Ocean renewable energy development in southeast asiaAraz Taeihagh
The Southeast Asian region (SEA) is surrounded by ocean space, from which there is a vast potential to harness
energy. Wave, tidal energy, and ocean thermal energy conversion could be tapped, to provide alternative sources
of clean and dependable energy in the region. This article contributes to the growing academic literature on
ocean renewable energy (ORE) in SEA by improving understanding of the opportunities and challenges of ORE
development in the region, beyond its technical aspects. It conducts a critical analysis of the socio-political aspects
of ORE development at a regional scale, which have been less studied in the existing literature. Aside from
providing a sustainable energy source, the development of the ORE sector could provide socio-economic benefits
to SEA countries through employment opportunities, inter-industry learning, inbound investments and
improving economic resilience. However, these benefits can only be maximised if the costs of deployment,
maintenance and repair are reduced, the impact to the marine environment is taken into consideration and issues
of public acceptance are addressed. Beyond a cost–benefit analysis, this study critically assesses the unintended
risks and consequences of ORE technologies and activities in the region and recommends different policy strategies
to mitigate them. It concludes that for the region to reap the benefits of ORE, a coordinated approach
among different stakeholders (technology developers, policymakers, and end-users) is needed to minimise the
risks and unintended consequences.
The document discusses international legal instruments relating to forced displacement. It provides summaries of key conventions and principles, including the 1951 Refugee Convention which established the definition of a refugee and principles of non-discrimination, non-penalization, and non-refoulement. Regional instruments in Africa and the Americas have expanded the refugee definition in response to specific displacement crises. The document also discusses other international treaties and guidelines concerning internally displaced persons, asylum procedures, and the rights of refugees.
The Brussels Agreement between Serbia and Kosovo in 2013 normalized bilateral relations after decades of hostility and was a major achievement for conflict mediation. It was the result of confidential dialogue facilitated by EU High Representative Catherine Ashton that helped build trust between the parties. While opposition remained within both societies, leaders accepted that cooperation was necessary for regional stability and prosperity. However, substantive issues around borders and the future of communities remain to be resolved through continued dialogue supported by the international community. The Agreement marked an important step away from nationalism and conflict toward partnership in the Western Balkans.
This document discusses key aspects of creating innovative cities. It covers the following main points:

Epidemiology and control of helminth parasites.Tathagato Roy
Epidemiology is the study of disease distribution and patterns in populations. Helminths are parasitic worms that infect humans. The major helminth infections are caused by nematodes (roundworms), cestodes (tapeworms), and trematodes (flukes). Common helminth infections include ascariasis, hookworm infection, schistosomiasis, and cysticercosis. These infections are highly prevalent in tropical developing regions with poor sanitation. Chronic helminth infections can cause malnutrition, anemia, organ damage, and increased susceptibility to other diseases.

The Human Rights to Water and Sanitation in Courts Worldwide: A Selection of ...Graciela Mariani
The publication is available on the websites of WaterLex and WASH United.
A key aim of this publication is to share information about the legal enforcement of the human rights to water and sanitation. As such, it is a useful tool for judges, lawyers and those advocating for these rights, and should prove essential for crafting legal complaints that better ensure accountability for violations of the rights to water and sanitation and achieving effective remedies for those suffering such violations.
The cases examined in this publication provide real-world examples that demonstrate how the human rights to water and sanitation can be legally enforced before judicial and quasi-judicial bodies. They cover examples of legal enforcement of the range of human-rights obligations, including the obligations to respect, to protect and to fulfill the rights to water and sanitation and to do so without discrimination. Cases involve direct application of rights to water and sanitation at the national level; the use of internationally recognized norms to inform rights at the national level; how to use the principle of indivisibility and interrelatedness of rights to enforce implicit rights to water and sanitation; and how regional and international mechanisms have enforced such rights when domestic remedies are not available or are insufficient.
Furthermore, cases illustrate not only how individuals and groups can use the law and legal enforcement mechanisms to successfully achieve accountability and remedies, but also how those representing larger classes of persons are challenging the impacts of laws, policies and practices on the rights to water and sanitation, and how they can achieve remedies at the more structural and systemic levels.
The publication was prepared jointly by WaterLex and WASH United.
Léo Heller, the newly appointed UN Special Rapporteur on the human right to safe drinking water and sanitation, and his predecessor Ms. Catarina de Albuquerque have endorsed the publication.

Budget Allocation Assessment for Water Resources Project in Thailand Using GI...drboon
This document summarizes a study that assessed the appropriateness of water budget allocation among Thailand's 25 major river basins using a GIS-based water poverty index (WPI). The study found that basins like Mae Nam Pattani, Mae Nam Kok, and Mae Nam Mun had lower WPI scores, reflecting higher water shortage, but were allocated less budget per capita compared to other basins. Thus, water budget allocation was inconsistent with levels of water poverty between basins. The study developed a WPI for each basin based on factors of resources, access, capacity, use, and environment. GIS was used to analyze sub-factors for each basin and display water shortage levels according to the WPI ratings.
