Public international law: diplomatic law Books
Oxford University Press Diplomatic Law
Book SynopsisThe 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations has for over 50 years been central to diplomacy and applied to all forms of relations among sovereign States. Participation is almost universal. The rules giving special protection to ambassadors are the oldest established in international law and the Convention is respected almost everywhere. But understanding it as a living instrument requires knowledge of its background in customary international law, of the negotiating history which clarifies many of its terms and the subsequent practice of states and decisions of national courts which have resolved other ambiguities. Diplomatic Law provides this in-depth Commentary. The book is an essential guide to changing methods of modern diplomacy and shows how challenges to its regime of special protection for embassies and diplomats have been met and resolved. It is used by ministries of foreign affairs and cited by domestic courts world-wide.The book analyzes the reasons for the widespreadTrade ReviewThis book is an erudite and impressive statement of what diplomatic law actually is and what, presumably, it may become, bearing in mind such ongoing controversies as the tension between the principle of non-interference in the affairs of a particular country - and the duty to promote and champion the basic tenets of human rights. * Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor, Richmond Green Chambers *Review from previous edition ... a cornerstone in any large or small library collection dealing with diplomats... It remains the 'must have' work for all members of the worldwide diplomatic community... a handy collection of cases from national courts... conveniently organised by Article. * American Society of International Law *Review from previous edition ...First published in 1976, Denza's Diplomatic Law has become the classic study on the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations 1961. No study of diplomatic law or, indeed, the subject of diplomatic relations in general would be complete without reference to Denza's work. Having produced such an authoritative work, it must have been with no small degree of trepidation that Denza approached the prospects of improving upon that work 22 years later. However, there is no doubt that Denza has succeeded in her task ... The inclusion of the new material is pervasive throughout the book ... there can be little doubt that Diplomatic Law will remain the leading authority on the Vienna Convention for many years to come. It is an essential purchase for all practitioners of diplomacy and academics involved in the study of diplomacy in general and diplomatic law in particular. * J Craig Barker, International and Comparative Law Quarterly Vol 48 *Table of ContentsIntroduction Commentary on Preamble Commentary on Articles 1- 53 Commentary on optional protocols Appendix 1: The Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations Appendix 2: Parties to the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations

Oxford University Press Preparing for War The Making of the Geneva
Book SynopsisPreparing for War, based upon extensive archival research and critical legal methodologies, explores the often misunderstood history of the 1949 Geneva Conventions, among the most important rules for armed conflict ever formulated.Trade ReviewPreparing for War. The Making of the Geneva Conventions offers us a thick historical contextualization of pressing issues. * Silvia Steininger, Helga Molbæk-Steensig, European Journal of International Law *In sum, van Dijk's reverse-weaving provides us a much more nuanced picture of not only what was included but also of what was excluded from the fabric of the 1949 Conventions. It offers, I suggest, an illustrative template of what contemporary international legal history should look like as it brings together the lessons learned from more than two decades of rich scholarship on the relationship between comparative legal history, on the one hand, and politics, the theory and history of international law, and imperialism, on the other. * DANIEL R. QUIROGA VILLAMARÍN, Doctoral Candidate and Researcher based at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies (Geneva, Switzerland)., The New Rambler *The best legal history illuminates outcomes while resisting celebratory or cynical determinism. Dr van Dijk's new history of the Geneva Conventions and humanitarianism in war is a masterpiece of methodological and conceptual sophistication. Through meticulous archival research and critical analysis, van Dijk recovers a multitude of voices and possibilities in the making of the law of war we have, and the ways we might imagine its unrealized potential. * Prof. Naz K. Modirzadeh, Harvard University *In Preparing for War, Boyd van Dijk provides a most welcome update to the history of international humanitarian law. The hallmark of this deeply researched analysis of the 1949 Geneva Conventions is its simultaneous attention to politics and history. In exposing the constant tension between politics and humanitarianism, van Dijk reminds us of the perpetually unfinished nature of the project of humanizing war. * Prof. Tanisha M. Fazal, University of Minnesota *Van Dijk's riveting book is the culmination of a decade of new histories of international law, marking the arrival of professional research methods and independent critical analysis to the study of international law's most hallowed texts: the Geneva Conventions. Van Dijk's account of the drafting of the Conventions reveals them to be the products not merely of humanitarian ideals inspired by the horrors of war, but also of fierce Cold War contests and colonial rivalries. Highly recommended. * Prof. John Fabian Witt, Yale University *Nothing was inevitable in the drafting of the Geneva Conventions, Boyd van Dijk argues in this important and exciting revisionist work. The author's expansive multi-lingual archival research enables him to reconceive this history by tracing the genealogy of the drafting, revealing the Articles' contingency. Drafters had directly experienced the brutality of total war, and this informed their efforts to protect civilians. Women, like French resistance fighter Andrée Jacob, played crucial roles. Cold War politics mattered, but adversaries nevertheless collaborated on matters that served their common interests. This outstanding work will influence the next generation of writing on the Geneva Conventions. * Prof. Mary Dudziak, Emory University *Boyd van Dijk has written a superb political and legal history of the making of the four Geneva Conventions. * Dr. Hugo Slim, University of Oxford *Preparing for War is a fascinating read. Dr Boyd van Dijk takes us to the heart of the negotiations and lets us see into the minds of the key players. * Professor Andrew Clapham, Geneva Graduate Institute *Van Dijk's book is excellent for exposing this dynamic in relation to the geneva conventions and for unearthing some of the politics behind those crucial treaties. Preparing for War is a compelling read. It is powerfully written and offers us the richest and most nuanced account of the negotiations leading to adoption of the Geneva Conventions currently on offer. * Professor Larissa van den Herik, The American Journal of International Law *Preparing for War - The Making of the Geneva Conventions is a book no international humanitarian law scholar should miss. It is a truly interdisciplinary piece of scholarship, which masterfully handles history, political science and international law in telling the story of the drafting and negotiation of the 1949 Geneva Conventions. * Dr Bianca Maganza, Geneva Graduate Institute *Boyd van Dijk's Preparing for War offers a rich historical account of the drafting process of the 1949 Geneva Conventions which goes beyond the usual triumphalist rhetoric and uncovers the behind the scenes strategies, struggles and coincidences. * Professor Eyal Benvenisti, University of Cambridge *Boyd van Dijk has done an invaluable job. He presents in detail the diverse controversies and opposing opinions amongst different states, whether in or outside the Western, Eastern, or 'Third World' blocs, that arose during the discussion and writing of the fourth Convention and rewriting the first, second and third. In doing so he made his book a priceless contribution to the history of humanitarianism, the laws of warfare, the Red Cross, and international relations. * Leo van Bergen, Medicine, Conflict and Survival *

Oxford University Press, USA Position of Heads of State and Senior Officials in International Law Oxford International Law Library
Book SynopsisThe legal position in international law of heads of states and other senior state representatives is at the heart of the conflict thrown up by recent changes in the international legal order. The establishment of the International Criminal Court and the ad hoc criminal tribunals reflects a growing belief that heads of states and other senior state representatives should be held accountable for serious violations of international law. It is now questioned whether foreign states and their officials still have immunity from proceedings concerning grave human rights abuses in national courts.This book provides a comprehensive treatment of this key issue, covering both civil and criminal proceedings before domestic courts and the position before international courts and tribunals. The positions of both serving and former heads of states are examined and, where appropriate, so is that of their family members. The wide variety of constitutional forms and titles enjoyed by heads of states and senior state representatives is considered and their internationally relevant powers and functions outlined. The implications of recognition or lack of it are assessed, together with the practical and legal consequences of loss of office and/or exile in a foreign state. In examining the position of heads of state and other senior representatives in foreign states, attention is given to the question of immunities before the local courts, and to other privileges, protections, and courtesies to which they may be entitled. The book draws a distinction between the personal immunity (ratione personae) enjoyed by heads of states which derive from their status or office, and the official act immunity (ratione materiae) enjoyed by all state officials. It closely examines the relationship between state immunity as it has developed under the restrictive doctrine and the immunities to which individuals are entitled. Careful consideration is given to separate regimes of international immunities such as special missions.This systematic analysis of the legal position of heads of states takes into account the history of the subject, relevant state practice (judicial and legislative), the impact of relevant international treaties, and international judicial or arbitral decisions on the matter.Trade ReviewThe Position of Heads of State and Senior Officials in International Law is a valuable doctrinal contribution to the growing body of literature on privileges and immunities for senior state officials and is recommended to anyone with an academic or professional interest in the area. * Monique Cormier, Australian Year Book of International Law *This is an accessible, wellresearched and valuable book on a complex topic of law * Philippa Webb *Table of ContentsPART I OVERVIEW AND GENERAL PRINCIPLES ; PART II HEADS OF STATES ; PART III HEADS OF GOVERMENTS, FOREIGN MINISTERS AND OTHER SENIOR STATE REPRESENTATIVES ; PART IV INTERNATIONAL RESPONSIBILITY OF HEADS OF STATES, HEADS OF GOVERMENTS, FOREIGN MINISTERS AND SENIOR STATE REPRESENTATIVES ; PART V EFFECT OF STATEMENTS BY HEADS OF STATES,HEADS OF GOVERNMENTS, FOREIGN MINISTERS AND OTHER SENIOR STATE REPRESENTATIVES
