Peter Lang AG Preventing Mass Human-Rights Violations and
Book SynopsisThe problem of preventing mass human-rights violations and atrocity crimes is one of the key issues in international relations. The book presents the capacity of the international community in the field. The available instruments of early warning, preventive diplomacy as well as legal, economic, and military measures of prevention are included. Cases of Chechnya, Rwanda, Côte d'Ivoire and Libya allowed the analysis of international engagement in typical situations involving mass human-rights violations and atrocity crimes related to self-determination, ethnic tensions, power struggles and attempts to overthrow a dictatorship. They show that although the international community has significantly increased its capacity to prevent, it has not created a coherent system of prevention.Table of ContentsPrevention of mass human-rights violations and atrocity crimes – Responsibility to Protect – Human Rights – Genocide – International Institutions – United Nations – European Union – Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe – Council of Europe – Chechnya – Rwanda – Cote d’Ivoire – Libya

Peter Lang AG International Legal Aspects of Aerial Terrorism:
Book SynopsisThe monograph discusses the problem of aerial terrorism, one of the biggest challenges humanity faces in the 21st century. Its main goal is to answer the question of whether international legal regulations serve as an effective tool in the fight against terrorists who target civil aviation. The book itself is divided into three chapters: the first one focuses on the theoretical aspect by describing the term “aerial terrorism” itself from a legal perspective. The second one is an in-depth overview of key legal instruments drafted under the auspices of ICAO, the United Nations, and the European Union, that together form a juridical core for the fight against air terrorists. Finally, the third is a case study that depicts how the mechanisms described in the previous parts function in practice.Table of ContentsInternational terrorism – Role of international organisations – Case study – Aircraft hijacking – Shooting down aircraft – Cyber terrorism – Airport bombing – Civil aviation – Using aeroplanes as weapon – International Civil Aviation Organisation – European Union – United Nations

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Farthing on International Shipping
Book SynopsisThe book provides an introduction to shipping in all its aspects. It is a valuable source of information for students of traditional maritime law as well as for those who seek to understand maritime and shipping services on a global scale. The text includes information and analytical content on national and international practices in shipping, including the age-old dichotomy between freedom in international shipping and the persistent demands of states to control specific maritime areas, as well as the tension between, on the one hand, the desire on the part of sovereign states to regulate and protect their shipping interests and, on the other, the abiding concern and unquestioned right of the international community to regulate the global shipping industry effectively, in order to ensure maritime safety, protection of the environment and fair competition.Table of ContentsFreedom in International Shipping.- Shipping as a Vital Service to World Trade.- The Sectors of Shipping.- Private Shipping Organisations.- The Interface with Governments: National and International.- Shipping Nationalism and Government Involvement.- Demise of Protectionism and Rise of Liberalisation.- Co-operation in Liner Shipping.- Development of Competition Policy and its Historical Evolution.- Maritime Governance.- Nationality and Registration of Ships: Concept and Practice.- Maritime Safety Standards: Compliance and Enforcement.- Maritime Security: Legal Framework in International Law.- Protection of the Marine Environment.- The Private Law of Marine Pollution.- Liability and Limitation of Liability.- Conclusion: The Current Milieu and Beyond.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG TRIPS plus 20: From Trade Rules to Market
Book SynopsisThis book examines the impact and shortcomings of the TRIPS Agreement, which was signed in Marrakesh on 15 April 1994. Over the last 20 years, the framework conditions have changed fundamentally. New technologies have emerged, markets have expanded beyond national borders, some developing states have become global players, the terms of international competition have changed, and the intellectual property system faces increasing friction with public policies. The contributions to this book inquire into whether the TRIPS Agreement should still be seen only as part of an international trade regulation, or whether it needs to be understood – or even reconceptualized – as a framework regulation for the international protection of intellectual property. The purpose, therefore, is not to define the terms of an outright revision of the TRIPS Agreement but rather to discuss the framework conditions for an interpretative evolution that could make the Agreement better suited to the expectations and needs of today’s global economy.Table of ContentsPart I Revisiting the Policy Rationale of TRIPS.- Part II TRIPS as a Legal Framework: Which Geometry?.- Part III Systems Challenges.-Part IV TRIPS and Countervailing Principles.- Part V Exclusivity, Access and Innovation.- Part VI From Enforcing to Enhancing TRIPS.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Grundlagen der Mikroökonomik: Ein integrativer
Book SynopsisDieses Lehrbuch bietet eine umfassende und einzigartige Einführung in die moderne Mikroökonomik. Es verfolgt einen integrativen Ansatz, indem es die wichtigsten Erkenntnisse der Ökonomik in einen breiteren Kontext stellt. Die Theorien werden aus philosophischer Sicht und durch den Vergleich mit Ansätzen aus anderen Sozialwissenschaften kritisch reflektiert und Implikationen für die Gestaltung des Rechtssystems und unternehmerisches Handeln erarbeitet. Das Buch richtet sich an Bachelorstudierende der Wirtschaftswissenschaften und anderer Fachrichtungen. Die zahlreichen kurzen Beispiele und umfassenden Fallstudien helfen dabei, die Anwendungen der Theorien zu verstehen. Daher eignet es sich für einen angewandten, aber dennoch fachlich präzisen Ansatz in der Lehre. Aufgrund der methodischen und philosophischen Einbettung eignet es sich auch für eine kritische Auseinandersetzung mit dem ökonomischen Mainstream. Ausgehend von der Frage, warum und wie Gesellschaften wirtschaftliches Handeln organisieren, werden die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen verschiedener Markttypen im Hinblick auf die Linderung von Knappheit und das Erreichen von Verteilungszielen aus einer institutionellen Perspektive analysiert. Die zweite Auflage erweitert die Entscheidungstheorie systematisch um Kapitel zur traditionellen Entscheidungstheorie unter Risiko und Unsicherheit und zur Verhaltensökonomie sowie um Erkenntnisse aus den Neurowissenschaften, der Evolutionspsychologie und der narrativen Psychologie zu menschlichem Verhalten. Zusätzlich gibt es theoretische Ergänzungen sowie aktualisierte Fallstudien und Beispiele - von Handelskriegen über Pandemien bis hin zur Klimakrise. Eine neue Ausgabe des begleitenden Arbeitsbuchs mit einer Fülle von Übungsaufgaben, die von einfachen Multiple-Choice-Fragen bis hin zu anspruchsvollen mathematischen Problemen und Fallstudien reichen samt Musterlösungen, ist separat erhältlich.

Ibidem Press In Dubio Pro Europa? An Analysis of the European External Action structures after the Treaty of Lisbon.
Book SynopsisHow did the Treaty of Lisbon change the institutional structure of the external action of the European Union? Did the reform meet the demands for a more coherent, efficient and consistent appearance of the EU on the international stage? Where are the deficits and how will they affect the future external relations politics of the European Union? Janina Henning''s study joins the ranks of numerous assessments that have been made of the current Post-Lisbon state in EU external action. By applying an in-depth analytical framework on the external relations structure before and after the Treaty of Lisbon, Henning is not only able to show structural deficits and political shortcomings. Her assessment also identifies promising improvements that could shape the EU external action in the future.

Brill International Law and Transition to Peace in
Book SynopsisIn International Law and Transition to Peace in Colombia, César Rojas-Orozco analyses the role of international law in transition from armed conflict to peace, by using the analytical framework of jus post bellum and Colombia as a case study. While contemporary attention to jus post bellum has focused on its theoretical development and regarding international warfare, this book is the first work to comprehensively assess the concept in practice and in the context of a non-international armed conflict. Discussing the creative formulas adopted in Colombia to conciliate international legal requirements and the practical needs of peace, the book offers concrete elements to understand the concept of jus post bellum as a framework to guide other transitions around the world.Table of ContentsAcknowledgments List of Abbreviations Introduction 1 Transition to Peace as a Matter of International Law 2 A Framework on the Legal Dimension of Transition: Jus Post Bellum 3 The Relevance of the Colombian Transition 4 Empirical Analysis from the Perspective of niac s 5 Purpose of the Study 6 Methodological Considerations 7 Structure of the Book 1 Jus Post Bellum A Normative Framework for the Transition from Armed Conflict to Peace 1 Approaches to a Definition 1.1 A New Legal Regime 1.2 Ordering System of Norms, Practices, and Discourses 1.3 Interpretative Framework 2 Principles of Jus Post Bellum 3 Temporal and Functional Approach to Jus Post Bellum 4 The Object of Jus Post Bellum 5 Jus Post Bellum and Related Concepts 5.1 Transitional Justice 5.2 Lex Pacificatoria 6 Jus Post Bellum in Non-International Armed Conflicts 7 Conclusions 2 International Law in the Colombian Transition 0 A General Overview of the Colombian Armed Conflict and Its Transition to Peace 0.1 Origin and Evolution of the Armed Conflict 0.2 Transitional Legal Mechanisms in the Ongoing Conflict 0.3 Peace Process and Final Agreement (2012–2016) 1 The Legal Status of the Peace Agreement 1.1 The Discussion on the Domestic or International Legal Status of Internal Peace Agreements 1.2 Formulas of Normative Internationalization of the Colombian Peace Agreement 1.2.1 The Peace Agreement as a Special Agreement under ihl 1.2.2 The Peace Agreement as a Document of the UN Security Council 1.3 Consequences of the Peace Agreement’s International Legal Status 2 Socioeconomic and Political Reforms 2.1 Legal and Policy Framework on Socioeconomic and Political Reforms for Transition to Peace 2.2 Socioeconomic and Political Reforms in the Colombian Peace Agreement 3 Criminal Justice 3.1 Legal Framework on Amnesties and Criminal Responsibility 3.1.1 Amnesties at the End of niac s 3.1.2 The Duty to Prosecute International Crimes 3.2 Conciliating Peace and Justice in Peace Negotiations 3.3 The Colombian Approach: A Negotiated System of Criminal Justice 3.3.1 The Precedent of the Justice and Peace Law 3.3.2 The Special Jurisdiction for Peace 4 Reparations for Victims 4.1 Legal Framework on Reparations for Victims of Armed Conflict 4.1.1 The Right to Reparation in International Law 4.1.2 Reparations for Armed Conflict-related Violations of Human Rights and ihl 4.2 Colombian Approach to Reparations 4.2.1 Judicial Reparation: Justice and Peace Law 4.2.2 Comprehensive Administrative Reparations: Law on Victims and Land Restitution 4.2.3 Reparations in the 2016 Peace Agreement 5 Inclusive Transitions 5.1 Legal Framework on Inclusiveness 5.1.1 On Women and Gender Issues 5.1.2 On Ethnic Minorities Issues 5.1.3 On the Participation of Victims and Civil Society in General 5.2 The Colombian Approach 5.2.1 Differential Approach for the Attention and Reparation of Victims of Armed Conflict 5.2.2 Participation of Victims and Civil Society in the Peace Negotiations 5.2.3 Differential Gender and Ethnic Approaches in the Peace Agreement 6 Conclusions 3 Jus Post Bellum Viewed from the Colombian Transition 1 A Definition of Jus Post Bellum from the Colombian Experience 2 The Formation and Operation of Jus Post Bellum 3 Principles of Jus Post Bellum identified in the Colombian Case 3.1 Reconstruction and Transformation 3.2 Criminal Accountability 3.3 Reparation 3.4 Reconciliation 3.5 Proportionality 3.6 Inclusiveness 3.7 Environmental Protection 4 The Actors of Jus Post Bellum in Colombia 4.1 The Parties in Negotiation 4.2 External Guarantors 4.3 The Colombian Constitutional Court 4.4 The Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court 4.5 The Inter-American System of Human Rights 4.6 Victims and Civil Society Organizations 4.7 Insights on the Type and Role of Actors of Jus Post Bellum 5 The Functions Played by International Law in the Colombian Transition: Possible Functions of Jus Post Bellum? 5.1.

Drawing from the international controversy regarding the risks and benefits of capital liberalisation, the book argues that the broad interpretation of ‘capital restrictions’ under Article 63 TFEU has significant consequences for national political economy choices and investigates the extent to which the existing legal framework set out in the Treaties offers room for reconciling economic integration with societal values.Table of Contents Introduction i Bridging the Gap between the State and the Market in the Context of Capital Liberalisation ii Academic and Societal Relevance iii Structure of the Book 1 Capital Liberalisation at the International and the European Level i Capital Liberalisation at the International Level A The Theoretical Controversy about Capital Liberalisation B The International Legal Framework Governing Capital Liberalisation ii Capital Liberalisation at the European Level A A Historical Overview 1 Treaty of Rome: The Early Tentative Steps 2 The Council Directives 3 The Maastricht Treaty B The Current Legal Framework 1 The Scope of Article 63 tfeu a) Territorial Scope b) Material Scope i) Difference between Capital Movements and Payments ii) Definition of Capital Movements c) Relationship with the Other Freedoms 2 Direct Effect of Article 63 tfeu 3 Restrictions 4 Derogations a) Treaty-based Derogations i) Article 65 tfeu ii) Derogations Applicable only to Capital Movements to/from Third Countries b) Overriding Reasons in the Public Interest 5 Proportionality 2 Free Movement of Capital and Privatisations i The Theoretical Underpinnings of Privatisation A Definition of Privatisation B The Theoretical Controversy about Privatisation ii Privatisation and EU law A The Politico-economic Context B The Legal Framework: The Principle of Neutrality under Article 345 tfeu 1 The ‘Maximalist Shield’ Interpretation 2 The ‘Reductionist Shield’ Interpretation 3 The ‘Sword’ Interpretation 4 Assessment of the Three Interpretations 3 Free Movement of Capital and Golden Shares i Understanding the Theoretical Controversy Surrounding Golden Shares A Definition of Golden Shares B Golden Shares as Control Enhancing Mechanisms C The Principle of Proportionality between Ownership and Control D Varieties of Capitalism: Liberal Market Economies v Coordinated Market Economies E Corporate Governance and EU Law F The Takeover Directive and the Golden Shares Case Law ii Legal Issues Arising from the Golden Shares Case Law A The Horizontal Application of Article 63 tfeu in the Golden Shares Case Law 1 The Concept of ‘Horizontality’ in Constitutional Law 2 Horizontal Effect in EU Law a) Defrenne: Horizontal Effect of Equal Pay b) Walrave & Koch and Bosman: Horizontal Effect of Free Movement of Workers – Federation Exercising Regulatory Powers c) Angonese: Horizontal Effect of Free Movement of Workers – Discriminatory Private Conduct d) Viking and Laval: Horizontal Effect of Freedom of Establishment and Services – Trade Unions e) Dansk Supermarked, Van de Haar and Fra.bo: Horizontal Effect of Free Movement of Goods f) ams and Egenberger: Horizontal Effect of the Charter 3 Horizontal Effect of Article 63 tfeu a) The Case Law Regarding the Horizontal Effect of Article 63 tfeu b) Scholarly Opinions on the Horizontal Effect of Article 63 tfeu c) Granting horizontal effect to Article 63 tfeu B Public Interest Objectives as Justification Grounds in the Golden Shares Case Law 1 The Objective of Safeguarding Energy Supplies in the Event of a Crisis as Covered by Public Security under Article 65 (1) (b) tfeu 2 The Objective of Ensuring Availability of the Telecommunications Network in the Event of a Crisis as Covered by Public Security under Article 65 (1) (b) tfeu 3 The Objective of Guaranteeing a Service of General Interest as an Overriding Reason in the Public Interest 4 Article 106 (2) tfeu 5 Protection of Workers and of Minority Shareholders 6 Economic Rule C Proportionality in the Golden Shares Case Law D The Definition of ‘Capital Restrictions’ in the Golden Shares Case Law 1 The Concept of ‘Restrictions’ in the Free Movement of Goods a) The Pre-Keck Case Law on meeqr s b) The Keck Ruling and the Introduction of the Concept of ‘Selling Arrangements’ c) The Post-Keck ‘Market Access’ Test 2 The Application of Keck in the Other Freedoms (Workers, Services and Establishment) 3 ‘Selling Arrangements’ in the Golden Shares Case Law 4 In Search of a Refined Test for ‘Capital Restrictions’ Conclusion Bibliography Index

T.M.C. Asser Press Netherlands Yearbook of International Law 2020:
Book SynopsisThis volume of the Netherlands Yearbook of International Law (NYIL) addresses the question how the assumption that states have a common obligation to achieve a collective public good can be reconciled with the fact that the 195 states of today’s world are highly diverse and increasingly unequal in terms of size, population, politics, economy, culture, climate and historical development. The idea of common but differentiated responsibilities is on paper the perfect bridge between the factual inequality and formal equality of states. The acknowledgement that states can have common but still different – more or less onerous – obligations is predicated on the moral and legal concept of global solidarity. This book encompasses general contributions on the function and the content of the related principles, chapters that describe and evaluate how the principles work in a specific area of international law and chapters that address their efficiency and broader ramifications, in terms of compliance, free-rider behaviour and shifting balances of power. The originality of the book resides in the integration of conceptual, comparative and practical dimensions of the principles of global solidarity and common but differentiated responsibilities. The book is therefore highly recommended reading for both academics with a theoretical interest and those working within international organisations. The Netherlands Yearbook of International Law was first published in 1970. It offers a forum for the publication of scholarly articles in a varying thematic area of public international law.Table of ContentsPart I.

City University of Hong Kong Press The Concept of Proportionality in Public Law
Book SynopsisProportionality is a German, and thus continental European, concept in public law that is applied by both the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) and the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR). The principle specifies that measures adopted by executive authorities should not exceed the limits of what is appropriate and necessary in order to achieve legitimate objectives in the interest of the public. Using a functional comparative approach, this book evaluates the extent to which proportionality has been integrated into the English and Hong Kong judicial systems by comparing case law in these courts with that of the CJEU and the ECtHR. The text also reviews the development of proportionality and presents a topical understanding of why its adoption and application have encountered difficulties in some jurisdictions, such as the United Kingdom and Hong Kong. Written by a scholar with experience from both within the Hong Kong judicial system and from international research, this book is the first all-encompassing reference for legal practitioners. With its exploration of alternatives to proportionality and particular cases where issues of proportionality have arisen, this text is highly relevant in legal climates worldwide.

NUS Press The ASEAN Charter: A Commentary
Book SynopsisForty years after the Bangkok Declaration, which established the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), a new document was drafted as a result of “bold and visionary recommendations” of an ASEAN Committee of Eminent Persons. The ASEAN Charter, which came into force in 2008, provides ASEAN’s legal status and institutional framework. In effect, it is a legally binding agreement among the 10 ASEAN Member States. And while the strength of ASEAN’s legal character has yet to be fully tested, the Charter is important as a statement of shared norms and aspirations.Written by one of the persons involved in the negotiations leading to the adoption of the Charter, this meticulously researched publication helps readers navigate the ambiguities of the Charter by detailing an insider’s background, provision by provision, of the debates that went into the making of the ASEAN Charter. It not only explains how the provisions of the Charter came to be drafted, but also how they relate to therealities of diplomatic practice. This volume will be an indispensable reference for scholars, working diplomats, and businesses and institutions that have a stake in ASEAN.

Springer Verlag, Singapore The Territory of Japan: Its History and Legal
Book SynopsisThis Open Access book carefully examines the legal and historical bases of the territory of Japan as a modern State from the Meiji period to 2002. A new preface summarizes key developments in the situation up through 2022.Japan’s current territory is stipulated by the Potsdam Declaration (1945) and the Treaty of Peace with Japan (1951); it includes the Northern Territories, the Senkaku Islands, and Takeshima. Japan has demanded the return of the Northern Territories, comprising the islands of Etorofu, Kunashiri, Shikotan and Habomai, which are occupied by Russia. China has claimed sovereignty over the Senkaku Islands, which are validly controlled by Japan; Japan has claimed sovereignty over Takeshima, which is occupied by the Republic of Korea.This book analyzes the current status of these territorial topics, drawing on historical documents and international legal precedent, and it suggests peaceful methods to address them. In discussing territorial land, sea, and air space, this work touches upon postwar concepts defining modern international law and relevant rules on these subjects—exclusive economic zones (EEZs), continental shelves, and air defense identification zones (ADIZs)—found in international treaties, such as the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), and related domestic laws.Table of ContentsChapter 1.Development of Japan’s Territory.- Chapter 2.The Northern Territories (Kunashiri Island, Etorofu Island, Habomai Islands, and Shikotan Island).- Chapter 3.The Senkaku Islands.- Chapter 4.
