Exclusive Economic Zone

had intended to enter Australia and in so being the first country of arrival, it fell upon it give temporary refuge and preliminary screening. Later on, it could have transferred the refugees to a third state for further processing and to send back those who were not deemed eligible. 3. THE CONTIGUOUS ZONES The contiguous zone is the maritime zone adjacent to a state’s territorial sea extending from the outer limits of the territorial sea up to 24 nautical miles. This area is not under the exclusive sovereignty of the coastal state and it maintains the navigational freedoms allowed within the high seas. According to Article 33 of UNCLOS the coastal state is allowed to maintain control essential to “(a) prevent infringement of its cus-toms, fiscal, immigration or sanitary laws and regulations within its ter-ritory or territorial sea; (b) punish infringement of the above laws and regulations committed within its territory or territorial sea”. The contiguous zone is of a specifically functional nature. Migratory issues and the control afforded to coastal states within this zone seek to make prominent the contrast between the two legal regimes which apply within this maritime zone. Firstly, the coastal state has the right to exercise its sovereign powers of prevention when its domestic immigration law is in danger of being violated. Secondly, the state must also comply with its international obligations regarding the customary principle of non-refoulement and the right of…

This lower budget means that small departments can put less officers and less vehicles on the roads. Having less officers means that the departments must break its jurisdiction into larger zones and may not be able to place more than one unit in each zone. This means that officers are further away from back up and response times may be longer than those experienced in the city. Rural departments are unlikely to afford specialized units meaning that bomb disposal, drug cases, and special victims…

to be found in the conventional, civilized world. The scenes that take place outside the Zone are painted in a condemning light. The home of the Stalker, the building and town in which he resides that is slowly exposed to the viewer in the beginning portion of the film, is depicted as an empty, hopeless place. The incentive for this portrayal is the origin of this place’s ruin. While the Zone represents a more organic decay, demonstrative of the inevitable continuation of life, this place is the…

done so that the workers in the factory can’t unionize to protest their worker’s rights. Since the labor laws in these countries are so poor, Nike only has to pay a fraction of the cost of production if it was done in the United States. The impact of the Punta d Este GATT meeting on today’s intellectual property rights is that instead of the patent insuring the final product of the invention, it insured the entire process including the end result. This made sure that countries could not innovate…

medical device, technology is altering the landscape of possibility in places where possibilities used to be scarce.”(2013) That mean the advantage would create strong competitive power for the company. So it would be the one of general benefit for company because you can make more money when others company didn’t have the good technology as you have. But it was also mean it would be very important for them because getting more customer would be one of strong competitive force for them. This not…

The United States drug regulations are a joke. The only developed country I 've heard about that allows monopolies in the pharmaceutical world. Literally allowing them to set their own prices on drugs that have the capability to save one 's life. Recently, I did some research on EpiPens and their outrageous price hike. Knocking on the door on what we may think is unethical and inappropriate. Some may say that Mylan, the company behind the EpiPen cannot be blamed for their actions but in this…

Madhavi Sunder explores the rich connections between cultural production and human freedom. Sunder states that, “Intellectual property does more than incentivize the production of more goods, the law fundamentally affects the ability of citizens to live a good life”. This book takes a look at intellectual property and develops an understanding that peers further than innovation, and look to understand justice. Sunder believes that current intellectual property laws have been misused to stifle…

nutrients and lack of diversity within the competition of space and lack of predators. Despite these favourable characteristics, certain limiting factors prevented the organisms from inhabiting the site. Perhaps the most crucial limiting factor was the substrate. Since barnacles secrete an adhesive onto solid rock to withstand high velocity waves and remain sessile, a porous substrate disabled the organism to effectively attach itself to its substrate. Another factor was the competition…

Since we are in a drought, the flow was very slow, 0.096 ft/sec, and the water depth was low, and anyone could easily walk through the water. The stream’s banks and bank stability were strong and intact. The channel gradient was low and not steep, and the sinuosity was meandering/braided. The embeddedness of the rocks in the stream was about 25%. There was quite an abundant amount of vegetation, the dominant plant species were conifer trees, deciduous trees, and herbaceous. The riparian zone was…
