Fiala-Butora J: Implementing the Right
to Decide Under the Convention on the R

Implementing the Right to Decide Under the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities

Supporting the Legal Capacity of All Persons with Disabilities

A fairer, healthier, more caring and sustainable society is entirely within our grasp. The renowned co-author of The Spirit Level shows us the way.'An uplifting vision for solving inequality that benefits everyone' ANDY BURNHAM'Poverty and inequality are at the heart of all our problems. Kate Pickett's book shows how tackling them must be at the heart of our solutions too' ZACK POLANSKI'Just what these times are crying out for' KATE RAWORTHHow do we ensure that everyone has good health and receives the care they need? How do we provide education that allows every child to flourish? How do we ensure safety, justice and a sustainable environment for all?In this inspiring book, world-leading social scientist Kate Pickett shows that to make a good society - in which everyone has what they need to be well, and everyone would be better off - we must prioritise the health, care, education and rehabilitation of those who have the least and suffer the most. Drawing on decades of proven solutions and success stories from around the globe, The Good Society cuts to the essence of the challenges we face and presents us with a practical, perspective-shifting vision for how to tackle them.'Genuinely transformative. A powerful and deeply humane vision that focuses on what really matters' DANIEL CHANDLER'Daringly optimistic' FINANCIAL TIMES'Electrifying' POLLY MORLAND'Vital ... shines a light for hope' INDEPENDENT

Global Challenges in the Environmental Humanities

This open access edited volume acknowledges that when judges adjudicate climate change issues, their decisions are shaped by far more than positive law. Adopting a pluriversal, socio-legal and multidisciplinary approach, chapters engage with an array of 'extra-legal' factors that inform what happens inside courtrooms, of relevance for climate action more broadly. These factors include judges' psychology; who is appointed as a judge and how that process is designed; legal culture and philosophy; who litigates and how litigation strategies are designed; literature; counter-hegemonic knowledge production; political ecology; climate anxiety; and climate science. 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 Newcastle Law School (United Kingdom), the Department of Land Economy, Cambridge and Queens' College, Cambridge.

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.

This book provides comprehensive discussions on the instruments, mechanisms and debates relevant to tackling biopiracy and protecting the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities in that context.&nbsp;Biopiracy is one of the most controversial issues in the international society and indigenous peoples and local communities have been the main victim of biopiracy because although they have made enormous contributions to the conservation of biological and genetic resources and development of associated traditional knowledge, they have been rarely acknowledged and few benefits have been shared.Against this backdrop, this book surveys biopiracy cases around the world, analyses and discusses the international regimes relevant to biopiracy, and suggests possible ways forward; namely the instruments or mechanisms to tackle biopiracy and protect the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities based on the international regimes. It provides a comprehensive picture on the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities in the context of biopiracy by analysing international biodiversity, human rights and intellectual property regimes as a whole. Moreover, unlike others, this book also suggests how to improve domestic laws and institutions to tackle biopiracy and protect the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities to genetic resources and associated traditional knowledge in accordance with the international regimes by, for instance, providing the core elements of the model laws and institutions.For these reasons, the book will be a good guide for students and researchers who are interested in laws and policies on the (sustainable) use of biological and genetic resources. Particularly, given that with the adoption of the Nagoya Protocol, scientists (particularly, biologists) need to understand international biodiversity and intellectual property laws and institutions, this book will be useful for them. Moreover, as indigenous peoples and local communities are the main victim of biopiracy, this book will help indigenous rights activists and organizations working to protect their rights.

Palgrave Studies in Race, Ethnicity, Indigeneity and Criminal Justice

The edited collection gathers contributions from across the world and engages in constructive debate about fundamental issues regarding Indigenous peoples in connection with issues of crime and harm. It provides the most diverse and global coverage of this topic across five continents. Existing explorations of Indigenous peoples in relation to issues of crime and harm have proven valuable in challenging, decentring, and renewing criminology. Yet, this research area remains at the margins of criminology, and many fundamental questions—such as the meaning of ‘being Indigenous’—await deeper exploration. Key themes explored by the book include: the meaning of Indigeneity; Indigenous epistemologies, Indigenous cosmologies, and their implications for the study of crime; the meaning of ‘crime’ for Indigenous peoples; causes, consequences, and types of crimes and harms against Indigenous Peoples; Indigenous peoples and gender; Indigenous systems of justice; and Interactions between Indigenous Peoples and state criminal justice systems. This collection does not seek consensus but reflects diversity and depth. It offers an introduction to Indigenous criminology and fundamental concepts, as well as a series of case studies and more intricate theorisation.David R. Goyes
 is a researcher at the University of Oslo, Norway, with a PhD in criminology. He has contributed extensively to the study of North-South global relations, environmental conflicts, and Indigenous issues. Goyes is editor-in-chief of the 
 International Journal for Crime, Justice and Social Democracy
 and a member of several editorial boards.
 Angie Cuchimba
 is a researcher at the Universidad Antonio Nariño, Colombia. Cuchimba holds a law degree from the same university. She is an Indigenous leader in the Nasa Community and has represented her People worldwide in diverse meetings. Together with Goyes, Cuchimba has published articles about Indigenous rights and justice in some of the best journals in the world.

MedR Schriftenreihe Medizinrecht

Dieses Buch untersucht die Patientenverfügung im Kontext des durch die Betreuungsrechtsreform 2023 neu gestalteten Betreuungsrechts. Im Mittelpunkt stehen die Auswirkungen der Reform auf das Selbstbestimmungsrecht sowie auf Patientenverfügung und weitere Vorsorgeverfügungen.Ein Schwerpunkt liegt auf den Neuerungen des Betreuungsrechts, insbesondere § 1821 BGB. Mit der Abkehr vom Wohlbegriff und der Neufassung der Wunschschranke wird der Vorrang des Willens der betroffenen Person konsequenter ausgestaltet.Den Kern der Untersuchung bilden die Vorsorgeverfügungen. Im Fokus steht die Patientenverfügung; daneben werden Vorsorgevollmacht, Betreuungsverfügung sowie der Widerspruch gegen das Ehegattennotvertretungsrecht betrachtet. Obwohl § 1827 BGB nahezu unverändert blieb, zeigt das Buch mittelbare Reformwirkungen: Die Patientenverfügung gilt nun auch gegenüber dem Ehegattenvertreter, zudem verbessert die isolierte Registrierung im Zentralen Vorsorgeregister ihre Auffindbarkeit. Zugleich werden Reformdefizite aufgezeigt, insbesondere der Rückgriff auf objektive Kriterien bei fehlendem mutmaßlichem Willen sowie der Ausschluss einwilligungsfähiger Minderjähriger von der Errichtung einer Patientenverfügung.Das Buch verbindet verfassungsrechtliche Grundlagen, die Entwicklung des Betreuungsrechts und eine systematische Analyse der Vorsorgeverfügungen. Es richtet sich an Jurist*innen in Wissenschaft und Praxis sowie an Studierende mit Interesse am Medizin- und Betreuungsrecht.

Patientenverfügung im neuen Betreuungsrecht

Hart Studies in Private Law

This ambitious and important book explores the new concept of the doctor-patient relationship, told from the private law perspective. The doctor-patient relationship differs from others in negligence law. Doctors are required to take positive action and, therefore, can be held liable for omissions. However, because actionable damage is almost exclusively confined to physical injury, the significance of a doctor's liability for failing to confer a benefit has gotten lost along the way. This aspect of the doctor's positive duty is overlooked in both the case law and the literature - and, this book identifies it as the principal barrier to protecting interests other than bodily integrity in medical negligence law. The book sets out a novel theoretical framework in which the reconceptualised doctor's 'positive duty to take care' of a patient's interests justifies an expanded concept of actionable damage beyond physical injury - ensuring that the reasons for requiring doctors to act positively are carried through to the damage enquiry. The book identifies that the leading cases causing challenges to coherency in medical negligence are those involving patient choice: Rees v Darlington Memorial Hospital, McFarlane v Tayside Health Board, Meadows v Khan, ACB v Thomson Medical Pte Ltd, Chester v Afshar, Montgomery v Lanarkshire Health Board, Gregg v Scott, and Philp v Ryan. Rather than treating patient autonomy as a source of doctrinal difficulty, this book offers a new way of thinking about the doctor-patient relationship to accommodate autonomy related interests and real world effects of medical negligence separate from physical injury. The theoretical account of the doctor's positive duty and its consequences for actionable damage reveals what is distinctive about the doctor-patient relationship amongst other relationships giving rise to liability for omissions. It suggests how novel harms in medical negligence might be accommodated - including the potential for tort law in this area to reflect fundamental values in constitutional rights in Ireland and ECHR rights in the UK, and how the non-pecuniary losses could be quantified and compensated. While common law of Ireland and the UK takes centre stage, the analysis draws on other common law jurisdictions and on Irish constitutional law.
