Irving E: Multi-Actor Human Rights
Protection at the International Crimina

Multi-Actor Human Rights Protection at the International Criminal Court

Water, Oil and Gold

The Power of Constitutional Rights in Resource Conflicts

Modern Studies in European Law

This timely edited collection offers a critical and multidisciplinary examination of the European Union's Migration and Asylum Pact, marking the third major reform phase of the Common European Asylum System. As the EU seeks to present a unified and effective response to migration challenges, the Pact introduces sweeping changes-from border procedures and asylum processing to external partnerships and data-driven governance. Bringing together leading scholars, legal practitioners, and NGO experts, the collection explores the Pact's implications ahead of its implementation. Contributors interrogate its legal foundations, political motivations, and operational mechanisms, offering insights into how the EU balances efficiency with fundamental rights, solidarity with sovereignty, and innovation with accountability. Organised around four central themes - political solidarity, border management, external cooperation, and rights compliance - the volume highlights the tensions and contradictions within the Pact. It asks: Can the EU harmonise divergent national approaches to migration? Will faster procedures compromise legal safeguards? How will partnerships with third countries affect asylum seekers' rights? With chapters covering topics such as AI at the border, the coloniality of digital technologies, and the role of EU institutions in enforcement and oversight, this book is an essential resource for academics, policymakers, lawyers, and students. It offers not only a critique but also a roadmap for understanding the future of asylum governance in Europe.

Supporting the Legal Capacity of All Persons with Disabilities

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

Do animals have legal rights? This pioneering book tells readers everything they need to know about animal rights law. Using straightforward examples from over 30 legal systems from both the civil and common law traditions, and based on a popular course taught by the authors at the University of Cambridge, the book takes the reader from the earliest anti-cruelty laws to modern animal welfare laws, to recent attempts to grant basic rights and legal personhood to animals. To help readers understand this legal evolution, it explains the ethics, legal theory, and social issues behind animal rights and connected topics such as property, standing, dignity, and human rights. The new edition, fully updated throughout, contains a new chapter on rights of nature and its relation to animal rights. The book's companion website (bloomsbury.pub/animal-rights-law) provides access to briefs on the latest developments in this fast-changing area, and gives readers the tools to investigate their own legal systems with a list of key references to the latest cases, legislation, and jurisdiction-specific bibliographic references. Rich in exercises and study aids, this easy-to-use introduction is a prime resource for law students and for anyone else who wants to understand how animals can be protected by the law.

AI and Constitutional Law in Europe

Democracy in the Age of Disinformation

This book is a comparative study of how courts and oversight bodies review lawmaking processes, exposing democratic deficits and advocating for transparent, participatory legislative reform across Europe. In an era of fast-track legislation and executive overreach, the democratic legitimacy of lawmaking is under increasing pressure. This timely and original volume offers the first comprehensive, comparative analysis of how judicial and non-judicial bodies monitor and assess legislative procedures across Europe and beyond. Drawing on examples from Hungary, France, and the United States, the book highlights troubling trends - such as the use of expedited processes, exclusion of opposition voices, and lack of public participation - that undermine democratic principles and good governance. Contributors examine how courts, parliamentary committees, and international organisations like the Venice Commission respond to these challenges, offering insights into their capacity to uphold constitutional standards and human rights protections. The book also explores the broader implications of defective lawmaking for the rule of law, separation of powers, and the achievement of global goals such as the UN's Sustainable Development Agenda. Featuring leading scholars and practitioners from across Europe, including underrepresented jurisdictions, the volume bridges theory and practice, offering a rich interdisciplinary perspective. It is essential reading for academics, legal professionals, policymakers, and civil society actors concerned with the integrity of democratic institutions and the future of legislative governance. By shedding light on the mechanisms of procedural review, this book makes a compelling case for more transparent, inclusive, and accountable lawmaking in democratic societies.

European Perspectives on the Procedural Review of Parliamentary Lawmaking

Palgrave Socio-Legal Studies

This book examines the relationship between LGBTIQ communities and law in Australia from colonial times to the present day, with a particular concentration on the last 40 years. Using a socio-legal analysis that combines legislation, case law, media reports, policy materials and government data, it traces the historical shift from criminalisation and erasure to conditional legal recognition. The book develops a critical queer perspective, analysing how sexual and gender minorities moved from being classified through the figure of the criminal ‘homosexual’ to being recognised as members of LGBTIQ communities with a status of almost legal equality. Structured historically, its chapters examine distinct phases of legal reform, governance and LGBTIQ activism. The book covers key issues in sexuality, gender, family, embodiment and sex classification, while offering an extended account of the legal questions affecting lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer people. Although focused on Australia, it speaks to wider debates across post-colonial jurisdictions, Commonwealth countries and the United States. It will be of interest to students and academics in socio-legal studies, queer legal theory, sexuality and gender studies, law reform, and LGBTIQ politics and activism.Allen George
 is Lecturer in Socio-Legal Studies at the University of Sydney, Australia, where he has lectured since 2009. His research focuses on law, sexuality, gender and LGBTIQ communities. He has also taught sociology and criminology at the University of Newcastle.

From Erasure to Eligibility

Law, Governance and the Queer Subject

Law for Professionals

Die neue EU-Richtlinie über die Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence (CSDDD) ist bereits in Kraft und wird nach den jüngsten Änderungen auf EU-Ebene schrittweise ab 2028 für große Unternehmen und Konzerne EU-weit anwendbar. &nbsp;Sie verpflichtet Unternehmen, Menschenrechts- und Umweltstandards entlang ihrer gesamten Wertschöpfungskette zu prüfen, Risiken zu mindern und Abhilfe zu schaffen – mit Geldbußen bis zu 3 % des weltweiten Nettojahresumsatzes.
Für die Compliance-Welt markiert die CSDDD einen Paradigmenwechsel: Während sich Compliance bislang vor allem auf die eigene Organisation und den Selbstschutz konzentrierte, verlangt die Richtlinie nun Verantwortung über die Unternehmensgrenzen hinaus. Unternehmen müssen nicht nur ihr eigenes Verhalten steuern, sondern auch prüfen, wie ihre Geschäftspartner, Lieferanten und Auftragnehmer mit Menschenrechten, Umwelt und Ethik umgehen und welche bislang wenig beachteten Risiken in der Lieferkette bestehen. Auch Unternehmen, die nicht direkt CSDDD-pflichtig sind, werden diese Anforderungen in der Praxis zu spüren bekommen: CSDDD-pflichtige Kunden werden mit Nachdruck versuchen, Verantwortung und Pflichten weiterzugeben sowie Audit- und Kontrollrechte, Informationspflichten, Geschäftspartnerprüfungen und Compliance-Standards bei ihren Lieferanten einzufordern.
Dieses Buch zeigt, wie Unternehmen die CSDDD rechtlich fundiert, praxisorientiert und zugleich wirtschaftlich sinnvoll umsetzen können. Es verbindet juristische Anforderungen mit praktischen Leitlinien aus Compliance-, Risiko- und Nachhaltigkeitsmanagement und macht deutlich: Lieferkettensorgfalt ist keine Bürde, sondern eine strategische Chance.
Ausgehend von der historischen Entwicklung (Rana Plaza, Deepwater Horizon, UN-Leitprinzipien) werden die zentralen Pflichten der Richtlinie (Risikomanagement, Prävention, Abhilfe, Berichterstattung) erläutert und in konkrete Handlungsschritte übersetzt – inklusive Governance-Strukturen, Vertragspraxis, Due-Diligence-Tools, Schulung und Stakeholder-Kommunikation. Dabei werden immer wieder Unternehmensbeispiele und praktische Referenzen herangezogen, um zu zeigen, wie Unternehmen vergleichbare Herausforderungen bereits adressiert haben oder welche Lehren sich aus prominenten Fällen ziehen lassen. Ein eigenes Kapitel zeigt, wie Unternehmen durch glaubwürdige Umsetzung Vertrauen, Reputation und Wettbewerbsvorteile aufbauen. Das Buch richtet sich an Unternehmen jeder Größe, die CSDDD-Pflichten direkt oder indirekt betreffen, und liefert pragmatische Roadmaps für Compliance-Verantwortliche, Juristen, Nachhaltigkeitsmanager, Einkäufer, Risikomanager und Entscheidungsträger.

Lieferkette und Verantwortung

This book demonstrates how legal knowledge is a vital, empowering tool in human rights education. Despite the centrality of international human rights law to the global rights framework, its role in human rights education (HRE) - particularly in schools and community settings - has been sidelined, dismissed as either too technical or too politically problematic. This book challenges that marginalisation head-on. It examines how legal knowledge is framed, valued, or rejected in the theory and practice of HRE, engaging critically with the prevailing trends in the field: one that gestures toward law but avoids depth, and another that disavows law entirely in favour of culturally embedded alternatives. Through a close reading of scholarship and policy, combined with insights from educational theory and socio-legal studies, the book argues for law's role as a form of "powerful knowledge" in HRE. It contends that access to and understanding of legal norms and mechanisms are not only essential for meaningful rights education but are themselves enabling rights in practice. The book will be of interest to scholars and students of human rights, legal pedagogy, and education policy, as well as practitioners developing HRE programs. It offers a timely, nuanced intervention into a field grappling with deep epistemological and political tensions, and reasserts the value of law in the struggle for rights.

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.
