Taylor & Francis Ltd Business and Human Rights
Book SynopsisIn a global economy, multinational companies often operate in jurisdictions where governments are either unable or unwilling to uphold even the basic human rights of their citizens. The expectation that companies respect human rights in their own operations and in their business relationships is now a business reality that corporations need to respond to. Business and Human Rights: From Principles to Practice is the first comprehensive and interdisciplinary textbook that addresses these issues. It examines the regulatory framework that grounds the business and human rights debate and highlights the business and legal challenges faced by companies and stakeholders in improving respect for human rights, exploring such topics as: the regulatory framework that grounds the business and human rights debate challenges faced by companies and stakeholders in improving human rights iTrade Review"An important contribution to a vital subject, this excellent primer on business and human rights offers valuable insight for both current and future practitioners. Recognizing the challenges and preparing effectively are vital to drive responsible and sustainable business." Paul Polman – Chief Executive Officer, Unilever "Baumann-Pauly and Nolan have written an important and ambitious book, tackling a topic that remains increasingly urgent and still understudied: how to integrate human rights concerns into global business. The editors skillfully examine the complex history of this topic and sketch out a number of realistic strategies that stakeholders can use to bring human rights issues more forcefully into the corporate environment. The book will be a useful tool for educating both future and current business leaders." Debora Spar - President, Barnard College, Columbia University, New York, USA.

Taylor & Francis Ltd German Radioactive Waste
Book SynopsisThis book presents the universal issue of radioactive waste management from the perspective of the German legal system, analysing how lawmakers have responded to the problem of nuclear waste over the course of the last seventy years. In this book, Robert Rybski unwraps and explains the perplexing legal and social issues related to radioactive waste. He takes readers through the entire life-cycle': from the moment that radioactive material is classified as radioactive waste, through to the period of interim storage, and right up to its final disposal. However, this last step in radioactive waste management (that of final disposal) has not yet been achieved in Germany, or anywhere in the world, and has been the subject of hefty public debate for dozens of years. As a result, the book analyses the most recent regulations in place to enable final disposal. This book will be of interest to energy policy experts, academics and professionals who work in the area of nuclear enTable of ContentsIntroduction Chapter 1: The nuclear energy sector and its by-products Chapter 2: Storage and disposal of radioactive waste Chapter 3: Selection of a proper site for final disposal of radioactive waste Concluding remarks

Taylor & Francis AntiMoney Laundering Compliance and the Legal
Book SynopsisMoney laundering is a global issue and there is evidence that the services provided by the legal profession may be misused to launder the proceeds of crime. This book explores the experiences of professionals within Top 50 law firms when seeking to comply with the UKâs anti-money laundering (AML) regime.The book draws upon empirical evidence from 40 in-depth interviews with solicitors and compliance personnel from 20 Top 50 law firms.

The book uses these research findings to explore and discuss the AML compliance issues faced by this section of the profession. It highlights the challenges presented by the legislative architecture of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, and considers compliance issues relating to customer due diligence, AML training, the client account and the suspiTrade Review"Kebbell has produced an extremely well written and carefully researched monograph, which provides a unique and fascinating commentary on the relationship between the legal profession and anti-money laundering.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Governing (Through) Rights
Book SynopsisTaking a critical attitude of dissatisfaction towards rights, the central premise of this book is that rights are technologies of governmentality. They are a regulating discourse that is itself managed through governing tactics and techniques – hence governing (through) rights. Part I examines the 'problem of government' (through) rights. The opening chapter describes governmentality as a methodology that is then used to interrogate the relationship between rights and governance in three contexts: the international, regional and local. How rights regulate certain identities and conceptions of what is good governance is examined through the case study of non-state actors, specifically the NGO, in the international setting; through a case study of rights agencies, and the role of experts, indicators and the rights-based approach in the European Union or regional setting; and, in terms of the local, the challenge that the blossoming language of responsibility and community poses to rights in the name of less government (Big Society) is problematised. In Part II, on resisting government (through) rights, the book also asks what counter-conducts are possible using rights language (questioning rioting as resistance), and whether counter-conduct can be read as an ethos of the political, rights-bearing subject and as a new ethical right. Thus, the book bridges a divide between critical theory (ie Foucauldian understandings of power as governmentality) and human rights law.Table of ContentsPart I: Government (Through) Rights 1. Introduction 2. Governing (Through) Agencies: The EU and Rights in EUrope 3. Governing (Through) Non-Governmental Actors: The Global Human Rights Architecture and the International NGO Part II: Resisting Government (Through) Rights 4. Resisting Rights with Responsibility 5. Counter-Conduct as Right and as Ethics 6. Conclusion: A Permanent State of Dissatisfaction

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Ethical Judgments: Re-Writing Medical Law
Book SynopsisThis edited collection is designed to explore the ethical nature of judicial decision-making, particularly relating to cases in the health/medical sphere, where judges are often called upon to issue rulings on questions containing an explicit ethical component. However, judges do not receive any specific training in ethical decision-making, and often disown any place for ethics in their decision-making. Consequently, decisions made by judges do not present consistent or robust ethical theory, even when cases appear to rely on moral claims. The project explores this dichotomy by imagining a world in which decisions by judges have to be ethically as well as legally valid. Nine specific cases are reinterpreted in light of that requirement by leading academics in the fields of medical law and bioethics. Two judgments are written in each case, allowing for different views to be presented. Two commentaries - one ethical and one legal - then explore the ramifications of the ethical judgments and provide an opportunity to explore the two judgments from additional ethical and legal perspectives. These four different approaches to each judgment allow for a rich and varied critique of the decisions and ethical theories and issues at play in each case.Trade ReviewThe book is full of thought-provoking nuggets -- Alex RK * Mental Capacity Law and Policy *Ethical Judgments: Re-Writing Medical Law is an engaging and timely addition to the socio-legal literature on the interaction between medical law, ethics, and the judiciary ... The alternative judgements given in the book, often from quite different perspectives, coupled with the legal and ethical commentaries, provide a compelling demonstration of the “alternative histories” that might have been created within the field of medical law. -- Catriona McMillan, School of Law, University of Edinburgh * SCRIPTed *A strong collection of ideas and concepts, this book represents a unique opportunity to engage in some well-known decisions through fresh eyes. An interesting and thought provoking read that one can dip in and out of, the book also provides an excellent teaching tool for discussion and analysis. -- Bernadette Richards * European Journal of Health Law *Table of ContentsIntroduction—Medicine in the Courtroom: Judges, Ethics and the Law Re A (Conjoined Twins: Surgical Separation) [2001] Fam 147 R (on the Application of Axon) v Secretary of State for Health [2006] EWHC 37 (Admin) Airedale NHS Trust v Bland [1993] AC 789 R v Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority, ex parte Blood [1999] Fam 151 Bolitho v Hackney Health Authority [1998] AC 232 R v Bourne [1939] 1 KB 687 Chester v Afshar [2005] 1 AC 134 R (on the Application of Nicklinson and Another) v Ministry of Justice [2014] UKSC 38 St George’s Healthcare NHS Trust v S [1999] Fam 26 Conclusion—Medical Law Rewritten

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Der Einfluss des Europäischen Gerichtshofs auf
Book SynopsisDas deutsche Umwelt- und Infrastrukturrecht ist in ein Mehrebenensystem eingebunden und daher auch weitreichenden Einflüssen des Unionsrechts ausgesetzt. Die Integrations- und Interventionskraft der Europäischen Union beschränkt sich aber nicht nur auf legislative Rechtsakte. Auch der EuGH vermag durch seine Judikate spürbar auf die nationale Rechtsordnung einzuwirken. Diesen Einflüssen geht der vorliegende Tagungsband nach. Er dokumentiert dabei die wissenschaftlichen Fachvorträge, die im Rahmen des vom Institut für Umweltrecht der Universität Augsburg veranstalteten 5. Deutschen Umwelt- und Infrastrukturrechtstags gehalten wurden. Die Erschließung des Themas erfolgt im Kern durch eine Arbeit an Referenzthemen, wie insbesondere dem Wasserrecht, dem Energierecht, dem Naturschutz- und dem Immissionsschutzrecht. Eingerahmt werden diese Rechtsgebiete durch allgemeine Ausarbeitungen zum Rechtsschutz und zu den Grundlagen der Rechtsauslegung und Rechtsfortbildung durch den EuGH. Das Zusammenspiel von europäischem und nationalem Recht wird dabei durch rechtsvergleichende Überlegungen abgerundet.
