In recent years the large scale urbanization, industrialization and associated environmental alteration and its impact on biodiversity pose a threat to human existence and hence there is a need to pursue industrial development with a sense of responsibility. It is possible through sustainable development. Sustainable development postulates balance between environmental and developmental concerns. The Indian Supreme Court has been proactive in importing sustainable development principles from international environmental law into the Indian law through different judicial tools and strategies. This paper analyzes the concept of sustainable development and contribution of Indian Supreme Court in establishing the norms of sustainability for the government and the development proponents.
近年来,大规模的城市化、工业化和随之而来的环境变化及其对生物多样性的影响对人类的生存构成了威胁,因此需要以负责任的态度进行工业发展。这是通过可持续发展实现的。可持续发展要求在环境问题和发展问题之间取得平衡。印度最高法院一直积极主动地通过不同的司法工具和战略,将国际环境法中的可持续发展原则引入印度法律。本文分析了可持续发展的概念,以及印度最高法院在为政府和发展支持者建立可持续发展规范方面的贡献。

Optimal Asset Allocation for Sovereign Wealth Funds: Theory and Practice 主权财富基金最优资产配置:理论与实践
Pub Date : 2013-10-24 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2344747
Z. Bodie, M. Brière
This paper addresses management of sovereign wealth from the perspective of the theory of contingent claims. Starting with the sovereign's balance sheet, we frame sovereign fund management as an asset-liability management (ALM) problem, covering all public entities and taking explicit account of all sources of risks affecting government resources and expenditures. Real-life SWFs asset allocations differ strongly from theoretical ones. Financial management of the sovereign balance sheet is hampered by a lack of aggregate data, which compromises the coordination of sovereign wealth management with fiscal policy, monetary policy and public debt management. In this framework, we suggest institutional arrangements that could overcome this obstacle and enable efficient coordination.
本文从或有债权理论的角度探讨主权财富的管理问题。从主权资产负债表开始,我们将主权基金管理视为资产负债管理(ALM)问题,涵盖所有公共实体,并明确考虑影响政府资源和支出的所有风险来源。现实生活中的主权财富基金的资产配置与理论中的大不相同。由于缺乏汇总数据,主权资产负债表的财务管理受到阻碍,这损害了主权财富管理与财政政策、货币政策和公共债务管理的协调。在这一框架内,我们建议能够克服这一障碍并使有效协调成为可能的体制安排。

Do Social Rights Affect Social Outcomes? 社会权利影响社会结果吗?
Pub Date : 2013-09-09 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2323539
C. Bjørnskov, Jacob Mchangama
While the United Nations and NGOs are pushing for global judicialization of economic, social and cultural rights (ESCRs), little is known of their consequences. We provide evidence of the effects of introducing three types of ESCRs into the constitution: the rights to education, health and social security. Employing a large panel covering annual data from 160 countries in the period 1960-2010, we find no robust evidence of positive effects of ESCRs. We do, however, document adverse medium-term effects on education and inflation.
虽然联合国和非政府组织正在推动经济、社会和文化权利的全球司法化,但人们对其后果知之甚少。我们提供证据,证明将三类经济、社会和文化权利纳入宪法所产生的影响:受教育权、健康权和社会保障权。通过对覆盖160个国家1960-2010年年度数据的大型小组研究,我们发现没有强有力的证据表明escr具有积极影响。然而,我们确实记录了对教育和通货膨胀的不利中期影响。

The Innocent in the Just War Thinking of Vitoria and Suárez: A Challenge Even for Secular Just War Theorists and International Law 正义战争中的无辜者维多利亚思想和Suárez:对世俗正义战争理论家和国际法的挑战

Vitoria and Suarez defend the categorical immunity of the innocent not to be intentionally killed. But they allow for inflicting collective punishment on the innocent and the noninnocent alike during and after a just war. So they allow for deliberately harming them. Inflicting harm on the innocent can often result in their death. Hence, holding both claims seems incoherent. First, the objections against using the term “innocent” are explained. Second, their views on just war are explored. And third, by appealing to Aquinas' double‐effect reasoning, it is shown how they try to avoid the above‐mentioned incoherence. Still, their appeal might be insufficient to palliate the tension between the above‐mentioned claims. If just wars are possible, the deliberate harming of the innocent is reasonably unavoidable for defeating and punishing those who wage them. Hence, defenders of just wars, whether from a religious or a secular perspective, must live with such a tension.
维多利亚和苏亚雷斯为无辜者不被故意杀害的绝对豁免权辩护。但它们允许在正义战争期间和之后对无辜者和非无辜者施加集体惩罚。所以他们允许故意伤害他们。对无辜者造成伤害往往会导致他们的死亡。因此,持有两种说法似乎是不连贯的。首先,解释了反对使用“无辜”一词的理由。其次,探讨了他们对正义战争的看法。第三,通过诉诸阿奎那的双重效果推理,可以看出他们是如何设法避免上述的不连贯。尽管如此,他们的呼吁可能不足以缓和上述主张之间的紧张关系。如果正义战争是可能的,为了击败和惩罚发动战争的人,故意伤害无辜者是不可避免的。因此,正义战争的捍卫者,无论是从宗教还是世俗的角度来看,都必须生活在这种紧张之中。

Tackling Climate Change Through an International Poverty Law Regime 通过国际贫困法律制度应对气候变化
Pub Date : 2012-04-08 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2036254
Kalpana S. Murari
Discussions on 'equity' in Climate change talks cannot move forward without discussions on anti-poverty mechanisms. The linkage to climate change and poverty eradication can be found in implementation of adaptation rather than mitigation measures. This theory emanates from a compendium essays written in favor of establishing International Poverty Law regime which could lead to appropriate domestic legislation within nations.
如果不讨论反贫困机制,气候变化谈判中关于“公平”的讨论就无法向前推进。气候变化与消除贫穷之间的联系可以在实施适应措施而不是缓解措施中找到。这一理论源于一篇支持建立国际贫困法制度的综述文章,该制度可以导致各国适当的国内立法。

Barriers to the Importation of Brazilian Ethanol Caused by the US Ethanol Policy and the Legality of the Policy Under WTO Law 美国乙醇政策对巴西乙醇进口造成的障碍及其在WTO法律下的合法性
Pub Date : 2011-05-05 DOI: 10.2139/SSRN.2337114
Natasha Shamutete
This essay argues that the US ethanol policy is a trade barrier on the importation of Brazilian ethanol. A particularly controversial aspect of the ethanol policy is the secondary tariff imposed on ethanol imports.The secondary tariff causes imported ethanol to be treated less favorably than domestic ethanol, resulting in a de facto violation of the national treatment principle. This is because the Volumetric Ethanol Excise Tax Credit (VEETC), a tax credit of $0.45 per gallon of ethanol blended, is available to US blenders of ethanol and gasoline, regardless of whether the ethanol is obtained from a domestic producer or a Brazilian producer. However, at the border, Brazilian imports are subjected to a secondary tariff of $0.54 (and an ad valorem duty at a rate of 2.5%). As a result, US blenders have an incentive to use US-produced ethanol over Brazilian ethanol, as the use of US ethanol means they receive a tax credit against excise taxes imposed on the sale or use of the gasoline-ethanol fuel blend. Conversely, although US blenders that import ethanol from Brazil also receive the $0.45 tax credit, the tax credit is offset by the secondary tariff. Furthermore, US blenders that import ethanol have to pay an additional $0.09 above the offset of the tax credit, making the secondary tariff "punitive". As such, the structure of the tax credit and secondary tariff compels US blenders to use domestically-produced ethanol as opposed to importing ethanol from Brazil.Thus, it is proposed that in order to remove trade barriers to Brazilian ethanol the US should amend its ethanol policy by eliminating the secondary tariff.
本文认为,美国的乙醇政策是对巴西乙醇进口的贸易壁垒。乙醇政策的一个特别有争议的方面是对乙醇进口征收的二级关税。二级关税导致进口乙醇受到的待遇低于国内乙醇,导致实际上违反了国民待遇原则。这是因为体积乙醇消费税抵免(VEETC),即每加仑混合乙醇0.45美元的税收抵免,适用于美国的乙醇和汽油混合商,无论乙醇是从国内生产商还是巴西生产商获得的。然而,在边境,巴西进口产品要缴纳0.54美元的次级关税(以及2.5%的从价税)。因此,美国的混合燃料制造商有动力使用美国生产的乙醇,而不是巴西的乙醇,因为使用美国乙醇意味着他们可以获得税收抵免,而不是针对销售或使用汽油-乙醇燃料混合物征收的消费税。相反,尽管从巴西进口乙醇的美国混合企业也获得了0.45美元的税收抵免,但这种税收抵免被次级关税抵消了。此外,进口乙醇的美国混合企业必须在抵消税收抵免的基础上额外支付0.09美元,这使得二级关税具有“惩罚性”。因此,税收抵免和二级关税的结构迫使美国混合机使用国内生产的乙醇,而不是从巴西进口乙醇。因此,建议为了消除对巴西乙醇的贸易壁垒,美国应该通过取消次级关税来修改其乙醇政策。

Contemporary Challenges of Security in the Indian Ocean Region 印度洋地区的当代安全挑战
Pub Date : 2010-09-15 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.1874606
S. Agarwal
Post-2008, the surge of maritime piracy in the Gulf of Aden highlights the growing non-traditional security threat in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR). Waters off the coast of Somalia has become an epicenter of the growing menace of piracy. These developments pose significant security threats to seaborne trade through the Gulf of Aden Sea Lines of Communications (SLOCs). In the wake of transnational nature of the contemporary security challenges in the IOR, it imperative for the international community to address the various issues in the IOR, through legal, diplomatic, military or any other appropriate measures, to ensure stability, safety and security in the IOR.
2008年后,亚丁湾海盗活动激增,凸显了印度洋地区非传统安全威胁的加剧。索马里海岸附近的水域已经成为日益严重的海盗威胁的中心。这些事态发展对通过亚丁湾海上交通线(SLOCs)的海上贸易构成重大安全威胁。随着印度洋地区当代安全挑战的跨国性,国际社会必须通过法律、外交、军事或任何其他适当措施来解决印度洋地区的各种问题,以确保印度洋地区的稳定、安全和保障。

An Elaborated Global Climate Policy Architecture: Specific Formulas and Emission Targets for All Countries in All Decades 详细阐述的全球气候政策架构:所有国家在所有十年的具体公式和排放目标

The author would like especially to thank Valentina Bosetti of FEEM who produced, by means of the WITCH model, all the simulations of the effects of my formula-based proposals, thereby bringing hitherto- abstract ideas to life. This paper literally could not have been written without her. He would like to thank Joe Aldy and Robert Stavins of the Harvard Project on International Climate Agreements for encouraging and supporting this line of research. For comments and suggestions on the outcome he would like to thank Valentina Bosetti, John Deutch, Robert Keohane, Warwick McKibben, Oyebola Olabisi, Rob Stavins, Jonathan Weiner, and an anonymous reviewer. The author would further like to thank for partial support the Sustainability Science Program, funded by the Italian Ministry for Environment, Land and Sea, at the Center for International Development at Harvard University. Abstract This paper offers a detailed plan to set quantitative national limits on emissions of greenhouse gases, building on the foundation of the Kyoto Protocol. It attempts to fill in the most serious gaps: the absence of targets extending as far as 2100, the absence of participation by the United States and developing countries, and the absence of reason to think that countries will abide by commitments. The plan elaborates on the idea of a framework of formulas that can assign quantitative limits across countries, one budget period at a time. Unlike other proposals for century-long paths of emission targets that are based purely on science (concentration goals) or ethics (equal rights per capita) or economics (cost-benefit optimization), this plan is based partly on politics. Three political constraints are particularly important. (1) Developing countries are not asked to bear any cost in the early years. (2) Thereafter, they are not asked to make any sacrifice that is different in kind or degree than was made by those countries that went before them, with due allowance for differences in incomes. (3) No country is asked to accept an ex ante target that costs it more than, say, 1% of income in present value, or more than, say, 5% of income in any single budget period. They would not agree to ex ante targets that turned out to have such high costs, nor abide by them ex post. An announced target path that implies a future violation of these constraints will not be credible, and thus will not provide the necessary signals to firms today. The proposal is that (i) China and other developing countries are asked to accept targets at BAU in the coming budget period, the same in which the US first agrees to cuts below BAU; and (ii) all countries are asked to make further cuts in the future in accordance with a formula which sums up a Progressive Reductions Factor, a Latecomer Catch-up Factor, and a Gradual Equalization Factor. The paper tries out specific values for the parameters in the formulas (parameters that govern the extent of progressivity and equity, and the speed with which
作者特别要感谢FEEM的Valentina Bosetti,她通过WITCH模型对我基于公式的建议的所有效果进行了模拟,从而使迄今为止抽象的想法变为现实。如果没有她,这篇论文是写不出来的。他要感谢哈佛国际气候协议项目的Joe Aldy和Robert Stavins鼓励和支持这方面的研究。他要感谢Valentina Bosetti、John Deutch、Robert Keohane、Warwick McKibben、Oyebola Olabisi、Rob Stavins、Jonathan Weiner和一位匿名审稿人对结果的评论和建议。作者还要进一步感谢由意大利环境、陆地和海洋部在哈佛大学国际发展中心资助的可持续发展科学项目的部分支持。摘要:本文在《京都议定书》的基础上,提出了制定国家温室气体定量排放限制的详细方案。它试图填补最严重的空白:没有到2100年的目标,没有美国和发展中国家的参与,没有理由认为各国会遵守承诺。该计划详细阐述了一个公式框架的想法,该框架可以在各国之间分配数量限制,一次一个预算期。与其他纯粹基于科学(浓度目标)、伦理(人均平等权利)或经济学(成本效益优化)的百年排放目标路径不同,该计划部分基于政治。三个政治制约因素尤为重要。发展中国家在最初几年不被要求承担任何费用。(2)此后,不要求它们作出任何在种类或程度上不同于在它们之前的国家的牺牲,但应适当考虑到收入的差异。(3)没有一个国家被要求接受一个事前目标,该目标的成本超过(比如说)收入现值的1%,或者超过(比如说)任何单一预算期间收入的5%。他们不会同意事先设定的目标,因为它们的成本如此之高,也不会在事后遵守这些目标。宣布的目标路径意味着未来将违反这些约束,这将是不可信的,因此不会向今天的企业提供必要的信号。建议是:(1)要求中国和其他发展中国家在下一个预算期内接受低于BAU的目标,与美国首先同意低于BAU的目标相同;(二)要求所有国家今后按照一个公式进一步削减,该公式包括一个渐进削减因素、一个后发追赶因素和一个逐步均衡因素。本文尝试为公式中的参数(控制累进和公平程度的参数,以及后来者最终必须赶上的速度)提供具体值。由此产生的排放目标路径通过WITCH模型运行。从碳减排(到2100年达到500 PPM的浓度)和经济成本(没有一个国家承受不成比例的负担)两方面来看,结果都是合理的。

The plan elaborates on the idea of a framework of formulas that can assign quantitative limits across countries, one budget period at a time. Unlike other proposals for century-long paths of emission targets that are based purely on science (concentration goals) or ethics (equal rights per capita) or economics (cost-benefit optimization), this plan is based partly on politics. Three political constraints are particularly important. (1) Developing countries are not asked to bear any cost in the early years. (2) Thereafter, they are not asked to make any sacrifice that is different in kind or degree than was made by those countries that went before them, with due allowance for differences in incomes. (3) No country is asked to accept an ex ante target that costs it more than, say, 1% of income in present value, or more than, say, 5% of income in any single budget period. They would not agree to ex ante targets that turned out to have such high costs, nor abide by them ex post. An announced target path that implies a future violation of these constraints will not be credible, and thus will not provide the necessary signals to firms today. The proposal is that (i) China and other developing countries are asked to accept targets at BAU in the coming budget period, the same in which the US first agrees to cuts below BAU; and (ii) all countries are asked to make further cuts in the future in accordance with a formula which sums up a Progressive Reductions Factor, a Latecomer Catch-up Factor, and a Gradual Equalization Factor. The paper tries out specific values for the parameters in the formulas (parameters that govern the extent of progressivity and equity, and the speed with which","PeriodicalId":202713,"journal":{"name":"SRPN: Legal Issues (Topic)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128824043","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite the large and growing number of humanitarian emergencies, there is little economic research on the impact of refugees and internally displaced people on the communities that receive them. This analysis of the impact of the refugee inflows from Burundi and Rwanda in 1993 and 1994 on host populations in western Tanzania shows large increases in the prices of nonaid food items and more modest price effects for aid-related food items. Food aid is shown to mitigate these effects, though its impact is smaller than that of the increases in the refugee population. Examination of household assets suggests positive wealth effects of refugee camps on nearby rural households and negative wealth effects on households in urban areas.
尽管人道主义紧急情况数量庞大且日益增多,但很少有关于难民和国内流离失所者对接收他们的社区的影响的经济研究。这项对1993年和1994年布隆迪和卢旺达难民流入对坦桑尼亚西部收容人口影响的分析显示,非援助粮食项目的价格大幅上涨,而与援助有关的粮食项目的价格影响较小。粮食援助显示可以减轻这些影响,尽管其影响小于难民人口增加的影响。对家庭资产的考察表明,难民营对附近农村家庭的财富产生积极影响,而对城市地区家庭的财富产生消极影响。
