Legal Publications & Insights
A curated collection of legal articles, policy papers and reports authored or co-authored by our team at Marsol Lawyers & Consultants.
The Deep Sea Mining (DSM) industry is widely regarded as a potential source of significant revenue and socio-economic benefits for the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI). It could play a key role in advancing national efforts toward greater economic self-sufficiency. Accordingly, the establishment of robust regulatory frameworks is of critical importance.
Scientific surveys conducted within RMI’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) — through collaborations such as the KORDI-USGS and Japan-SOPAC partnerships in 1989, 1996, 1998, and 2002 — have identified substantial deposits of cobalt-rich crusts (CRC). These deposits exhibit notable thickness and valuable concentrations of metals, including cobalt, nickel, platinum, copper, and manganese. While these findings indicate that the RMI’s EEZ holds among the highest potential for CRC resources in the Pacific region, further exploration and analysis are still required.
Sustainable management of deep sea mineral activities: a case study of the development of national regulatory frameworks for the Republic of the Marshall Islands
This paper gives an account of the domestic incorporation of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in the Marshall Islands. It is a personal reflection with some critiques and comments on some of the work involved in the process of translation of the Convention into domestic law. It first looks at the accession to the international convention; second, it reviews the formulation of policy which drives legislative measures and social policies; third, it discusses the legislative review and compliance process to finetune the national legislative framework; and fourth, it describes the adoption of a comprehensive non-discriminatory law in compliance with the Convention.
The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (‘Convention’) and its Optional Protocol were adopted on 13 December 2006, and were opened for signature on 30 March 2007.
It was described as ‘the highest number of signatories in history to a UN Convention on its opening day’.
Unfortunately, this was less inclusive of the Asia-Pacific countries: the region was considered to have the lowest rate of signatures and ratification of the Convention (UNESCAP 2015).
