Theorizing Ocean Governance: A Framework combining Governance, Science, and Law
(Book; Bok, 2024)Ocean governance is emerging as a field of study drawing on and combining different knowledge domains, including governance, science, and law. Assumptions of these three knowledge domains and their relationships are rarely discussed. This study attempts to contribute to such discussion by theory-building: investigating the governance-science and governance-law interfaces in an ocean governance ... -

Beyond equilibrium thinking: dynamic area-based management tools in a changing ocean
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-07-15)Area-based management tools (ABMTs), including marine protected areas (MPAs) are often static and fail to reflect the dynamic realities of marine ecosystems. Marine ecosystems are characterized by their embodiment of constant change, which is further amplified by anthropogenic stressors, particularly climate change. ABMTs and MPAs are, however, premised on an implicit assumption of environmental ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-03-09)Tromsø-konvensjonen er den første internasjonale konvensjon som sikrer allmennheten rett til innsyn i offentlige dokumenter. Konvensjonen trådte i kraft 1. desember 2020.

Regulating shipping under conditions of uncertainty: The Arctic Ocean and knowledge-based decision-making.
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023)This paper discusses the role of scientific research in regulating shipping in Arctic waters. Scientific research is a major provider of knowledge relevant to environmental protection, including that of the marine Arctic. Put bluntly, scientific research is essential in identifying an environmental ‘problem’, in providing an adequate diagnosis, and in prescribing solutions to the problem. In other ... -
Children’s Health Matters in Custody Conflicts: Best Interests of the Child and Decisions on Health Matters
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023)This chapter addresses conflicts of interest that might arise when there are ongoing custody disputes and, in particular, how legal instruments can be used where parents disagree regarding a decision concerning a child’s health.

The Application of Teachings by the International Court of Justice, 2016–2022
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-13)This article examines the application of teachings by the International Court of Justice between 2016 and 2022. The Court did not cite teachings in its majority opinions during this period. It did cite works from the International Law Commission, which suggests that these are considered different from teachings and possibly have more weight. Judges cited teachings in their individual opinions. Judge ... -
Three Perspectives on Marine Life in International Disputes
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-07)This article charts three different approaches that international courts and tribunals have taken to marine life. Some have viewed marine life primarily as an economic resource, worthy of conservation only in order to ensure future exploitation. Others have seen marine life as an object of conservation in its own right. Yet others have tried to balance the two perspectives. The article also examines ... -
Utviklingen av det dualistiske prinsipp i norsk rett
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023)Denne artikkelen kartlegger utviklingen av det dualistiske prinsippet i norsk rett. Artikkelen finner et skille ved avgjørelsen i Rt. 1997 s. 580 OFS, og prinsipputtalelsen om at norsk rett går foran folkeretten ved motstrid. Denne ser ut til å ha avklart av rettstilstanden. Før avgjørelsen var det usikkerhet og uenighet rundt folkerettens stilling i norsk rett, mens etter avgjørelsen fremstår dette ... -
Kommentar til HR-2023-491-P Snøkrabbe II
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2023-08-10)Høyesterett har endelig tatt stilling til den geografiske rekkevidden av Svalbardtraktaten. Rettens konklusjon er at traktaten ikke gjelder utenfor territorialfarvannet. Dommen er grundig og pedagogisk oppbygd og vil egne seg vel som introduksjon til folkerettslig metodelære. Høyesteretts dom avgjør imidlertid ikke tvisten rundt traktatens anvendelsesområde, fordi en slik nasjonal rettsavgjørelse ... -
Innsynsrett og forvaltningens arbeidsbyrde
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-04)Artikkelen redegjør for hvordan synet på allmennhetens innsynsrett og behovet for å redusere forvaltningens arbeidsbyrde har endret seg over tid. I dag kommer spenningen mellom innsynsretten og forvaltningens arbeidsbyrde opp i form av spørsmålet om hvilke krav som stilles til forvaltningens saksbehandlingstid for innsynskrav. I Norge er reglene som regulerer kravene til forvaltningens saksbehandlingstid, ... -
Fosen-saken og meklingen
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2023-12-06)På nytt er vi minnet om regjeringens manglende evne til å følge opp Høyesteretts dom i Fosen-saken. Den 11. oktober markerte forsvarere av rettsstaten og samiske rettigheter at det er gått to år siden Høyesterett i storkammer kom til at vindkraftverkene på Fosen krenket samenes rett til reindrift, uten at dommen er etterlevd. Etter initiativ fra regjeringen, og i regi av riksmekleren, pågår det for ... -
The Survey of Use and Ownership Rights in Finnmark – A Change of Direction?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-08)In 2008, the Finnmark Act initiated a process of surveying land rights the Sámi and others may have in Finnmark, the core Sámi area of Norway. The Finnmark Commission, which was established to conduct the survey has completed six investigations. The assessments and conclusions in the first five reports are so similar in terms of collective rights appears as cut from the same cloth. In December 2019, ... -
‘One Map to Rule Them All’? Revisiting Legalities Through Cartographic Representations of the Northwest Passage
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-08)In the legal conceptualization of space, cartography has always been a fundamental tool narrating, representing, generating, or even (re)claiming territory. In this article, we examine the relationship between cartography and international law by looking at different cartographic representations of the area covering the disputed “Northwest Passage” (NWP). In an attempt to discuss how mapping may ...
