Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The delimitation of boundaries between states can be difficult when the issue of sovereignty and the entitlement to claim sea areas are concerned. The understanding and interpretation of the rule of law will always differ for the different nations involved as they seek to secure the maximum benefits for themselves by means they deem appropriate to their needs. Arguments put forward by each party and how these boundaries are drawn are always points for contention; however with rule-based procedures, the process is made more transparent and somewhat helps mitigate tensions. We hope the article on this will throw some light on the various issues involved.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an increasingly complex and interlinked world, Malaysia’s dependence on the seas will continue to be shaped by a multitude of new, constantly evolving and multifaceted issues and challenges. Claims and counterclaims of maritime features and territories, the jostling for influence and space among naval powers, depletion of marine resources, pollution of the oceans and marine environment, climate change, sea level rise, impact of global economic vagaries on the maritime industry will continue to dominate Malaysia’s maritime agenda. These issues demand nuanced responses to ensure our manifold maritime interests are not compromised and the regional seas remain open for our use and for the benefit of the international community. Confronting and addressing them require proactive, creative and well thought-out policies and positions to safeguard national economic, sovereign and strategic interests, and to ensure our seas remain clean, safe, secure and bountiful for current and future use.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Special focus: Passage of Foreign Fishing Vessels and Enforcement Regimes of Coastal States with Reference to Malaysian Practice Description: The creation and widespread adoption of 200 nautical miles (nmi) of exclusive economic zone (EEZ) under the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) represents a dramatic geographic and functional expansion of coastal states’ (refer to all the international conventions) jurisdiction – probably the largest transfer of resources to national jurisdiction in history. These zones cover about 36 per cent (%) of the surface of the seas, 90% of fisheries, and 43% of the value of the world’s “ecosystem services”. Thus, to undertake conservation measures and sustainable exploitation of fisheries and other living resources, which provide livelihoods for more than 59.5 million people and a main source of animal protein for 40% of the eight billion global population, the coastal states are empowered to undertake enforcement measures as provided by Article 73 and, to a certain extent, Article 111 in harmony with Article 300 of UNCLOS. Bearing in mind that an enhanced monitoring, control, and surveillance (MCS) on the marine fishing operation is an important tool in fisheries law and enforcement, this paper specifically discusses contentious issues of whether foreign fishing vessels (FFVs) and foreign vessels involved in fisheries-related activities (FVFRAs) enjoy the absolute right of innocent passage and freedom of navigation or limited navigational rights in all maritime zones —including the continental shelf of coastal states as provided by various articles in the UNCLOS — or they are bound to comply to the respective coastal states’ domestic laws, that is, through notification or authorisation as a mandatory requirement from relevant coastal states’ authorities, prior to entering and exiting any of their maritime zones. In addition to that, this paper also focuses on the effectiveness of enforcement measures under Section 16 of the Malaysian Fisheries Act 1985 (as amended) by relevant Malaysian maritime enforcement agencies against FFV for the failure to notify, and similar application of domestic laws and practices by other coastal states and issues related to “creeping jurisdiction” in relation to fisheries-extended jurisdiction under the notion of “territorial temptation” of coastal states.

Download or read book Lifestyles and Feeding Biology written by Martin Thiel and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-04-09 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second volume in the Natural History of the Crustacea series examines how crustaceans-the different body shapes and adaptations of which are described in volume 1-make a living in the wide range of environments they inhabit, and how they exploit food sources. The contributions in the volume give synthetic overviews of particular lifestyles and feeding mechanisms, and offer a fresh look at crustacean life styles through the technological tools that have been applied to recent crustacean research. These include SEM (scanning electron microscope) techniques, micro-optics, and long-term video recordings that have been used for a variety of behavioral studies. The audience will include not only crustacean biologists but evolutionary ecologists who want to understand the diversification of particular life styles, ecologists who follow the succession of communities, biogeochemists who estimate the role of crustaceans in geochemical fluxes, and biologists with a general interest in crustaceans.

Download or read book Guidelines for the management of symptomatic sexually transmitted infections written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2021-07-15 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The WHO global health sector strategy on sexually transmitted infections, 2016–2021, endorsed by the World Health Assembly in 2016, aims to eliminate STIs as a public health threat by 2030. In 2019, WHO published estimates of new cases of chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis and trichomoniasis. Recent changes in the epidemiology of STIs and progress in prevention, diagnosis and treatment of STIs and HIV have necessitated changes in approaches to STI prevention and management. To address these STIs, the most widely used approach in clinical settings is the syndromic management of STIs. In most resource-limited settings, the syndromic management flow charts are still the standard of care where laboratory diagnosis is not available or is hard to access. The objectives of these guidelines are to provide updated, evidence-informed clinical and practical recommendations on the case management of people with symptoms of STIs; and to support countries in updating their national guidelines for the case management of people with symptoms of STIs. These guidelines include the management of symptomatic infections related to urethral discharge syndrome, including persistent urethral discharge syndrome; vaginal discharge syndrome, including persistent vaginal discharge; anorectal infection; genital ulcer disease syndrome; and lower abdominal pain syndrome. These guidelines are intended for programme managers for STI prevention and control at the national level and the health-care providers at the frontline – primary, secondary and tertiary health care.

Download or read book Valuing Climate Damages written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2017-06-23 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The social cost of carbon (SC-CO2) is an economic metric intended to provide a comprehensive estimate of the net damages - that is, the monetized value of the net impacts, both negative and positive - from the global climate change that results from a small (1-metric ton) increase in carbon-dioxide (CO2) emissions. Under Executive Orders regarding regulatory impact analysis and as required by a court ruling, the U.S. government has since 2008 used estimates of the SC-CO2 in federal rulemakings to value the costs and benefits associated with changes in CO2 emissions. In 2010, the Interagency Working Group on the Social Cost of Greenhouse Gases (IWG) developed a methodology for estimating the SC-CO2 across a range of assumptions about future socioeconomic and physical earth systems. Valuing Climate Changes examines potential approaches, along with their relative merits and challenges, for a comprehensive update to the current methodology. This publication also recommends near- and longer-term research priorities to ensure that the SC- CO2 estimates reflect the best available science.
