Final Observations. During the past three years, NAFTA has produced an increase in US–Mexican trade, business partnerships, specialisation in production processes, and direct investment flows into Mexico. At the same time, it has protected US exporters from the brunt of the Mexican crisis, especially in comparison to exporters from Japan and the European Union. While it is true that US exports to Mexico shrank during 1995, this fall was not generated by NAFTA but by the Mexican devaluation and the subsequent financial crisis. Furthermore, contrary to some beliefs, NAFTA was not a cause of the Mexican crisis and is now one of the pillars of that country’s economic recovery. Finally, employment losses caused to American workers by NAFTA have been tiny despite the large rise in the US– Mexican wage gap caused by the peso crisis. There is even some evidence that NAFTA has created more jobs than it destroyed. Still, there remain a number of areas where progress is necessary. The United States and Mexico must contribute to the fulfillment and consolidation of the objectives set out in NAFTA. Several recent incidents underscore the need to deter the influence of powerful lobbies which may conspire against NAFTA’s full implementation. An example of the latter in the United States is the decision to unilaterally overrule allowing the passage of Mexican trucks, which in effect constituted a violation of NAFTA. One way to avoid such situations would be to replace national trade remedy laws by an international competition code. This may insulate the trade disputes from political pressures of powerful vested interests. Since the US political climate is not ripe for giving up national trade remedy laws for internationally set codes, the responsibility to make good on NAFTA’s commitments rests primarily with the US executive branch. Additional efforts are necessary to make the institutions contemplated in the labour and environment NAFTA side-agreements more effective. In particular, the US National Administrative Office should be more forceful recommending action on the part of the Mexican government regarding cases where Mexican entangled in US domestic politics. A laggard United States will not be devastating for economic integration in the hemisphere. However, because of its size, the US market is the biggest prize and, without that prize, the incentives to sustain open economy policies in some of the countries will diminish. Brazil may be a case in point. Brazil is the largest market i...

Final Observations. As noted during course of this judgment, the provisions of Section 76(3) of the Education Act are narrow, very focused and do not provide coverage for school children outside of the school hours of 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. There seems to be an obvious gap in existing legislation for the police to exercise supervisory authority over children at certain places in keeping with their community oriented policing role. It is evident that there is a growing interest in society for the safety and protection of our children. Therefore, it may be a useful exercise for policy makers and persons in the legislative arm of the state to consider a review of the existing laws to ensure that the police are enabled to act in ways that are in the best interest of school children – within and outside the normal hours of school.
