Book SynopsisBrice Dickson examines the engagement of the United Kingdom with international human rights monitorin1g mechanisms, in particular those operated by the United Nations and the Council of Europe since 2000. Dickson explores how these mechanisms work in practice and whether they have any identifiable impact on how human rights are protected in the UK.By analysing the role that monitoring mechanisms are meant to play in enforcing human rights standards, and the UK's commitment to that role, Dickson considers in turn the work of general monitoring mechanisms, mechanisms focused on civil and political rights or on social and economic rights, and mechanisms assessing discrimination based on gender, race, age or disability. The book demonstrates that, while monitoring mechanisms certainly play a crucial role in holding the UK government to account, crediting them with enhancing the protection of any specific right is problematic.Providing a comprehensive study of the operation of international human rights monitoring mechanisms, this book will be an insightful resource for human rights law students and scholars, particularly those concerned with civil, social and non-discrimination rights. Academics interested in public international law and politics will also benefit from this text.Trade Review‘This book examines the effectiveness of international human rights monitoring mechanisms at the global and European level with particular reference to their influence on the protection of human rights in the UK. The book tackles a longstanding void in comparative analysis of these mechanisms. Written in an accessible and engaging style, Dickson provides a well-structured analysis that will have practical value at the jurisdiction-specific level in the UK and which will contribute to the wider body of knowledge on the effectiveness of such mechanisms.’ -- Suzanne Egan, University College Dublin, Ireland‘This landmark analysis combines an insightful exploration of the complex web of human rights monitoring mechanisms to which the UK is subject with a rigorous and trenchant critique of both the UK’s engagement with them and of those mechanisms themselves. It is a tour de force and essential reading.’ -- Sir Malcolm Evans, University of Bristol Law School, UK‘By using the UK as a case study, Dickson has succeeded in making the link between the international and the national and invigorated the study of international human rights monitoring mechanisms. This book is a valuable resource for all of those engaged in the study and practice of international and national human rights law.’ -- Merris Amos, Queen Mary University of London, UKTable of ContentsContents: Preface 1.

Book SynopsisIn this timely book, Alexandra Harrington examines the legal and policy terms contained in transitional justice mechanisms through the lenses of intergenerational equity and justice, and the impact on current and future generations. Based on these findings, she offers a new definition of transitional justice that focuses on generational incorporation to ensure a durable, equitable and just peace.Proposing a more nuanced definition of transitional justice in the setting of internal armed conflict, chapters address both the histories and the analyses of different conflicts. Harrington reviews the core findings and their potential impacts for crafting transitional justice mechanisms that are inclusive of the needs of children and youth, current and future generations, intergenerational equity and intergenerational justice. The book also focuses on the variety of agreements and instruments adopted for peace through trend analysis and information gathering.The Future of Peace will be a valuable resource for legal scholars and academics interested in conflict and peace studies. Those interested in human rights law and public international law will also find this to be a beneficial read.Table of ContentsContents: List of acronyms 1 Introduction to The Future of Peace 2 Peace agreements, intergenerational equity and intergenerational justice 3 Ceasefire agreements, intergenerational equity and intergenerational justice 4 Truth and reconciliation mechanisms, intergenerational equity and intergenerational justice 5 Justice mechanisms, intergenerational equity and intergenerational justice 6 Conclusion Index

Book SynopsisThe UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) entered into force in November 1994. This insightful book offers in-depth appraisals of the contributions of jurisprudence to this major achievement of international law, tracing the impact that courts and tribunals have had on the development and clarification of various provisions of UNCLOS over the past quarter-century. Exploring the most pressing issues and recent developments concerning the oceans, leading authors discuss the influence of jurisprudence in fields ranging from fisheries to navigation and deep seabed mining, paying particular attention to the impact of dispute settlement in the law of the sea. While many questions remain unresolved, the specific case studies in this book show that courts and tribunals have made significant contributions to key legal concepts, as well as filling regulatory gaps left by UNCLOS. This authoritative and timely work will be of great interest to students and scholars working in public international law, and most particularly law of the sea. Its attention to statute will greatly benefit practitioners including judges, counsels and consultants in international litigation, and its practical approach will capture individuals working for relevant international organizations and NGOs. Contributors include: N. Bankes, L. Bautista, A. Chircop, R. Churchill, M.D. Evans, A. Jaeckel, Ø. Jensen, S. Lee, R. Lewis, M.L. Mcconnell, A. Serdy, K.E. SkodvinTrade Review‘The Development of the Law of the Sea Convention represents a collective effort in filling the gap left in academic discussion. This book offers an in-depth appraisal of the impacts and contributions of international courts and tribunals to the development of UNCLOS since its entry into force in 1994. The book is timely, authoritative and thought- provoking. It will be of great interest to a wider readership, not only scholars and students working in the fields of public international law and the law of the sea, but also practitioners and relevant international organizations and institutions.’ -- Zhiguo Gao, Ocean Yearbook'The contribution of international courts to aspects of the law of the sea other than maritime delimitation is rarely studied. The present volume fills this lacuna, illustrating how judges and arbitrators have shaped the law and interpreted often ambiguous provisions of UNCLOS in important and controversial fields such as fisheries, islands, deep seabed mining, the ''genuine link'', hot pursuit, and historic rights. This fine work by an international team of experts throws light on topical issues of the law of the sea and on the role of international judges and arbitrators.' --Tullio Treves, Former Judge, The International Tribunal for the Law of the SeaTable of ContentsContents: Preface xi 1 General introduction 1 Øystein Jensen 2 The regime of islands 14 Sir Malcolm D.

Book SynopsisThis comprehensive Handbook provides an in-depth analysis of the origin and main substantive provisions of the TRIPS Agreement, the most influential international treaty on intellectual property currently in force. A uniquely qualified set of academics and experts from around the world discuss the historical context in which the Agreement was negotiated, its basic principles and the nature of the obligations it creates for WTO members. Together with the second volume –- Research Handbook on the Interpretation and Enforcement of Intellectual Property under WTO Rules - – it examines the minimum standards that must be implemented with regard to patents, trademarks, geographical indications, copyright and related rights, integrated circuits and test data. This Handbook is an essential tool for scholars, researchers and advanced students in the field of intellectual property. It also provides materials of direct relevance for policymakers and legal practitioners.Trade Review‘Carlos Correa has in these two Research Handbooks on the TRIPS Agreement, done a magnificent job of bringing together a large number of scholars to analyse the many issues raised by the Agreement. The result is an integrated resource of high quality that helps readers to understand the many complex dimensions of TRIPS.’ -- Peter Drahos, RegNet, The Australian National University, Canberra‘TRIPs is the only positive integration type of agreement in the WTO. Scholars have legitimately in my view, questioned its inclusion in the WTO since the protection of IP rights is no more a trade issue than many other similar issues. This is the first time that a set of well-known experts has dealt in a comprehensive manner with the vast array of issues regarding the coming-into-being, the functioning and the perspectives of the TRIPs regime under the aegis of the WTO. These two volumes will provide very useful guidance to students and policymakers alike dealing with protection of IP rights and international trade.’ -- = Petros C.

Book SynopsisThis key work analyses the disputes between Greece and Turkey as to their respective rights in the Aegean Sea, paying particular attention to the claims regarding territorial waters, the continental shelf, and the yet to be declared exclusive maritime zones in the area. While many earlier studies have concentrated on political factors, this study provides an exhaustive analysis of the relevant principles of international law in general and rules and principles of maritime law in particular, identifying the legal principles appropriate to the settlement of the Aegean dispute. With this regard, it makes a detailed examination of all the related aspects of the Aegean Sea and its islands, as well as the legal arguments of Greece and Turkey on the disputes concerned. It also clarifies the prospects for settling the dispute on the basis of international law, either by the two parties involved, or by the intervention of a third party such as the International Court of Justice. As such, itTrade Review’The book by Yucel Acer contributes significantly to the understanding of the political and especially the legal aspects of the Aegean maritime disputes between Turkey and Greece. The book is simply a great achievement in examining the Aegean maritime disputes on the basis of equity developed through the international tribunals since 1951 for issues related to the delimitation of the territorial waters and since 1969 for the delimitation of the continental shelf areas. The author gives a complete account of all the related aspects of the juridical settlement of the Aegean maritime disputes such as the legal arguments of Turkey and Greece and the special circumstances of the Aegean Sea that effect their settlement. The book is especially recommended for those who would like to comprehend the Turkish views of the maritime disputes in the Aegean Sea in an undisputable objectivity.’ Professor Yuksel Inan, The Bilkent University, Ankara, TurkeyTable of ContentsContents: Introduction.

Book SynopsisFrom the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Looming Tower—a timely revisiting of a diplomatic triumph between two Middle East nations and an inside look at how peace is made. • “Masterly…. Magnificent…. Wright reminds us that Carter’s Camp David was an act of surpassing political courage.” —The New York Times Book ReviewIn September 1978, three world leaders—Menachem Begin of Israel, Anwar Sadat of Egypt, and U.S. president Jimmy Carter—met at Camp David to broker a peace agreement between the two Middle East nations. During the thirteen-day conference, Begin and Sadat got into screaming matches and had to be physically separated; both attempted to walk away multiple times. Yet, by the end, a treaty had been forged—one that has quietly stood for more than three decades, proving that peace in the Middle East is possible.Wright combines politics, scripture, and the participants’ personal histories into a compelling narrative of the fragile peace process. Begin was an Orthodox Jew whose parents had perished in the Holocaust; Sadat was a pious Muslim inspired since boyhood by stories of martyrdom; Carter, who knew the Bible by heart, was driven by his faith to pursue a treaty, even as his advisers warned him of the political cost. Wright reveals an extraordinary moment of lifelong enemies working together—and the profound difficulties inherent in the process. Thirteen Days in September is a timely revisiting of this diplomatic triumph and an inside look at how peace is made.
