Buenos Aires, Argentina—October 23, 2008. The team at the Environment Secretariat could not believe the outcome of the congressional vote the previous day, October 22. Argentina had achieved the world’s first national glacier protection law, the Minimum Standards Law for the Protection of Glaciers and the Periglacial Environment. The law was strongly conservationist and excluded all industrial activities on or near glaciers and in the periglacial environment. It declared glaciers a strategic reserve, defined glaciers broadly to protect even small perennial ice patches, and banned mining in glacier and periglacial areas. Some of the more salient text read:. . . Article 1. The present law establishes the minimum standards for the protection of glaciers and the periglacial environment with the objective of preserving them as strategic reserves of hydrological resources and as providers of water recharge for hydrographic basins. Article 2. Definition. To the effects of the present law, glaciers are all perennial stable or slowly flowing ice mass, with or without interstitial water, formed by the recrystallization of snow, located in different ecosystems, no matter what their size, dimension or state of conservation. The rock debris material of each glacier is considered a constituent part of the glacier, as are the internal and superficial water courses. Likewise, the periglacial environment is the area of the high mountain with frozen grounds that acts as a regulator of hydrological resources. Article 6. Prohibited Activities. The following activities are hereby prohibited on glaciers as they could affect their natural condition or the functions cited in Article 1, or as they would imply their destruction, moving, or interference with their movement, in particular: a)The liberation, dispersion or deposit of contaminating substances or elements, chemical products or residue of any nature or volume. The construction of architectural works or infrastructure with the exception of those necessary for scientific research. Mining or hydrocarbon exploration or exploitation. This restriction includes activities in periglacial areas saturated in ice. Emplacement of industries. . . . It took a while for the implications of the law to sink in.

The Ideal

The purpose of this study is first to find out the pattern of dispute resolution in the franchise practice of Teh Poci, the second is to describe what the ideal pattern should be. In accordance with the characteristics of the existing problems, the most relevant form of approach to analyzing the above problems is empirical legal research. This research sees law as a reality in society, meaning how the law is practiced. The settlement of default on the agreement in the Tea Poci product franchise business in Ponorogo is the cancellation of the contract as a result of default and is settled on the principle of peace, namely by consulting and negotiation techniques. Ideally, under such a mechanism the franchisor should develop an internal procedure for handling complaints. However, this procedure is not stipulated in the franchise agreement and meets certain minimum standards. This standard should provide a procedure for resolving disputes. If a dispute arises, either party can initiate a complaint handling procedure under the Code of Conduct, or under a franchise agreement.Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah pertama untuk mengetahui pola penyelesaian sengketa dalam praktek waralaba Teh Poci, kedua untuk mendeskripsikan pola yang ideal yang seharusnya. Sesuai dengan karakteristik permasalahan yang ada, bentuk pendekatan yang paling relevan untuk menganalisis permasalahan di atas adalah penelitian hukum empiris. Penelitian ini melihat hukum sebagai realitas dalam masyarakat, artinya bagaimana hukum itu dipraktikkan. Penyelesaian wanprestasi atas kesepakatan dalam usaha waralaba produk Teh Poci di Ponorogo adalah batalnya akad akibat wanprestasi dan diselesaikan dengan prinsip damai yaitu dengan teknik konsultasi dan negosiasi. Idealnya, di bawah mekanisme seperti itu pemilik waralaba harus mengembangkan prosedur internal untuk menangani keluhan. Namun, prosedur ini tidak diatur dalam perjanjian waralaba dan memenuhi standar minimum tertentu. Standar ini harus menyediakan prosedur untuk menyelesaikan perselisihan. Jika timbul perselisihan, salah satu pihak dapat memulai prosedur penanganan keluhan berdasarkan Kode Etik, atau berdasarkan perjanjian waralaba.

Mazzini's Young Italy had a notable influence on the dissident youth of the River Plate region; one of their intellectual leaders, Esteban Echeverría (1805–51) – Romantic poet, socialist utopian, pioneer of Argentina's ‘Generation of 37’, and author of Dogma socialista – proclaimed a Young Argentina, as he firmly believed that it was necessary to establish Mazzinian-style associations to help reformulate the direction of political and literary culture in both Argentina and Uruguay. Both these nations were in those years suffering the consequences of the dictatorial regimes of Juan Manuel de Rosas and Manuel Oribe, respectively, which would later be confronted by Garibaldi and other European legionaries who had crossed the Atlantic to assist the local adversaries of these two governments. This chapter focuses on certain aspects of Echeverría's democratic thought, and particularly the criticism he directed towards the law of universal male suffrage decreed by the government of Buenos Aires in 1821 when he was a youngster. He claimed that this decree had been largely responsible for the rise to power in Buenos Aires of Rosas (in power 1829–32 and 1835–52), which he and other prominent members of Generation of 37 fiercely opposed.

Time Form

This chapter explores Article 30 of the ICDR Rules, which prescribes the basic requirements for the time, form, and effect of any ICDR arbitral award. The Article does not provide a comprehensive list of requirements for a valid award; rather, it prescribes certain general minimum standards, while also giving some deference to the potential application of the parties’ agreement and the specific demands of the law at the place of arbitration or where enforcement is sought. The text of Article 30 received a number of revisions during the 2014 amendments to the ICDR Rules. Many of these revisions were aimed at streamlining and internationalizing the language, but others incorporated existing ICDR practices such as review of the draft award by the ICDR or expanded the previous provisions such as establishing a deadline by which the award must be rendered.

Stratigraphic Sequences

The proposal of the Quilmes Tectonic Trough (Fosa tectónica de Quilmes – FQ) as the extension of the southern end of the Santa Lucía basin in Uruguay and its connection to the Salado basin in Argentina suggest the existence of a large sedimentary volume capable of housing a new aquifer on the La Plata River coast. However, the sedimentary volumes that form the FQ are hidden under a thick, recently deposited cover, and thus, there is a lack of studies on the nature of this formation. Nevertheless, the Uruguayan section of the Meso-Cenozoic depocenter of the Santa Lucía basin has been more thoroughly studied for hydrocarbon exploration, which enabled us to estimate the equivalent tectosedimentary characteristics in the FQ. In the Uruguayan territory, three aquifer systems of the Santa Lucía basin are exploited: the Raigón (Plio-Pleistocene) aquifer, which is the most important source of groundwater for various uses in the south-central region of Uruguay, and the Mercedes (Upper Cretaceous) and Migues (Lower Cretaceous) aquifers, which are also used, albeit to a lesser extent, for drinking water, irrigation, and industrial purposes. The Migues aquifer, the least known of the three, shows a variable depth ranging from 100 to 1500 m and considerable stratigraphic sequences of porous and permeable sandstones. These sandstones provide the aquifer with very good qualities as a reservoir rock; as such, the Migues aquifer has been studied for its potential natural gas reserves and geothermal and water resources. Accordingly, if the same sequences with equivalent sedimentary and hydrogeological qualities are present in the FQ, similar aquifers with interesting properties may remain unidentified along the Buenos Aires coast beneath the intensely explored Puelches, Pampeano and Paraná aquifers. In conclusion, specific exploratory activities may prove the existence and quality of these hydrogeological resources, the regional slope toward the southwest from the Uruguayan outcrops, upwelling or semiupwelling conditions and even geothermal energy associated with the deepest cretaceous aquifers.

This chapter addresses the dozens of bills introduced in Congress as well as other proposals to mandate federal incorporation or to require the establishment of federal minimum standards. Indeed, at no point in U.S. history was the concept of federal incorporation more debated in Congress than the 1903–1914 period. Hence, the concept of federalizing corporate governance in the United States has been advocated, with varying degrees of vigor, for well over a century. Although none of these bills were enacted, they nonetheless play an ongoing role in the corporate governance dialogue. By providing this historical presentation in conjunction with analysis of the modern-day relevance of these legislative proposals, the chapter significantly contributes to the development of the law with respect to the federalization of corporate governance. The chapter also contains Appendices that provide highlights of the key legislative proposals as well as pertinent legislative history.
