    DEEP SEABED MINING UNDER THE LAW OF THE SEA CONVENTION, 1982 WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE INTERESTS OF DEVELOLPING COUNTRIES
    (National Law School Of India University, 1999-04-12) Rehman, Habibur
    This is a research work carried out independently on the topic "Deep Seabed Mining Under the Law of the Sea Convention :1982 with special reference to the interests of developing countries” ‘Deep seabed’ ' signifies the "seabed and ocean floor and subsoil thereof, beyond the limits of national jurisdiction", conventionally known as "Area" and exploration for and exploitation of all mineral resources" is conventionally known as "activities in the Area". An attempt has been made to examine the international legal regime governing deep seabed mining in nine chapters, critically analysing the interests of developing countries specifically. Chapter I makes an acquaintance with the introductory approach of the study. Chapter II investigates the historical background of res nullius and res communis concepts and assesses freedom of the high seas as adopted in UNCLOS I not applicable specifically to the deep seabed mining. The legal regime on deep seabed and its resources remained in vacuum and in 1967 substantial success was achieved with the adoption of the common heritage of mankind resolution in the General Assembly. The LOS convention of UNCLOS III, relating to the Area and its resources in Part XI, has been analyzed in various perspectives to the interests of developing countries. Chapter III seeks out scientific data and capabilities with regard to activities to be carried out in the Area and its resources and identifies which of the part of the Area are to be concerned for the mining. The study envisages the aftermath of the deep seabed mining as to whether and to what extent it will affect the land-based producer states and other matters related as well. Chapter IV delves into insight about the Area and the Seabed Authority as well as its different organs. Dealing with the settlement of disputes machineries, an analysis has been made on transfer of technology enabling the developing countries to participate effectively in the mining. Chapter V speaks out about the illegality of deep seabed mining enactments passed by certain industrialized states in the prevalence of the LOS Convention. It has been stressed that national enactments in consideration of the Convention together with its entry into force since 16 November 1994 should be withdrawn, thus, promoting a universal regime on the deep seabed and its resources. Chapter VI discusses the arrangements accomplished by PrepCom towards registration of several governments of States as pioneer investors enabling activities in the Area to be carried out under the Convention. Chapter VII examines AgRellmplePart XI LOS Convention provisions, justifying it for the success in bringing opponents like the United States and its allies to the Convention as its parties. Evaluation has been made about the impact of AgRelimplePartXILOS Convention in different perspectives. Chapter VIII envisages future projections about probable problems that might arise out of the deep seabed mining. Conclusion has been drawn in chapter IX. As to the findings of the research it has been emphasised that the interests of developing countries in the deep seabed mining have not enhanced significantly under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, 1982, but legally and specifically, they can consider themselves to be secured in their position that no state or entity can proceed for appropriating the Area and its resources.

    Defensive Mechanisms and Trade Remedies: The Countervailing Code Under the WTO
    (National Law School Of India University, 2019-04-05) Suraj, Anil B
    Abstract: In the globalized order of development, the economic and legal systems are heavily influenced by interpretative (and enforcement) trends in the leading international organizations. With the establishment of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 1995, intetnationallaw and enforcement mechanisms have taken a finn direction based on principles of 'rule of law'. The WTO stands for not only 'free trade', but also, more importantly for 'fair trade'. The legitimate and successful working of the wro rules and procedures is imperative for ensuring there is fairness in international trade, and thereby, enable increased cooperation among nations. Else, the current trends towards greater levels of 'protectionism' would divert the goals of development away from the objectives of achieving equitable growth across especially the least-developed nations, with full employment and better standards of living. In this regard, there is a gap in the understanding of the international legal regime that governs the working of the identified defensive measures and their implications. The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GA Tl) 1947, incorporated defensive measures which gradually evolved to become stronger so as to preclude distortions in the conduct of free and fair global trade. However, presently, the very same provisions are being challenged for misuse towards achieving self-centered ends by different Member States. Even divorced from the possible political and economic compulsions for the abuse of these measures, the apparent lack of legal certainty in the application of these measures has compounded the situation further. One of the fundamental economic principles upon which the trading system is based is that trade flows should be determined by comparative advantage and market forces, not governmental interventions, such as subsidies. In recognition of this principle, Members have over time conunitted to increasingly stringent and mutually beneficial rules on the provision of subsidies. Historically too,a pragmatic approach has been taken by Members over the course of successive negotiating rounds to improving subsidies disciplines by prioritizing the elimination of the most explicit categories of subsidies, such as export subsidies and import-substitution subsidies, while further clarifying and strengthening the disciplines for countering the adverse trade effects that other subsidies could cause. In pursuance of the concerned problem and the objectives identified, this research study has sought to explain the discipline of trade remedies and the working of defensive mechanisms through a thorough analysis of the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures and the relevant decisions of the Dispute Setdement Body of the wro with a special emphasis on the interests of the emerging economies, including India. Given that the legal regime of agricultural subsidies is not fully agreed and accepted under the wro, this study is based on the use of 'industrial subsidies' and their legal implications under the framework of\VTO. TIlls study is seeking to put forth the per.spective of an emerging economy like India, which is seeking to re-balance the global economy and enable the equitable growth across nations. This study concludes that the wro framework of rules indeed provide a democratic, equitable and enforceable mechanism to achieve 'fair trade' across nations.
