| The Sovereign Rights of Peoples to Natural Resources |
International law guarantees the right to permanent sovereignty over natural
resources. In contrast with a traditional view on the subject, this article
argues in international law that this right is vested in peoples, and not
only states. Furthermore, the authors remind us that when States and
governments exercise their powers, they must behave as temporary custodians
or trustees of natural resources and manage them for the benefit of all the
people in the country. By Elvira Méndez Pinedo |
| Privatisation in the energy sector
|
An institution called Public Services
International has published several reports on the consequences of
privatisation of public utilities, including energy and water.
A recent report “Global experience with electricity liberalisation” by Professor
David Hall et al shows that in the OECD countries privatisation always leads
to higher energy prices and less consumer satisfaction.
