In 38 Londres Street, Philippe Sands blends personal memoir, historical detective work and gripping courtroom drama to probe a secret double story of mass murder, one that reveals a shocking thread that links the horrors of the 1940s with those of our own times. The house at 38 Londres Street is home to the legacies of two men whose personal stories span continents, nationalities and decades of atrocity: Augusto Pinochet, President of Chile, and Walther Rauff, a Nazi SS officer responsible for the use of gas vans. On the run from justice at the end of the Second World War, Rauff crosses the ocean to southern Chile. He settles in Punta Arenas, Patagonia, managing a king crab cannery at the end of the world. But there are whispers about this discreet and self-possessed German - rumours of a second career with Pinochet's secret intelligence service, the dreaded DINA. In 1998, Pinochet is in a London medical clinic when the police enter his room and arrest him on charges of crimes against humanity and genocide. Philippe Sands is called to advise the former head of state on his claim to immunity, but will instead represent a human rights organisation against him. Years later, Sands makes a discovery while working on another book which reignites his interest in the case and leads to a decades-long investigation into Pinochet's crimes, his unexpected connection to Rauff and the former Nazi's possible connection to Chile's disappeared.

On Impunity, Pinochet in England and a Nazi in Patagonia

38 Londres Street

A clarion call to recognize soldiers' rights, arguing that volunteering to fight and die for one's country does not mean consenting to exploitation in the process. American leaders endlessly profess their admiration for military service members. But these effusive declarations hardly comport with reality. Soldiers receive shoddy equipment and inadequate medical care; they are ordered to commit crimes and deployed to illegal wars. Such treatment is rarely recognized for what it is: a violation of the duty owed to soldiers by their government. When American service members are injured or killed during training, for example, they and their families are barred from suing the military for negligence or malfeasance. And when the torture of detainees at Abu Ghraib came to light, the subsequent proceedings focused just on low-ranking perpetrators. The psychological harm done to the soldiers themselves by commanders who ordered them to commit torture in the first place went unacknowledged. Examining statutes, treaties, court cases, and congressional hearings, Saira Mohamed shows how the law encourages the treatment of soldiers as mere instruments, to be used and abused however the government wishes. She also unearths overlooked laws that point in the other direction, suggesting the possibility of robust protections for service members. Paradoxically, these get ignored in part because of the popular adulation of the military--the vision of service members as heroes who selflessly endure unlimited sacrifice. The all-volunteer nature of the force also promotes the misguided notion that soldiers have willingly accepted whatever mistreatment they might endure. What a Country Owes Its Soldiers shows how laws and mindsets can change, enabling genuine respect for soldiers' humanity. Acknowledging their rights can transform our understanding of those who fight America's wars, and of American warmaking itself.

What a Country Owes Its Soldiers

Law for Professionals

This book explores how law can safeguard the marine environment in the era of deep-sea mining.In our increasingly interconnected and resource-intensive world, the demand for mineral resources has reached unprecedented levels. Rapid industrialization, technological advancements, and a growing global population have intensified our reliance on minerals: for electronics, renewable energy systems, infrastructure, and manufacturing.This escalating demand has pushed humanity to explore new frontiers, with the deep sea emerging as a potential reservoir of untapped resources. As terrestrial deposits become harder to access, the allure of deep-sea minerals grows ever more compelling.Yet, with opportunity comes responsibility. Balancing economic interests with the preservation of fragile and largely unexplored deep-sea ecosystems requires robust and enforceable legal frameworks. Since the adoption of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea in 1982, international law has sought to govern ocean resources while protecting the environment.This book offers a meticulous examination of these legal frameworks, environmental considerations, and the governance of deep-sea mineral exploration. It provides a comprehensive foundation in ocean law, covering the intricacies of international regulations, state rights, regulatory challenges, and also addressing social dimensions and human rights considerations.

Divided Korea: Understanding Unification Narratives examines how different visions of Korean unification have been formed and contested across history, politics, and culture. From Cold War propaganda to digital diplomacy, or from South Korea’s democratic reforms to North Korea’s Juche ideology, the volume illustrates how unification is regarded as both hope and threat, promise and peril. By comparing Korea with other divided societies such as Germany and Cyprus, the book shows how narratives shape diplomacy, identity, and the prospects for reconciliation.

Timely and distinctive, this volume offers new insights into persistent geopolitical divides and is helpful for scholars, students, policymakers, and anyone interested in the future of the Korean peninsula.

Shortlisted for the 2026 Unwin Award Longlisted for the 2026 Jhalak Prize Polls show that over fifty per cent of us don't believe racism exists. In a world made for White people, The Science of Racism uses clear scientific research to expose what we know about racism, exactly how we know it, and what we can do about it. 'Charismatic and funny' - The Guardian 'Illuminating, surprising, unnerving, moving' - Sathnam Sanghera 'Short circuits the brain' - The Independent * British police are nine times more likely to use their tasers on Black people. * An item being advertised on eBay will sell for approximately twenty per cent less if a dark-skinned hand is shown in the photos. * Black Caribbean applicants have to apply for around fifty per cent more jobs in order to receive a positive response. Professor Keon West cuts through the divisive anecdotes and rhetoric with decades' worth of science - the data that reveals truths about racism that are shocking and tragic, but also (somehow) funny and entertaining. Whatever you've read before, this book will ensure that you never see racism in the same way again.

The Science of Racism

Die neue EU-Richtlinie über die Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence (CSDDD) ist bereits in Kraft und wird nach den jüngsten Änderungen auf EU-Ebene schrittweise ab 2028 für große Unternehmen und Konzerne EU-weit anwendbar. &nbsp;Sie verpflichtet Unternehmen, Menschenrechts- und Umweltstandards entlang ihrer gesamten Wertschöpfungskette zu prüfen, Risiken zu mindern und Abhilfe zu schaffen – mit Geldbußen bis zu 3 % des weltweiten Nettojahresumsatzes.
Für die Compliance-Welt markiert die CSDDD einen Paradigmenwechsel: Während sich Compliance bislang vor allem auf die eigene Organisation und den Selbstschutz konzentrierte, verlangt die Richtlinie nun Verantwortung über die Unternehmensgrenzen hinaus. Unternehmen müssen nicht nur ihr eigenes Verhalten steuern, sondern auch prüfen, wie ihre Geschäftspartner, Lieferanten und Auftragnehmer mit Menschenrechten, Umwelt und Ethik umgehen und welche bislang wenig beachteten Risiken in der Lieferkette bestehen. Auch Unternehmen, die nicht direkt CSDDD-pflichtig sind, werden diese Anforderungen in der Praxis zu spüren bekommen: CSDDD-pflichtige Kunden werden mit Nachdruck versuchen, Verantwortung und Pflichten weiterzugeben sowie Audit- und Kontrollrechte, Informationspflichten, Geschäftspartnerprüfungen und Compliance-Standards bei ihren Lieferanten einzufordern.
Dieses Buch zeigt, wie Unternehmen die CSDDD rechtlich fundiert, praxisorientiert und zugleich wirtschaftlich sinnvoll umsetzen können. Es verbindet juristische Anforderungen mit praktischen Leitlinien aus Compliance-, Risiko- und Nachhaltigkeitsmanagement und macht deutlich: Lieferkettensorgfalt ist keine Bürde, sondern eine strategische Chance.
Ausgehend von der historischen Entwicklung (Rana Plaza, Deepwater Horizon, UN-Leitprinzipien) werden die zentralen Pflichten der Richtlinie (Risikomanagement, Prävention, Abhilfe, Berichterstattung) erläutert und in konkrete Handlungsschritte übersetzt – inklusive Governance-Strukturen, Vertragspraxis, Due-Diligence-Tools, Schulung und Stakeholder-Kommunikation. Dabei werden immer wieder Unternehmensbeispiele und praktische Referenzen herangezogen, um zu zeigen, wie Unternehmen vergleichbare Herausforderungen bereits adressiert haben oder welche Lehren sich aus prominenten Fällen ziehen lassen. Ein eigenes Kapitel zeigt, wie Unternehmen durch glaubwürdige Umsetzung Vertrauen, Reputation und Wettbewerbsvorteile aufbauen. Das Buch richtet sich an Unternehmen jeder Größe, die CSDDD-Pflichten direkt oder indirekt betreffen, und liefert pragmatische Roadmaps für Compliance-Verantwortliche, Juristen, Nachhaltigkeitsmanager, Einkäufer, Risikomanager und Entscheidungsträger.

This book honours a remarkable legal thinker, David Feldman, whose influence on public law and on multiple generations of legal scholars and practitioners has been profound. It provides a unique set of insights into some of the most topical and enduring questions in public law (broadly conceived), through the reflections of a stellar line-up of contributors on key dimensions of David Feldman's rich body of work. Each chapter constitutes an original and important contribution to the field, taking David Feldman's seminal writings as a starting-point and developing contemporary, distinctive analytical perspectives. Like David Feldman's work itself, the book ranges across - and acknowledges and explores the porous relationships between - constitutional law, administrative law and human rights and civil liberties.

Constitutional Rights in Private Law

This book is the first comprehensive academic treatment of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) and employment rights, which has a global vocation demonstrated by having been ratified by 173 States since it was adopted in 1966. Workers' rights need protection and reinforcement. To achieve this aim, international human rights standards can play an important role. The ICESCR is the most important global UN instrument in this respect. It covers a wide range of employment rights, including the right to strike, and has global application. But it is not sufficiently developed and used, and national implementation often needs improvement. Part 1 of the book analyses general issues related to the Covenant, such as context, development, challenges, influences at the global and regional levels, interpretation and procedural elements. Part 2 deals with the specific provisions which are directly linked to the employment relation. The book is based on a thorough analysis, mainly, but not exclusively, of the case law of the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (CESCR), that is monitoring the national implementation of the Covenant. Together, the chapters in this book will empower academics and practitioners in labour law to find answers to relevant and practical problems in order to better enforce and improve workers' rights. The book is the result of a project by the 'Transnational Trade Union Rights' experts Network (TTUR), linked to the European Trade Union Institute (ETUI).

The Legitimacy Trap explores the institutional and human costs of state measures to shore up dubious legitimacy. It offers a comprehensive approach to assessing legitimacy and determining on that basis whether a state is in the legitimacy trap, a self-reinforcing spiral toward greater and wider illegitimacy, with the likely endpoint of committed authoritarianism.These propositions are tested against the case study of post-1997 Hong Kong, focusing on political contention and the resulting decline in freedoms during the 2010s. The book revisits key events to show how increasingly authoritarian state practices undermined political legitimacy, compromised legal institutions as they became embroiled in 'lawfare', and further legitimised civil society opposition. These events culminated in the 2020 national security law which signalled the end of liberalism in the territory. The book considers the operation of the legitimacy trap across a range of civil, political and legal spheres which offer lessons for other jurisdictions which may be susceptible to democratic backsliding.This book will appeal to readers interested in the intersection of politics, law and society, in human rights under democracy and authoritarianism, and in Hong Kong and China affairs.

The Legitimacy Trap

A personal chronicle of three key legal privacy battles that have defined the digital age and shaped the internet as we know it. From a seasoned leader in the field of digital privacy rights. Throughout her career, Cindy Cohn has been driven by a fundamental question: Can we still have private conversations if we live our lives online? Privacy’s Defender chronicles her thirty-year battle to protect our right to digital privacy and shows just how central this right is to all our other rights, including our ability to organize and make change in the world. Shattering the hypermasculine myth that our digital reality was solely the work of a handful of charismatic tech founders, the author weaves her own personal story with the history of Crypto Wars, FBI gag orders, and the post-9/11 surveillance state. She describes how she became a seasoned leader in the early digital rights movement, as well as how this work serendipitously helped her discover her birth parents and find her life partner. Along the way, she also details the development of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which she grew from a ragtag group of lawyers and hackers into one of the most powerful digital rights organizations in the world. Part memoir and part legal history for the general reader, the book is a compelling testament to just how hard-won the privacy rights we now enjoy as tech users are, but also how crucial these rights are in our efforts to combat authoritarianism, grow democracy, and strengthen other human rights.

My Thirty-Year Fight Against Digital Surveillance

Privacy's Defender

***THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER*** Winner of the PEN/John Kenneth Galbraith Award for Nonfiction In Peter Beinart's view, one story dominates Jewish communal life: that of persecution and victimhood. It is a story that erases much of the nuance of Jewish religious tradition and warps our understanding of Israel and Palestine. After Gaza, where Jewish texts, history and language have been deployed to justify mass slaughter and starvation, Beinart argues, Jews must tell a new story. After this war, whose horror will echo for generations, they must do nothing less than offer a new answer to the question: What does it mean to be a Jew? Beinart imagines an alternate narrative, which would draw on other nations' efforts at moral reconstruction and a different reading of Jewish tradition. A story in which Israeli Jews have the right to equality, not supremacy, and in which Jewish and Palestinian safety are not mutually exclusive but intertwined. One that recognizes the danger of venerating states at the expense of human life. Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza is a provocative argument that will expand and inform one of the defining conversations of our time. It is a book that only Peter Beinart could write: a passionate yet measured work that brings together his personal experience, his commanding grasp of history, his keen understanding of political and moral dilemmas, and a clear vision for the future.
