Various players participate in the governance of the Ramsar Convention. The Conference of the Parties (COP), which typically meets every 3 years, consists of the Convention’s Contracting Parties and holds ultimate decision-making authority. At each COP, Resolutions are adopted, providing instruction and guidance regarding the Convention’s implementation. Between COPs, the Standing Committee, consisting of Contracting Parties based on regional representation, exercises decision-making authority. The Convention’s Secretariat, which is located in Switzerland, provides administrative support, while the Scientific and Technical Review Panel is the Convention’s scientific advisory body. The Convention is further supported by International Organisation Partners, which are intergovernmental and non-governmental organisations. Ramsar operates largely through consensus and collaboration. Much of the Convention’s first 50 years focused on building institutional structures and developing technical guidance. Yet, as the Global Wetland Outlook indicates, the Contracting Parties have thus far failed to halt wetland loss and degradation.

A Contracting Party to the Ramsar Convention assumes certain obligations under international law: designation and conservation of wetlands of international importance (Ramsar Sites), wise use of all wetlands within its territory, and international cooperation regarding shared wetland resources, including species. Although it is a framework convention that lacks a formal enforcement mechanism, the Ramsar Convention influences domestic legal regimes in a number of ways. Its impact on domestic laws, policies, and practices for wetlands depends in part on whether a particular Party subscribes to a monist, dualist, or mixed approach to international law. In a monist system, Ramsar obligations, including those flowing from Resolutions agreed upon at the regular Conference of Parties, may apply directly within a domestic legal regime. Under a dualist approach, Ramsar obligations may require specific implementing legislation before they are effective within the domestic sphere.

This chapter is the first examination the world’s newest international court—the Unified Patent Court (UPC)—from the perspective of international law. Identifying the institutional tensions inherent in its architecture due to the close links to the European Court of Justice and national courts as well as its origins in the European patent law, the chapter elaborates the essential implications arising for the UPC by virtue of it being an international court and international law being its governing law. Drawing on the literatures on international regime interplay, functions and authority of international courts and business and human rights, as well as the experience of the investor-state dispute settlement, the chapter elaborates the salient interpretative choices that the UPC will need to make that will not only determine its day-to-day operation and case outcomes, but also the public perceptions of its authority and legitimacy. The chapter argues that if recent international legal scholarship and practice suggest anything, the UPC will be best served by an integrative approach to (its) international law—especially given patent law’s significant distributive effects.
