Regional Trade Agreements (RTAs) have proliferated at an unprecedented pace since the creation of the World Trade Organization (WTO). Although the WTO legally recognizes countries’ entitlement to form RTAs, neither the WTO nor parties to RTAs have an unequivocal understanding of the relationship between the WTO and RTAs. In other words, the legal controversies, the result of uncertainty regarding the application of the WTO/GATT laws, risk undermining the objectives of the multilateral trade system. This thesis tackles a phenomenon that is widely believed to be heavily economic and political. The thesis highlights the economic and political aspects of regionalism, but largely concentrates on the legal dimension of regionalism. The main argument of the thesis is that the first step to achieving harmony between multilateralism and regionalism is the identification of the legal uncertainties that regionalism produces when countries form RTAs without taking into account the substantive and procedural aspect of the applicable WTO/ GATT laws. The thesis calls for the creation of a legal instrument (i.e. agreement on RTAs) that combines all of the applicable law on RTAs, and simultaneously clarifies the legal language used therein. Likewise, the WTO should have a proactive role, not merely as a coordinator of RTAs, but as a watchdog for the multilateral system that has the power to prosecute violating RTAs. The author is aware that political concerns are top priorities for governments and policy makers when dealing with the regionalism problematic. Hence, legal solutions or proposals are not sufficient to create a better international trade system without the good will of the WTO Members who are, in fact, the players who are striving to craft more regional trade arrangements.

The principle of party autonomy is widely accepted in the practice of international commercial arbitration. However, it still encounters certain limitations in its applications, especially for the fact that the demands of natural justice and the public good cannot be neglected by the parties. The various states in the international system have and operate peculiar systems of mandatory rules and public policies, which tend to impart significantly on the arbitral procedure, thereby creating a situation of discordance of outcomes of arbitration in different countries. For this reason, this writer intends to examine ways by which the various procedural laws can actually be harmonised. This thesis shall therefore focus on the discordances and confusion that often arise in the interacion of the various laws that may be applicable to the arbitral process in International commercial arbitration, as well as ways of achieving a harmonisation of these laws.

Emerged from own specific needs and problems of maritime Salvage, legislated in TTK.m.1222-1234, which has been originated from the German law. The source of German law inthis subject is the Convention dated 1910 in which Turkey is also a party. Turkey has not beenparty of the protocol in 1967 added to Convention dated 1910. Being a party to LondonConvention 1989 is necessary. Because Convention 1989 is the last convention to solvedeveloping and changing salvage techniques and problems from a legal perspective atinternational level.One of the problems of salvage payments is about how to calculate.

« Tout ce qui entre dans le cerveau, à part le sang, est de l’information. Porter atteinte à l’information, c’est porter atteinte au cerveau. » Basé sur les plus récentes découvertes scientifiques, le Manifeste pour le droit à l’information établit les fondements biologiques de ce droit et affirme la nécessité de le reconnaître comme un droit fondamental antinomique de la traditionnelle liberté de presse. Une analyse détaillée des textes législatifs canadiens et québécois ainsi que de nos structures médiatiques prouve que la jouissance de ce droit est loin d’être garantie. S’inspirant de législations étrangères, des rares décisions jurisprudentielles et de reconnaissances partielles dans certaines lois spécifiques, l’ouvrage plaide pour une véritable institutionnalisation de ce droit afin d’instaurer un authentique régime démocratique. Le Manifeste pour le droit à l’information s’adresse à tous, qu’ils soient journalistes, juristes ou citoyens sou­cieux de la qualité de l’information qui leur est quotidiennement livrée.
