According to visiting lecturer from the Netherlands, Jan van Ettinger who delivered a public talk at Valletta late last year, -on Climate and Climate Change, with special reference to the Oceans in general and the Mediterranean Sea in particular, "global warming is a man-made phenomenon, it leads to introduction of energy (heat) into marine environment" which has some deleterious effects. These effects are mentioned by the Barcelona Convention under the definition of 'pollution'; these are such effects "as harm to living resources, hazards to human health, hindrance to marine activities including fishing, impairment of quality for use of sea water and reduction of amenities.

Abstract: The international efforts to safeguard the global climate have led to a dynamic process aimed at developing a legal regime which will ensure the adequate and effective protection of mankind against the adverse effects of climate change caused by human activities. The purpose of this study is to review the main developments which have occurred since the Government of Malta took the initiative to raise the question of climate change at the 43rd Session of the United Nations General Assembly. The problem of climate change is a complex and intricate one. Clearly it is impossible, in this study, to discuss or even attempt to deal with the scientific aspects of the issue. In this respect, the reader would do well to refer to the proceedings of conferences and scientific literature which have dealt with the phenomenon of climate change. 1989-01-01T00:00:00Z /library/oar/handle/123456789/64075 Title: An introductory approach to a comparative and theoretical study of some basic legal concepts in Russian (Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic) criminal law Authors: Schembri Bonaci, Giuseppe Abstract: This comparative essay is also an objective criticism of a Soviet school of law and its western counterpart, both believing that substantially, Soviet law is no law at all: the former manifests this belief through its supposition that Soviet law is radically and principally a new 'substantia', a completely new 'essence'. Thus, this school rejects any possibility of evolution, of transformation, of mutual influence between different cultures. This attitude was greatly enhanced after the 1917 revolution by the dogmatic classist character of this school which in fact successfully changed old terminology to a new one; thus the RSFSR Criminal Code of 1922 excludes the concept of 'mens rea' and the concept of punishment but only by means of new terminology i.e. measures of social protection having a judicial-corrective character took the place of the term 'punishment'. But as correctly asserted by Pashukanis E.B. this did not change the essence of facts. 1989-01-01T00:00:00Z
