These Recommendations have been developed by the United Nations
Economic and Social Council's Committee of Experts on the Transport
of Dangerous Goods in the light of technical progress, the advent
of new substances and materials, the exigencies of modern transport
systems and, above all, the requirement to ensure the safety of
people, property and the environment. They are addressed to
governments and international organizations concerned with the
regulation of the transport of dangerous goods. They do not apply
to the bulk transport of dangerous goods in sea-going or inland
navigation bulk carriers or tank-vessels, which is subject to
special international or national regulations.
This publication outlines key steps to launching the national
single window platform in Maldives. The Asian Development Bank, as
part of the South Asia Subregional Economic Cooperation program, is
helping Maldives implement a national single window environment for
international trade, which will facilitate communication between
the public and private sectors, and improve ease of doing business.
Maldives is a geographically dispersed island nation with a blue
economy. Establishing seamless communication between cross-border
regulatory agencies, traders, and government ministries can reduce
the time and cost of importing and exporting goods, and strengthen
the business environment.
This book embarks on a discussion of rulemaking in air transport,
its processes and legalities, starting with a deconstruction of
work carried out at the time of writing in various fields of air
transport by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)
which should be at the apex of rulemaking. This initial discussion,
which demonstrates the weakness of rulemaking in the air transport
field for lack of direction, purpose and structure in the
development of authoritative rules and regulations that should
serve as compelling directives from the main organization
responsible for aviation, leads to an evaluation of the fundamental
principles of rulemaking in ICAO, the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) of the United States and the European
Commission (EC).
This book examines the changes in the governance of human
expression as a result of the development of the Internet. It tells
the story of the emergence of a global regime that almost
completely lacks institutions, and develops a concept of
'expression governance' that focusses on the governance practices
of key actors in Europe and North America. The book illuminates the
increased disciplinary capacity of the Internet infrastructure that
has become apparent to the public following Edward Snowden's leaks
in 2013, and provides a theoretical frame within which such changes
can be understood. It argues that the Internet has developed a
'global default' of permissible speech that exists pervasively
across the globe but beyond the control of any one actor. It then
demonstrates why the emergence of such a 'global default' of speech
is crucial to global conflict in the international relations of the
Internet. The book concludes with an elaboration of the regulatory
practices and theatrical performances that enable a global regime
as well as the three key narratives that are embedded within it.
In many respects cyberspace has created a new world. The online
phenomena encompass social, cultural, economic, and legal facets.
Exceeding the present Internet Governance concept the book analyses
the normative foundations and guiding principles of a global
cyberspace regime that includes the exchange of people, businesses,
governments, and other entities. Based on this assessment and
philosophical theories the book attempts to outline a model for a
general legal framework enshrining key principles of civil society
(such as human rights, ethics). The proposed global framework, not
in the form of a multilateral treaty but a morally convincing
declaration, could then be complemented by additional polycentric
regulations with binding effect, developed on the basis of
multistakeholder participation in a multi-layer concept.

In his forty-three years as a practising lawyer, Kevin O'Donnell
encountered a wide and sometimes weird mixture of characters
lawyers, clients, police officers, and others. When it came time to
tell the story of his career, he knew that he didn't want to write
a book only about the law; he wanted to write a book about the
people with whom and for whom he worked.
Some of these stories may come off as improbable or even
impossible, but they're all true. He shares tales of the more
notable people he had the privilege of dealing with and the unusual
situations those associations created. He received the occasional
threat of violence, but fortunately, none of them came to pass. He
also survived the aggression of his peers, in and out of court.
During his experience as a law student, articled clerk, employee
lawyer, senior associate for substantial law fi rms, and partner in
a fi rm in regional Victoria, he saw it all- and some of the best
anecdotes from those years await within.
Many of the people he writes about are still his friends (and
some never were), while some of them are now deceased. They've all
provided him with amusement over the years, as well as wry smiles
as he brought their shared adventures to life in his memoir.
Ross was an important Danish jurist who wrote a series of
influential treatises that combined legal realism, Continental
jurisprudence and Scandinavian legal concepts. Although its title
suggests a basic introductory work, A Textbook of International Law
is actually a sophisticated presentation of his international law
of jurisprudence. Reprint of the sole edition, never before
reprinted.
"It is a pleasant task to welcome a treatise on international law
with such a refreshingly new approach to the subject. (...) It
presents] the cardinal doctrines of international law according to
a scheme which is at once novel and stimulating to the English
reader." --R.Y. Jennings, Journal of Comparative Legislation &
International Law, 3rd. Series, 30 (1948) 122
Alf Niels Christian Ross 1899-1979] was Professor of Law at the
University of Copenhagen. In 1956 he was a visiting professor at
the University of Illinois. He served for seven years on the
constitutional committee that laid the groundwork for the Danish
constitution of 1953. His many books, which have been translated
extensively, include Towards a Realistic Jurisprudence (1946),
Constitution of the United Nations: Analysis of Structure and
Function (1950), Why Democracy? (1952), Directives and Norms (1968)
and On Guilt, Responsibility and Punishment (1975).

Transcribed by William E. Butler into English for the first time,
from Du Ponceau's hand, a translation of Gerard de Rayneval's On
the Freedom of the Sea. A previously overlooked and unpublished
contemporary translation by Peter S. Du Ponceau of the classic
treatise by Joseph-Mathias Gerard de Rayneval, De la liberte des
mers (Paris, 1811), edited with an extensive introduction by
William E. Butler.
Successor two centuries later to Grotius' classic writings on the
freedom of the seas, Gerard de Rayneval's work affirmed the
principles of natural and positive law applicable to naval warfare,
privateers, the law of prize, the deep seabed and high seas,
neutrality, and international straits from a French perspective
deeply sympathetic to American views of the time. Gerard de
Rayneval cherished the hope that Napoleon might be inspired by the
work to draft a code of maritime law. This treatise informed
negotiations that led to the 1856 Declaration of Paris and was
widely cited by continental jurists during the 19th century.
"Professor William Butler's careful scholarship and clear
presentation bring to life an important translation of Gerard de
Rayneval's work on the law of the sea, a topic of continuing
interest to scholars and mariners alike in the 21st century.
Professor Butler's detailed introduction and editing of Du
Ponceau's translation offer essential background for familiar
maritime concepts and adds richness to the body of work explaining
the legal regimes surrounding the use of the world's seas." --James
W. Houck Vice Admiral, Judge Advocate General's Corps, U.S. Navy
(Ret.), Interim Dean and Distinguished Scholar in Residence, Penn
State, The Dickinson School of Law
WILLIAM E. BUTLER is the John Edward Fowler Distinguished
Professor of Law, Dickinson School of Law, Pennsylvania State
University, Emeritus Professor of Comparative Law, University of
London, Foreign Member, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine and
National Academy of Legal Sciences of Ukraine.
JOSEPH-MATHIAS GERARD DE RAYNEVAL (1736-1812) was First Deputy
Minister of Foreign Affairs and an international lawyer. He was a
significant mediator in Anglo-French relations who composed an
important memorandum of French strategy for secret assistance to
the Americans entitled "Reflections on the Situation in America"
(1776). He was a key negotiator in the commercial Eden Treaty
(1786), which was signed by him on behalf of France. In 1804 he was
awarded the Cross of the Legion of Honor for his contributions to
the literature of international law.
PETER STEPHEN DU PONCEAU (1760-1844) was a Franco-American jurist
who came to America at the age of 17 and lived in Philadelphia,
where he practiced international law until his death. He was
president of the American Philosophical Society. In 1810 he
published a translation of Bynkershoek's A Treatise on the Law of
War.
