Issues with the The Hague-Visby and Hamburg Rules

In this essay I will be critically analysing an article and report on the relationship between Australian law and International law, reflecting on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and whether it ensures the safe guard of human rights for future generations.

Every business organization has a social responsibility in ensuring that the environment it operates in is protected. Many companies have identified that they have a major role to play in protecting the natural habitat and ensuring that business is not only about making profits. Some organizations are setting aside funds that are developed in the protection of the environment while other organizations are setting a tree-planting day as part of their annual calendar. Companies have legal and ethical responsibilities that guide the organization in making sure that the environment is taken care of. The natural resource depletion and the environmental pollution have led to conservation groups setting rules that govern the company in utilizing natural resources.

The Navigation Act of 1651 was made to trade goods between England colonies and the rest of the world. England was running a tight supervision on imports and exports. As the act states “No goods or commodities whatsoever of the growth, production or manufacture of Asia, Africa or America”, basically no one else can bring goods into the colonies besides English boats. Only the English boats can leave pick up and ship out goods. But they did make and exception-- goods can be brought in by the main manufacture from its original place of production. This was the only way other ships besides the English were able to enter to trade with the colonies. This was to limit and have control over all goods importing and exporting to and from England and its colonies. I would say this not only being in control but to be informed of no mistakes for protection of the English colonies.

In a 6-3 opinion favoring the United States, Justice Black wrote the majority opinion. He stated that the act of limiting the rights of any particular racial group should always be subject “to the most rigid scrutiny” by courts of law. These acts, however, are not necessarily in violation with the Constitution. In wartime, national security and public necessity are exposed and these threats of dangers may justify the restriction of certain rights. It is true that these restrictions forced hardships upon American citizens, yet that is sometimes the price you pay in wartime. In this case, the need for protection of national security outweighed Korematsu’s rights.

Uniformity in the law governing the international sales of goods became important. The United Nations Commission on International Trade Law developed contract rules for the sale of goods. The United States adopted in 1988, the Convention on the International Sale of Goods (CISG). Most of the major trading nations use the CISG. Countries that have adopted the CISG, replaced the UCC when a dispute between businesses takes place between different countries.[24]

One of the foundations of arbitration is that awards rendered are final and not subject to appeal before the courts. In this respect, Article 5 of the UNCITRAL Model Law provides for minimal intervention, and says, “In matters governed by this Law, no court shall intervene except where so provided in this Law“. As a result, the grounds upon which a court may set aside an award or refuse to recognize and enforce the same are limited. Article 34 of the Model Law and Article V of the New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards provide the restrictive grounds for such relief.

The first world law was the Geneva Protocol.This law “prohibits the use of "asphyxiating, poisonous or other gases, and of all analogous liquids, materials or devices" and "bacteriological methods of warfare". It was named the “Geneva” Protocol because it was written into place in Geneva, Switzerland on June 17th 1925. But problems arose as it did not ban production and storage of the weapons.
