University of Saskatchewan College of Law Lecture
"Bargaining for Biodiversity"
Speaker: Natasha Affolder, Associate Professor, University of British Columbia Law School
Location: College of Law, Room 150
Time: 12:00 noon

The glacial pace of international treaty negotiations (and inclination of countries to withdraw from those environmental treaties with which they are unwilling to comply) creates an appetite for quicker "fixes" to transnational environmental problems such as species extinctions or critical habitat destruction. Transnational conservation contracts have emerged as one such fix. These agreements -which include forest carbon agreements, conservation concessions, debt-for-nature swaps, conservation performance payments, and private protected area agreements - reveal an ongoing and intensifying trans-jurisdictional attempt to use private contracts to address some of the most pressing issues of common concern. To date, many of these agreements have been debated as a market tool. This talk situates these multi-leveled law-making attempts to protect species and habitats within the shifting architecture of international law.

Professor Kent Roach examines the failures of global anti-terrorism policies since 9/11 and analyses the impact of Resolution 1373 which urged countries to define terrorism and regard acts of terrorism as serious crimes. He will be speaking in part about his latest book, which examines anti-terrorism policies around the world, the rule of law, and democracy, as well as highlighting some of the excellent practices which are responsible for shaping global anti-terrorism policies, and 9/11's influence on present dealings of international law.
