Walton K: The Morality of Obeying the
Law

The Morality of Obeying the Law

This book explores the major theories of common law adjudication and presents a new theory of adjudication. It shows that the existing major theories of common law adjudication each capture only part of what occurs in actual court proceedings. It presents a new theory of adjudication that incorporates both useful and modified elements of these theories. The new theory itself comprises two parts: first, an attitudinal aspect based on institutional values; and second, a number of practical and theoretical factors which give concrete expression to those values. Throughout the book, the author draws on his prior experience both as a law professor and as a judge in his country's highest appellate court in order to provide a unique perspective that illustrates this new theory.

Integrating Theory and Practice

Towards a New Theory of Adjudication

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

Legal and Philosophical Perspectives

Conceptions of Data Protection and Privacy

This book offers a pioneering and deeply insightful examination of one of the most challenging dilemmas in contemporary counterterrorism and international law: how to legally and morally assess the responsibility of female suicide bombers affiliated with terrorist groups such as Boko Haram. It exposes a critical legal blind spot where female bombers are caught in a 'grey zone' - neither fully prosecuted nor released - due to conflicting norms around gender, victimhood and terrorism. Drawing on extensive research including interviews, case studies of failed suicide bombers, and legal analysis of terrorism cases, it develops a novel culpability framework that moves beyond simplistic notions of guilt or innocence. By exploring the complex spectrum of moral and legal responsibility, this framework offers a much-needed tool for policymakers, judges, practitioners, academics and students dealing with terrorism, war crimes and transitional justice. It challenges prevailing gender stereotypes that often either criminalise women excessively or excuse them arbitrarily and instead provides a nuanced approach that recognises female bombers as individuals whose actions range from coerced victimhood to accountable perpetrators. More than a legal study, this book humanises the lived realities of women involved in violent extremism and highlights the urgent need for legal systems worldwide to adapt. It is essential reading for scholars, legal professionals, policymakers, and anyone interested in terrorism, gender, human rights and international justice.

Gendered Dimensions of Responsibility

Culpability in Terrorism Law

How Terms of Service Reshaped Society, the Economy, and Our Future

Death by a Thousand Clicks

Examines whether the rule of law can endure without its natural law and metaphysical foundations, arguing for a renewed, human-centered legal order grounded in objective moral principles and capable of addressing contemporary challenges such as AI, technocracy, and decolonization.
This provocative interdisciplinary volume addresses a mounting global crisis: the erosion of the rule of law in an increasingly secular and technological world. As societies move into what the authors call the "fourth era" of legal history, the rule of law is frequently reduced to a mere "toolkit" for elites or a "checklist" for bureaucratic efficiency, stripped of its deeper moral and transcendent roots. The book explores a vital question: can legal systems remain just when they are "truncated of transcendence" and disconnected from a higher moral order? By sifting through the legacies of legal giants like Lon Fuller and theologians like Karl Barth, the contributors argue that a purely procedural "inner morality" is insufficient to protect human dignity against authoritarian relapses or the cold logic of "technocratisation." 
Central to the book's unique vision is a multivalent, pluralistic re-envisioning of global norms. Drawing on the Christian philosophy of Herman Dooyeweerd, specifically his concept of "sphere sovereignty," the authors propose a framework where diverse religious and secular traditions can collaborate without sacrificing their distinct identities. This approach offers a powerful way to decolonize the rule of law, moving away from "one-size-fits-all" Western impositions toward a culturally sensitive synthesis of universal principles and local traditions. 
The text also tackles the controversial relationship between Natural Law and the 10 Commandments, debating whether positive laws should be grounded in "naturally knowable" truths or specific religious revelations in a pluralistic state. 
Looking toward the future, the authors issue a stark warning against the rise of Generative AI (GenAI) in legal adjudication. They argue that replacing human value judgments with machine-driven algorithms threatens to eliminate the discretion and relational interaction essential to true justice. To counter this, the book calls for educational reform and a shift toward "principled legal education" that prioritizes ethics, restorative justice, and a "facts first" approach. Ultimately, this work is a call to action for legal professionals, theologians, and the public to reclaim law as a framework for human flourishing-a "language of love" between the divine and the human that protects the vulnerable from the arbitrary exercise of power.

Studies in Penal Theory and Ethics

The Search for a Unified Theory of Punishment

Founded in 2001, the GCYILJ provides an authoritative and unique annual survey of developments in global law, governance and jurisprudence. The 2025 Volume marks the Yearbook's twenty-fifth anniversary and reflects on the endurance of constitutional principles amid global disorder and the pressures reshaping international law, justice, politics, and ethics. Contributions address current systemic crises: geopolitical conflicts, the humanitarian emergency in Gaza, liberal democracies, famine and impunity, multipolarity in international law, international governance, planetary ethics, public-interest litigation before the ICJ, and the ICC's contested role between Ukraine and Palestine. Alongside these thematic interventions, the volume continues the Yearbook's hallmark surveys of around twenty international, regional, and quasi-judicial bodies. Its distinctive global outlook and interdisciplinary depth ensure that the Yearbook remains an essential guide to international and global law in a fractured global order.
