From Corporate Social Responsibility to Accountability Mechanisms:The Role of the Convention on Biological Diversity
This paper traces the progressive shift at the international level from purely voluntary approaches (corporate social responsibility or CSR) towards accountability mechanisms to ensure the environmentally sound conduct of private entities. It examines whether the most recent international discussion on human rights and corporate accountability have adequately considered environmental protection concerns. It then concentrates on the growing number of international oversight mechanisms that provide a readily-available and impartial avenue for addressing complaints against private companies..

Signature of Quantum Hall Effect Skyrmions in Tunneling: A Theoretical Study
We present a theoretical study of the tunneling characteristic between
two parallel two-dimensional electron gases in a perpendicular magnetic field
when both are near filling factor . Finite-size calculations of the
single-layer spectral functions in the spherical geometry and analytical
expressions for the disk geometry in the thermodynamic limit show that the
current in the presence of skyrmions reflects in a direct way their underlying
structure. It is also shown that fingerprints of the electron-electron
interaction pseudopotentials are present in such a current.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figur
