Mr
Martin
Jones
Visitor
Osgoode Hall, York University Toronto
I will be conducting research and developing a proposal concerning the reform of the governance of international refugee law. One hundred and forty seven states and one international agency are required to implement and enforce the rights contained in the Convention relating to the status of refugees of 1951. However, unlike other treaties, there is no meaningful complaints or dispute resolution mechanism to ensure compliance. At present there is no meaningful formal legal process by which to reconcile conflicting policies and judicial decisions between sovereign jurisdictions; the resulting differences in interpretation undermine both the legitimacy of the regime and its ability to provide protection to refugees. My research will endeavour to assess the current situation and to suggest possible solutions.

Mr
Gary
Lynch-Wood
Lecturer in Law and Regulation
School of Law, University of Manchester
Mr Lynch-Wood is undertaking research into environmental regulation and suggests that it is poorly aligned to the environmental response capabilities of the firm. This view arises from evidence that firm size has a significant influence on the factors that affect the way firms respond to environmental pressur, and that regulators rarely accomodate such differences in their regulatory strategies. Mr Lynch-Wood's work has led to the development of a resource-based model of envirmonmental regulation that is responsive to firm differences.
