Item Implementation of Biological Diversity Conservation Treaties in China(Bishop Stuart University, 2023) Kabaseke, CharlotteBiological Diversity, among its very diverse advantages has been pointed out as key for achieving environmental sustainability. It has however been noted that biological diversity across the globe is being depleted. The international community responded by developing several international treaties for biological diversity conservation, including the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and the Ramsar Convention. China is very rich in biological diversity and is party to the Conventions. In addition, China has in place several laws as well as protected areas to ensure the conservation of biological diversity. This notwithstanding, China still faces biological diversity depletion. This has been attributed to among other factors, over population and industrialization. This article therefore seeks to critically analyze the efficacy of the CBD and Ramsar Conventions is ensuring Biological Diversity Conservation. The paper further analyses the extent to which China has achieved its obligations under the conventions. The paper concludes that the treaties, whereas a very good development, have some weakness. In addition, whereas China has done well in meeting its obligations under the treaties, it still faces some challenges. The article among others recommends that China should embrace public participation in ensuring biological diversity conservation. In achieving its objectives, the article adopts the doctrinal method of research.Item IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CONVENTION ON THE PROTECTION OF THE WORLD CULTURAL AND NATURAL HERITAGE(Journal of International and Comparative Law (JICL), 2020) Kabaseke, CharlotteWorld heritage is fast being depleted especially in the face of urbanization and climate change and there is urgent need to preserve and protect it. International law provides for the preservation and protection of the different forms of heritage. States are therefore obligated to protect the different forms of heritage within their territories. The World Heritage Convention was enacted for the preservation and protection of world heritage but it has had some challenges, among them, implementation at domestic level. Whereas both China and Uganda have ratified the convention, they are both still facing implementation challenges. Employing the doctrinal and comparative legal methods, the paper seeks to examine the efficacy of the World Heritage Convention in preserving world heritage. The paper further seeks to comparatively examine the extent to which China and Uganda have domesticated and implemented the convention. A conclusion is drawn that China has performed much better than Uganda in domesticating as well as the preservation of the world heritage within its jurisdiction. Uganda as well as other countries facing similar challenges as Uganda has great lessons to learn from China. Recommendations are made on how Uganda can improve her own situation.
