Security and its Challenges in the 21st Century
By the year 2000, a balance was sought between security requirements and a respect for privacy, as well as for individual and collective freedoms. As we progress further into the 21st century, however, security is taking precedence within an increasingly controlled society. This shift is due to advances in innovative technologies and the investments made by commercial companies to drive constant technological progress. Despite the implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) within the EU in 2018 or 2020’s California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), regulatory bodies do not have the ability to fully manage the consequences presented by emerging technologies. Security and Its Challenges in the 21st Century provides students and researchers with an international legal and geopolitical analysis; it is also intended for those interested in societal development, artificial intelligence, smart cities and quantum cryptology.
Financial Compliance
This book explores the fundamental elements and risks that impact the compliance officer’s work. Following a comprehensive understanding of the role of a compliance officer, by engaging with themes of compliance officers’ liability, expectations, risks and effectiveness, it provides practical answers by leading academics and practitioners in the field. This work also draws on how other areas, such as GDPR, financial regulation and whistleblowing, challenges on compliance officers and provides a way forward to convert these challenges into opportunities. The discussion of compliance challenges and practices in Australia, Europe and the United States provides critical insights into the development of compliance in today’s financial environment. Financial Compliance: Issues, Concerns and Future Directions provides an invaluable working resource for academics, practitioners and a general audience interested in understanding and developing an effective compliance culture.
Democratising Globalisation
Propounded by James Tobin in the 1970s, the Tobin tax would have levied a small amount from all currency transactions globally. This would have the effect of moderating speculation. It didn't take off but the author believes there is a way to make it work.
Implementing the Nagoya Protocol
The adoption of the Nagoya Protocol on Access and Benefit-sharing to the Convention on Biological Diversity in 2010 is a major landmark for the global governance of genetic resources and traditional knowledge. The way in which it will be translated into practice will however depend on the concrete implementation in national country legislation across the world. Implementing the Nagoya Protocol compares existing ABS regimes in ten European countries, including one non-EU member and one EU candidate country, and critically explores several cross-cutting issues related to the implementation of the Nagoya Protocol in the EU. Gathering some of the most professional and widely acclaimed experts in ABS issues, this book takes a major step towards filling a gap in the vast body of literature on national and regional implementation of global commitments regarding ABS and traditional knowledge.
The European Union, Emerging Global Business and Human Rights
Emerging and developing states are home to powerful corporations capable of deploying economic activities on a global scale through the rapid pace of technological change and globalisation. But such corporations have to date been largely overlooked in the field of business and human rights. Treatment of such corporations has typically been in the context of supply chain studies, as subsidiaries of corporations from economically developed Western states. This book takes a radically different approach. It aims to investigate the conditions under which the European Union and its Member States regulate and remedy human rights violations by corporations from emerging and developing states. Stemming from the hypothesis that the EU intends to play a central role, Aleydis Nissen explores how the EU and its Member States attempt to ensure that EU-based businesses are not undercut by emerging competition, drawing on global examples to illustrate this developing phenomenon.
Rapport d'information de la commission des affaires européennes sur les propositions de directive relatives aux garanties procédurales en faveur des enfants soupçonnés ou poursuivis, à l'aide juridictionnelle provisoire et au renforcement de certains aspects de la présomptnocence et du droit d'assister à son procès dans le cadre des procédures pénales
La Commission européenne a déposé le 27 novembre 2013, dans le cadre de la feuille de route sur les garanties procédurales en matière pénale du 4 décembre 2009 et du programme de Stockholm, un ensemble de trois propositions de directive relatives : - au renforcement de certains aspects de la présomption d'innocence et du droit d'assister à son procès dans le cadre des procédures pénales ; - à la mise en place de garanties procédurales en faveur des enfants soupçonnés ou poursuivis dans le cadre des procédures pénales ; - à l’aide juridictionnelle provisoire pour les suspects et les personnes poursuivies privés de liberté, ainsi qu’à l’aide juridictionnelle dans le...
Rapport d'information sur les négociations internationales relatives au changement climatique
Moins d’un an après son adoption le 12 décembre 2015 à l’issue de la COP 21, et quelques mois après la cérémonie de signature organisée à New York le 22 avril 2016, l’Accord de Paris a donc pu entrer en vigueur dès lors que le seuil des 55 pays émettant 55% des émissions avait été franchi. Il s’agit là d’un signe très positif, qui montre la volonté des États de prolonger l’élan donné à Paris, et d’une performance inédite. La ratification du Protocole de Kyoto avait en effet pris plusieurs années. La question du financement sera centrale pour la COP 22 : si l’Accord de Paris en dessine les grands principes, ceux-ci doivent à présent être déclinés de ...
