| Summary/Abstract |
Every year thousands of North Koreans illegally cross into China to escape the abject poverty and oppression that is endemic in their home country, and many are captured by Chinese authorities and returned to their homeland where they face harsh repercussions. To avoid culpability under international law, China maintains that the North Koreans are not refugees but rather "economic migrants," and that therefore they do not qualify for protection under the 1951 United Nations Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees. This paper examines this argument and concludes that it is invalid.

| Summary/Abstract |
Taking the Anglo-Turkish Trade and Navigation Treaty, concluded in March 1930, as its focal point, this article investigates the relations between Turkey and Britain after the signing of the Treaty of Lausanne and suggests that the failure of the British government to understand the fundamental importance of economic independence for the governing elite of the new Turkish republic, combined with its conviction that the Turkish economy was failing, undermined Britain’s ability to assess developments in the country and to position itself accordingly.

| Summary/Abstract |
THIS AUGUST will mark the first anniversary of the adoption of the Convention on the Legal Status of the Caspian Sea. The heads of the coastal states unanimously regarded the signing of the "Caspian Sea Constitution" at the Fifth Caspian Summit in Aktau on August 12, 2018. as a historic and extraordinary event. Russian President Vladimir Putin called it epochal. The completion of more than 20 years of negotiations on the main Caspian treaty, coupled with the signing of intergovernmental documents on cooperation in the fields of economy, transportation, incident prevention, combating organized crime, terrorism, and the work of border agencies, opened a new chapter in the history of the Caspian Five regional mechanism.

THE CONVENTION on the Legal Status of the Caspian Sea signed a year ago, in August 2018 at the Fifth Caspian Summit in Aktau (Kazakhstan), clarified the future of the Caspian region and offered the littoral states more chances of economic cooperation.

| Summary/Abstract |
This paper argues that the Aarhus Convention on Access to Environmental Information, Public Participations in Decision Making and Access to Environmental Justice is an international environmental convention whose rationale can be partially explained by its potential to reduce the incidence of social conflict caused by environmental change or changes to the environmental caused by industrial and/or scientific and technological development. This particular rationale of the convention is explained with reference to contemporary social conflict induced by environmental politics in the Republic of Ireland.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article provides an assessment of the efficiency and efficacy of Sri Lanka's legislation Marine Pollution Prevention Act No. 35 of 2008 (administered by the Marine Environmental Protection Authority/MEPA), for protecting Sri Lankan waters from pollution. Although there are provisions to control pollution - from ships, harbors/ports, any facility used by ships and offshore petroleum exploration projects - and to deal with offences, imposing both criminal and civil liabilities for offenders, there are some serious loopholes. This includes failure to address land-based pollution sources, unclear provisions for ballast water disposal and no consideration for pollution from other offshore projects, etc. The Act requires significant amendments considering the international conventions pertaining to marine pollution control, both ratified and unratified by Sri Lanka. The success of amending the Act must also be monitored by MEPA with other government agencies implementing the international instruments dealing with marine environmental monitoring ratified by Sri Lanka.
