Samuel M: The 1494 Treaty That Divided
Earth

The 1494 Treaty That Divided Earth

The Secret Agreement Behind Europe's Race for Global Dominion

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

Modern Studies in European Law

This book clarifies all legal aspects of the good neighbourliness principle in international and EU law. It elaborates on the most acute infringements of the principle of good neighbourliness in both international relations and EU enlargement policy. Taking a two-part approach, it offers the international law and EU law perspectives. Over five chapters, it sets out the legal framework and the practical application of the principle, before setting out conclusions on the effectiveness of that application. Given the current focus on enlargement and accession to the EU this is a timely and topical study in an under-researched field.

Emerging Legal Education

Exploring the broader, non-technical, social and political senses of being situated, this edited collection provides a range of different substantive perspectives on situated learning in legal education.The expert cast of contributors to this book highlight the theory, practice, and impact of situated learning in legal education. Chapters apply situated learning to topics including climate change, First Nations and Indigenous voices, inclusion and belonging, authentic assessment, and generative artificial intelligence. The book questions what differences these intersecting contexts and situations - including the technological, the decolonial and the climatological - make to the practice and thinking of legal educators. In doing so, it considers how legal knowledge and professional identity are shaped through participation, experience, and engagement with communities and real-world problems, and what situated learning can contribute to the future of legal education.This book will be of interest to researchers in the fields of legal education, higher education, digital law, climate change law and decolonial law, as well as legal educators and practitioners interested in curriculum, assessment and educational innovation.

This open access book offers a unique perspective on the return of cultural objects by considering the aftermath of the handover processes. While calls for the repatriation of heritage have been made since the start of the decolonisation process, it is only in recent years that the debate on returning cultural objects has gained widespread prominence. This has been followed by ongoing efforts from several countries to change the legislation, adopt principles, and invest in provenance research to turn repatriation into a more proactive mechanism. The book tells the story of cultural objects that were housed in European institutions and returned to countries in Africa, Asia, and the Americas. In addition to in-depth analysis of relevant laws and policies, each of the case studies integrates interviews with those who were directly involved in those return processes, as well as those who were impacted by them, including museum staff, government representatives and community members. The book presents previously unheard insights into past return processes, the manifold modalities that such processes have followed, and, at times, unexpected outcomes. By doing so, it offers possible lessons to be learnt for future returns. 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 Leverhulme Trust.

Exploring the Stories of Cultural Objects After their Return

Beyond Restitution

Studies in International Law

This book offers a foundational rethinking of how international law engages with non-state effective territorial entities - territories that, while legally part of a recognised state, are de facto governed by non-state actors or other states. These entities - ranging from ISIL-controlled areas in Syria to the contested territory of Crimea, the autonomous Somaliland, and Taiwan - occupy an increasingly prominent place in global politics, yet remain inadequately addressed in legal doctrine. Rather than assessing these territories through the binary lens of statehood, the book begins by assuming their non-state status and asks: what legal capacity and responsibilities do such entities hold under international law? It considers their obligations toward both other states and the populations under their control, and explores the broader implications for concepts like sovereignty, territorial integrity, and recognition. Drawing on four case studies across a spectrum of state-likeness, the book moves beyond isolated analyses of conflict or self-determination to offer a more holistic account of what these entities reveal about the limits and possibilities of the current international legal framework. It argues for a more functional, capacity-based understanding of legal responsibility that acknowledges the realities of territorial control without forgoing the notion and role of statehood. Combining doctrinal clarity with pragmatic ambition, this book challenges the state-centric foundations of international law and offers a roadmap for engaging with one of its most pressing contemporary challenges: the legal accommodation of non-state territorial authority in a world still structured around states.

Human Rights Law in Perspective

This book offers an analysis of how the European Court of Human Rights engages with identity and emotion, revealing both the promise and the limitations of human rights law in addressing the complexities of human experience. The book explores how human rights law, often framed as universal and abstract, responds to deeply personal questions of identity, belonging, and emotional impact. Based on a systematic study of over 3,300 judgments, the book shows how the European Court of Human Rights has increasingly made identity central to its reasoning - particularly in cases involving sexuality, ethnicity, and family life. In these areas, the Court acknowledges how state actions shape emotions such as fear, humiliation, and dignity. Yet, in other domains - migration, religion, professional life - the Court avoids emotional engagement, leading to troubling inconsistencies. The book argues that when emotions are excluded from legal reasoning, individuals are reduced to formal entities, stripped of depth and interiority. Combining doctrinal analysis with insights from social theory and psychology, the book presents a new framework for understanding how emotions and identity interact with law. It traces the evolution of identity references across categories and highlights the Court's uneven treatment of emotional harm. This timely and original contribution speaks to legal scholars, practitioners, and theorists interested in human rights, identity politics, and the emotional dimensions of law. It calls for a more responsive and empathetic human rights jurisprudence - one that reflects the lived realities of those it seeks to protect.

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.
