Abstract:

Almost twenty years after the signing of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and negotiations over mitigation and adaptation strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions began, the negotiations continue to fall short of scientific goals to curb warming. Current UNFCCC procedures do not provide for mediation in the process of negotiations. Public policy mediation has been used often at local, national, and regional levels to resolve environmental disputes. The characteristics of the climate change negotiations suggest that mediation may provide a number of benefits to the

The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) was agreed in 1980. It has been ratified by 79 states.

Abstract:

The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, 1980 ("CISG") creates a uniform law for the international sale of goods. However, textual uniformity is a necessary but insufficient step towards achieving substantive legal uniformity, since the formulation and enactment of a uniform legal text carries no guarantee of its subsequent uniform application in practice. This thesis therefore considers different approaches to the interpretation of CISG and evaluates their appropriateness for uniform international trade law, before advancing an interpretative approach ba

Abstract:

Raphael Lemkin’s neologism, genocide, coined in 1944 to describe the ‘crime of crimes’, was introduced to the world in the United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide in 1948. While the crime is thought to be almost as old as humanity itself, the events of the 20th century have provided too many examples from which the international community cannot turn away. The Convention’s definition of genocide and the elements which constitute the crime are contained within its foundational rhetoric, which—as the adjective suggests—is the layer that supports the e

Abstract:

Globalisation has created new market opportunities for Nigerian traders, resulting in the growth of international trade in Nigeria. However, the opportunity of a wider market and a broader range of goods, means that Nigerian traders have to grapple with the complexities and transaction costs of foreign laws of different jurisdictions, which are a hindrance to trade. Given the above, there is a need for a uniform framework capable of regulating international trade transactions.

In principle, contracts are enforceable mutually beneficial agreements.

Namely, a mandatory Nachfrist-mechanism, a hierarchy of remedies, and debtor’s (in sales law: seller’s) rights to cure—before and after performance date—are normative devices intended to perform and preserve contracts, employing purportedly better, more cost-effective re
