Maritime Transport Services in the Law of the Sea and the World Trade Organization
Author: Chuyang Liu
Publisher: Peter Lang
ISBN: 9783034300995
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 342
Book Description
Since the beginnings of international law, the law of the sea has been of paramount importance for international trade. Yet this area of law and international trade regulations have developed as two distinct areas with little interface with each other. As the GATT/WTO emerged in parallel to the LOS Convention since the 1970s, both bodies have made extensive efforts in international treaty making. However, the relationship between trade regulations and the law of the sea has hardly been explored. The author examines some key aspects of this relationship, in particular port entry, access to cargo in coastal shipping (cabotage) and access to cargo in international shipping. The inclusion of services in WTO law will render this relationship of great importance in the future as the agreement extensively covers maritime transport. It is just a matter of time until the current exclusion of maritime transport under special exemptions will be reviewed in future negotiations. The book provides the background and a normative basis for approaching some of the problems which members of the WTO will have to address in coming years. It also deals briefly with the problem of choice of law and competing jurisdictions between trade law and maritime law.

Maritime Transport and Destabilizing Commodity Flows
Author: Hugh Stewart Wallace Griffiths
Publisher:
ISBN: 9789185114719
Category : Arms control
Languages : en
Pages : 51
Book Description
Maritime transport flows are the lifeblood of global trade. They are also the dominant means of transporting a range of potentially destabilizing commodities that threaten states and societies throughout the developing and developed worlds. Maritime transport is the preferred mode for this clandestine trade not least because the high seas are the most difficult areas of our planet to monitor or regulate. No state effectively controls the vastness of this territory; despite advances in the application of satellite and ship monitoring technologies and enhanced information sharing in certain areas, much remains unknown. This SIPRI Policy Paper aims to fill a crucial knowledge gap by, for the first time in a public document, providing an analysis of the ships involved in the transport of some of the most destabilizing commodities: narcotics, arms and dual-use goods essential to the development of weapons of mass destruction. It also identifies 'choke points' and weaknesses in trafficking techniques, which, if the political will and requisite resources exist, can be exploited to better prevent destabilizing maritime transfers. The study further recommends actions that could be implemented at relatively low cost, using existing mechanisms, but that could have major and lasting benefits for global economic and human security. Through this study, the authors offer a much-needed focus on and practical solutions to one of the most important global security challenges for policymakers, civil society and industry in the 21st century.
