Essex Public International Law Lecture: The regime of international straits
Recorded on 17 May 2021
Essex Public International Law Lecture: The regime of international straits - freedoms, rights and obligations at stake.
About the lecture
International straits have always been important and strategic shipping routes for sea communication and world trade. Therefore, they received special attention by the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea which tries to balance the different and opposing interests that are centred around straits: those of States using the straits and those of coastal States of the straits. The point of equilibrium has been reached with the introduction of the new regime of the transit passage in addition to the pre-existing regime of innocent passage and through an articulated set of rights and obligations of coastal States bordering the strait...

Former gangster turned youth mentor | Generation Grit | The Straits Times
Drug dealing, doing the dirty work for loan sharks, peddling bootleg VCDs and fighting - these vices used to be all in a day's work for Mr Kenneth Tan. The realisation that he does not want to spend his life in jail or dying like his gang leader, who was stabbed to death in what appeared to be a revenge attack, made him change. Religion also played a part in making him turn over a new leaf. From a gangster who had chopped off a rival gang member's hand in a fight at the age of 15, Mr Tan is today an entrepreneur who is active in church and a mentor to troubled young people.

Lyrics:
a lovestruck romeo sings a streetsusss serenade
laying everybody low with a lovesong that he made
finds a convenient streetlight steps out of the shade
says something like you and me babe how about it?
juliet says hey it’s romeo you nearly gimme a heart attack
he’s underneath the window she’s singing hey la my boyfriend’s back
you shouldn’t come around here singing up at people like that
anyway what you gonna do about it?
juliet the dice were loaded from the start
and i bet and you exploded in my heart
and i forget i forget the movie song
when you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong juliet?
come up on different streets they both were streets of shame
both dirty both mean yes and the dream was just the same
and i dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real
how can you look at me as if i was just another one of your deals?
when you can fall for chains of silver you can fall for chains of gold
you can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold
you promised me everything you promised me thick and thin
now you just says oh romeo yeah you know i used to have a scene with him
juliet when we made love you used to cry
you said i love you like the stars above i’ll love you till i die
there’s a place for us you know the movie song
when you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong juliet?
i can’t do the talk like they talk on tv
and i can’t do a love song like the way it’s meant to be
i can’t do everything but i’d do anything for you
i can’t do anything except be in love with you
and all i do is miss you and the way we used to be
all i do is keep the beat and bad company
all i do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme
julie i’d do the stars with you any time
juliet when we made love you used to cry
you said i love you like the stars above i’ll love you till i die
and there’s a place for us you know the movie song
when you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong juliet?
a lovestruck romeo sings a streetsuss serenade
laying everybody low with a lovesong that he made
finds a convenient streetlight steps out of the shade
says something like you and me babe how about it?

Recorded on 17 May 2021
Essex Public International Law Lecture: The regime of international straits - freedoms, rights and obligations at stake.
About the lecture
International straits have always been important and strategic shipping routes for sea communication and world trade. Therefore, they received special attention by the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea which tries to balance the different and opposing interests that are centred around straits: those of States using the straits and those of coastal States of the straits. The point of equilibrium has been reached with the introduction of the new regime of the transit passage in addition to the pre-existing regime of innocent passage and through an articulated set of rights and obligations of coastal States bordering the straits whose interpretation pose a continuous challenge to scholars and practitioners.
About the speaker
Ida Caracciolo: Judge of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, Full Professor of International Law and President of the MA Course in “International Relations and Organizations”, University of Campania “Luigi Vanvitelli”, Member of the Permanent Court of Arbitration, Alternate Arbitrator in the Court of Conciliation and Arbitration of the OECD, member of the Italian Branch of ILA, the European Society of International Law, the Italian Society of International Law, the Italian Society for International Organization.
About the Essex Public International Law Lecture Series
The Essex Public International Law lecture series is founded, hosted and co-chaired by Dr Meagan Wong and Dr Emily Jones based in the School of Law. This is a weekly lecture series featuring judges of international courts and tribunals, leading academics, and practitioners of international law from governmental service, international organizations, and private practice from across the globe. The series prides itself on building on two important intellectual traditions of international law: formalism and international legal practice, and international legal theory including postcolonial and feminist perspectives.

Drug dealing, doing the dirty work for loan sharks, peddling bootleg VCDs and fighting - these vices used to be all in a day's work for Mr Kenneth Tan. The realisation that he does not want to spend his life in jail or dying like his gang leader, who was stabbed to death in what appeared to be a revenge attack, made him change. Religion also played a part in making him turn over a new leaf. From a gangster who had chopped off a rival gang member's hand in a fight at the age of 15, Mr Tan is today an entrepreneur who is active in church and a mentor to troubled young people.

SPH (Singapore Press Holdings Ltd), the company, our company, is paying the legal fees and has engaged the lawyers and we will continue to support Ching Cheong and his family during the appeal process."
13. Various, Straits Times newsroom
STORYLINE:
Members of a support group for a Hong Kong reporter sentenced on Thursday by a Chinese court to five years in prison on charges of spying for rival Taiwan, said he would appeal against the ruling.
Ching Cheong a Hong Kong-based correspondent for The Straits Times, was detained in April 2005 during a visit to the mainland and for months the government released little information, prompting an outcry by Hong Kong journalists and press freedom groups.
Ching plans to appeal, said Paul Lai, a member of a Hong Kong support group. David Hui, another member of the group, said Ching's wife, Mary Lau, viewed the verdict as "unacceptable".
"She considers her husband as patriotic and he wouldn't do any harm to the country nor something against the interest of the country," Hui said.
Ching's conviction came a week after a Chinese researcher for The New York Times was acquitted of espionage charges but jailed for three years
on a fraud claim.
In one of the first official explanations of the government's case, the state-run Xinhua News Agency said that Ching was convicted for selling
unspecified "state secrets and intelligence" to a Taiwanese foundation that was really a spy agency. Xinhua said Ching contacted the foundation, which it didn't name, while working as a reporter in Taiwan.
The company that publishes The Straits Times expressed concern at Ching's sentence and defended his behaviour as a journalist.
Straits Times editor Han Fook Kwang, speaking in Singapore on Thursday said that the company which owns the newspaper, Singapore Press Holdings Ltd (SPH) would support Ching Cheong and his family during the appeal process.
President Hu Jintao's government has engaged in a sustained effort to tighten control over media and information, seeing a more aggressive,
freewheeling press as a threat to its authority.
