The "Tragedy of the Commons" in Plant Genetic Resources: The Need for a New International Regime Centered Around an International Biotechnology Patent OfficeThe last several centuries have seen a transformation in the ways in which wealth is generated. As society has transformed itself in the postindustrial era, "knowledge" and "information," as opposed to land and physical property, have increasingly become the primary sources of wealth generation. For example, historically, it was ownership of the forest that was the principal channel for the derivation of riches. Today it is the possession of the patent in the pharmaceutical product derived from the leaves of the trees of the very same forest that is the fountain from which the greatest wealth springs. It is not surprising, therefore, that the strategy of wealth maximization has shifted from the desire to accumulate physical property to one in which the domination of intellectual property rights ("IPRs") has become preeminent.

International Human Rights Law Challenges to the New International Criminal Court: The Search and Seizure Right to PrivacyLate in the evening of Friday, July 17, 1998, at a United Nations facility in Rome, Italy, after five weeks of indefatigable, strained negotiations, 120 nations endorsed a treaty to establish a permanent International Criminal Court (ICC) to sit in the Hague, Netherlands with jurisdiction to try perpetrators of genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and aggression. The Court will be established after sixty states have adhered to the Rome Statute, and will function fully after the Assembly of States Parties adopts collateral documents, including the ICC Rules of Procedure and Evidence and the ICC Elements of Crimes, finalized drafts of which were approved at the conclusion of the fifth session of the Preparatory Commission for the Establishment of an International Criminal Court.

International Incidents: Introduction to a New Genre in the Study of International LawThe scene is Beijing. You are an international political adviser to the government of the People's Republic of China (PRC). The news dominating the cable traffic is that Argentina has invaded the Falkland Islands. Even though the invasion is on the other side of the planet, in a region in which the PRC is not directly involved, you will follow the events there with great interest for the next several weeks. Some of your colleagues will be concerned about the military dimensions of the conflict, for example, problems encountered in launching amphibious attacks on well-defended island positions, establishing supply lines over long distances, and using weapons in hostile natural environments. But you will be absorbed in quite a different aspect of the matter: the reactions of the international community to the unilateral assertion by a continental nation of a right to seize an offshore island.
