While it is too early to make any predictions as to how this new stream of interregional cooperation will impact or perhaps even modify power relations in the pursuit of international organisation, it is a significant development in global affairs.

The Directive is part of the EU’s wider green agenda and will support the EU’s efforts regarding sustainability. The core idea behind the proposed Directive is ensuring transparency regarding the claims being made by ensuring such claims are based on accessible and verifiable evidence.

Central to the WHO's tobacco control efforts is a Framework Convention on Tobacco Control. Tobacco smuggling is a major contributor to the global epidemic. This article examines the necessity of a proposed protocol on the suppression of smuggling to the Framework Convention and suggests essential elements for a model protocol.]

ASEAN now finds itself at a major point in its development as it begins to move from a loose cooperation arrangement towards the furthering of legal integration and the increased involvement of the organisation in the process of governance. This process has been building for a number of years and took a major step with the 2006 Report of the Eminent Persons Group on the ASEAN Charter (ASEAN Charter Report) which set out a bold vision for the future of the organization and directly addressed a number of crucial issues regarding democratic governance in the region. The recommendations in the Report were substantial for the importance given to the promotion and protection of democracy and human rights in the context of preserving the social and cultural characteristics of the region based on the idea of a people-or...

For the most part, approaches to international criminal justice focus either on the state or on the possibilities of the International Criminal Court. What has been missing is attention to the regional level of analysis. This paper considers the potential of regional arrangements in the international criminal justice system. The view being asserted here is that regional arrangements possess a myriad of characteristics that place them in a unique position for effectively furthering a system for international criminal justice that is responsive and relevant to the varying needs and desires that exist in the international community.

This characterisation is used to explain how Hezbollah, while not formally operating in Germany, has been able to conduct supportive actions—such as raising money, organising activities, recruiting members, and gathering information in support of its cause—while not facing any substantive scrutiny. The organisation is able to take advantage of the open society that exists in Germany in order to generate support for their actions and extremist ideology.
