چکیده
The Group is representative of the world’s geographic regions and differing legal systems, eg. civil law and common law. It contains an immense wealth of experience, energy and enthusiasm. What was notable at the Nairobi planning meeting of judges was the spirit of cooperation and the acknowledged need for urgency in order to maintain the momentum generated by the Johannesburg Global Forum. The Chief Justice of South Africa addressed the Plenary Session of the 22 Session of the Governing Council of UNEP on 3 February 2003. He reported on the progress and outcomes made by the Judges’ Ad Hoc Planning meeting which had then just concluded. The UNEP Governing Council unanimously adopted the Decision entitled ‘Follow-up to the Global Judges’ Symposium focusing on Capacity Building in the Area of Environmental Law’. The resolution of the Governing Council (for the full text see p. 95) included the following: Noting with appreciation the convening of the Global Judges’ Symposium on the Role of Law and Sustainable Development in Johannesburg, from 18 to 20 August 2002, with the participation of over 122 high-ranking judges from more than 60 countries around the world, and noting the adoption by them by acclamation of the Johannesburg Principles on the Role of Law and Sustainable Development as a contribution from the Global Judges’ Symposium to the World Summit on Sustainable Development, and the presentation of the Johannesburg Principles to the SecretaryGeneral of the United Nations by the Chief Justice of South Africa,

متن کاملHeterogeneous Functionalization of Polyethersulfone: A New Approach for pH-Responsive Microfiltration Membranes with Enhanced Antifouling Properties
In this work, 2,2’-azo-bis-butyronitrile (AIBN) was exploited as an initiator for the successful bulk heterogeneous functionalization of polyethersulfone (PES) using polymethacrylic acid (PMAA), for the first time. To this end, pH-responsive and exceptionally low fouling membranes of extremely low grafting degrees with low adhesion and high rejection of protein were fabricated. An added advanta...
