Oxford University Press Constitutional Fragments
Book SynopsisIn recent years a series of scandals have challenged the traditional political reliance on public constitutional law and human rights as a safeguard of human well-being. Multinational corporations have violated human rights; private intermediaries in the internet have threatened freedom of opinion, and the global capital markets unleashed catastrophic risks. All of these phenomena call for a response from traditional constitutionalism. Yet it is outside the limits of the nation-state in transnational politics and outside institutionalized politics, in the ''private'' sectors of global society that these constitutional problems arise. It is widely accepted that there is a crisis in traditional constitutionalism caused by transnationalization and privatization. How the crisis can be overcome is one of the major controversies of modern political and constitutional theory. This book sets out an answer to that problem. It argues that the obstinate state-and-politics-centricity of traditionaTrade Reviewsociologists of law and constitutionalism now have powerful methodological tools, a sociological conceptual framework, and invaluable sources of the new constitutional imagination which has capacity to accommodate even recent elaborations on Nietzsche's theory of command structures * Jiri Priban (Cardiff University), Journal of Law and Society *Table of Contents1.

Oxford University Press, USA The International Law of Property
Book SynopsisDoes a right to property exist under international law? The traditional answer to this question is no: a right to property can only arise under the domestic law of a particular nation. But the view that property rights are exclusively governed by national law is obsolete. Identifiable areas of property law have emerged at the international level, and the foundation is now arguably being laid for a comprehensive international regime. This book provides a detailed investigation into this developing international property law. It demonstrates how the evolution of international property law has been influenced by major economic, political, and technological changes: the embrace of private property by former socialist states after the end of the Cold War; the globalization of trade; the birth of new technologies capable of exploiting the global commons; the rise of digital property; and the increasing recognition of the human right to property.The first part of the book analyzes how international law impacts rights in specific types of property. In some situations, international law creates property rights, such as rights in aboriginal lands, deep seabed minerals, and satellite orbits. In other areas, it harmonizes property rights that arise at the national level, such as rights in intellectual property, rights in foreign investments, and security interests in personal property. Finally, it restricts property rights that may be recognized at the national level, such as rights in celestial bodies, contraband, and slaves. The second part of the book explores the thesis that a global right to property should be recognized as a general matter, not merely as a moral precept but rather as an entitlement that all nations must honour. It establishes the components of such a right, arguing that the right to property at the international level should be seen in the context of five key components of ownership: acquisition, use, destruction, exclusion, and transfer. This highly innovative book makes an important contribution to how we conceptualize the protection of property and to the understanding that much of this protection now takes place at the international level.Table of ContentsPART I: INTRODUCTION ; 1.

Cambridge University Press An Introduction to the International Criminal Court
Book SynopsisThe International Criminal Court ushered in a new era in the protection of human rights. The Court prosecutes genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and the crime of aggression when national justice systems are either unwilling or unable to do so themselves. This fifth edition of the seminal text describes a Court which is no longer in its infancy; the Court is currently examining situations that involve more than twenty countries in every continent of the planet. This book considers the difficulties in the Court's troubled relationship with Africa, the vagaries of the position of the United States, and the challenges the Court may face as it confronts conflicts around the world. It also reviews the history of international criminal prosecution and the Rome Statute. Written by a leading commentator, it is an authoritative and up-to-date introduction to the legal issues involved in the creation and operation of the Court.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Manufacturing Sovereignty
Book SynopsisThis book delves into the legal and labour history of Hashemite, Iraq to explore the role international law and its institutions played in Iraq's state formation. Focusing on this specific time and place in international legal history, it shows how Iraq was a laboratory for experimentation with the concept of sovereignty. One direct result of this was the development of the doctrine of semi-peripheral sovereignty. This study traces how this doctrine impacts on the everyday lives of working class Iraqis by looking at its influence on imperial law, land law, the transnational law of oil concessions and pipeline agreements, criminal law and emergency law. It takes case studies including the production and trade of the oil fields in Kirkuk, railways in Baghdad and Basra, looking at how workers organized themselves. This unique approach shows in a very real way how international law was the force for key employment practice developments in an emerging nation state.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC The Standard of Review before the International
Book SynopsisThis book examines how the International Court of Justice (ICJ) reviews State behaviour through the prism of the standard of review.It develops a novel rationale to support the ICJ's application of deferential standards of review as a judicial avoidance technique, based on strategic considerations. It then goes on to empirically assess all 31 decisions of the Court in which the standard of review was at issue, showing how the Court determines that standard, and answering the question of whether it varies its review intensity strategically.As a result, the book's original contribution is two-fold: establishing a new rationale for judicial deference (that can be applied to all international courts and tribunals); and providing the first comprehensive, empirical analysis of the ICJ's standards of review. It will be beneficial to all scholars of the Court and those interested in judicial strategy.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC An Introduction to the International Law of Armed Conflicts
Book SynopsisThis book provides a modern and basic introduction to a branch of international law constantly gaining in importance in international life, namely international humanitarian law (the law of armed conflict). It is constructed in a way suitable for self-study. The subject-matters are discussed in self-contained chapters, allowing each to be studied independently of the others. Among the subject-matters discussed are, inter alia: the Relationship between jus ad bellum / jus in bello; Historical Evolution of IHL; Basic Principles and Sources of IHL; Martens Clause; International and Non-International Armed Conflicts; Material, Spatial, Personal and Temporal Scope of Application of IHL; Special Agreements under IHL; Role of the ICRC; Targeting; Objects Specifically Protected against Attack; Prohibited Weapons; Perfidy; Reprisals; Assistance of the Wounded and Sick; Definition of Combatants; Protection of Prisoners of War; Protection of Civilians; Occupied Territories; Protective Emblems; Sea Warfare; Neutrality; Implementation of IHL.Trade Review...a succinct, but authoritative, overview that is suitable for the many law and undergraduate course now offered in this rather popular but gruesome subject. Amercian Society of International Law newsletter Issue 39 May 2009 Robert Kolb's and Richard Hyde's "Introduction to the International Law of Armed Conflicts"... is not only timely, but in fact closes a significant gap in the didactic legal literature...This contribution reflects a formidable balance between the simplicity and accessibility of an introductory volume and the comprehensiveness and depth of a full-fledged legal textbook...Students constitute the target audience ...and I highly recommend ths instructive contribution to them. Robert Geia German Yearbook of International Law Vol. 51, 2008 Resolument oriente vers l'apprentissage, cet ouvrage constitue un veritable qui rendra service aux jurists en formation ainsi qu'a toute personne ayant a connaitre les bases du droit international humanitaire. S.R.-C Annuaire Francais de Droit International October 2009 The educational role of this book is evident, as each section, covering roughly 5-15 pages, includes a learning objective, an analysis of the topic discussed and a comprehension check with questions and answers. This last part is equally interesting and worth reading, as it provides further clarifications of the law or gives practical examples on how the law should be interpreted and applied in practice. The book is not technical, as it is written in simple and accessible language for every student or professional, who is interested in humanitarian law and is not familiar with the topic. Additionally it could serve as a textbook for academic use or as a tool of dissemination of humanitarian law rules to the general public. As the titles reveals, it is an introduction and therefore it is not addressed to people with substantial prior knowledge in the law of armed conflict. On the other hand it offers much more than just a basic introduction, while it is also comprehensive enough, without the need to resort to the text of the relevant treaties. Overall the book provides the essential information on the law of armed conflict, while it functions as an appetizer for a deeper study of this area.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Implementing the Climate Regime: International
Book SynopsisGlobal warming is the most severe environmental challenge faced by humanity today and the costs of responding effectively will be high. While Russia's ratification of the Kyoto Protocol ensures the treaty's entry into force, lack of capacity, or incentives to renege on their commitments, will impede mitigation efforts in many countries. An important prerequisite for the proper functioning of the Protocol is that its compliance system - which is spelled out by the Marrakesh Accords - proves effective. Implementing the Climate Regime describes and analyses Kyoto's compliance system. Organized into four parts, Part I describes the emergence and design of the compliance system, while Part II analyses various challenges to its effective operation - such as the development of norms, verification and the danger that the use of punitive 'consequences' may also hurt compliant countries. Part III discusses the potential role of external enforcement, with particular emphasis on trade sanctions. Part IV addresses the relationship between Kyoto compliance on one hand, and international governance, oil companies and green NGOs on the other.Trade Review'Whatever can now be known about the factors shaping compliance and how to respond to potential non-compliance with the Kyoto Protocol is superbly covered by Implementing the Climate Regime.'

Taylor & Francis Ltd Dictionary and Introduction to Global
Book SynopsisThis unique dictionary and introduction to Global Environmental Governance (GEG), written and compiled by two veterans of the international stage, provides a compilation of over 5500 terms, organizations and acronyms, drawn from hundreds of official sources. An introductory essay frames the major issues in GEG and outlines the pitfalls of talking past one another when discussing the most critical of issues facing the planet. It challenges those who are concerned with the management of our planet and its inhabitants to understand and accept a vocabulary common to the often-opposing objectives sought in the many GEG instruments. The result is a practical tool that should find a central place on the desk of anyone involved in environmental management, development or sustainability issues anywhere in the world, including the United Nations, government policy makers, NGOs and other stakeholder groups, the business community, and students and professionals. This fully revised and updated edition contains over 500 new entries and acronyms on global environmental governance as well a new introductory section on global water governance, one of the most pressing environmental issues in our era of climate change, growing populations and food shortages.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Reforming International Institutions: Another
Book SynopsisThere is now considerable unanimity that international organizations such as the United Nations, the World Trade Organization (WTO), Bretton Woods Institutions and the international economic architecture need to be reformed in order to achieve greater democratic governance to tackle the myriad of challenges facing the world. Written by leading members of the international community under the auspices of the World Forum of Civil Society Networks - UBUNTU, this book provides a diverse and rich resource on all aspects of the reform of international organizations. The book introduces the reader to the main organizations of the international multilateral system, presents proposals for reform and provides an analysis of the political action required to achieve global democratic governance. Trade Review'Neither 'business as usual' nor the 'status quo ante' are acceptable options. This UBUNTU book makes an important contribution to informing the increasingly urgent debate around creating the conditions for a much more just, democratic and sustainable world.' Jomo Kwame Sundaram, UN Assistant Secretary General for Economic Development. 'Reforming international institutions is an idea whose time has come, and the UBUNTU Forum is well placed to keep the momentum going. Its approach is inclusive, non-confrontational, and most likely to convince political leaders, senior officials from international organizations and civil society activists to work together to achieve a common goal: a safer, healthier, better world, for all to enjoy and leave to their children.'

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC The Public International Law Study Guide for Students: Exercises and Answers
Book SynopsisA sound understanding of public international law is indispensable for any lawyer, whether working in an international or domestic context. It is therefore important that students have a thorough theoretical understanding of international law issues, and are able to apply the relevant international legal rules to a given set of facts, so as to arrive at a legally coherent conclusion. This practical aspect of learning international law is often neglected in favour of more theoretical aspects - which is where this book comes in. The book offers a series of hypothetical practical cases in public international law, including some of its specialised branches, such as international human rights law and international criminal law. It challenges students to practise and familiarise themselves with the methodology and to write solutions to practical international legal questions. The book is in two parts: part one contains practical (exam-like) questions, while part two contains the solutions. The practical questions in part one are organised by subject, such as treaty law or state responsibility. One chapter is dedicated to more complex 'interconnected' cases, where students are asked to tackle problems which span multiple potential cases and topics. ENDORSEMENT 'An extremely interesting and innovative text that students studying Public International Law should find invaluable.' Associate Professor Joanne Sellick Associate Dean for Teaching and Learning, University of PlymouthTrade ReviewThis is a clearly-written and informative book that helps students to assess and apply their knowledge to specific problem scenarios and then check their own draft answers with the authors' suggested solutions. It should appeal to students on general public international law courses as an effective self-assessment tool and also to lecturers as an inspiration for setting seminar/workshop materials. -- Ali Raiss-Tousi * Birkbeck University of London *Table of ContentsIntroduction and General Presentation 1.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Trust in Biobanking: Dealing with Ethical, Legal
Book SynopsisBiobanks are promising instruments of biomedical research and of transnational medicine in particular. Ethical, legal and social issues associated with biobanking, however, have recently led to a more critical view on this concept. All efforts addressing these concerns have been grounded on well-established standards of biomedical ethics such as informed consent procedures, protection of individual autonomy, benefit sharing etc. By additionally highlighting the widely neglected aspect of trust, this book aims at broadening the horizon of the ELSI-debate and thus filling a gap in current research on biobanking. The contributions of leading experts and junior researchers cover a wide field of disciplines relevant for biobanking including law, ethics, medicine, public health, social sciences, philosophy and theology. Table of ContentsFrom the contents: Framing the Field of Biobanking and Trust.- Ethical Issues.- Legal Issues.- Social Issues.

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.

Brill Neo-Liberal Globalism and Social Sustainable Globalisation
Book SynopsisAccording to mainstream economic thinking, inspired by the ideas of Smith, Ricardo and others, globalisation of the world economy is profitable. But unlike these classic writers, neoliberal economists pay little attention to the moral and social consequences of economic policies. Despite the fact that present social circumstances differ a great deal from those in the time of Smith and Ricardo they keep maintaining that “an invisible hand” will further social ends. In doing so they ignore growing poverty worldwide and the exclusion of countries from the international legal order and of people from the right to social participation and freedom. This book pays attention to economic aspects of globalisation and also to philosophical, legal, social, cultural, ethical and ecological aspects. Its aim is to contribute to possible solutions for worldwide problems that accompany the globalisation process.Table of ContentsPreface Acknowledgements Notes on the Contributors Abbreviations 1.

Brill The Ethical Economy of Conflict Prevention and Development: Towards a Model for International Organizations
Book SynopsisCentral to the current development debate is the importance of human welfare in the context of group conflict. When considering ethnic, racial and religious conflict, this debate draws us toward a 'political economy' of conflict. Moreover, notions of an economic paradigm have become prominent when international organizations debate conflict prevention. In looking closer at the political economy of conflict, this publication argues the need to assimilate into our thinking distinct social and ethical economies of conflict prevention. A social economy of conflict prevention considers the interplay of economic with structural and cultural factors in conflict, explaining a much neglected category of conflict, i.e. hidden conflict. The ethical economy of conflict prevention considers implicit ethical statements development practitioners use. From these statements arise ethical paradoxes that influence the evolving economic paradigm, in such way as to contradict one of its intrinsic desires, namely, to restrict conflict prevention strategies to effective technical interventions. Eventually, such narrow focus on technical interventions could identify this evolving paradigm as an 'economical' paradigm. In contrast, a rethinking of the ethical economy of conflict prevention provides a useful tool for international organizations when implementing a human rights-based approach to development and long-term conflict prevention.

Brill The Netherlands in Court: Essays in Honour of Johan G. Lammers
Book SynopsisThe work of legal practitioners in the field of international law, particularly when working in a ministry of foreign affairs, takes place at the crossroads of international relations and international law. The legal advisers of ministries of foreign affairs provide advice on the content of international law, and how it should be interpreted and applied in a particular situation. Since Johan Lammers became Legal Adviser, the Netherlands – quite unexpectedly – was increasingly facing situations in which it would become involved in litigation concerning international law. The first essays in this collection deal with actual or potential interstate disputes involving the Netherlands before international courts and arbitral tribunals, followed by articles with respect to international courts and other international bodies before which individuals may appear as applicant or defendant. The final set of essays deal with the increasing number of cases in which international law is invoked in national court proceedings. This work provides insight into the role of the international legal practitioners working for the government of the Netherlands and should be of particular interest to their colleagues in other foreign ministries and other lawyers interested in a reflection on the law in action.

Brill NGO Involvement in International Governance and Policy: Sources of Legitimacy
Book SynopsisInternationally operating nongovernmental organisations, NGOs, are increasingly involved in international politics and policy making. In many respects their involvement resembles activities and policies that, until recently, were typical of traditional national authorities. This book is about the reasons for which NGOs can and the reasons for which NGOs cannot be considered as rightful participants in international governance. It tries to deliver rationally defensible starting points for the discussion and the assessment of claims for the legitimacy of their organizations and activities. The book focuses on the question: What conditions must ideally be met for an organization to be called truthfully legitimate, be it or be it not as a matter of fact perceived as legitimate by the public? This does not mean that empirically descriptive questions are left aside. Practical feasibility is important even to a thoroughly normative conception of legitimacy. For that reason and for heuristic purposes, large parts of this book are dedicated to the ways in which NGOs and stakeholders perceive NGO legitimacy.Table of ContentsIntroduction; Anton Vedder; Chapter 1 Questioning the Legitimacy of Non-Governmental Organizations Anton Vedder; Chapter 2 Perceptions of the Legitimacy of International NGOs Vivien Collingwood and Louis Logister; Chapter 3 Internet Activities of NGOs and Legitimacy Anke van Gorp; Chapter 4 A Step Beyond: Technologically Enhanced Interactivity and Legitimacy Corien Prins; Chapter 5.

Brill An Introduction to International Law
Book SynopsisThis book touches upon the main subjects in public international law, with special emphasis on the application of international rules within the national legal orders. The treatment of the matter is based on the practice, particularly on the case law of international and domestic courts. The main characteristic of the book is the very extensive discussion of the role of domestic courts, as well as public officials, in order to achieve the effectiveness of international law. National judges, who are considered the principal addressees of the book, are viewed as a sort of propelling force behind international law to the extent that they use, as far as possible, the means provided by municipal law to ensure compliance with international law.

Brill The Protection Roles of UN Human Rights Special Procedures
Book SynopsisAs the system of human rights special procedures goes forward to deal with the continuing and new challenges of human rights protection it is of great value to record and recall the considerable body of practice and precedents they have developed for the protection of human rights since the first special procedure was established in the mid 1960s. That is the particular merit of this path-breaking book. The author, who was one of the pioneers in the establishment and operation of the system of special procedures, tells in this book the story of the establishment, history, operations, successes and challenges of the special procedures through the lens of efforts for international protection. In the introduction he summarises their protection roles, which he sets out further in the substantive chapters. In the conclusion he provides an assessment of their protection roles. He notes that while they contribute greatly, the challenges of international protection are still many, and the author invites the international community to a higher level of protection.Table of ContentsForeword; Ambassador Peter Maurer; Introduction; Chapter; I. Contemporary Challenges of International Protection; II. Origins, Essence and Foundations of Special Procedures; III. The Protection Roles of Country Mandates; IV.

Brill Multiculturalism and International Law: Essays in Honour of Edward McWhinney
Book SynopsisThis volume examines the role and influence of multiculturalism in general theories of international law; in the composition and functioning of international organizations such as the ICJ, the ILC, the UN, and the ICC; and in the progressive development of substantive international law regarding issues such as anti-terrorism, cultural identity, the Danish cartoons controversy, indigenous peoples, and cultural exemptions at the WTO. With Forewords from Boutros Boutros-Ghali and Shigeru Oda, this authoritative volume contains contributions from 36 distinguished scholars from every continent of the world tackling multiculturalism and international law—an ever more topical issue—in honour of, appropriately, Edward McWhinney, an eminent scholar who has spent a substantial part of his life promoting multiculturalism.Trade Review"The Subject of multiculturalism is here to stay and any further research on this issue will find an enormous wealth of onformation and thought in this book." - Peter Hilpold, Innsbruck, in: ZaöRV 70, Vol.1 (2010)Table of ContentsPREFACE by the Editors AVANT-PROPOS par Boutros Boutros-Ghali FOREWORD by Shigeru Oda E.
