International Humanitarian Law Facing
New Challenges

International Humanitarian Law Facing New Challenges

Symposium in Honour of KNUT IPSEN

Studies in International Law

This book argues that the pursuit of universal norms remains a worthwhile endeavour for the international legal discipline. It does this while also engaging with the very active imperialist critique of such norms. The study has 4 aims; firstly to illustrate the role that the idea and debate around norms have in developing international law, and secondly to address the philosophical concerns around identifying such norms. It moves on to explore whether a legal/practical instantiation of the universal can be done without taking a particular position/perspective. And finally, it turns to the impact the universal has on the development of international human rights law. Public international law, human rights and legal philosophy scholars will welcome this original theoretical-philosophical perspective on an enduring debate in the field of international law.

International Law and the Pursuit of Universal Norms

Oñati International Series in Law and Society

This edited collection explores the question of how those with limited capacity are enabled to take their part as members of society within the context of both a legal framework and the expectations of their family and community. The book is divided into three parts, firstly looking at the current legal position on incapacity in a number of jurisdictions. It discusses the recent European project FLEUR, and the associated debates developing around whether legislation dealing with incapacity should aim to support or control the vulnerable person. Secondly, the book looks at the experience of families with vulnerable members. Chapters examine developments in Australia, Spain, Bulgaria and Argentina, while part three looks at France, Turkey, Canada, the Netherlands, Poland and Ukraine. It asks questions such as: What are the contemporary demands for full financial protection by the state in the Netherlands? What can happen in an emergency? How did the Polish system provide for the needs of refugees in wartime, in the case of the recent flight from Ukraine into Poland? An important dimension is added to the debate, asking how we can provide support and control within a social network or group whose members have different aims and needs in a family or a community.

Recht - schnell erfasst

Welche Rechte und Pflichten hat der einzelne Bürger, welche der Staat? Wie funktioniert unsere Gemeinschaft? Diese Grundfragen klärt das Buch und nimmt auf Auszüge des Grundgesetzes und des Bundesverfassungsgerichtsgesetzes Bezug. In jedem Band der Reihe "Recht - schnell erfasst" werden die wichtigsten Normen im Wortlaut vorgestellt, verständlich kommentiert und mit den - für die gelungene Fallbearbeitung - notwendigen Verweisungen versehen. Wer bei der Lösung von Problemstellungen schnell auf den Punkt kommen will, ohne sich mit juristischen Theorien auseinandersetzen zu müssen, findet in diesem Buch alles, was er dafür braucht.

Verfassungsrecht - Schnell erfasst

Realising that the need for conservation of the Outstanding Universal Values (OUVs) of World Heritage Sites still remains much more dominant than a holistic approach towards the wider social, economic and environmental implications, the book "World Heritage and Sustainable Development" aims to examine and propose ways in which sustainable cultural development can become an integral part of successful conservation and management within the context of World Heritage Sites (WHSs). In order to do so, thematic chapters concentrating on issues of building conservation, climate change and human development within the context of World Heritage Sites (WHSs) will be included.

Studies in Penal Theory and Ethics

This book explores the connections between punishment theory and punishment practice It shines a much-needed light on the relation between how punishment is experienced by those subjected to it (and others), and the more general consideration of what justifies punishment in the first place. Leading experts in the field weigh up what is appropriate punishment - both in quantitative and in non-quantitative ways. It explains why punishment is so difficult to justify, looks at the compatibility of modes and processes of penal sanctions, and explore how best to achieve the aspiration to set reasonable terms for future coexistence through state punishment. The book addresses key topics such as life imprisonment, what is at stake when we use prisons to punish, and how criminal offenders can be successfully integrated into society. It considers how we know whether we over-punish offenders, what we should do in response to excessive punishment, and the possibility of replacing punitive systems with non-punitive ones. Overall, the book makes a groundbreaking contribution to the philosophy of punishment, explicitly connecting general, abstract questions about the moral and political justification of punishment with empirical insight into the realities and experiences of punishment practices.

Punishment Theory Meets Punishment Practice

Consensus in International Law: Critical History, Queer Reimaginings critically explores the idea of 'consensus' by retracing its history in two settings: in consensus decision-making in the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade and World Trade Organisation, and the European Court of Human Rights' use of 'European consensus' as a method of treaty interpretation. Employing a unique theoretical framework informed by queer theory and jurisdictional thinking, the book argues that consensus in international law is best understood as a technique of authorization, which functions by gesturing towards a widespread, yet unfixed, level of agreement.

Claerwen O'Hara demonstrates that the gesture towards widespread agreement works to imbue institutional practices with an air of equality and project visions of unity onto a decision, helping to ground the authority of international institutions and their legal worlds. At the same time, the variable nature of the agreement means that the idea of consensus can be applied flexibly, including in situations in which no such equality or unity exists. Consequently, despite the positive discourses surrounding the idea of consensus in international law, it has often worked to suppress difference and dissent and uphold existing power relations. The book suggests that this gap between discourse and reality has been a contributing factor in some of the problems facing international law and its institutions today. To overcome these problems, Consensus in International Law calls for a shift in imagination in which the idea of the world or a particular region routinely reaching a widespread agreement is decentred in international law. In its place, the book proposes a vision of the international as a 'meeting place' for a plurality of peoples and their laws.

Gendered Access to Family Justice

EU gender equality law has expanded considerably in scope, evolving from its modest origins as a single provision on equal pay in the 1957 Treaty of Rome into a complex body of Treaty provisions, directives, and case law that shapes gender equality across the Member States. The pace of the legal developments can make the field challenging to navigate for practitioners, policymakers, and academics alike. EU Gender Equality Law: Concepts, Practice, Challenges provides an essential guide through this multifaceted area of law.

The book offers a comprehensive English-language analysis of this dynamic field, written by three leading scholars in equality, EU, and human rights law. Grounded in feminist legal theory and taking a law-in-context approach, the book address achievements and current limitations of the legislation, CJEU case law, and implementation at the EU and national levels. It also gives attention to the most recent directives, including in particular the Work-Life Balance and Pay Transparency Directives.

Core concepts such as sex and gender, equality, and different forms of discrimination are examined, not only within the general foundations of EU law but also in the broader context of international human rights law. The book provides in-depth discussions of equal pay; gender equality at work; pregnancy, maternity, and work-life balance; equal access to goods and services; and effective enforcement. 

Throughout, EU Gender Equality Law moves beyond the current state of the law and practice, critically reflecting on the role law can play in sustaining inequality. It also takes a forward-looking perspective, exploring possibilities the law offers to address structural gender inequality and to contribute to transformative equality.

Routledge Handbooks in Law

This book provides a comprehensive examination of the foundations, evolution, and future of international refugee law, focusing on the 1951 Refugee Convention and its 1967 Protocol. It explores pressing contemporary challenges such as climate-induced displacement, LGBTQ+ and religion-based asylum claims, digitalisation, regional refugee protection regimes, and the lived experiences of displaced communities across Europe, Asia, Africa, Latin America, and beyond. The volume features insights from leading and emerging scholars and practitioners across law, political science, and related disciplines, presenting an interdisciplinary approach that combines doctrinal analysis with a timely, fresh, and authoritative assessment of the changing landscape of refugee protection.Designed for students, academics, researchers, legal practitioners, and humanitarian professionals, this collection provides rigorous analysis of legal principles alongside regional case studies-including the Rohingya in Bangladesh, Afghan and Syrian refugees in the United Kingdom, Ukrainians in Poland, and Venezuelans across Latin America and the Caribbean. This approach bridges the gap between legal doctrine and practice. Critically evaluating the strengths and limitations of the existing international refugee law framework, it equips readers with the knowledge and analytical tools needed to contribute to more effective and inclusive refugee protection regimes.

Strafrecht Besonderer Teil II

A Genealogy of Business and Human Rights, 1974—2024

Capitalizing Human Rights

This is the essential practitioner's guide to animal welfare and animal protection law in the Crown Court and magistrates' courts of England. Animal law is a roughly stitched patchwork of domestic acts, regulations, orders and statutory codes, interlaced with international treaties, regulations and directives. The resultant body of law is immense: with acts still in force today dating back to the 1800s and dozens of enabling clauses permitting the tapestry constantly to evolve. Sometimes prosecutors use the law to protect animals, for instance by prosecuting those thought to have abused them. Other times defence advocates are those protecting animals, for instance by defending allegedly dangerous dogs from destruction. This guide sets out the law and provides practical advice for those on either side of the courtroom. The guide's primary focus is on criminal cases that concern kept animals, farmed animals, animals in science, wild animals, dangerous dogs and animal protection activists. It also features chapters on related civil orders in the magistrates' courts, as well as a practical chapter on funding in animal-related cases. This is the only guide of its kind, written as a handbook for frontline practitioners in England's criminal courts. It draws on decades of experience and is written by two experts, in consultation with an array of specialists in each practice area. This makes it a must-have book for anyone practising or wishing to practise animal welfare or animal protection law.
