In this book, Dr Luping Zhang investigates dispute resolution
mechanisms in international civil aviation with a primary focus on
the functions of the International Civil Aviation Organization
(ICAO) Council. The ICAO was created as a result of the Convention
on International Civil Aviation (Chicago Convention) laying the
foundations for these dispute resolution mechanisms in
international civil aviation, although it neglected to cover
economic regulations. Over the years there has been a proliferation
of bilateral Air Services Agreements (ASA)s and multilateral
treaties. With the advancement of aviation technology, The
Resolution of Inter-State Disputes in Civil Aviation considers
whether dispute resolution mechanisms should be modernised, and if
so, what form this modernisation might take. It explores this
through five chapters: the first chapter defines the scope of the
research and introduces the methodology. The second chapter traces
the evolution of dispute resolution clauses under both multilateral
air law treaties and bilateral ASAs, with the most up-to-date data.
The third chapter analyses how disputes brought forward in relation
to the treaties in Chapter II are resolved in practice. The fourth
chapter builds on empirical evidence to critically assesses the
political and legal implications of settling international aviation
disputes. The final chapter proposes a model for reform based on
this cumulative research, introducing a proposal for amending rules
and procedures in the ICAO, as well as for the establishment of a
new arbitral institution.
This book addresses one of the core challenges in the corporate
social responsibility (or business and human rights) debate: how to
ensure adequate access to remedy for victims of corporate abuses
that infringe upon their human rights. However, ensuring access to
remedy depends on a series of normative and judicial elements that
become highly complex when disputes are transnational. In such
cases, courts need to consider and apply different laws that relate
to company governance, to determine the competent forum, to define
which bodies of law to apply, and to ensure the adequate execution
of judgments. The book also discusses how alternative methods of
dispute settlement can relate to this topic, and the important role
that private international law plays in access to remedy for
corporate-related human rights abuses. This collection comprises 20
national reports from jurisdictions in Europe, North America, Latin
America and Asia, addressing the private international law aspects
of corporate social responsibility. They provide an overview of the
legal differences between geographical areas, and offer numerous
examples of how states and their courts have resolved disputes
involving private international law elements. The book draws two
preliminary conclusions: that there is a need for a better
understanding of the role that private international law plays in
cases involving transnational elements, in order to better design
transnational solutions to the issues posed by economic
globalisation; and that the treaty negotiations on business and
human rights in the United Nations could offer a forum to clarify
and unify several of the elements that underpin transnational
disputes involving corporate human rights abuses, which could also
help to identify and bridge the existing gaps that limit effective
access to remedy. Adopting a comparative approach, this book
appeals to academics, lawyers, judges and legislators concerned
with the issue of access to remedy and reparation for corporate
abuses under the prism of private international law.
This book analyzes the legal issues connected with the provision of
Uber-related services. It primarily focuses on the various
contractual and non-contractual relationships that occur during the
use of Uber applications, especially with reference to Uber
headquarters (Uber App), Uber branch offices (advertisements), Uber
partner drivers (employees or self-employed), Uber application
registered users, Uber transportation service users (contracting
passenger) and third-party Uber transportation service users
(additional passenger). It also provides a comparison of standard
transportation services and contracts of carriage, irrespective of
whether the carrier in question is a common carrier, contractual
carrier, actual carrier or an intermediary service provider.
Furthermore, the book presents the relevant case law, especially
with regard to Uber as a taxi service, Uber as a share-riding
service, Uber as a rent-a-car with driver service, Uber as an
employer and Uber as a key organizer of transportation service, in
Croatia, Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, United Kingdom,
United States, Hungary, Argentina, and France. Lastly, it explores
the different legislative approaches to resolving various issues
related to the appearance of Uber and similar companies - the
Laissez-faire model, Status Quo model, Legal Adjustment model, and
the New Legislative Paradigm model.
This report reflects the changes in the South Asia Subregional
Economic Cooperation (SASEC) Program's operational plan for the
period 2016-2025, in particular on priority projects resulting from
a rigorous vetting process. This involves defining SASEC transport
and energy networks and identifying priority projects based on
preparedness and their roles in filling network gaps. The result is
a more reasonable estimate of funding needs to help meet the SASEC
Program's goals of multimodal connectivity, energy market
development, and increased intraregional and interregional trade.
This book presents dispute settlement decisions of the World Trade
Organization by using extensive annotations, in-depth analysis, and
comprehensive summaries of case histories. The extensive index in

intermediaries understand the local context and encourage greater
participation in the region's rapidly developing bond markets.
This report recommends how Indonesia and Timor-Leste can enhance
cross-border cooperation and integration to help boost economic
growth and reduce poverty. It focuses on opportunities in the

This publication assesses the plant health, animal health, and food
safety measures of member countries of the Central Asia Regional
Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Program. The assessment covers laws
and procedures governing the oversight and application of sanitary
and phytosanitary measures, laboratory infrastructure, and border
services management. CAREC members include Afghanistan, Azerbaijan,
the People's Republic of China, Georgia, Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz
Republic, Mongolia, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and
Uzbekistan.
The trade patterns of Maldives within South Asia, particularly with
regard to Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka, were
examined and a gap analysis was conducted on relevant legal
structures, institutional frameworks, and infrastructure. Specific
trade-hindering nontariff measures applied to the potential export
products are identified and prioritized recommendations to address
them are also proposed.

This publication explores how Nepal could boost its exports by
addressing nontariff barriers to trade. It focuses on sanitary and
phytosanitary measures and technical barriers to trade, and
identifies export products that have potential for an increased
market share in Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, and Sri Lanka.
It also examines the regulatory environment and demonstrates the
need to upgrade quality standards and laboratory equipment, and
strengthen accrediting and assessment bodies. The publication
recommends how the public and private sectors can overcome these
barriers.
This study provides insights into the logistics sector in Mongolia
and its relationship to international trade, domestic trade, and
freight movement throughout the country. It also looks at case
studies and examples of logistics and transport solutions from
other countries that are relevant to Mongolia. Recommendations may
be used by policy makers, as well as nongovernment organizations
and industry associations to delve deeper into some of the key
areas of the trade and logistics sector in Mongolia, and take steps
to make improvements.
