Extractions: HOME DAILY QUOTE FOREIGN POLICY INDEX ... Short Answer Questions September 4, 1995 This is the full text of a Keynote Address by Senator the Hon Gareth Evans QC, Minister for Foreign Affairs, to the International Treaties Conference, Canberra, 4 September 1995. This conference on international treaties is certainly timely. Australia's involvement in treaty making is currently being examined in a number of forums; there is now a Senate Committee looking at the operation of the external affairs power in the Constitution; and there is legislation currently before the Parliament dealing with the effect of treaties on administrative decision making. I think there can be no doubt that treaties do have an important and developing influence on many aspects of Australian society and I want to examine their impact in a little detail. But first I think it would be useful to spend a few moments in considering what treaties actually are, and perhaps more importantly, what they are not . I feel constrained to do so because of the misinformation, some of it quite deliberately spread, which has clouded the whole issue of treaty-making over the last couple of years.
The Place Of Human Rights Treaties - In The Polish Legal Order The status in domestic law of international treaties ratified by Poland under The courts refused to do so, and referred to one provision of the trade http://www.ejil.org/journal/Vol2/No2/art7.html
Extractions: The Place of Human Rights Treaties - in the Polish Legal Order Zdzislaw Kedzia Full text available: PDF format The status in domestic law of international treaties ratified by Poland under the 1952 Constitution had its origins in Poland's policy toward international cooperation after 1945. The Polish Government shared with other socialist states a desire to keep a measure of distance from international law and its enforcement machinery, and this was reflected in the silence of the Polish Constitution as to the binding force of international law in the domestic legal order. The only provision of the 1952 Constitution which mentioned international law was Article 30(1)(8) which vested competence to ratify and terminate treaties with the Council of State, which was at the time the collegial head of state. This silence was not carried through to Polish legal theory which developed the concept of the ex proprio vigore binding force of international treaties within the domestic legal order. According to it, the ratification of a treaty by the Council of State (which acted

Extractions: What we are engaged in with this bill is a process of democratisation. Executive authorities have been slow to devolve treaty making powers to the people. In earlier centuries, when the King or Queen gave powers over the Parliament, he or she kept treaty making powers. Now many governments are reluctant to pass those powers over to the Parliament.

Extractions: I am disappointed that this bill will probably be voted down after this second reading debate, although I am optimistic that members will be convinced during the debate to change their minds, just as I am optimistic that Team New Zealand will probably come back from three down. I am very pleased that the bill has received serious consideration by the House and by the Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade Select Committee. Several proposals for improving Parliamentary oversight of international treaties were contained in the first Interim Report on the International Treaties Bill, which was discussed in Parliament late last year and there was a very constructive atmosphere in the Select Committee in producing these recommendations.

Extractions: Table of Contents p. 42 of 57 BACK NEXT I. The Changing Environment II. Driving Forces of Change ... IV. Toward Policy Integration In much of the Asia and Pacific region, economic growth has occurred in parallel with increasing economic integration into the global economy through foreign trade and international investment. In East Asia, export-led industrialization was the leading edge of the region's development strategy, and this is now the development model of most DMCs. Private investment sourced internationally is the dominant basis of capital for such development. International initiatives on trade and investment within the context of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and the WTO focus on further liberalization of trade and investment regimes. A parallel set of initiatives for trade liberalization is also slowly taking root under the auspices of ASEAN and other regional organizations. In this context of economic globalization, policy integration for trade and investment implies an open trade and investment regime, not necessarily an unregulated regime (see Box 4-5). Policies that encourage open trade and investment do not contradict policies that require all investors (foreign and domestic) to meet national environmental performance standards. Typically, this will involve developing in accordance with a master plan supported by EIA of all new investments. An approach of combining national environmental performance standards with support of open trade and investment will (in most cases) provide the best route to securing improvements in economic and environmental performance.

Extractions: 20 November 2000 Kia ora, Further to our last alert on the International Treaties Bill, 3 November 2000, the Bill has passed its first reading in parliament and has been sent to the Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade Select Committee for consideration. All parties except National voted in favour of the Bill going to Select Committee. The purpose of the Bill is to ensure that the NZ government will not be able to enter into international treaties without parliaments approval. This is in part to replace the existing Standing Orders which since 1998 have resulted in some international treaties (not bilateral treaties except at the Ministers discretion) being referred to parliament. Among other things, the International Treaties Bill 2000 provides for the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade to present to parliament the text of draft treaties which are under negotiation - this would assist in preventing the type of secrecy around some international agreements, such as the MAI which the then NZ government could have become a party to without anyone else knowing of its existence. If you require a copy of the Bill, please contact the PMA office and we can email, fax or post it to you.

Copyright And Related-rights Treaties And Laws There are five principal international treaties in force today that provide One of the important obligations of World trade Organisation (WTO) members http://www.ifpi.org/site-content/legal/treaties.html
Extractions: There are five principal international treaties in force today that provide protection for musicians and producers of recorded music. Under the international treaty system, a creative person or company that resides or releases a recording in any country that has ratified the treaty, is protected in all other countries that have joined the treaty. 1. Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works The Berne Convention, last revised in 1971, is the principal treaty protecting authors and composers of music. This treaty provides a list of rights enjoyed by these authors-such as the right to authorise or prohibit reproduction, public communication, or adaptation of these works. It also allows treaty countries to provide certain exceptions to protection. Some countries also protect producers of sound recordings as "authors" with Berne-type protections. The text of the Berne Convention can be found at

These transactions are subject to a myriad of laws, regulations, restrictions and special arrangements. This complex web of laws and regulations is comprised of unilateral measures, meaning national or domestic laws, and further complicated by the international law expressed in trade agreements. The first step when conducting research in international trade is to locate the relevant treaties . However, with the complexity of international trade transactions, the treaty alone is not enough. For thorough research, it is also necessary to locate These are just a few of the many different pieces of information needed in this complex and ever expanding area.

Thorough trade research requires the combined use of print, Internet, and microfiche sources. When relying upon any document or information obtained from the Internet, care should also be taken to ensure the accuracy, currency and authority of the information found.
