  • 17 - SDG 17: Strengthen the Means of Implementation and Revitalize the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development

  • Summary

    There are two elements to Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 17, Partnerships for the Goals: (1) efforts to improve the implementation of Agenda 2030 and (2) efforts to improve collective action globally in pursuit of sustainable development as envisaged by the SDGs. If taken as distinct components, the first phrase might suggest itself as relating to the implementation of the other sixteen SDGs – or perhaps sustainable development as a more generic objective (as broadly expressed by Agenda 2030) – whereas the latter phrase might indicate the re-energizing of a more substantive, and perhaps overarching, architecture of global collaboration. As this chapter will explore, SDG 17 is paradoxical in several important respects and, to the extent that it underpins the SDG agenda more broadly, is emblematic of the tensions at the heart of the SDGs, especially with respect to the normative context in which the SDGs are situated. For SDG 17, that context – and its situation therein – is particularly contested and contestable. Moreover, a focus on trade, investment, and voluntarism excludes and omits other important building blocks of human rights, rule of law, and civil society engagement.

  • Summary

    Discussants Professor Peter-Tobias Stoll, Professor Duncan French, and Dr Oisin Suttle were asked at the workshop held on 22–23 June 2018 at the World Trade Institute, Bern, Switzerland, to offer an overall assessment of the notion and potentially emerging legal principle of Common Concern of Humankind in international law. Their authorised interventions are transcribed below. They raise pertinent questions as to the novelty of the concept, the thresholds discussed, the relationship to public goods, the feasibility, and methodological implications a prospective principle of Common Concern of Humankind poses. They are encouraging and cautioning at the same time, pointing to conceptual innovation and weaknesses in the chapters of this volume, and offer guidance for further research on the topic.

  • Geologists and archaeologists have long known that the bluestones of Stonehenge came from the Preseli Hills of west Wales, 230km away, but only recently have some of their exact geological sources been identified. Two of these quarries—Carn Goedog and Craig Rhos-y-felin—have now been excavated to reveal evidence of megalith quarrying around 3000 BC—the same period as the first stage of the construction of Stonehenge. The authors present evidence for the extraction of the stone pillars and consider how they were transported, including the possibility that they were erected in a temporary monument close to the quarries, before completing their journey to Stonehenge.

  • Temporal and farm-management-associated variation in faecal-pat prevalence of Campylobacter fetus in sheep and cattle

  • The faecal-pat prevalence (as estimated by culture) of Campylobacter fetus from cattle and sheep on 19 farms in rural Lancashire was investigated using standard Campylobacter culture techniques and PCR during a 2-year longitudinal study. C. fetus was isolated from 9·48% [95% confidence interval (CI) 8·48–10·48] of cattle faecal pats and 7·29% (95% CI 6·21–9·62) of sheep faecal pats. There was evidence of significant differences in shedding prevalence between geographical regions; cows in geographical zone 3 had an increased risk of shedding C. fetus compared to cows in geographical zones 1 and 2 (OR 6·64, 95% CI 1·67–26·5, P = 0·007), as did cows at pasture (OR 1·66, 95% CI 1·01–2·73, P = 0·046) compared to when housed. Multiple logistic regression modelling demonstrated underlying seasonal periodicity in both species.

Statehood and Self-Determination

  • The concepts of statehood and self-determination provide the normative structure on which the international legal order is ultimately premised. As a system of law founded upon the issue of territorial control, ascertaining and determining which entities are entitled to the privileges of statehood continues to be one of the most difficult and complex issues. Moreover, although the process of decolonisation is almost complete, the principle of self-determination has raised new challenges for the metropolitan territories of established states, including the extent to which 'internal' self-determination guarantees additional rights for minority and other groups. As the controversies surrounding remedial secession have revealed, the territorial integrity of a state can be questioned if there are serious and persistent breaches of a people's human rights. This volume brings together such debates to reflect further on the current state of international law regarding these fundamental issues.
