the place where damage is suffered. The issue whether a court can grant an injunction against a foreign defendant in respect of foreign conduct is also explored. The exercise of jurisdiction under the service abroad provisions is discretionary. Chapter C examines the forum (non) conveniens discretion in the context of wrongs on the internet. It concludes that, of the US jurisdictional principles developed in internet cases, the sliding scale test should be treated with caution, but the effects test (targeting) should be a factor that is taken into account, in exercising the discretion. Chapter D asks which law applies to a wrong on the internet, concentrating on the divergent choice of law rules in tort in Australia, Canada, the UK and those proposed in the EU. The two chapters that follow consider wrongs to which the internet environment is particularly susceptible, and which deserve separate treatment: intellectual property infringements (Chapter E) and defamation (Chapter F). The final topic, recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments relating to wrongs on the internet, is the subject of Chapter G. The paper rejects the suggestions that new rules should be developed for wrongs on the internet, and concludes that the existing private international law rules are largely workable in the internet context, but require some flexibility in order to be adaptable.

Texto completoResumen
ABSTRACT Based on a new conception of airports, and recognizing the airport's preeminent role in strengthening a region's economy, this thesis centers on the positive and negative aspects of privatizing international airports. The core case study for the investigation is Eldorado International Airport, serving the city of Bogotá and port of entrance to the South American continent. It concludes that privatization of international airports has grown to be the best means by which large-scale aviation infrastructure projects are to be realized if airports are to not only attend rising traffic demand, but also as private enterprises that deliver users quality air transport services, and focal points of regional and national development facilitating a country's competition in world markets. In the case of Colombia, considerations and recommendations on specific matters that deserve special attention for the correct development of concession contracts are also indicated throughout the text.RÉSUMÉ Sur la base d'une nouvelle conception de l'aéroport, et tout en lui reconnaissant un rôle prépondérant dans l'économie de la région qu'il dessert, l'auteur examine les aspects positifs et négatifs de la privatisation des aéroports internationaux. L'étude de cas porte sur l'Aéroport international Eldorado qui dessert la ville de Bogotá et sert de port d'entrée du continent sud-américain. L'auteur conclut que la privatisation est le meilleur moyen de réaliser les projets d'infrastructure aéronautique à grande échelle. La privatisation permet aux aéroports de répondre aux exigences du trafic sans cesse croissant, d'offrir un service de qualité aux utilisateurs et de servir de point de mire dans les projets de développement régional et national conçus pour permettre aux pays de faire face à la concurrence mondiale. Dans le cas de la Colombie, l'auteur formule des recommandations spécifiques en vue de favoriser le bon développement des contrats de concession.

Texto completoResumen
The new ICAO CNS/ATM (Communication, Navigation, Surveillance/Air Traffic Management) concept, based on satellite use, entails globalisation of these new air navigation systems.Concerning the communications, the concept's architecture includes those for security as well as administrative communications of airlines and public correspondence of passengers.
From this point of view, the requested globalisation will lead to regulatory and institutional changes, especially for non-security communications as they are regulated by each State overflown, according to Article 30 of the Chicago Convention.
Every legal solution, of course, must take into account the chosen technology. In this domain, the experience of INMARSAT, with the mobile maritime communications by satellites, will be of tremendous importance.
A period of transition, with regional initiatives, will be necessary too before the general implementation of the CNS/ATM concept.

Texto completoResumen
"The implementation of the TRIPS Agreement, within the wider context of globalisation, has brought about a conflict between the obligation of states to promote and protect health and the achievement of economic goals pursued under the WTO regime. Since trade is the driving engine of globalisation, it is imperative that, at the very least, rules governing it do not violate human rights but rather promote them. The problem of IP and the right to health therefore lies in ensuring that the integration of economic rules and institutional operations in relation to IPRs coincide with states’ obligations to promote and protect public health. ...
This study centres on the specific debate about health and IPRs in the context of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) and the WTO rules on IP protection. In terms of a human rights approach to the TRIPS Agreement, the ICESCR has been chosen for several reasons. First, the ICESCR specifically recognises both the right to health and the right to the protection of inventions in clearer terms than any other human rights instrument. Secondly, at least 111 of the state parties to the ICESCR are also members of the WTO including a large number of developing countries. Thirdly, if one sees the ICESCR as a vehicle for the fulfilment of the obligation to promote and protect human rights under the United Nations Organisation’s (UN) Charter, it can be argued that in line with article 103, the implementation and interpretation of TRIPS by all UN members states must take into account basic human rights. However, even with primary focus being on the ICESCR, most of the discussion on practical issues will focus on the experiences in Sub-Saharan Africa because the inequalities and problems of access to health care are most dramatically played out in this part of the world.
The objective of the study is to examine the relationship between the obligation of states to progressively realise and guarantee the right to health, and the IP rules under the TRIPS Agreement. The specific objective is to examine the relationship between the exceptions under the TRIPS Agreement and the obligation to protect health and the identification of a consistent way of achieving a convergence between the implementation and interpretation of the rules of the two regimes in the area of health." -- Chapter 1Mini Dissertation (LLM)--University of Pretoria, 2001.

L'évolution rapide et les bouleversements successifs sont des traits caractéristiques du transport international aérien. Près de soixante-dix ans après la signature de la Convention de Chicago relative à l'aviation civile internationale, un constat s'impose : l'importance économique du transport aérien a considérablement augmenté. Qu'il s'agisse de transporter des marchandises, au soutien du commerce international, ou des individus, de plus en plus nombreux à avoir accès à ce mode de transport, une véritable prise de conscience de la part des Etats a révolutionné les paradigmes traditionnels du droit aérien ; ce dernier, initialement tourné vers les aspects de sécurité et sûreté des transports, ne peux plus délaisser la dimension économique du secteur. Parallèlement, la société internationale a connu un phénomène de complexification croissante. Cette évolution ne résulte pas seulement de l'apparition progressive, dans la période d'après guerre froide, d'un monde multipolaire, mais également d'un développement matériel du droit international aujourd'hui divisé en de multiples régimes juridiques indépendants aux légitimités politiques et juridiques égales. Ainsi a-t-on assisté au développement d'un droit international de l'environnement, d'un droit international du commerce, ou encore d'un droit international du développement. La présente étude a pour objet l'étude de l'évolution du droit international du transport aérien, historiquement associé à l'Organisation de l'Aviation Civile Internationale (OACI) et « ses » diverses conventions internationales, dans le contexte de la fragmentation du droit international. A travers cette démarche, l'évolution factuelle et juridique du droit associé au système de l'OACI sera mis en perspective dans ses rapprochement au système traditionnellement associé à la libéralisation du commerce international, celui de l'Organisation Mondiale du Commerce (OMC). Sera notamment souligné la « crise identitaire » actuellement traversée par le droit du transport aérien et les diverses pistes qui pourraient être explorées par les Etats pour favoriser le développement harmonieux du transport international aérien.Fast evolution and successive dislocations are well known attributes of international air transportation. Nearly seventy years after the Chicago Convention has been signed, one must acknowledge the economic importance of international transportation has grown considerably. Focusing both on transportation of goods, supporting the development of international trade, and transportation of individuals, whose access to air transportation has constantly grown, States and their governments began to modernize, and thereby revolutionize air law's traditional paradigms; air law, initially focusing exclusively on safety and security aspects of transportation, must now integrate the economical dimensions of air transportation. At the same time, international society has become more and more complex in two different ways: firstly, in the Post-Cold War Area, a multi-polarized world began to emerge. Secondly, material developments of international law have resulted in the apparition of numerous independent legal systems of the same value such as environmental international law, international trade law or international development law. The main purpose of the following thesis is to study the recent evolutions of international air transportation law, historically based on the creation and development of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and associated international conventions, within the framework of the fragmentation of international law. Through this study, both the legal and factual evolutions of IACO Law will be addressed in the perspective of its joined application with the World trade Organization (WTO) law. Particular attention will be given to the question of an "identity crisis" the air transportation law is said to suffer from, and to the different ways of thoughts that could be followed to support a healthy economic development on international air transportation.

La coopération internationale est inscrite sur l'acte constitutif de l'Organisation des Nations Unies du 26 juin 1945. Moyen d'échange et de dialogue entre acteurs internationaux, son objectif a été de trouver des solutions aux difficultés économiques, sociales, culturelles et sécuritaires de l'après-guerre pour sauvegarder la paix du monde. Elle s'est considérablement développée, allant de la forme bilatérale à celle multilatérale, dans tous les domaines et sur tous les continents. Parmi ses nombreux cadres d'échanges, le dispositif français de coopération, avec son assistance technique spécialisée dans tous les domaines, demeure une référence certaine. Il s'est déployé à travers une stratégie de géopolitique internationale où domaines militaire en plus grand et sportif en plus petit en constituent un des traits caractéristiques. La coopération française et internationale ont été un accompagnement décisif pour le continent africain après les indépendances, mais aussi un important moyen stratégique d'influence pendant la Guerre Froide. Le sport et la coopération sportive y joueront leur partition. Pour les Américains, Français, Anglais, Soviétiques et leurs partenaires respectifs, la coopération a été très efficace et a permis de sauvegarder leurs intérêts sur le continent africain. Elle demeure encore aujourd'hui un important moyen de pression sur la scène africaine, influant souvent sur les résultats des échanges et l'efficacité des actions de coopération. Finalement, c'est une coopération internationale de 1960 à 2010, avec ses réussites et ses échecs, d'une taille parfois limitée mais qui reste un moyen de dialogue pour le monde et surtout pour le continent africain engagé sur le difficile chemin de la démocratie. C'est par une approche théorique libérale et une méthode qualitative que cette recherche a été réalisée, sur le principal terrain du Burkina Faso avec ses particularités sociales et son histoire, qui constituent une grille de lecture idéale.

Texto completoResumen
With the advancement of intermediated systems coupled with the rapid development of information technology, securities holding patterns have drastically changed from direct holdings to intermediated holdings, which facilitated the explosive increase of securities transactions during the last half century. In intermediated systems, traditional functions of securities certificates have faded away and intermediated securities credited to securities account books play a key role in determining proprietary issues. In spite of the innovative development of intermediated systems, legal regimes for the systems have not kept up with the development of the systems. Specifically, there has been much legal hindrance in cross-border securities transactions. In this regard, this thesis first attempts to research substantive laws for intermediated systems in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan and Korea. The Unidroit draft convention on intermediated securities is also discussed as neutral fact-centred international substantive rules. In the substantive law analysis, this thesis suggests preparing new rules that are internally sound and internationally compatible, friendly to users and markets, and readily accessible clear, intuitive rules which satisfy basic legal needs of intermediated securities holders and ensure market efficiency and stability. In the private international law analysis, this thesis finds the traditional lex rei sitae (or the lex situs), which calls for application of the law of the place where securities are located, is no longer a proper connecting factor in proprietary issues of an intermediated securities disposition, given that the location of securities has no meaningful function in intermediated systems. The Hague Securities Convention, which refers to the PRIMA (Place of Relevant InterMediary Approach) that localises an intermediary, went beyond the PRIMA and selected its primary rule in an account agreement between an account holdAvec l'avancement des systèmes d'intermédiaires et les développements technologiques récents, les modèles de détentions des titres d'investissement ont changé dramatiquement au cours des cinquante dernières années. ce qui a facilité l'expansion accrue des transactions. Dans les systèmes intermédiés, la fonction traditionnelle des titres certifiées est en train de se dégrader, et ainsi les titres intermédiés crédités aux livrets de comptes sécuritaires jouent un rôle important dans la détermination des droits de propriété et des droits prioritaires. Malgré les innovations des systèmes d'intermédiaires, les régiments juridiques applicables à ces systèmes n'ont pas évolués au même rythme. Ceci affecte particulièrement les opérations transfrontalières. Cette thèse débute donc avec un examen du droit matériel applicable aux systèmes intermédiés aux États-Unis, au Royaume-Uni, au Canada, au Japon et en Corée. Le projet de convention d'Unidroit sur les systèmes intermédiés est aussi considéré comme option neutre et centrée sur la dimension factuelle des transactions. Suite à cette analyse du droit matériel, cette thèse recommande l'adoption de nouvelles règles basées sur des fondements juridiques solides et compatibles avec la dimension transfrontalière des échanges; ces règles cherchent à être simples et accessibles, utiles aux usagers et à augmenter la prévisibilité tout en assurant la stabilité et l'efficacité des marchés. Passant ensuite à l'analyse du droit international privé, cette thèse rejette la règle de conflit traditionnelle de la lex rei sitae (ou la lex situs), qui n'est plus adéquate pour régler les problèmes liées à la propriété en matière de disposition des titres intermédiés, puisque la localisation concrètes des titres n'a plus de fonction significative dans les systèmes intermédiés.

Texto completoResumen
The last decade has witnessed the development of a private launch industry. Under international space law, in particular the Outer Space Treaty of 1967, States shall supervise and authorize the activities of their nationals, including private launch companies, in Outer Space. In the United States, a substantial set of regulations has been elaborated to exercise this control over the activities of the private launch industry. This thesis analyzes, in a first chapter, the evolution which led to these regulations. The Commercial Space Launch Act of 1984 and the subsequent regulations issued by the Office of Commercial Space Transportation, regarding the licensing process are dealt with in the second chapter. The third chapter examines the most important practical legal issue relating to private launch services, namely liability and insurance.

Not only usual goods are carried: some of a particular nature need particular regulations. The transportation of dangerous goods regulated by specific international rules is a good illustration while the example of artworks carried to be exposed in temporary exhibitions is less famous. Their material protection is insured by museum professionals and specialized carriers. Their legal protection is insured on two levels: on one side, detailed customs procedures are set up to regulate their movement; moreover, specific contractual rules have been created by professionals, but they do apply international conventions relative to international carriers liability. On the other side, one usually chooses specific insurance policy called "a nail to nail" contract. Confidentiality and mutual trust are the keystone to gain success in matter of transportation of artworks.

Carter, David John. "International law and state failure : Somalia and Yugoslavia". Thesis, University of Southampton, 2000. https://eprints.soton.ac.uk/193199/.
Texto completoResumen
The present study considers the treatment of failed States in international law. State failure represents a relatively recent phenomenon, which presents novel problems for the international community to deal with. For international law, the principles and experience of dealing with the creation, continuity and extinction of States present the nearest analogies, and so will form the basis of its responses to failure. Failure is defined as governmental and societal collapse in a State, so severe as to render it incapable of exercising internal and external sovereignty. It is likely to take the form of either conflictual implosion - such as in Somalia; or fragmentary explosion - as in Yugoslav ia. Accordingly, an examination of the treatment of these two failed States, during the early 1990s, provides the substantive basis of the study. The key aspects of Statehood under which the study proceeds are: loss of government as a criterion of Statehood; self-determination, including the emerging right of democratic governance; and recognition. Consideration of the Somali and Yugoslav experiences of failure, and their treatment under the three areas identified, evidences a strong inertia in the international system against findings of State failure - the Somali experience. The only exception is if such a finding is coupled with a potential solution, such as the possible emergence of new States - the Yugoslav experience. The determinations constitute a meta-legal process, which can be seen as indicative of a new conception of 'political international law'.

Eshghi, Siavash. "International law, cyberspace and social movements : a critical interjection". Thesis, SOAS, University of London, 2015. http://eprints.soas.ac.uk/20377/.
Texto completoResumen
The 'international' has for long been imbued with dreams of emancipation, unity and sociality beyond the boundaries of the 'national'. However, despite its centrality, little critical reflection has been directed at the 'international' within the discourse of international law. Specifically, the socio-spatial fabric of this concept/category is rarely discussed. This thesis seeks to theoretically disrupt and problematise this disciplinary comfort zone by highlighting the non-territorial socio-spatiality of cyberspace. Arguing for a fundamental re-conceptualisation of the 'international', this thesis develops on the basis of a re-reading of two modes of analysis, namely logos and nomos. While the former is associated with a territorial configuration of socio-spatiality, the latter is thought as a lived and co-produced understanding of law, space and society. The thesis proceeds with offering cyberspace as an instance of non-territorial and internationally experienced socio-spatiality (nomos), which fundamentally differs from how it is currently conceptualised under international law (logos). The thesis proceeds with an exploration of international law's socio-spatial fabric, arguing for a fundamental re-thinking, from a predominantly territorial configuration (logos), to a non-territorial and lived account of the 'international' (nomos). The thesis is further illustrated through a critical reflection on the social movements and international law literature, arguing that nomos is the right mode of analysis for international law, in a world where normative claims and emancipatory dreams are increasingly woven into the non-territorial fabric of everyday life.

Texto completoResumen
This thesis broadly seeks to present some relevant legal aspects concerning Flight Information Regions (FIRs) and to analyze State responsibility vis-a-vis FIRs, as well as liability incurred by States on account of acts and omissions while discharging their responsibilities.The first part of this thesis is a presentation of the international rules and regulations applicable to FIRs, their legal implications and the extent to which they create obligations for States.
Some relevant problems (accidents, airspace congestion, unlawful interference) likely to present an additional challenge for the discharge of responsibilities with regard to FIRs are also considered.
Settlement of differences between States deserves special attention and is discussed in the light of the judicial machinery provided under the Chicago Convention 1944.
Finally, the liability of States is analyzed and the need for a strict liability regime and a policy of risk management is considered.

Texto completoResumen
The laws and regulations governing certification of aviation personnel constitute one of the essential elements of aviation legislation. They have a significant effect upon the global safety of the civil air transportation system.This dissertation aims at describing the existing regulations in the field of pilot licensing. Its scope is narrowed down to the highest category of licence applicable to professional pilots and known as the airline transport pilot licence. The thesis depicts and analyses the process of creation and the contents of licensing standards and recommended practices as developed by various ICAO bodies and incorporated in Annex 1 to the Chicago Convention.
The survey of pilot licensing system currently in force in Canada provides the example of domestic legislation applicable in this respect. It is performed with the aim of exploring the compatibility of Canadian law with the global legal requirements as prescribed in Annex 1 and other supporting ICAO documentation.

By the early 21st Century further amendment to the Constitution has been necessitated by Ireland’s membership of the European Union, which has involved the cession of a degree of sovereignty and the subordination of national law to European law. A significant amendment was effected pursuant to the Good Friday Agreement, when Ireland removed its territorial claim to Northern Ireland and replaced it with the principle of unity by consent.Today’s Irish law due to the pandemic conditions of its development is on
the way to its own improvement to regulate social relations effectively and protect the interests of their participants.

Texto completoResumen
Lease, charter and interchange have become more and more important throughout the last decades. The International Civil Aviation Organization could not ignore that reality. In 1980 after a long preparatory work Article 83bis, an amendment to the Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation was adopted by the 23rd Assembly without any negative votes. Yet, in 1990, this amendment, which enables the State of Registry, which is responsible for the operation of the aircraft even if flying with an operator of another state, to transfer its functions and duties to the State of the Operator.This thesis takes a closer look on the history of that amendment. The reasons why Article 83bis is still not in force shall also be discussed. An attempt shall further be made to analyze the provisions of Article 83bis more thoroughly and to explain why states should no longer hesitate to ratify that amendment. Article 83bis has no controversial content and is very important for the safety of international air transportation, in establishing clearly who is responsible for a leased, chartered or interchanged aircraft.

Texto completoResumen
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 73-78).Social security is an expression of social solidarity and an attempt to curb the ills of exclusion and poverty. The welfare state was premised on this very ideal of social solidarity. As a result of the changed and changing times, the welfare state which has now come to be known as social security is under siege by several forces unique to individual states. For this reason, social security is an area of rich diversity and the challenges facing social security are not homogenous. Whereas for rich and industrialized countries social security is very meaningful, for most of Sub Saharan Africa it is an abstract and relatively novel concept. The Universal Declaration for the Rights of man, to which every country should aspire and to which most, if not all, constitutions are modeled provides for the right to social security. Whereas the declaration implies that social security is an inalienable right, the definition of social security or 'western notion of social security' adopted by most countries with a semblance of social security eliminates the vast majority of people namely; those in the informal sector, the poor and those in the rural areas. Studies of social security advance the theory-that the conventional definition of social security is not adequate for the African continent because formal social security schemes were introduced in Africa during the colonial era as a response to the social security needs of expatriate white workers. In Uganda, formal social security caters for less than 20 per cent of the population leaving the rest to harness any other means possible to maintain subsistence and a level of sanity. The needs envisaged by traditional formal social security are not the needs an ordinary Ugandan today faces. As a result of this disparity, there has been and there continues to be out cries to reform a system that government has been reluctant to change much because of the multi-faceted and overwhelming social demands. The cliché that 'a drowning man clutches at a straw' could not be put better: Africans do not give up; we simply make the most of what we have.

Texto completoResumen
Selected issues in the Scots international private law of sale, securities and insolvency are considered, with a view to establishing a tentative general theory of choice of law relative thereto, which could in turn be applied to further issues in the Scots international private law of property and that of other legal systems. The traditional analytical distinction between real and personal rights is applied in a specialised concrete manner in order to ascertain by each consecutive lex situs the real rights which have been created and extinguished in a given item of property. In a situation in which it becomes necessary to rank several rights in and to such an item of property, all extant rights therein and thereto are compared and evaluated relative to each other in accordance with the lex situs at that time, having been 'translated' for such purposes. This simple structure derives from the requirements of third party certainty in property law. The basic choice of law structure is qualified in situations in which it is appropriate to do so, without detracting significantly from requirements of third party certainty. Thus, for example, property issues arising between the parties to transactions are characterised in personal terms and subsidiary choice of law rules are suggested regarding 'mobile' property and in situations such as import transactions and in which several rights derive from the same legal system, concerning all of which the straightforward lex situs rule appears inappropriate. Such subsidiary rules preserve third party certainty by operating after initial permissive reference to the lex situs. Similar rules provide for coherent analysis of funds in an international context, and, in particular, funds arising on insolvency.

Abstract The process of globalization is changing the world's economic structure as economic borders between countries are being diminished in favour of the creation of a new global market. It seems though that, at least at some fields, this process lacks international thinking. Competition regulation is an example of a field in which international thinking is currently lacking. This paper focuses on the deficiencies that the lack of competition policy creates for international trade, and the obstacles to the acceptance of a competition policy. This paper also examines structural and legislative issues with regard to international competition policy. In this paper, the author aspires to provide a pragmatic breakthrough for this deadlocked situation. Thus several suggestions are proposed on both the legislative and the judicial levels.RésuméLe phénomène de la globalisation occasionne une transformation de la structure économique mondiale en cette ère où les frontières entre les pays sont abolies en faveur de la création d'un nouveau marché global. Il semble cependant, a tout le moins sous certains aspects, que ce processus souffre d'un manque de réflexion à l'échelle internationale. L'encadrement légal de la concurrence constitue l'un de ces aspects.Cette thèse s'intéresse aux carences que l'absence d'une politique de réglementation de la concurrence occasionne sur le marché international ainsi qu'aux obstacles à franchir pour la mise en place d'une telle réglementation. Les questions structurelles et législatives à l'égard de la politique de concurrence internationale seront également étudiées. L'auteur aspire à fournir une solution pragmatique à cette impasse. Aussi, plusieurs solutions seront proposées aussi bien sur le plan législatif que sur le plan judiciaire.

Texto completoResumen
In recent decades, the nature of international commercial arbitration has been transformed from a method of dispute resolution to an autonomous legal system. Globalization and a shift of power from states to private actors have resulted in the emergence of an international arbitration community that eventually produced this kind of transition. This movement has generated a dynamic discussion over the legality and systematicity of the arbitral legal system. By applying various legal theories, scholars of different legal systems have analyzed the legality of the arbitral legal system. A few scholars have advocated the concept of this system based on a transnational legal positivism theory. In contrast, others, because of a lack of essential qualities of law and structural deficiencies in international arbitration, refuse to recognize it as an autonomous legal system. The main objective of the present work is to study the major legal theories about the legality and systematicity of international commercial arbitration, and then to take an overview of the adverse and advantageous consequences of applying the concept of the arbitral legal system.Au cours des dernières décennies, l'arbitrage commercial international a subi de grandes transformations : longtemps utilisé comme simple méthode de résolution des différends internationaux, il est en voie de devenir un système de droit autonome. Avec la globalisation des échanges et des activités humaines et la décentralisation du pouvoir des États vers des acteurs privés, une nouvelle catégorie d'arbitres internationaux a fait son apparition, de nouveaux arbitres qui deviennent à leur tour des agents de changement. La pluralité de leurs opinions a poussé ces nouveaux acteurs à se questionner sur la viabilité à long terme de la mise en place d'un nouvel ordre juridique arbitral. Diverses théories juridiques mises de l'avant par des experts issus de différents domaines du droit ont permis d'en étudier la légalité et la systématicité. Ce nouvel ordre juridique a ses défenseurs et ses détracteurs. Certains le défendent en invoquant la théorie positiviste du droit basée sur les règles de droit transnationales. D'autres refusent de le considérer comme un système autonome parce certaines règles de droit essentielles n'y sont pas définies et qu'il existe des lacunes structurelles flagrantes en arbitrage international. Ce sont là quelques-unes des grandes questions qui seront débattues dans le présent ouvrage. L'auteur y fera d'abord l'analyse des principaux courants théoriques traitant de la légitimité et de la systématicité de l'arbitrage commercial international et de la mise en place d'un régime juridique dans ce domaine, pour se concentrer ensuite sur les avantages et les désavantages que sa reconnaissance en tant que système de droit autonome pourrait représenter.

Texto completoResumen
In 1986, Quebec adopted the Act to amend the Civil Code and the Code of Civil Procedure in respect of Arbitration and thereby established a new and modern regime for contractual arbitration. The new regime includes provisions to facilitate execution in Quebec of arbitral awards rendered outside the province.This thesis deals with certain aspects of the new regime, comparing it with the well-established French law of arbitration, which has abundant caselaw covering both domestic and international arbitration. Emphasis is placed on the manner in which Quebec courts have applied the new arbitration law in comparison with French judicial practice.
The first part of the thesis deals with domestic arbitration, focussing on contractual and jurisdictional issues. This is done through an examination of the arbitration agreement, the arbitration procedure, the award, as well as the execution of the award and remedies to set it aside.
International arbitration is treated in the second part. The definition of international arbitration, the validity and autonomy of the arbitration agreement, the choice of law relating to the procedure and the dispute itself are reviewed, as is the execution of foreign awards--that is, those rendered outside Quebec or rendered in Quebec but in the context of an international dispute.
