Quantifying and Simplifying the 1997 UNWC’s Guidelines to Mitigate Hegemony in Transboundary Watercourse Negotiations

The 1997 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Non-navigational Uses of International Watercourses (UNWC) contains a negotiation framework for transboundary water rights. However, it is a subjective document open to a wide range of possibilities and interpretations. Water Rights Allocations (WRAs) as described by Dinar and Nigatu (2013) and Dinar and Tsur (2017) provide a limited number of quantifiable allocation possibilities based on the UNWC. It is suggested that this methodology streamlines the negotiation process and reduces the effects of hydro hegemony. These methodologies are explored and applied through a case study on the Orontes River Basin.

Rule of Law at the National and International Levels: A Review from the Global Governance Perspective

The rule of law as a fundamental means of global governance has two levels, the national and the international. The national rule of law and the international rule of law, defined by their respective concepts, orientations and fimctions, address governance issues at the national and international levels. Interdependent, they are linked effectively by two core factors of the rule of law： ＂good law＂ and ＂good governance.＂ Between them is an ongoing process of interaction, a basic expression of their unified relationship. The framework of their interaction comprises three basic elements： individual states and the national rule of law; the international community and the international rule of law; and the medium of rule of law interaction. This interaction is two-way, cyclical, diversified, comprehensive and incremental.

Therefore, we should learn from the world＇s marine legislation and practice which the archipelagic waters system was written into China＇s marine legislation.

A Reassessment of Diplomatic Interactions and Islamic Laws of Nations in The International System

The discourse on the evolution of the principles of international laws and laws amongst nations have always taken a Eurocentric approach.The common argument and perspectives is that contemporary international law evolved from the Christendom to the Spanish School and Grotius,while downplaying the influence of the Islamic law of nations in shaping issues of acculturation,accommodation,rules of engagement in war relating to international law.This paper tends to x-ray and investigate the impact of the Islamic law of nations,from the the Treaty of Hudaibiyyah to the Siyar of Muhammad ibn Shaybani.It tries to highlight the relevance of the Muslim East and its concrete contributions to Laws and treaties of the Middle Ages to recent times and also argues,using existing literature,that the European Christian society only adopted what already existed in the Muslim,Islamic laws and tried to Christianise them overtime.The paper finds that further investigation and interrogation will reveal much more of the influence of the Islamic laws on contemporary laws of relations amongst nations and beyond.

A Security Model and Legal Guarantee for Chinese Maritime Shipping： As Exemplified in the Response to Piracy along the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road

The Belt and Road Initiative is an important decision for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Maritime security has a significant place in this process. In recent years, there have been frequent violent terrorist incidents at sea, including piracy, armed hijackings and terrorist attacks, posing a dire threat to both international and Chinese maritime transport interests and seriously challenging the fulfillment of the maritime part of the ＂Belt and Road Initiative.＂ Five direct measures can be taken to protect ocean shipping from violence at sea. One example is the defensive measures taken against the Somali pirates. The employment of armed guards from professional security companies on board ship is an effective model for guaranteeing maritime security; it not only meets the standards of international law, but is also legally permitted in many developed countries and regions, and is thus strategically significant for overall Chinese maritime security. In the Chinese context, this model carries its own legal risks. We should embrace a new approach to national security law, strengthen legal guarantees and make concerted efforts to provide warship （military aircraft） escorts to jointly build an optimum model of Chinese maritime security in order to ensure the realization of core Chinese maritime interests.
