SV: SV: SV: SV: SV: [governance] Re: Why standards from ISO are not

[Kicki Nordström]

Dear Tapani,

There is no difference in interpreting international laws, that is interpreted by OHCHR in Geneva through  its all implementations and monitoring committees!  International Human Rights Laws are all interpreted in the same way (or principles  should be)!  It has not to depend on how you define  what is "international", it is already define and established  in the Paris Principe! So the question is not about the international  or laws but rather a common understanding by bilateral or multilateral agreements


Yours

I guess it depends on how you define "international", but at least European Union laws have such exceptions, notably in EU Copyright Directive.

There's probably nothing that applies to all countries, I'm afraid. :-(
