    • The Abkhazian Conflict: A Study on Self-determination and International Intervention 

      Lott, Alexander (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      The Crimean conflict in 2014 followed in many respects the pattern of Russia’s previous interventions in a neighbouring state – e.g., the 2008 Georgian conflict. Yet its similarities with the forgotten Abkhazian conflict in 1992–1993 are not widely acknowledged. The principal aim of the study presented was to determine whether Abkhazia had the right to claim statehood and to examine Russia’s actions ...
    • I hvilken grad bør domstolene og rettsvitenskapen utvikle ulovfestede regler på formue- og immaterialrettens område? 

      Løtveit, Bjørn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-03)
      Immaterialretten og den tradisjonelle formueretten har i lang tid hatt et tilknytningsforhold, og dette tilknytningsforholdet har blitt styrket i det siste. Dette skyldes særlig at det i deler av immaterialretten har blitt innført tingsrettslige regler om rettsvern, ekstinksjon og prioritet, basert på det som gjelder for rettighetsregistrering knyttet til fast eiendom. Møtet mellom disse rettsområdene ...
    • Rethinking the Encounter Between Law and Nature in the Anthropocene: From Biopolitical Sovereignty to Wonder 

      De Lucia, Vito (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-22)
      The rise of the idea of the Anthropocene is promoting multiple reflections on its meaning. As we consider entering this new geological epoch, we realize the pervasiveness of humankind’s deconstruction and reconstruction of the Earth, in both geophysical and discursive terms. As the body of the Earth is marked and reshaped, so is its idea. From a hostile territory to be subjugated and exploited through ...

    • New Russian Legislative Approaches and Navigational Rights within the Northern Sea Route 

      Solski, Jan Jakub (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2021-12-13)
      <p>The regulation of foreign navigation in the Northern Sea Route (NSR) has been dominated by the rules of international law applicable to merchant ships only. Neither the domestic set of rules of navigation on the NSR, based on Article 234 of UNCLOS nor the Polar Code applies to State-owned vessels. While the application of Article 234 has so far let Russia evade discussion on the navigational ...

The traffic has gradually picked up, and although the expectations of a significant surge in trans-Arctic navigation have ...
    • Sámi Law: A Methodological Approach 

      Labba, Kristina (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-12-09)
      Sámi law is the law of the Indigenous Sámi people. The territory where Sámi have historically lived is called <i>Sápmi</i> and encompasses parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia. This article builds on the premise that Sámi law exists in Sápmi, in parallel with national laws.

      Ravna, Øyvind (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2020-11-19)

Retten til restitusjon eller gjenoppretting er i rettslig sammenheng det internasjonale rettssamfunnets regel for å reparere den urett folkegrupper er blitt utsatt for ved urettmessige beslag av landområder. I denne ...

      De Lucia, Vito; Nickels, Philipp Peter (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-12-09)
      Negotiations are ongoing to develop an international legally binding instrument (ILBI) under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) on the conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction (BBNJ). If adopted, the ILBI will likely apply to parts of the Arctic Ocean where the Arctic Council has played an important role for ocean ...
    • Snow Crab in the Barents Sea: Managing a Non-native Species in Disputed Waters 

      Henriksen, Tore (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-12-09)
      The introduction of a new species to the Barents Sea raises questions as to the rights and duties of states under the law of the sea to exploit, manage and conserve the species. This paper discusses three of them. The first question is whether the snow crab qualifies as a sedentary species. The entitlements and competence of states in respect of living marine resources depend on the location and the ...

    • Den grenseoverskridende reindriften og beiterettighetene 

      Ravna, Øyvind (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-22)
      Den samiske reindriften er basert på reinens naturlige vandringer mellom vinterens lavbeiter i innlandet og sommerens grøntbeiter ved kysten. Etter at landegrensen mellom Norge og Sverige ble fastlagt i 1751, har mange samer måttet krysse statsgrensen med sine dyr for å opprettholde sin næring. Etter unionsoppløsningen i 1905 har den grenseoverskridende reindriften vært gjenstand for forhandlinger, ...
