Venuti","doi":"10.2139/SSRN.2715658","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/SSRN.2715658","url":null,"abstract":"The impacts of climate change traverse almost all areas of public policy. It is the interdisciplinary nature of climate change implications that has global policy leaders calling for the realignment of public policy with climate goals in accelerating the transition to a low carbon economy. This mandates the consideration of avenues other than siloed climate change law-making and policymaking in order to effectively mainstream climate change considerations into already embedded and accepted regulatory regimes and policymaking processes. The inference or insertion of environmental rights protections offers just one mechanism by which this can take hold. This is because human rights that are inextricably linked to environmental qualities are directly impacted by climate change and thereby carry with them the recognition and consideration of climate change mitigation and adaptation in order for their full and proper protection. Development policy and law already imports social and environmental impacts considerations, and thereby offers a medium through which such environmental rights protections can be transported. It is on this basis that this article looks to an environmental rights justification for the reform of development law and policy in mainstreaming positive climate change action. Examining the capacity of Myanmar’s draft environmental impact assessment procedure to afford environmental rights protections by way of example, this article builds on the current trends in climate change law-making discourse in Southeast Asia; being one that includes the reconstruction of established regulatory frameworks to incorporate a climate change agenda.","PeriodicalId":41125,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Environmental Law","volume":"18 1","pages":"147"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68269440","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It sets out the Australian legal foundations on which Australian jurisdiction is currently being exercised for alleged breaches of Australian law applying to the Australian Antarctic Whale Sanctuary in the HSI v. Kyodo case. It then evaluates the exercise of Australian jurisdiction in light of the applicable international law. It accepts arguendo the factual basis of Australia's territorial claim in Antarctica, but nevertheless concludes that the extension of Australian jurisdiction over non-nationals in the purported Antarctic Australian Whale Sanctuary contravenes conventional and customary international law. In light of this conclusion, the article details the nature and importance of the ATS in order to highlight what is at stake by the challenged posed by the assertion of Australian jurisdiction. It then presents reasons why (in addition to illegality) the projection of Australian prescriptive, adjudicative and enforcement jurisdiction in what almost all other states consider the high seas off Antarctica is an unsound idea. The article concludes by arguing that the current Australian law conferring jurisdiction ought to be repealed.","PeriodicalId":41125,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Environmental Law","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2008-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68144981","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
