Thank you very much!

Thank you! The UK has a couple of climate laws and policies, but none of these specifically order Shell to reduce its local or global emissions. A case was filed against Shell's board of directors in the UK, inspired by the Dutch court's decision. However, this case was dismissed (see: www.clientearth.org/latest/news/we-re-taking-legal-action-against-shell-s-board-for-mismanaging-climate-risk/).

@@madhusanadhya2514 Hey! Thank you for your comment. Transitioning from political science to a PhD in law could be tricky but it is certainly not impossible. Did you try to use some of the tips I gave in the video about the application phase? For instance, are you making a list of all the scholars you would like to work with around the world and reaching out to them?

Thank you! It was a rookie attempt from a while ago :D

Thank you, I’m glad you like it! New videos are coming soon, so please stay tuned 🤩

Hi, congrats on the master's degree! And thanks for the suggestion, I will consider it for a new video :) Good luck with the process, don't give up!

Hi there! Do you mean a PhD supervisor or a mentor who will support you in getting into a PhD programme? If you are looking for professors who can be your PhD supervisor, you can simply find them online and email them. As for a mentor who can facilitate your applications, there might be paid professionals who can help but I am not aware of any personally. Good luck!

Hi! Perhaps my first video on applying for PhDs as an international student can help a bit: ua-cam.com/video/56KrTM4yDJU/v-deo.html

If you have more specific questions, I am happy to do a short call to help answer them

@@pop-uplaw thank you for the video link. I'm sure it will be very helpful for me but in case i need further guidance i will surely knock your door. Thank you so much for your kind response 😀

Soon :) Thank you so much for your patience!

Many thanks. My PhD thesis will be published as a book open access by Brill in December 2022. More Info available at: brill.com/view/title/63227

@@pop-uplaw can you please share the details of how to publish the article in any reputed publications

@@gargibanerji8458 thanks Gargi, that can be the next video!

Thanks Dr Anqi Wang 😊 Also, thank you for your recommendation about the video - minute 5 is attributed to you!

Thank you 🤩 hope you liked it!

Thank you so much, it is great to hear that you liked it!

Thank you! It’s interesting to hear that you agree with the right to travel! And yes, beard like Hugo Grotius sounds like a credible plan!

Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you, hope you enjoyed!

Thank you for the question. I’m not in a position to give you a good answer, it depends on the particular situation the person is in. Universities usually have (free) mental health support centres which can be really useful.

@@pop-uplaw Thanks for the reply, i understand. The problem is that I can't even give a good interview to get into one. Panic attacks caused me to forgot some things that they've asked me about my subject. It was embarrassing to be honest, LoL. I think i need mental health support even before taking interviews. I don't know how it will work for me. Since the pandemic is over, i don't have any excuses left for not doing PhD anymore. Lol.

@@AdvaiticOneness1 Mental health is like physical health - it requires continuous work. Hope we can all find (or make) the time and space to feel healthy!

Soon, as a nice holiday gift!

Thank you for that insightful comment! Perhaps you would be interested to join the Torres Strait Islanders, who recently sued the Australian government over climate change! The decision is pending and the whole world is watching!

That’s a great question, thank you! Technically speaking, territorial borders might have been determined as a result of a peace treaty following WW1 or WW2, or sometimes it can date back to a treaty between colonial powers. For instance, in a territory dispute between Botswana and Namibia, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) referred to a treaty between Germany and Great Britain concerning the disputed territory. Maritime delimitation can be as tricky - the ICJ decided on the border in the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean sea between Costa Rica and Nicaragua, by interpreting a treaty from 1858, supported by expert opinions. In a nutshell, countries agree on borders through diplomatic means, and in case that doesn’t work, they always have a court to go to!

Absolutely! How we structure "government oversight" is still a point of debate. One idea is that there should be an international body that oversees the mining process. Another idea is that each country should oversee their own citizens (including companies). The Moon Treaty calls for a common heritage approach, which ideally leads to establishing an international body. We are already following this legal structure for deep seabed mining - the International Seabed Authority is organising, regulating and controlling all mining-related activities in the deep seabed. So it is not left to the discretion of individual countries. What do you think about these two ideas? Do you think we should establish an international body to oversee outer space mining, or is what the US, Luxembourg and the UAE doing a better approach?

@@pop-uplaw I think it should be an international body, as this would keep the regulations consistent for everyone. Otherwise, you end up with potential disputes out in space because country X allows something that a company from country Y isn't allowed to do. That, or companies build/buy subsidiaries in another country so they can do things under the rules they prefer. This also gets the arguments over what should and shouldn't be allowed in space potentially worked out before they can become a problem in space. There will probably always be disagreements, whether in an international body or in space, but maybe doing it this way will help keep things stable in space so companies feel more comfortable spending the large amounts of money to do things there.

Thank you for sharing your opinion! I agree btw!

Glad you enjoyed it!

YES!

The increasing trend is to utilise the experience of the "on-Earth mining companies" to encourage "off-Earth mining". For instance, in Australia, the Off-Earth Mining Forum brought together space companies and mining companies to lead activities in this new frontier. Luxembourg set up the European Space Resources Innovation Centre, and the community includes mining companies. My interpretation is that we will see investors from the mining sector increasingly interacting with the space sector to engage in outer space mining.

@@pop-uplaw Let's hope Elon Musk and Gina Rinehart team up to make trillions of dollars in space! The Lord knows they deserve it!

Thank you very much! What year are you in? Congrats for getting started 👏👏

In my 4th year now. Started in 2018. My masters professor suggested me a few places to apply. :)

@@TheQqoq good luck! The last year is the hardest, hope you have a good support mechanism to count on 🙏 let’s keep in touch!

@@pop-uplaw Thank you. I have great support in my faculty. :-) Have given you a follow on Twitter!

Hey! Learning how to make a video has been a real journey. I had a problem with the mic, but now I figured out what caused the problem :) So my new videos should have good audio. Thx so much for your opinion, keep on sharing criticisms pls, they help me to grow!

Thank you for watching! :)

Especially the edit...

Dr. Who?

Oh wow! Okay, an episode about the legal governance of Antarctica is coming soon! :)

Thank you! The Paris Agreement only relates to climate change and aims to limit the global temperature increase to 2 degree Celsius in this century. There are other international/regional/bilateral treaties concerning the environment. Alongside customary international law, these treaties make up the international standards in relation to protecting our environment. The integration of these standards to investment treaties is relatively recent and follows the raising awareness on the environmental damage that can be caused by investors' activities at the host State. Stricto sensu, the Paris Agreement creates the obligation on States to prepare "nationally determined contributions". It does not create obligations for investors or the private sector. However, by way of determining their nationally determined contributions, States will surely develop policies that will impact investors. I hope this answer helps!

Thank you!

Thank you! Yes, in the case of the Netherlands, we can talk about four influential domestic cases. Here’s the database of the Sabin Centre on that, which might be helpful: climatecasechart.com/climate-change-litigation/non-us-jurisdiction/netherlands/
