Maldives is a small island developing State in the Indian Ocean comprised of multiple low-lying, sandy islands and coral reefs. It has a long history of human occupation and dependence on the environment, particularly the ocean, for food, resources and trade. Maldives continues to rely upon nature through tourism and fisheries. Conservation and sustainable use of the environment and its resources is therefore of paramount importance to Maldives. In response to growing environmental pressures, including climate change, the State has engaged at global and regional levels, ratifying treaties and participating in key international institutions. It has also developed national law and policy, as well as relevant plans and strategies focused on sustainability. Despite this activity, relatively little legal research has focused on this jurisdiction. This article aims to contribute to the literature on Maldives by exploring environmental, fisheries and tourism laws and policies, analysing current legislative developments and making tentative recommendations in areas where governance could be enhanced.
马尔代夫是印度洋上的一个小岛屿发展中国家,由多个低洼的沙岛和珊瑚礁组成。它有着人类占领和依赖环境的悠久历史,特别是海洋,以获取食物、资源和贸易。马尔代夫继续依靠旅游业和渔业依靠自然。因此,环境及其资源的保护和可持续利用对马尔代夫至关重要。为了应对日益增长的环境压力,包括气候变化,国家在全球和区域层面进行了参与,批准了条约并参加了重要的国际机构。它还制定了以可持续性为重点的国家法律和政策以及相关计划和战略。尽管开展了这些活动,但针对这一管辖权的法律研究相对较少。本文旨在探讨马尔代夫的环境、渔业和旅游法律和政策,分析当前的立法发展,并就可以加强治理的领域提出初步建议,从而为马尔代夫的文献做出贡献。

Environmental rights in the Asia Pacific region: taking stock and assessing impacts 亚太区域的环境权利:评估和评估影响

Since their emergence in the 1970s, human rights relating to environmental protection have spread all over the world and continue to find homes in an ever-growing list of national constitutions. These provisions mainly fall into one of three categories – substantive, procedural, or derivative environmental rights. Over the last two decades, the proliferation of these rights has caught the attention of legal scholars and social scientists, who have sought to catalogue their distribution and analyze the origins and impacts of this development. The literature in this area has provided anecdotal updates concerning environmental rights jurisprudence at the national and regional levels and global quantitative assessments regarding the effects that such rights have on humans and the environment. However, scant work offers regionally-focused empirical examinations of the variation of the presence and impacts of environmental rights. In an effort toward filling this gap, this article utilizes statistical techniques in order to determine what, if any, correlation exists between environmental rights and environmental performance in the Asia Pacific region. Preliminary results suggest that, over the past several years, countries with environmental rights have experienced strong improvements in ecosystem vitality but weak reductions in measures of environmental health. In addition, there is evidence of important intra-regional differences – South and South-West Asia lay claim to some of the world's most innovative environmental rights jurisprudence, while North and Central Asia possess the region's greatest concentration of constitutions featuring environmental rights. The article concludes with several recommendations for policy-makers in the region regarding the adoption and implementation of environmental rights.
自20世纪70年代出现以来,与环境保护有关的人权已遍布世界各地,并继续在越来越多的国家宪法中找到归宿。这些条款主要分为三类——实质性、程序性或衍生性环境权利。在过去的二十年里,这些权利的扩散引起了法律学者和社会科学家的注意,他们试图对这些权利的分布进行分类,并分析这一发展的起源和影响。这一领域的文献提供了关于国家和区域两级环境权利判例的轶事更新,以及关于此类权利对人类和环境影响的全球定量评估。然而,很少有工作对环境权利的存在和影响的变化进行以区域为重点的实证研究。为了填补这一空白,本文利用统计技术来确定亚太地区的环境权利与环境绩效之间存在什么相关性(如果有的话)。初步结果表明,在过去几年中,拥有环境权利的国家在生态系统活力方面有了很大的改善,但在环境健康措施方面却有所减少。此外,有证据表明区域内存在重要差异——南亚和西南亚拥有一些世界上最具创新性的环境权利判例,而北亚和中亚拥有该地区最集中的以环境权利为特色的宪法。文章最后就通过和落实环境权利向该区域的决策者提出了几项建议。

Australia's new illegal logging laws aim at prohibiting the import of illegally harvested forest products from around the world. Soon after adoption, and following an intense debate on the expected costs of compliance, the legislation was reviewed and the proposed amendments finally disallowed. As of 2018 stricter enforcement actions were announced. This article identifies compliance issues observed in Australia and proposes ways to tackle them based on experiences in the United States and the European Union. We find that law enforcement helps shape market behaviour and reinforces compliance. A national legality assurance system, established in the supplier country, is an effective way to ensure legality verification, to alleviate the burden on individual businesses to prove legality, and to support the regulated community to comply with the law.
澳大利亚新的非法采伐法旨在禁止从世界各地进口非法采伐的森林产品。在通过后不久,在对遵守的预期成本进行了激烈辩论之后,立法被审查,提议的修正案最终被否决。截至2018年,宣布了更严格的执法行动。本文确定了在澳大利亚观察到的合规性问题,并根据美国和欧盟的经验提出了解决这些问题的方法。我们发现,执法有助于塑造市场行为,加强合规。在供应国建立国家合法性保证制度,是确保合法性核查、减轻个体企业证明合法性负担、支持被监管群体守法的有效途径。

Bilateral agreements for the protection of migratory birdlife: the implementation of the China-Australia Migratory Bird Agreement (CAMBA) 保护候鸟的双边协定:《中澳候鸟协定》的执行情况
IF 0.6 Q4 ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES Pub Date : 2019-05-01 DOI: 10.4337/APJEL.2019.01.07

Every year, millions of migratory birds journey along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway (EAAF). The scope of the EAAF encompasses Asia Pacific nations like Australia, New Zealand, China, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia. The effective conservation of these birds rests upon the implementation of bilateral legal agreements as well as non-binding regional initiatives along this North-South nexus. This article evaluates the implementation of one of the most important bilateral bird agreements in the region – the China-Australia Migratory Bird Agreement (CAMBA). The main obligations in CAMBA are identified; as are the legal initiatives adopted by both China and Australia which reflect CAMBA's obligations. Whilst Australian law makes specific reference to CAMBA, Chinese law is far less direct, though perhaps no less effective. The argument is made that the findings in this article have relevance for an improved understanding of the mechanisms for transboundary governance of migratory birdlife, especially in the Asia Pacific.
每年,数以百万计的候鸟沿着东亚-澳大拉西亚飞行路线(EAAF)迁徙。EAAF的范围包括澳大利亚、新西兰、中国、日本、韩国、越南、马来西亚和印度尼西亚等亚太国家。这些鸟类的有效保护取决于双边法律协议的执行以及南北关系沿线不具约束力的区域倡议。本文评估了该地区最重要的双边鸟类协定之一——《中澳候鸟协定》(CAMBA)的执行情况。确定了CAMBA的主要义务;中国和澳大利亚采取的反映CAMBA义务的法律举措也是如此。虽然澳大利亚法律特别提到CAMBA,但中国法律远没有那么直接,尽管可能同样有效。有人认为,这篇文章的研究结果有助于更好地理解迁徙鸟类跨界治理机制,特别是在亚太地区。

Corruption and the forestry industry in Papua New Guinea: transnational actors, local dynamics and environmental impact 巴布亚新几内亚的腐败与林业:跨国行为者、当地动态和环境影响
IF 0.6 Q4 ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES Pub Date : 2019-05-01 DOI: 10.4337/APJEL.2019.01.03

Corruption and environmental degradation are interrelated challenges. In Papua New Guinea (PNG), the relationship between corruption and the environment can be seen in the continuing corruption that exists in the country's forestry industry. The article focuses on key actors, values and interests across geographic and institutional spheres who contribute to corrupt incentives in PNG. The PNG government, foreign corporations, customary land owners, NGOs, multilateral organizations, even foreign governments and consumers; all play a role in the PNG context. These actors and their motives must be understood and harnessed to reduce corruption and improve environmental outcomes in PNG. To balance power dynamics and incentives among these actors requires the use of multiple legal and political tools: political pressure, international law, domestic legislation, aid and technical assistance, education and enforcement of existing legal frameworks are all components of the solution. The concept of an experimentalist governance framework for environmental protection is valuable in this context, due to its fluidity, responsiveness and adaptability in complex environments with multiple stakeholders.
腐败和环境退化是相互关联的挑战。在巴布亚新几内亚(PNG),腐败与环境之间的关系可以从该国林业持续存在的腐败中看出来。本文关注的是跨地域和制度领域的关键行为者、价值观和利益,这些行为者助长了巴布亚新几内亚的腐败动机。巴布亚新几内亚政府、外国公司、惯有土地所有者、非政府组织、多边组织,甚至外国政府和消费者;都在PNG上下文中发挥作用。必须了解和利用这些行为者及其动机,以减少巴布亚新几内亚的腐败和改善环境成果。为了平衡这些行动者之间的权力动态和激励,需要使用多种法律和政治工具:政治压力、国际法、国内立法、援助和技术援助、教育和执行现有法律框架都是解决办法的组成部分。在这种情况下,实验主义环境保护治理框架的概念是有价值的,因为它在具有多个利益相关者的复杂环境中具有流动性、响应性和适应性。

This article explores current trends in regional cooperation in the South China Sea with regard to marine environmental protection. While there are a large number of bodies engaged in some way in issues relating to the marine environment, this region faces some serious challenges in cooperative efforts. Thus, the article gives an overview of the current cooperation landscape, highlights the most serious challenges faced and looks at the way forward. The possibility of the appropriateness of issue-based solutions, particularly to marine litter, is examined, while at the same time emphasis is laid on the importance of the implementation of international obligations and standards.

Forest certification, state regulation and community empowerment: complementarity in seeking a viable solution to forest degradation in Indonesia? 森林认证、国家监管和社区赋权:寻求印度尼西亚森林退化可行解决方案的互补性?

For developing countries like Indonesia, the advantages enjoyed by developed countries – of political stability and highly regulated systems of land tenure and ownership – are elusive, leading to a situation in which state intervention in forest governance is met with resistance and faces significant hurdles. Recognizing the challenges facing implementation of Indonesia's current systems of certification, and the failure thus far of government efforts to stem illegal forestry activity, this article examines the influence of certification on sustainable forest management (SFM) in Indonesia. In particular, the question of how certification requirements interact with both the domestic regulatory framework and expectations for community participation and engagement is considered. The article begins by reviewing Indonesian efforts to implement SFM, as well as the basis of certification systems; before examining Indonesian experience with forest certification, drawing both upon previously published studies and field research by the authors. Finally, the article considers complementarity in government, private and community initiatives in SFM and how regulatory reform in support of a more participatory approach could contribute to achieving these goals. The development of the Indonesian voluntary forestry certification process shows that both certification schemes and government regulation provide advantages and disadvantages in improving the sustainability of forest management and in controlling illegal activities. An increased role for communities, small-scale producers and traditional forest users appears important in the Indonesian context, providing additional options and capacity for sustainable forest management.
对于像印度尼西亚这样的发展中国家来说,发达国家所享有的政治稳定和高度管制的土地保有权和所有权制度的优势是难以捉摸的,这导致国家对森林治理的干预遇到阻力,并面临重大障碍。认识到实施印度尼西亚现行认证制度面临的挑战,以及迄今为止政府遏制非法林业活动的努力失败,本文探讨了认证对印度尼西亚可持续森林管理的影响。特别是,审议了认证要求如何与国内监管框架以及对社区参与和参与的期望相互作用的问题。文章首先回顾了印度尼西亚实施SFM的努力,以及认证制度的基础;在审查印度尼西亚在森林认证方面的经验之前,借鉴了作者先前发表的研究和实地研究。最后,文章考虑了SFM中政府、私人和社区举措的互补性,以及支持更具参与性的方法的监管改革如何有助于实现这些目标。印度尼西亚自愿林业认证程序的发展表明,认证计划和政府监管在提高森林管理的可持续性和控制非法活动方面各有利弊。加强社区、小规模生产者和传统森林使用者的作用在印度尼西亚看来很重要,为可持续森林管理提供了更多的选择和能力。

Corporations, human rights and the environmental degradation–corruption nexus 公司、人权与环境退化——腐败关系
IF 0.6 Q4 ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES Pub Date : 2019-05-01 DOI: 10.4337/APJEL.2019.01.04

It is often the case that harms to societies go hand in hand. This seems to be true when looking at cases in which corporations are accused of contributing to human rights abuses, environmental degradation and corruption in developing nations. This article considers the relationships between these three harms from the perspective of corporations as actors involved in producing those harms. Based on a cross-case analysis of 45 cases in which this nexus of harms is found, this article assesses the atrocity crimes/environmental degradation/corruption-nexus, by studying agency (crime scripts), actors (industries and corporations) and connections (how are the three harms related?) in these cases. The analysis shows that corporations are mostly indirectly involved in atrocity crimes, but directly involved in environmental harm and corruption. Extractive industries are overrepresented and the many entanglements with state agents qualify as state-corporate crime. The relations between the harms are multifaceted and can be causal, spurious and synonymous by nature.
对社会的危害往往是同时发生的。在观察那些被指控在发展中国家助长侵犯人权、环境恶化和腐败的公司的案例时,这似乎是正确的。本文从企业作为损害产生的行动者的角度来考察这三种损害之间的关系。基于对45个案例的交叉案例分析,本文通过研究这些案例中的代理(犯罪剧本)、行动者(行业和公司)和联系(这三种危害如何相关?)来评估暴行犯罪/环境退化/腐败之间的联系。分析表明,企业大多间接参与了暴行犯罪,但直接参与了环境破坏和腐败。采掘业的代表人数过多,与政府机构的许多纠缠都被视为国有企业犯罪。伤害之间的关系是多方面的,可以是因果的,虚假的和同义的性质。
