   * The author is a Labor Relations Arbitrator and Full Professor at Memorial University in
Canada. She holds a law degree with Honors from the University of London (England). She
has published extensively in the fields of international law and environmental law, and has
published articles on international terrorism, piracy, child labor, organ trafficking, slavery and
the refugee/migration crisis. Her book THE EARTH SUMMIT AT RIO analyzed the Conventions
on climate change and biodiversity, provided environmental perspectives from both the North
and South and examined the progress of international environmental principles from the
Stockholm Conference to the global Summit at Rio.
    I dedicate this Article to my parents, my loving mother, Lata K. Panjabi, author, poet,
diplomat, artist, musician, and to my brilliant father, Khooshie Lal Panjabi, journalist, editor,
author, diplomat. Once again, my wonderful mother inspired the idea for this Article. My
father, a unique idealist and realist, believed that one person with a principle could change the
world. I thank them for the gift of life and the gift of education. I also thank Lenny for all his
generous advice and Davey and Jeffy for making so many helpful suggestions.
