International Law and the Global South

This book provides comprehensive discussions on the instruments, mechanisms and debates relevant to tackling biopiracy and protecting the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities in that context.&nbsp;Biopiracy is one of the most controversial issues in the international society and indigenous peoples and local communities have been the main victim of biopiracy because although they have made enormous contributions to the conservation of biological and genetic resources and development of associated traditional knowledge, they have been rarely acknowledged and few benefits have been shared.Against this backdrop, this book surveys biopiracy cases around the world, analyses and discusses the international regimes relevant to biopiracy, and suggests possible ways forward; namely the instruments or mechanisms to tackle biopiracy and protect the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities based on the international regimes. It provides a comprehensive picture on the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities in the context of biopiracy by analysing international biodiversity, human rights and intellectual property regimes as a whole. Moreover, unlike others, this book also suggests how to improve domestic laws and institutions to tackle biopiracy and protect the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities to genetic resources and associated traditional knowledge in accordance with the international regimes by, for instance, providing the core elements of the model laws and institutions.For these reasons, the book will be a good guide for students and researchers who are interested in laws and policies on the (sustainable) use of biological and genetic resources. Particularly, given that with the adoption of the Nagoya Protocol, scientists (particularly, biologists) need to understand international biodiversity and intellectual property laws and institutions, this book will be useful for them. Moreover, as indigenous peoples and local communities are the main victim of biopiracy, this book will help indigenous rights activists and organizations working to protect their rights.

Protection of Bio-rights of Indigenous Peoples in International Law

Studies in International Law

This book explores the human right to leave any country - including one's own - in international law, and its applicability to externalised migration control. It develops a framework for interpreting the right and demonstrates how various externalisation measures violate it, leading to the international responsibility of states and international organisations. Analysing the work of international and regional systems enshrining the right and examining global externalisation practices, it demonstrates the radical reform required by states and international organisations to comply with the right to leave. Implementing the author's recommendations would compel the dismantlement of many current externalisation strategies and a re-imagining of the global (im)mobility regime. This book offers compelling insights for lawyers in the fields of international law, human rights and refugee law, as well as migration policymakers, practitioners and officials.

Women and the State

This book offers a pioneering and deeply insightful examination of one of the most challenging dilemmas in contemporary counterterrorism and international law: how to legally and morally assess the responsibility of female suicide bombers affiliated with terrorist groups such as Boko Haram. It exposes a critical legal blind spot where female bombers are caught in a 'grey zone' - neither fully prosecuted nor released - due to conflicting norms around gender, victimhood and terrorism. Drawing on extensive research including interviews, case studies of failed suicide bombers, and legal analysis of terrorism cases, it develops a novel culpability framework that moves beyond simplistic notions of guilt or innocence. By exploring the complex spectrum of moral and legal responsibility, this framework offers a much-needed tool for policymakers, judges, practitioners, academics and students dealing with terrorism, war crimes and transitional justice. It challenges prevailing gender stereotypes that often either criminalise women excessively or excuse them arbitrarily and instead provides a nuanced approach that recognises female bombers as individuals whose actions range from coerced victimhood to accountable perpetrators. More than a legal study, this book humanises the lived realities of women involved in violent extremism and highlights the urgent need for legal systems worldwide to adapt. It is essential reading for scholars, legal professionals, policymakers, and anyone interested in terrorism, gender, human rights and international justice.

Focusing on legal science and its application, this book comprehensively examines the knowledge system, methodology, and values of judgment formation from theoretical jurisprudence to practical application. Tracing the development of legal science, the book analyzes the core connotations of legal rationality, emphasizing the certainty, scientific nature, and ethical aspects of judgments. Through a profound analysis of legal rationality, evidentiary methods, and judicial procedures in the context of adjudication, the book demonstrates how to achieve "good law and good governance" in judicial practice, providing theoretical guidance and practical direction for legal professionals.

A blueprint for how we can collectively build a thriving world, from a leading behavioural scientistEat healthily, cut back on alcohol, quit smoking, cycle to work, fly less - we all know what we should be doing. So why aren't we?The answer is both simple and radical: the world is stacked against us. From the moment we wake up, our decisions are shaped by the shops we visit, the streets we walk, the ads we scroll through. These environments are not neutral. They are designed for our convenience and immediate gratification, and to serve the interests of four industries: tobacco, ultra-processed food, alcohol and fossil fuels.Together, these industries drive the climate crisis, from greenhouse gas emissions to deforestation, and contribute to at least one in four deaths worldwide. Yet we are told the problem is one of personal responsibility - that with more information, smarter habits or new technologies, we can change our behaviour.This book challenges those myths. Drawing on decades of cutting-edge science and compelling case studies from around the world, leading behavioural scientist Theresa Marteau explores what actually works, and why those in power keep failing to act on the evidence. From taxing sugary drinks in Mexico to redesigning streets in Paris, from restricting junk food advertising in London to electing more women to office, Marteau shows how proven interventions applied at scale could transform our health and the health of our planet.Clear-eyed and incisive, this is an inspiring blueprint for how together, citizens and governments can push back against corporate power and build a better, brighter future.

This book offers a profound exploration of the historical, cultural, and social dimensions of Brazil’s Indigenous peoples, with a particular focus on the Kaingang communities. Understanding these peoples is essential to interpreting Brazilian social thought, shaping national identity, promoting sustainability, and safeguarding fundamental rights.Indigenous culture (rooted in ancestral knowledge, cosmologies, and traditional ways of life) has not only shaped Brazilian society but also plays a vital role in environmental preservation and in proposing alternatives to contemporary global challenges. This book combines bibliographic and ethnographic research with the voices of Indigenous leaders, weaving narratives of memory, resistance, and identity in the face of coloniality, systemic violence, and territorial disputes.More than an academic study, this work is an invitation to listen and engage in dialogue. It amplifies Indigenous perspectives and underscores their significance in building a plural, just, and sustainable Brazil.

American Studies Now: Critical Histories of the Present

How policing has fundamentally shaped the Latinx experience.The history of Latinx groups in the United States has been marked, from the beginning, by experiences of criminalization and violence at the hands of law enforcement. Marisol LeBrón argues that policing has left an indelible mark on Latinx communities across the country and has come to shape our understanding of what it means to be Latinx. Spanning the nineteenth century to the present, Policed examines how policing became a key component in the formation of Latinx identity and political consciousness, and still lies at the heart of many pressing issues confronting Latinx communities today, including immigration, employment, health, and housing. More than simply telling a story of police brutality and harassment, LeBrón powerfully shows that Latinx people have continually resisted state violence and worked to build a more liberated future.
