Historical Treaties entered into with Indigenous peoples are often a source of conflict. This conflict is connected to treaty implementation, which tends to be at the sole discretion of the domestic jurisdiction. Accordingly, a one-sided interpretation of a two-sided agreement is a problematic approach. This thesis will explore key concepts of Indigenous law, in relation to the historical Treaties made with the Crown. Particular emphasis will be on the Anishinaabe in Treaty No. 3 in Turtle Island, the State now known as Canada. Indigenous law will be grounded in widely accepted international law principles, which may allow for further insight by the Treaty partners. Through grounding the Indigenous perspective of the true spirit and original intent of the Treaties, explanation can be drawn out and further understanding between the parties will occur. Mutual understanding, along with respect, is part of the foundation to the reconciliation process of the relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples. / February 2016

Monarcas, procuradores das cidades, confessores e tratadistas alegavam que havia diversos excessos no vestir e adornar das mulheres que colocavam em risco não apenas a sua salvação e a de seus maridos, mas igualmente a ordem natural das coisas e o bem comum do reino. O desenvolvimento das cidades, a retomada comercial e a circulação de diversos bens, como os tecidos oriundos de outras regiões, propiciaram maior variação nas formas de se vestir e menor fixidez nos vestuários dos diversos estamentos que compunham a sociedade. Durante esse período, foram comuns as queixas e as críticas de que certas mulheres não deixavam transparecer seu interior, pois, ao se afeitarem em demasia e não se vestirem conforme a disposição dada por Deus, embaralhavam as referências, ficando predispostas ao vício, predispondo outros a pecar e favorecendo confusões entre os estados. Com o intuito de evitar tais faltas, foram estabelecidas, durante os dois séculos, diversas leis e regras por meio das quais as mulheres deveriam se guiar e serem guiadas por seus responsáveis para alcançarem um uso moderado, virtuoso e proveitoso dos vestidos e afeites. A partir dos problemas apontados em diversos escritos da época, normativos e edificantes, a proposta central da pesquisa é inquirir sobre os valores e as especificações que deveriam pautar a conduta das castelhanas no trato de sua aparência. / In the Castile of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, the garments and adornments of women have been targeted in a series of prescriptions aimed at their moralization. Monarchs, prosecutors of cities, confessors and treatises claimed that there were many excesses in dress and adorn of women that endangered not only their salvation and their husbands, but also the natural order of things and the common good of the kingdom. The development of cities, trade resumed and the movement of various goods such as tissues from other regions showed higher variation in forms of dress and less fixity in garments of various estates that made up the society. During this period, were common complaints and criticism that some women left not transpire inside, because when they adorned too much and did not dress as the provision given by God, they shuffled references, being predisposed to addiction, predisposing others to sin and favoring confusion between the states. In order to avoid such shortcomings were established during the two centuries, various laws and rules by which women should guide and be guided by their leaders to achieve a moderate, virtuous and useful use of dresses and adornments. From the problems identified in various writings of the time, normative and edifying, the central aim of this research is to inquire about the values and specifications that should guide the conduct of Castilian women in dealing with their appearance. / FAPESP: 2014/08232-0

The main ambit of this research is to seek to find a link between bilateral investment treaties and foreign direct investment. This offers a contribution on the ongoing debate on the effect of bilateral investment treaties on foreign direct investment. In order to analyze this debatable role of bilateral investment treaties on foreign direct investment a case study of the recently signed Bilateral Investment and Promotion and Protection Act between Zimbabwe and South Africa (BIPPA) is carried out with a special focus on Zimbabwe. The argument is BIPPA contains many rights which investors can use against the host. These clear outlined rules increase investor confident which will result in flows of investments to the host nation. The rules have a disciplinary effect upon the host. This is further qualified by the notion that BIPPA will have more effect on the Zimbabwean side were the government have to convince investors that their property will be protected. Domestic policies will be highlighted as being in conflict with investors rights. BIPPA can thus be used as shield to these domestic policies thereby encouraging foreign direct investment. These treaties however have their own cost effects which will be categorized as reputational, sovereignty and arbitration. Other issues such as the effect of bilateral investment treaties on development will also be deliberated on. / Dissertation (LLM)--University of Pretoria, 2010. / Centre for Human Rights / unrestricted

Foreign investment is mainly protected through national laws. However the wide-spreading network of bilateral investment treaties aims to ensure a certain standard of protection. These treaties demonstrate far-reaching implications at both treaty level and international level. The implications raise an important question as to whether bilateral investment treaties are coherent or not. Coherence can be viewed as an attempt to prettify the law and minimise the effect of politics which may leave the law incoherent. It is obvious that bilateral investment treaties need to be coherent for a number of reasons. Firstly, incoherent treaties may create problems in relation to the development policy of member countries. Secondly, coherence reassures that negotiators of such treaties would not encounter possible contradictions and inconsistencies amongst the countries’ agreement network as well as between the treaties and domestic laws. Thirdly, coherence is critical to treaty interpretation as it is necessary to avoid further complications which may arise from contradictory awards. The aim of this thesis is mainly to elucidate the meaning of coherence and use it to provide an understanding as to how coherent these treaties are. The coherence of bilateral investment treaties will be evaluated in a number of aspects: coherence between bilateral investment treaties and the fundamental principles of international investment law; coherence between bilateral investment treaties and their objectives of investment promotion and investment liberalisation; coherence within the bilateral investment treaties network; coherence between bilateral investment treaties and customary international law on foreign investment; coherence between bilateral investment treaties and free trade agreements; coherence between bilateral investment treaties’ obligations and non-investment obligations of states.

Canada and Taiwan have not entered into a tax treaty. Consequently, because each jurisdiction uses different connecting factors, that is 'residence' in Canada and 'income source' in Taiwan, double taxation may occur for individuals subject to tax in both jurisdictions. With the increasing number of Taiwanese immigrants to and investors in Canada, double taxation is becoming a significant problem. A treaty is probably the most efficient mechanism to resolve the double taxation problem. However, the political issue is how can a nation (Canada) enter into a treaty with a jurisdiction (Taiwan) that it does not recognize as a nation state? Despite facing the same problem, on May 29, 1996 Australia signed a tax agreement with Taiwan concerning the avoidance of double taxation and the prevention of tax evasion. The Australia-Taiwan Tax Agreement is unique because it was signed by two private sector organizations rather than by the respective governments. Using the same mechanism, New Zealand and Vietnam have signed tax agreements with Taiwan as well. This thesis analyses the likelihood of Canada entering into a tax treaty with Taiwan. In so doing, it considers how double taxation arises, reviews the foreign reporting rules and argues that a tax treaty between Canada and Taiwan is desirable. The conclusion is that, theoretically and pragmatically, a tax treaty (or agreement) between Canada and Taiwan is possible and needed in order to relieve punitive double taxation and to facilitate bilateral economic and trading relations between the two jurisdictions. / Law, Peter A.
