On May 21, 2020, a Tribunal established under Annex VII of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) rendered an Award regarding the 2012 Enrica Lexie incident, which involved the death of two Indian fishermen at the hands of Italian Marines. The Award is lengthy and wide-ranging, finding that: (1) Italy and India had concurrent jurisdiction over the incident; (2) the Tribunal had incidental jurisdiction to determine the immunity of the Italian Marines; (3) the Marines enjoyed immunity as state officials; but nevertheless that (4) India was entitled to compensation for the loss of life, physical harm, damage to property, and moral harm. The Award has been received more positively by Italy than India, but neither party has indicated that they intend to do anything other than comply with it.

In the wake of what has been termed “the scramble for the oceans,” the Republic of Mauritius lodged an application in 2012 with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) to recognize its rights to an Exclusive Economic Zone that comprises a large expanse of the Indian Ocean, and subsequently redefined itself as an ocean-state. This new configuration raises as many issues as it answers. The Indian Ocean remains firmly central both to Mauritian history and to its imaginary. All at once, the endless fluidity of the ocean renders material traces and academic archeology harder, yet somehow it traps and sediments memory and meaning in some ways more profoundly than land. This article bores and drills into the historical, geopolitical, and ontological depths of ocean-state Mauritius with the figure of the ghost as motif, metaphor, and witness.

Domestic Sale

This article suggests that New Zealand should overhaul the remedies available for breach of sale of goods contracts.  It argues that the Sale of Goods Act 1908 should be repealed and the principles and provisions of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods 1980 (CISG) should be adopted in its place. This would have the effect of eliminating the unnecessary distinction currently made between domestic and international sale of goods, and finally ridding the law of the condition-warranty distinction which has become out of date and leads to uncertainty and injustice.  It is argued that the provisions of the CISG better respond to the transportation and communication costs and distances involved in international sales, considerations which are not insignificant in trade within New Zealand and, consequently, justify a similar approach domestically.

Šī pētījuma mērķis ir analizēt ANO Konvencijas par starptautiskajiem preču pirkuma-pārdevuma līgumiem (The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, turpmāk tekstā – CISG vai Konvencija) piemērošanu Latvijas Republikā un vērtēt, vai un kā Latvijas tiesās tiek ievērotas Konvencijas 7. panta pirmās daļas prasības: tās piemērošanā ņemt vērā Konvencijas starptautisko raksturu un nepieciešamību veicināt tās piemērošanas vienveidību. Pētījumā analizēti vairāki desmiti anonimizētu tiesu lēmumu, kas pieņemti laika posmā no 2013. gada septembra līdz 2019. gada janvārim. Šķīrējtiesas lēmumi ir izslēgti no šī pētījuma galvenokārt to konfidenciālā rakstura dēļ. Pētījums veikts teorētiski, novērtējot un salīdzinot tiesas lēmumu atbilstību CISG noteiktajiem mērķiem un ietvertajām prasībām, ņemot vērā arī tiesību zinātnieku viedokļus attiecīgajā jautājumā. Pētījumā tika atklāts, ka tiesas, kaut arī dažkārt atzīst CISG piemērojamību, tomēr salīdzinoši bieži papildus Konvencijas normām piemēro arī attiecīgās attiecības regulējošus nacionālos tiesību aktus vai pat tikai nacionālo tiesību aktus, ignorējot Konvenciju. Lai arī publiski pieejamie anonimizētie spriedumi nepilnīgi atspoguļo Konvencijas piemērošanu, tomēr ar to pietiek, lai secinātu, ka Latvijas tiesu nolēmumos konstatējams t. s. homeward trends. Noslēgumā autore norāda uz iespējamiem risinājumiem homeward trenda mazināšanai. The objectives of this study are to focus on the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) case law of the Republic of Latvia; to determine whether and how the mandate has been given in Article 7(1) of CISG, consider its international character and need to promote uniformity in its application is observed in Latvian courts. The author examines and analyses court decisions related to applicability of the CISG in Latvia in the period from September, 2013 to January, 2019. The author notes that arbitration decisions are excluded from this study due to their mostly confidential nature. The study has been performed in a purely theoretical manner assessing and comparing the compliance of judicial decisions with the objectives of the CISG; however, the views of academics and legal scientists have been taken into consideration. The study reveals that courts, although sometimes recognise the CISG applicability, use domestic principles in determining the outcome rather than make decisions based on CISG. Therefore, it identifies that Latvian courts are prone to the so-called homeward trend. The article concludes with the author discussing and suggesting possible solutions in order to minimise the homeward trend.

Juvenile criminal law of the Republic of Srpska is a set of legal (and secondary) regulations governing the criminal justice status of juveniles as perpetrators of criminal acts and juveniles as victims, i.e. victims of crime. Certainly, it is a special part of the criminal law of the Republic of Srpska that, due to a number of specific solutions, has assumed the character of an independent legislative and scientific discipline in the Republic of Srpska, as in many modern European countries.The main source of juvenile criminal law in the Republic of Srpska that has primacy in the application against juvenile offenders is the Law on the protection and treatment of children and juveniles in criminal proceedings (passed by the National Assembly of the Republic of Srpska in February 2010, published in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Srpska, number 13/2010; this law was amended at the end of 2013 - amendments to this law have been published in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Srpska, number 61/2013).Certain legal standards set forth in a lot of international legal acts have a special role in the statutory formulation of this branch of the criminal law in all modern countries. The situation is similar in the Republic of Srpska where the international legal standards previously implemented by Bosnia and Herzegovina (and therefore also by the Republic of Srpska as a part of it) were the framework for the creation of the aforementioned legal texts and all bylaws regulating this very important field. In this paper, we will discuss one of the most important international legal documents - the United Nations Convention on the rights of the child.
