This thesis looks at the problems arising out of the unauthorized publica-
tion of the likeness of an individual resulting in the infringement of the indivi-
dual’s privacy or misrepresentation or exploitation of his or her personality. We
have studied how the law of Quebec, France and the United Kingdom have dealt
with each of these situations. We have also described the role of press councils
in Quebec and the United Kingdom and examined the solutions proposed by
these councils.
The first part of the thesis deals with the basis in law for the protection of
the human likeness, while the second part attempts to determine how effectively
individuals are protected from the publication of their likeness.
A comparison of the various solutions provided under the laws being
examined has enabled us to determine whether one of them best safeguards the
individual from the unauthorized publication of his or her likeness.

Amnat Wongbandit, Hydroelectric Development on an International River:
The Lower Mekong Basin, Osgoode Hall Law School
The Mekong, one of the longest rivers in Asia, has great potential for
hydroelectric development and other purposes. Envisaging this potential, States
in its lower basin, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam, with the encourage-
ment of the United Nations, created their international river commission, the
Mekong Committee, in 1957 to study and regulate the utilization of the water
of the basin. Due to drastic economic, political and social changes in the region
in the last three decades, the current relevant legal regimes should be reconsid-
ered in terms of their effectiveness. According to the normative, comparative
and progressive study of regional and international river law in this thesis, cer-
tain provisions of the constituent document of the Mekong Committee and the
agreement containing the rights and duties of the basin States should be mod-
ified if the use, development, management and conservation of the water
resources of the basin are to be optimized effectively. At the same time, the
basin States also need to have a legal mechanism for settling their future water
disputes and an entity to implement the construction, operation and maintenance
of water development projects on the Mekong mainstream.
Le Mekong, l’un des plus longs fleuves d’Asie, renferme un grand poten-
tiel pour les d6veloppements hydro6l~ctrique et autre. Afin d’endiguer ce poten-
tiel, les 6tats du bassin inf6rieur, soit le Cambodge, le Laos, la Thailande et le
Vit-Nam, avec l’encouragement des Nations-Unies, ont crdM, en 1957, une
commission internationale pour 6tudier et r6glementer l’utilisation des eaux du
bassin.
Les changements 6conomiques, politiques et sociaux qu’a connus la r6gion
au cours des trente derni~res ann6es rendent n6cessaire une r66valuation de l’ef-
ficacit6 du r6gime juridique en place.
Cette thse sugg~re que l’utilisation, le d6veloppement, l’administration et
la conservation optimales des ressources hydrauliques du bassin requiert une
r6vision de certaines dispositions du document constitutif du comit6 du Mekong
et la modification de certains droits et obligations des 6tats du bassin. Par ail-
leurs, ces 6tats doivent maintenant instituer des m~canismes de resolution de
dispute, ainsi qu’une entit6 juridique dont le mandat serait d’assurer la construc-
tion, l’op6ration et l’entretien des projets de d6veloppements hydrauliques sur
le M6kong.

J. Barry Wright, Law, State and Dissent in Upper Canada, 1804-1838,
Osgoode Hall Law School
This thesis is concerned with aspects of the relationship between law and
politics in Upper Canada from 1804 to 1838. The research focusses on criminal
prosecutions of leading figures of dissent for sedition and treason. Other man-
ifestations of the relationship between law and politics in the province are
examined contextually.
The thesis advances the argument that the province’s governing elite
imperfectly dominated the legal system, resorting to it to resolve perceived
social and political crises. Legal measures were regarded by authorities as more
effective, and certainly more feasible, than direct physical coercion. On a con-
tinuing basis, the law facilitated the governing elite’s immediate concerns by
marginalizing leading opposition leaders. It also served a more fundamental
function when social conflict became extreme. The law was used to assist in the
shaping of popular thought in the attempt to legitimate the elite’s authority and
generate consent to it. However, the ruling elite’s control over these processes
was by no means complete and the law was a site of considerable struggle.
Articulate concerns were raised about politicized legality, unequal treatment
under the law, and more specifically, about the legal profession, prosecutorial
authority, the jury, the judiciary and legislative processes.
Cette th~se traite du lien existant entre le droit et la politique au Haut-
Canada de 1804 h 1838, principalement par le biais d’un examen des poursuites
criminelles pour trahison, A l’encontre de certains dissidents.
L’auteur sugg~re que l’lite provinciale dominait –
de fagon imparfaite
le syst~me juridique, y ayant recours pour rdsoudre des crises politiques et
sociales. Le droit remplissait deux r6les importants: celui de marginaliser les
dissidents et celui de l6gitimer l’autorit6 de l’61ite. Toutefois, l’autorit6 de l’6lite
sur le processus juridique n’6tait pas absolue. Des d~bats importants ont 6t6 sou-
levds au sujet de la politisation du droit, la discrimination dans l’application du
droit, la profession juridique, le pouvoir de poursuite, le r6le du jury et les pro-
cessus judiciaires et 16gislatifs.
