An International Comparative Analysis

Forests are central to international security, peace, and justice, as they provide livelihoods for millions of impoverished people in developing countries. Threat's to the world's forests may result in a reduction in basic livelihood resources and will have significant consequences on a global scale. There is no existing international treaty on the protection of forests, with the result that their international protection is governed by disparate areas of international law and smaller-scale local initiatives. In this context, this book reviews the history of international law on forests, evaluating the effectiveness of the existing international legal framework to protect them. The book investigates the impact of the initiatives which have emerged in the absence of a dedicated international agreement, including Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) and forest certification, which are assessed in the wider context of the development of international environmental law. It also considers the role of regional forest agreements in the international protection of forests. It assesses the challenges to the effectiveness of international law governing forests, in particular the disparate nature of the law as it stands, and posits that the solution can be found in existing regional agreements. It argues that a more specific international treaty, consistent with the recent decisions of international courts on environmental protection and building on the experience of regional legal instruments, may offer an effective path forward.

Studies in International and Comparative Criminal Law

This book unveils gaps, inconsistencies, and barriers to accountability emerging from the intersections between IHL and ICL in the definition and treatment of indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks as jus in bello violations. The book identifies and explains the unresolved legal problems surrounding the prevention and control of indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks as international war crimes, and critically unpacks the macroscopic implications of these problems for international adjudications. It goes on to address the challenges posed by these attacks as key causes of civilian victimization in war. The author demonstrates that the Rome Statute of the ICC, legibus sic stantibus, does not allow to prosecute and punish the most recurring forms of indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks, crucially impairing the ability of this institution to pursue the objectives declared by its founding treaty. It concludes by offering two amendment proposals for the Rome Statute to bridge the gaps and overcome the antinomies identified.

A Practitioner's Guide to Maritime Boundary Delimitation remains the definitive guide for anyone involved in maritime boundary-making and dispute resolution, whether from within law, technical practice, academia, government or related fields. Drawing on the combined perspectives and extensive experience of its authors, the book provides a unique blend of legal and technical insights into the principles, methods and best practices of maritime delimitation, with a particular emphasis on international jurisprudence since the landmark North Sea Continental Shelf cases (1969) and advent of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (1982). This thoroughly updated edition covers key developments since 2016, such as the changing role of islands and rocks in delimitation, developments in seabed delimitation beyond 200 miles from the coast, climate change impacts and the growing role of non-binding third-party dispute resolution procedures. The book analyses 29 modern maritime boundary delimitation cases (including six new cases decided since the previous edition) and assesses their ongoing relevance today. Richly illustrated with full-colour maps by a leading technical expert in international dispute resolution, the book brings complex legal and geographical issues vividly to life. Cited frequently before international courts and tribunals—including the International Court of Justice and the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea—the first edition established itself as an essential resource. This new edition builds on this legacy, remaining an invaluable tool for practitioners, negotiators, litigators, and educators in maritime boundary law.

Exploring the Stories of Cultural Objects After Their Return

Beyond Restitution

AI and algorithms now drive modern warfare, shaping surveillance and targeting. While promising precision, these systems often mask significant, hidden civilian harm. Algorithms of War moves past the binary debate of prohibition versus promotion, focusing instead on preserving humanity through better design and governance. Drawing on testimony from conflicts around the world like Ukraine and Gaza, the book reveals how algorithmic logic can create dangerous distance between decision-makers and victims. Ultimately, it argues that humanity and a people-centred approach is essential to ensure accountability, strengthen civilian protection and legitimacy of military operations as AI continues to reshape the battlefield.

A Comparative Perspective

The Foundations of Tort Law in the Civilian Tradition

Does parole have a future? If it does, can we begin to imagine a different path? Is progressive penal reform possible, or has the time come to consider more radical alternatives in a context where there is little, if any, consensus on the underlying aims and techniques of contemporary prison release? What does this all mean for the prisoners, families, victims and publics upon whose confidence the parole system ultimately depends? This book brings together a world-leading panel of 27 experts who draw upon insights from law, sociology, criminology and political science to explore these pressing questions. At a time when many parole systems are experiencing considerable strain, the aims of this collection are twofold: first, to encourage systematic and critical reflection on the rationalities, institutions and practices of parole. Second, to think big, and pose ambitious 'what if' questions about the possible futures of parole and prison release. Offering novel insights from Asia, Australia, Europe, North America and South America, this collection builds the case for, and then showcases, a 'way of doing' parole research that is global in outlook, interdisciplinary in approach and unapologetically normative in character.

The U.S. Constitution is silent about a right to privacy, yet the Supreme Court determined in the 1965 reproductive rights case Griswold v. Connecticut, that such a right is inferred from the Bill of Rights. The reasoning in the landmark case hinged on an unexpected word--penumbra. The Court concluded, in other words, that the unmentioned right to privacy resides in the shadows of the amendments. But this was not the first time penumbral imagery was used in legal writings, and its broader cultural usage dates back much further. Jared Schroeder's The Penumbra Problem provides a much-need--and quite colorful--social and cultural history of the term. The penumbra concept, it turns out, wasn't an accidental choice but instead a well-selected term with centuries of transnational history. Schroeder tells its story through two intertwining narratives: first, how the word penumbra transcended its oblique scientific origins to become a distinct cultural concept; and, second, the parallel story of its evolving use in legal thought. The book tracks back and forth in time, creating an unexpected lineage of people and works who became unwitting champions of the penumbra concept, including mathematician Johannes Kepler, feminist activist Estelle Griswold, British thinker Robert Hooke, and lexicographer Noah Webster. Pairing these stories with the writings of great legal thinkers such as Willam Douglas and Oliver Wendell Holmes, Schroeder is able to construct a kind of etymological love letter to this obscure concept. Not everyone has supported the privacy precedent, though, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is danger today. Schroeder's clever, utterly unique history is, at its core, a call to redouble efforts to save the right to privacy. He argues that we must understand its ponderous, indeed uncertain, origins to fully appreciate the precarity in which it exists today, and only then can we adequately fight for it.

The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) represents the largest infrastructure project of its kind, spanning 3,000 km and linking two nations. This monograph is the first to provide a comprehensive analysis of the environmental governance gaps and reform pathways of the CPEC.Drawing on primary and secondary sources, project monitoring data and policy analysis, the book examines the reasons for the divergence in environmental standards between China and Pakistan. Pakistan's 27-year-old environmental legislation, fragmented provincial governance and limited regulatory capacity are inadequate for overseeing a USD 62+ billion corridor designed by a nation with advanced environmental institutions and robust enforcement mechanisms. Rather than merely critiquing current trajectories, the book proposes a three-pillar approach and a bilateral institutional framework in the form of a Joint CPEC Environmental Commission. This commission would have authority over Phase II projects (2025-2035) and could align infrastructure development with climate commitments and biodiversity protection.Through legal analysis and comparative institutional assessment, the book offers policymakers, civil society, and scholars a practical blueprint for sustainable transnational development.
