Studies in International Law

This book examines whether a principle of fair sharing exists in international refugee law and, if so, how it should be defined. The 1951 Refugee Convention requires States Parties to share the 'burdens' borne by States of asylum, yet it neither guarantees 'fair burden and responsibility-sharing' between States nor clarifies what this obligation entails. It also leaves 'fairness towards refugees' in burden and responsibility-sharing matters outside the scope of this obligation. To address this problem, the Global Compact on Refugees recognises 'equitable burden and responsibility sharing' as the primary guiding principle of the legal rule concerning international cooperation in the 1951 Refugee Convention. Yet it does not define the legal meaning of 'equitable' in the context of fair sharing, nor does it clarify the normative requirements of this principle. It also relies on voluntary contributions of States for the translation of this principle into practice, thereby leaving key questions unresolved. This book addresses these gaps by conceptualising fairness through the principle of equity. It explores how fairness, by virtue of equity, can be realised in practice, setting boundaries on State discretion while accommodating the specific circumstances of host States and refugees alongside the common good of the international community. It also relies on other relevant principles, namely solidarity and good faith, to bolster its argument. Drawing on legal doctrine and the case law of the international courts and tribunals, it establishes there is an obligation arising from the legal pattern spanning from the Refugee Convention to the Refugee Compact and further provides a framework for giving practical effect to this obligation. Offering a rigorous and original contribution to debates on fairness and burden and responsibility-sharing, this book will be essential reading for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers concerned with refugee protection and the future of international cooperation.

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.

Hart Studies in Private Law

This book undertakes a unique enquiry into the puzzling doctrine of undisclosed agency. Following an introduction to the doctrine and those issues that its conceptual uncertainty poses for commerce, it then charts a course through the core categories of obligations: contract, equity, tort, and unjust enrichment. In each case, various theses are explored in detail in order to identify the most robust, compelling, and commercially-appropriate rationalisation of undisclosed agency. It brings much needed clarity to a complex field of private and commercial law.

Rationalising Undisclosed Agency

Artificial Intelligence and the Rule of Law

This book provides a stinging critique of the regulatory underpinnings of the EU AI Act, delivering a trenchant criticism and asserting that there is no shortage of reasons for enduring skepticism. This book uncovers the multifaceted architecture underlying both the EU AI Act and the General-Purpose AI Code of Practice, revealing its technological, social, philosophical, and legal shortcomings. Chapters focusing on doctrinal, social, technological, philosophical, historical, and economic stances are carefully paired with fruitful discussions about bespoke standards for addressing the ever-evolving issue of algorithmic decision-making, such as enhanced safety, protection of fundamental rights, sustainability of the rule of law, and redress of algorithmic wrongs.

This monograph offers a comprehensive contextual analysis of Maine's Ancient Law, emphasising the author's use of various sources to construct the book's key themes. Ancient Law was written as a sophisticated piece of rhetorical prose grounded in Maine's education in the classics. Central to this analysis is the significant role of Roman law in shaping the narrative, particularly its influence on Maine's arguments and conclusions. The monograph also positions Maine's work within the broader intellectual debates of the nineteenth century, especially concerning the teaching of English law and Britain's colonial presence in India. By situating Maine's Ancient Law within this larger context, the study enhances our understanding of the text, revealing the historical legal framework that resonates in modern legal discourse and thought. This connection enriches our knowledge of Maine's contributions and highlights the enduring relevance of his ideas.

Henry Maine's Ancient Law as an Expression of Victorian Humanism

What if the biggest obstacle to solving our problems is nothing more than a failure to believe that we can?Rick Caruso has spent his life stepping optimistically into places where other people see no way forward by asking a deceptively simple question: What can we do to make this better? From his appointment as Commissioner to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and later the City's troubled Police Department, to the creation of his bold and innovative real estate ventures including L.A.'s world-renowned retail center The Grove, Caruso built a reputation for finding steadfast solutions even in the face of staunch adversity. By employing the great teachers of experience and curiosity, he continues to do what he can to improve Los Angeles, the city he loves, and in Breaking New Ground, he shares lessons learned along the way--while offering us all a path forward to a better future.Again and again, Caruso discovered that breakthroughs rarely come from knowing everything at the outset. They come from asking better questions, bringing the right people into the room, listening without ego, separating ideology from reality, and refusing to give up until workable solutions emerge. Ultimately, they require a steadfast dedication to the belief that there is always a solution and that defeat is not an option.Breaking New Ground is the story of how his philosophy was forged--from the examples of immigrant grandparents and a father who lost one fortune and built another, to Caruso's own successes, failures, public battles, family life, faith, and unexpected turns through business and government.Caruso is less interested in prescribing a formula for becoming successful than in exploring how successful problem-solvers think: how they distinguish what matters from what merely makes noise; how they balance conviction with compromise; how they recognize when conventional wisdom has stopped working; and how they remain fearless enough to see difficult decisions through.Part memoir, part argument, and part blueprint for action, Breaking New Ground offers a timely proposition for anyone confronting a problem that feels too complicated, entrenched, or divisive to solve.There is always another way forward. Sometimes you simply have to be willing to build it.

This edited volume examines cutting-edge innovations and entrepreneurial approaches that are reshaping healthcare delivery in the Global South. It focuses on recent research, technological advancements, AI-driven healthcare solutions, business model innovations, and new healthcare service delivery systems in resource-limited settings across the Global South. The book is intended for academics, researchers, healthcare professionals, entrepreneurs, policymakers, and development practitioners seeking to understand and apply innovative solutions to pressing healthcare challenges. The main topics explore how emerging technologies, innovation, and entrepreneurship can address critical gaps in access, affordability, and quality of care in low- and middle-income countries, where nearly half of the population lacks access to essential healthcare services. Improving healthcare in these regions requires the introduction and scaling of technology-driven health innovation ideas that are adaptable to local contexts. By bringing together cutting-edge research on health innovation, as well as new business models and service delivery approaches from both laboratory and field settings, the book aims to provide actionable frameworks for improving healthcare outcomes, fostering cross-sector collaboration, and inspiring innovation that leads to equitable, efficient, and sustainable health systems in the Global South.

This volume explores a diverse array of cultural contexts to understand how vulnerabilities were involved in survival, domination, representation, relationality, agency, and humanity. Viewed as a prospect to be grasped rather than as a limit to be overcome, vulnerability has emerged as a key concept—a framework for thinking about a myriad of phenomena—in anthropology, sociology, psychology, and bioethics. In Changing Vulnerability, contributors focus on objects; sense and representation; relationships that enable, inhibit, and exploit agency; humanity and human faculty; nonsense; colonial domination; and engagement with the biosphere. These different facets of vulnerability variously co-occur, clash, highlight, obscure, enable, or disable contingent on their social and historical context.
