Grzebyk Patrycja: Human and Non-Human
Targets in Armed Conflicts

Human and Non-Human Targets in Armed Conflicts

Anthem Environment and Sustainability Initiative

This book considers the value of constitutional environmental rights in protecting water resources through an examination of the legal strategies utilized by communities engaged in protracted mining conflicts, including oil sands development in the Canadian boreal forest and gold mining in ecologically sensitive, glacier-rich areas of Argentina.

Water, Oil and Gold

The Power of Constitutional Rights in Resource Conflicts

Outlines the urgent response needed to address privatization, which has led to dramatic but largely overlooked consequences for human rights.

Destroying the Social Contract and Empowering Corporate Actors

Privatizing Human Rights

This collection brings together revised, updated and new essays on EU citizenship by one of the leading commentators in the field. This important collection argues, in the face of increasing pessimism (not least from other citizenship lawyers), that EU citizenship offers much to admire and celebrate. The author explores the question from three perspectives; firstly looking at the status of citizenship in Europe before moving onto perceived points of issue. Finally, the author sets out the added value of citizenship, concluding that despite all the challenges faced, it is well placed to deal with future challenges both in the medium and long term. This is an important statement on the current and future status of a key tenet of European Union law by one of its leading commentators, and will be required reading for all scholars in the field.

Studies in Private International Law - Asia

This book is the only reference in English on private international law in Uzbekistan. Dispelling a common misconception that the law of ex-USSR countries is largely the same, the book provides an authoritative account of private international law in Uzbekistan, as well as the role the country plays in the harmonisation of private international law in the region and beyond. The chapters provide authoritative guidance on conflict-of-law rules, issues of jurisdiction in contractual and non-contractual matters, as well as the practice and procedure of enforcement of foreign judgements and arbitral awards in Uzbekistan. The book is the first that systematically explores private international law in Uzbekistan and is an essential tool in understanding the peculiarities of the country and their impact on legal practice.

New Perspectives on Classical Topics

China and the World

This classic textbook provides a thorough overview of European private international law. It is essential reading for students and practitioners of private international law and transnational litigation, wherever they may be located: the European rules extend beyond European shores. Opening with foundational questions, the book clearly explains the subject's central tenets: the Brussels I, Rome I and Rome II Regulations (jurisdiction, applicable law for contracts and tort). Additional chapters explore private international law and insolvency, freedom of establishment, and the impact of private international law on corporate social responsibility. The relevant Hague instruments, and the impact of Brexit, are fully integrated in the various chapters. Drawing on the author's rich experience, the new edition retains the book's hallmarks of insight and clarity of expression, ensuring it maintains its position as the leading textbook in the field.

Commercial Litigation in the EU

European Private International Law

Governments around the world are privatizing everything, with dramatic but largely ignored negative consequences for human rights. This open access book outlines the response that is urgently needed. Corporations are being given control over water, healthcare, housing, public transportation, child welfare services, aged care, and much else. Privatization is promoted by international financial institutions, consulting firms, and development actors as the answer to public finances devastated by the very tax cuts insistently pushed by these groups. Their pitch is based upon a mythology that extols the virtues of an idealized market while ignoring the heavy human rights costs incurred. Building on the latest evidence and on specially commissioned case studies, this book shows how the touted 'efficiency' of the private sector is often predicated on higher charges and/or reduced services, destructive employment practices, and the highly predictable exclusion of many users. Privatization generally costs states more money, marginalizes democratic decision-making, and transforms citizens from rights-holders into customers while sidelining accountability. The authors develop an approach designed to enable human rights actors, including courts, UN treaty monitoring bodies, and NGOs to move beyond their longstanding agnosticism towards privatization. It starts with a presumption that privatization is inherently retrogressive in human rights terms. Whatever mix of public and private is reflected in any given arrangement, governments must retain the degree of control necessary to ensure respect for rights, and the legal, financial and administrative ability to do so. The book charts a new direction for responding to the ever-growing threat that privatization poses to human rights.

Studies in Private International Law

This groundbreaking book offers an in-depth exploration of the complex and evolving landscape of the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments across Africa. Covering more than 26 jurisdictions, it spans a remarkable diversity of linguistic traditions (including English, French, Arabic, and Portuguese), religious contexts (such as Christian-majority and Muslim-majority countries), and legal systems (ranging from common law and civil law to mixed jurisdictions). As the first comprehensive study of its kind, the book examines national procedures, legal regimes, and institutional frameworks, combining theoretical insights with practical analysis. It sheds light on the multifaceted challenges that arise in cross-border civil and commercial litigation and reflects on the prospects for legal harmonization and reform within the continent. Drawing on the most up-to-date case law and legislative developments, both domestic and regional, the book offers a unique and timely contribution to understanding the mechanisms-current and emerging-that govern the movement of judgments across African borders. A practical guide and indispensable reference for practitioners, academics, judges, students, and policy makers alike, this invaluable book provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of foreign judgments recognition and enforcement in Africa, with all its intricacies and complexities.

Breaking Down Barriers to Rights for Unaccompanied Children in Migration

This research advances the field of international criminal justice by proposing a holistic framework to organize legal pluralism within the emerging four-tiered justice paradigm--domestic, hybrid, regional, and international courts. It shifts the focus from universalism to contextual organizing principles, introducing the concept of 'system of justice' to better navigate overlapping jurisdictions. The study argues that regionalism is not a threat but a vital asset to international criminal justice, and it calls for a move beyond the ICC's narrow complementarity criteria. By promoting principles like collaboration, deference and division of labour, it reimagines complementarity through a more inclusive, functional and cooperative lens.
