The issue of sovereignty over natural resources has been a key element in the development of international law, notably leading to the emergence of the principle of States’ permanent sovereignty over their natural resources. However, concomitant to this focus on States’ sovereignty, international human rights law proclaims the right of peoples to self-determination over their natural resources. This has led to a complex and ambivalent relationship between the principle of States’ sovereignty over natural resources and peoples’ rights to natural resources. This chapter analyses this conflicting relationship and examines the emergence of the right of peoples to freely dispose of their natural resources and evaluates its potential role in contemporary advocacy. It notably explores how indigenous peoples have called for the revival of their right to sovereignty over natural resources, and how the global peasants’ movement has pushed for the recognition of the concept of food sovereignty.

Gender Participation

The study was undertaken to examine the extent of women along with men participated in post-harvest activities; to identify the problems and constraints faced by them and find suitable solution from their perception. The post-harvest activities were estimated at farm level in Aman rice at Rangpur, Nilphamari, Khulna, Satkhira and Jessore district of Bangladesh by using survey data collected randomly from 270 rice growing households for the year 2012-13. It employed participatory approaches to investigate farmers’ perceptions on post-harvest management. The analyses shows women spends more time (591 hours ha-1) on PH activities than men (581 hours ha-1) but the ultimate decision maker of those activities are male indicating that women are very seldom given the opportunities to implement their ideas for execution although they are now gaining the right to give their opinion because of social awareness.J.

This article constitutes one contribution to the analysis of the conflict between theindigenous people and the governments through history in Colombia over the landsof resguardos or native indigenous reservation areas, focusing the attention in thelegal and political framework that rules these ethnic minorities' rights andespecially the right of prior consultation; understood as one of the reasons whichhas intensified the conflict between both parties in time specifically from thedecade of the 1990s. This study considers that this dispute between these bothparties is not only caused due to the contrary visions and perspectives over the land–and over the natural resources present in it– but also due to the presence ofcontradictions in the laws, policies, norms, decrees, etc., as the factors which havenot only extended for more than 400 years but also intensified the dispute amidthese two parties to the present day.

All natural objects (resources), which are declared as the absolute property of the Ukrainian people (all citizens) is established to be the main national wealth and the main unborrowed capital of the nation, including soils and other life-giving natural resources of Ukraine, which need rational use, require professional description, characteristics and classification (national accounting) in the process of institutional support for land reform in Ukraine. Emphasis is placed on the central character in ensuring the rational use of nature as an indispensable part of the constitutionally motivated requirements from the standpoint of national interests and each citizen in particular, which is recognized as «citizen-owner». It is proved that due to the unjustified absence for a quarter of a century of the constitutionally declared special Law of Ukraine «On the right to use natural objects of property of the Ukrainian people», which unpunished use of the nation’s capital. As a result, the rights, obligations and responsibilities of users of natural objects, as well as full-fledged requirements for their rational use and protection are not regulated on a paid basis according to the established regulations. This is especially true of fertile soils and other natural resources of the agrosphere. It is established that accomplished fact is cognitive land science and practice formulated by us in specific conditions of Ukrainian reality, which is the basis of our scientific and practical substantiation of institutional support for land reform in Ukraine as a new paradigm through «cognitive land economy» in terms of agri-environmental aspects.

Engineering education all over the world is of paramount importance as it is this education which provides economies with opportunities for development and growth. Engineering education is important for both developed and developing economies—for the former to maintain their lead position and for the latter to ensure decent livelihood and utilization of natural resources. In such a situation, engineering education needs to continuously upgrade itself to meet the ever changing needs of the economy, society, and mankind. Hence, understanding engineering education and reviewing the methods and standards are important if all stakeholders have to be satisfied. With the driving force of the globalization of the engineering profession, adopting project-based teaching methods have mutual recognition across the world, and also help to develop the right graduate attributes while continuing to assure the standards and quality of engineering education.

AbstractThis article examines the compatibility of the extraterritorial application of unilateral legislation with the project of international law. Focusing on two instruments, the Dodd-Frank Act passed by the United States Congress and intended to regulate the activities of US listed companies operating in the Congo and the EU conflict minerals legislation, the article challenges their underlying premises that revenues from natural resources perpetuate conflict and resulting human rights abuses. In so far as these instruments make no provision for meaningful participation by the foreign populations which are the objects of legislation, it is argued that there is a tension between these unilateral instruments and the basic premises of law-making in international law as a democratic enterprise centred around governmental representation. By exclusively directing sanctions and other disciplinary measures at rebels, both legislative instruments have the problematic effect of strengthening the exploitation of natural resources by kleptocratic regimes and undermining the right of populations in conflict zones to civil disobedience as an inescapable component of their right of self-determination.

There is widespread consensus among environmental scientists that a holistic understanding of how natural resources are managed effectively at different scales requires a solid grasp on the functioning of governance institutions that link human users to the biophysical world in which they are embedded. Societies exist within complex social-ecological systems, in which the social and ecological components are tightly connected in systematic, but often hard to understand, ways. Institutions are, in essence, the lubricant that mediates the relationship between the two components; without the right institutions in place, no human society can tackle environmental problems successfully. Needless to say, the variation of societies and ecological systems around the world is vast and rich, which makes the study of institutional diversity and its effect on the management of natural resources both fascinating and daunting. From the rules to manage small-scale indigenous fisheries to the treaties to tackle global climate change, humans craft and enforce institutions to avoid “tragedies of the commons” that result when the prevalence of individual interests leads to the mismanagement (and sometimes sheer complete destruction) of resources that are open to multiple users. This article serves as an introductory guide for scholars and students with an interest in understanding how social scientists have researched institutions and their role in constraining human behavior in search of sustainable uses of natural resources. Sections cover research focusing on the definition, creation, development, evolution, and performance of institutions, as well as the operation of institutions at different scales and in different topic areas.
