In an earlier article, we analysed the actuality and potential of participation at the international level, or more specifically: at the level of the United Nations (un). Is there a demand for public participation in the work of the United Nations, and if so, who has such demands? And how should the un meet these demands? In this article we will apply the theory presented in the first article to a case study: global public participation in the drafting process, at the un, of the Sustainable Development Goals will be examined and assessed against the findings uncovered in the first article

One Treaty to Apply Them All? Defining Maritime Terrorism by Cross-References and Reservations: The ASEAN Region Example

Defining terms will shape a State’s treaty obligations, the domestic legislation necessary, the availability of cooperative mechanisms, and norm diffusion. Maritime terrorism is an umbrella term referring to the piecemeal approach of treaties creating offenses for identified acts at sea. Further treaties cross-reference the offenses in a selection of global instruments to create related offenses. This includes financing of terrorism (Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism (ICSFT)) and regional maritime terrorism (ASEAN Convention on Counter Terrorism (ACCT)). All cross-referenced instruments shall apply to define ICFST or ACCT offenses unless a State excludes, by reservation, a cross-referenced instrument to which it is not Party. This article identifies the impacts of reservations to ACCT and ICSFT on defining terrorism offenses in the ASEAN region. In practice, eight impacts of varying concern to operationalizing jurisdictional cooperation are identified. Going forward, defining offenses via cross-references and reservations may require rethinking

“Nationals” at Forty: From an Undefined UNCLOS Term to Due Diligence Obligations on the State of Nationality to Combat IUU Fishing

Illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing represents a global common concern, incorporating large-scale and highly mobile environmental, economic, and sometimes criminal, concerns. IUU fishing can result in dysfunctional fisheries governance, including through the non-application of relevant conservation and management measures. Non-application results, in part, from both incomplete implementation and insufficient enforcement by flag, coastal, port, and market States, and the States of nationality. This article focuses on the State of nationality that may exercise territorial and extraterritorial prescriptive jurisdiction on the basis of the active personality principle of jurisdiction. Firstly, global instruments have long held the State of nationality as a complementary means of eliminating IUU fishing, but State practice has been previously limited. The obligations of the State of nationality have been increasingly emphasized in successive instruments as well as the treaty interpretations provided by international organizations and international courts and tribunals. Secondly, regional fisheries management organizations and arrangements have matched these global developments by equally expanding their active personality-based practice concerning IUU fishing. Thirdly, States have been implementing their obligations to exercise active personality-based jurisdiction by prescribing and enforcing domestic laws. By bringing the State of nationality to the forefront this article will demonstrate the increasing relevance of this jurisdictional actor to protect the global commons from common threats, despite its often-overlooked status in fisheries literature

Quantifying Processing Map Uncertainties by Modeling the Hot-Compression Behavior of a Zr-2.5Nb Alloy

Compression dilatometer tests were used to study the hot deformation response of a zirconium (Zr)-2.5% niobium (Nb) alloy over the temperature range 650°C to 850°C and strain rates of 10−2.5 s−1 to 10+1 s−1. A high number of test conditions was used (72, with every test duplicated) in order to assess how differences in data processing influence the resulting relationships among flow stress, temperature, and strain rate. Particular attention was paid to processing maps, showing strain-rate sensitivity over the processing domain, commonly cited in the field and widely used as a basis to determine optimum processing conditions. Significant variations in these maps were found to depend on the number of data points included and the fitting procedure used to smooth the data. A finite element model of the test demonstrates the order of the corrections that can be required to the flow stress and the consequent processing maps due to friction at the platen-workpiece interface and nonuniform temperature and deformation in the test piece. Changes in crystallographic texture, measured using electron-backscatter diffraction, illustrate the effect of temperature, strain, and strain rate on the deformation, phase transformation, and recrystallization mechanisms. A significant spread in response arises as a result of variation in microtexture among samples and the tendency for flow to localize, giving rise to scatter in the measurements and generating artifacts in the processing map. Although the processing map methodology is strongly affected by experimental uncertainty, a detailed analysis of the final microstructures in the test samples shows similar features to those produced during industrial-scale processing, providing insight into the deformation mechanisms in dual-phase Zr-Nb alloys
