what difference would a binding international Legal Instrument on alcohol control make lessons from the world health organization framework convention on tobacco control s impact on domestic litigation
Social Science Research Network, 2020Co-Authors: Suzanne ZhouAbstract:Since the adoption of the World Health Organization (WHO) Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) in 2003, public health professionals have debated similar conventions covering other health risks, including potentially a Framework Convention on Alcohol Control. Much of this debate has focused on the merits of binding versus non-binding Instruments in terms of commitments at the international level. In this paper, I draw on lessons from the WHO FCTC to discuss instead what the difference between binding and non-binding international Legal Instruments might mean for domestic Legal frameworks for implementing regulatory measures for alcohol control. The paper looks at possible impacts on the authority of various national authorities to implement new measures, the ability of civil society to bring cases compelling more comprehensive regulatory measures and the defence of litigation brought by commercial-sector actors to prevent, delay or weaken the implementation of laws and regulations. It reflects on what lessons these might have for alcohol control governance.

the eu ukraine association agreement a new Legal Instrument of integration without membership
Kyiv-Mohyla Law and Politics Journal, 2015Co-Authors: Roman Petrov, Cuillaume Van Der Loo, Peter Van ElsuwegeAbstract:This article analyses the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement (EU-Ukraine AA). It argues that this new Legal framework, which has the objective to establish a unique form of political association and economic integration, is characterized by three specific features: comprehensiveness, complexity and conditionality. After a brief background of the EU-Ukraine relations, the following aspects are scrutinized: Legal basis and objectives, institutional framework and mechanisms of enhanced conditionality, and legislative approximation. In addition, constitutional challenges for the effective implementation of the EU-Ukraine AA are discussed. Based upon a comparison with other EU external agreements, it is demonstrated that the EU-Ukraine AA is an innovative Legal Instrument providing for a new type of integration without membership.

the eu ukraine association agreement and deep and comprehensive free trade area a new Legal Instrument for eu integration without membership
2016Co-Authors: Guillaume Van Der LooAbstract:In The EU-Ukraine Association Agreement and Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area Guillaume Van der Loo provides the first comprehensive Legal analysis of this complex and controversial international agreement. While key political and Legal hurdles towards the signing and conclusion of this agreement are analysed, its scope and contents are scrutinised and contrasted to other international agreements concluded by the EU. Specific attention is devoted to the ambitious “deep and comprehensive free trade area” and the unique provisions related to Ukraine’s approximation to the EU acquis. In particular, this book explores to what extent the agreement can be considered a new Legal Instrument for EU integration without membership.

international leases as a Legal Instrument of conflict resolution the shab a farms as a prototype for the resolution of territorial conflicts
Social Science Research Network, 2008Co-Authors: Noemi Galor, Michael J StraussAbstract:This paper looks at the Shab'a Farms – considered by the U.N. Secretary General as the linchpin excuse in the Hizb' Allah rhetoric justifying the destabilization of the Israel-Lebanon-Syria relationship. It contemplates the possibility of defusing a violent conflict by borrowing the lease – a Legal Instrument in domestic law of contract and real property and private international law – and turning it into a public international Legal device.
