Full text linkPublic Apology is recognized as a form of reparation for victims of gross violations of international human rights law and international humanitarian law, alongside other measures, such as monetary compensation and restitution. This paper aims to analyze the effectiveness of public apologies as a form reparation and in doing so, discusses several cases and forms of public apologies. More specifically, this paper extensively analyzes the effectiveness of the public apologies made by the Netherlands to Indonesia, in respect of the post-independence atrocities committed by the Netherlands in Indonesia, during the period of 1945 – 1949. The cases discussed in this paper reveals that the effectiveness of a public apology as a form of reparation varies from cases to cases and depends on a host of factors. The past practice of States which had delivered public apologies for human rights abuses, however, shows that public apology alone is not enough to be an effective form of reparation for the victims of gross human rights violations. In most cases, public apologies must be accompanied by other types of reparations to give effective redress to the victims of human rights violations
Safety Zones Around Offshore Installations
Full text linkIn order to protect offshore installations and reduce the risk of accidents, which results in marine pollution, certain areas around offshore installations are designated as exclusion zones and precautionary areas. Article 60 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) of 1982 recognizes the right of coastal states to establish exclusion zones around offshore installations. These zones should extend to a distance not exceeding 500 m from each point of the outer edge of the installation. Also, Resolution A.671(16) of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) (Safety Zones and Safety of Navigation around Offshore Installations and Structures) recommends that governments consider, amongst other things, the establishment of safety zones around offshore installations or structures as well as the establishment and charting of fairways or routing systems through exploration areas. In this regard, this study analyzes the effectiveness of the safety zones prescribed by law in protecting oil installations. It concludes that although UNCLOS 1982 does not stipulate the establishment of safety zones around offshore installations constructed in the territorial sea, the coastal state has a right to establish safety zones in such locations, and its radius may extend beyond 500 m if it is necessary to protect the offshore installation in the territorial sea.

The ‘Declared Areas’ Offence: To What Extent Does Australia’s Policy Response to Foreign Fighters Undermine Freedom of Movement?
Full text linkThe rise of foreign fighters is increasingly becoming an issue of global significance. Numerous figures suggest that over 20000 foreign fighters have joined the fight in Syria and Iraq in the four first years of conflict (Neumann, 2015). Between 2014 and 2015, deaths in Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) nations escalated from 77 to 577, half of them committed by the Islamic State (IS) (Institute for Economics and Peace, 2016:40). Australia’s concern for its national security has led to substantial developments in enacting severe counter-terrorism laws, such as the Counter-Terrorism Legislation Amendment (Foreign Fighters) Act 2014 (Cth) (‘the Foreign Fighters Act’). Given the undeniable intrusion of counter-terrorism laws into human rights, this paper will evaluate and question the necessity and proportionality of this new Act and in particular, the introduction of the ‘declared areas’ offence in sections 119.2 and 119.3 of the Criminal Code. This offence criminalizes entering or remaining in ‘declared areas’ in certain foreign locations with a very limited list of exemptions (Williams, 2014:1). This paper will argue that this offence is likely to impermissibly infringe upon the right to freedom of movement, which can only be restricted in very few cases. Accordingly, the main question of this paper is; ‘to what extent is justified and proportionate the infringement on the freedom of movement placed by the 'declared areas' offence created by the ‘Foreign Fighters Act’?’ Finally, the author will advocate that to guarantee it’s compliant with its international human rights obligations, the Australian Government must rely upon the independent assessment and recommendations of review bodies
