Elements of International Law

Reservations constitute the principal mechanism by which states may modify or limit the legal effect of treaty obligations following the adoption of a treaty text. Yet they remain among the most complex and contested features of the law of treaties, even for experienced international lawyers. Set against the broader framework of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (1969), Reservations to Treaties offers a clear, systematic, and practically oriented account of how to identify, interpret, and apply the rules governing reservations.

Drawing on an extensive body of state practice, encompassing more than 150 states and over eighty treaties, the book grounds its analysis in diverse geographical and historical contexts. Through detailed examples and careful engagement with practice, it illustrates how reservations operate across a wide range of subject areas within international law. The chapters provide a structured and accessible guide to navigating this often perplexing area, supported by comprehensive referencing and analysis.

Combining rigorous scholarship with detailed examples, the book is designed to support both specialists and non-specialists in navigating treaty practice, while contributing to a deeper understanding of how reservations shape treaty relations and the development of the international rule of law.

Reservations to Treaties

This landmark collection provides new insights, concepts and techniques to understand and respond to tort claims based on illegal conduct. It is the first comparative study of this difficult field, which has remained contested despite numerous decisions of the highest courts in the common law world. The collection draws on scholars from common law and civilian jurisdictions spanning Argentina, Australia, Brazil, England and Wales, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Scotland, Singapore, Spain, South Africa and Sweden. Together they set out fact patterns, and justifications for tort liability to illustrate the coherence and unity that exists when courts address such claims. While common law legal systems have developed a specific defence of illegality for some of those fact patterns, civilian jurisdictions tend to see illegality operating, if at all, through the existing components of tort liability. The book explains how these different approaches have been reached, how they work, and what they reveal about reasoning in tort.

Understanding Tort Claims and Illegality

Written by leading practitioners in the field, this book provides a coherent framework for understanding the principles of sports law. The subject is split into various areas of practice. First regulatory rules, which embrace the constitutional aspect of organised sport including the disciplinary procedures of the various sport governing organisations. Second, broadcasting and marketing resulting from the commercial exploitation, including sponsorship, of sports clubs, sporting events and players. Third, player's rights and obligations which embraces a wide range of legal issues including club transfers and player contracts, and issues arising from employment (including discrimination law), personal injury and criminal law. Special attention is paid to the impact of EU and Human Rights law as well as to the influential jurisprudence of the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Written by an expert team, including the father of sports law, Michael Beloff QC, this is required reading for all those practising in the field.

Asian Yearbook of International Law, Volume 30 (2024)

This open access book reimagines gender-based poverty in urban areas as a human rights issue, offering a transformative legal framework to address one of the most pressing and overlooked challenges of our time. More than half the world's population now lives in cities, with women comprising a growing share of the urban population/residents/people living in urban areas. Yet gender-based poverty remains a persistent and under-addressed issue in international human rights law. No existing convention explicitly tackles the intersection of gender, poverty, and urbanisation. This book breaks new ground by arguing that gender-based poverty in urban areas can - and should - be recognised as a human rights violation. Drawing on legal theory, feminist legal studies, and international human rights frameworks, the book critiques current legal approaches that treat poverty as a social or moral issue, rather than a structural and multidimensional injustice. It advances Sandra Fredman's four-dimensional model of substantive equality - disadvantage, recognition, participation, and transformation - as a more effective legal lens. Focusing on the right to adequate housing, the book explores how states' obligations to respect, protect, and fulfil can be clarified and strengthened through this model. It also examines how principles of equality and non-discrimination interact with progressive realisation and economic, social, and cultural rights. By bridging theory and practice, and incorporating perspectives from the Global South, the book offers a timely and original contribution to human rights law. It provides legal professionals, scholars, and development practitioners with a powerful framework for embedding gender equality in urban policy and advancing social justice through law. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation.

The Right to Adequate Housing

Human Rights Obligations and Gender-Based Poverty in Urban Areas

Jus Privatum

The German Civil Code (BGB) contains only three general provisions governing the civil brokerage contract (§§ 652-654 BGB), yet these do little to define its contours. This falls short of reflecting the considerable practical importance of brokerage services, particularly in real estate transactions. The result has been undesirable developments in practice. Recent piecemeal legislative interventions, such as the 
 "client pays" principle
 (
 Bestellerprinzip
 ), were intended, among other things, to make housing more affordable, but have had only limited success and have created doctrinal inconsistencies. When speaking of 
 the
 broker or 
 the
 brokerage contract, one overlooks the fact that civil brokers and commercial brokers perform entirely different functions. Yet even the activities of civil brokers are far from homogeneous: online marketplaces, real estate brokers, and insurance brokers differ significantly from one another. Frank Spohnheimer investigates the causes of dysfunctions in brokerage practice and rethinks brokerage law on the basis of existing legal rules. Where necessary and appropriate, he interprets brokerage contracts as atypical agency contracts (
 Geschäftsbesorgungsverträge
 ), which entail a duty of subordination to the principal's interests. On this basis, the study develops a general law of brokerage-related agency contracts and delineates the duties of subordination applicable to the practically most important types of brokers: real estate brokers, insurance brokers, and consumer credit brokers. In doing so, it also provides new impetus for the revival of the commercial broker, a figure that many have already written off as obsolete.

Studies in International Law

This book offers the first comprehensive study of unjust enrichment as a principle of international law. While domestic legal systems have long recognised unjust enrichment as a basis for restitution, its role in international law remains underexplored. This book addresses this gap by examining the roles of the international norm against unjust enrichment both as an independent basis for a claim and in the development and interpretation of other international norms. It explores the far-reaching implications of this norm for inter-state relations and investment arbitration. The book advances three key arguments: that unjust enrichment claims in international law may extend to indirect recipients; that states enriched through conduct harming another state can incur liability in unjust enrichment even without a transfer of value from the harmed state to the enriched state; and that the principle of unjust enrichment is not merely subsidiary to the law of state responsibility for internationally wrongful conduct. Through rigorous analysis, the book explores the rationales underlying unjust enrichment - proprietary, fairness, and wrongfulness - and evaluates their applicability in the international arena. It also considers practical challenges such as indeterminacy, multiple-claimant situations, and the risk of proliferating disputes. Drawing on jurisprudence from the Iran-US Claims Tribunal, ICSID, and other international tribunals, as well as comparative insights from English, German, US, and other domestic laws, the book provides a nuanced framework for applying unjust enrichment in international law. It will be indispensable for scholars of public international law, practitioners engaged in inter-state adjudication, government lawyers, and investment arbitration specialists seeking principled solutions to complex disputes.

Unjust Enrichment in International Law

Key Ideas in Law

This book provides an account of the most important and controversial aspects of the principle of legality in the United Kingdom. The principle of legality describes a method of statutory interpretation that empowers courts to prevent fundamental common law values from being overridden by unclear legislation. However, it makes more sense to think of multiple principles of legality, rather than a single concept. The book provides a fresh and detailed perspective on a controversial aspect of the common law. It will be useful for students of law and politics, legal practitioners and scholars. It explores the many complexities surrounding the historical origins, fields of application, mode of operation, and subject matter of the principle of legality. Despite its long history, the term 'principle of legality' only began to be used in public law cases towards the end of the twentieth century. More recently, judicial references to the principle of legality in high profile constitutional law cases have fuelled broader concerns about judicial overreach. The book argues that these concerns are unfounded, and deeper principles of legality are required.
