Global Politics and the Responsibility to Protect

Butler M: Reconstructing the
Responsibility to Protect

Reconstructing the Responsibility to Protect

From Humanitarian Intervention to Human Security

Routledge Research in Asylum, Migration and Refugee Law

The Refugee Convention of 1951 did not categorically provide for the socio-economic rights of asylum seekers. While the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Executive Committee has subsequently attempted to address these shortcomings, they have not categorically stated whether those seeking asylum still enjoy socio-economic rights recognised under human rights treaties provisions. This book explores the tensions between seemingly universal socio-economic rights and the justification or legitimisation of differences in meeting these rights between citizens and those claiming asylum. The book provides an examination of the normative content of a number of core socio-economic rights for asylum seekers, in particular the right to food, water and shelter, right to health and the right to a decent standard of living. The book analyses the socio-economic rights of asylum seekers under internationalised legal mechanisms including the UN system of human rights protection, the European Union, and the Council of Europe. It questions the legitimacy of differentiation towards the socio-economic of asylum seekers that has been adopted by many states, and presents a persuasive argument as to the inclusivity of socio-economic rights for asylum seekers, while recognising the limits of human rights in this regard.

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.

It was the deadliest terrorist attack of the twentieth century, a bombing which shocked the world. But was the wrong person found guilty?December 21, 1988. All flights between London and New York are full, except for Pan Am 103, where almost half the seats are empty. Thirty-eight minutes after take-off, as the plane flies over the tiny Scottish village of Lockerbie, a bomb explodes in the hull. All 259 people aboard perish.The attack is not a surprise - American diplomats had been warned not to fly with Pan Am - but the flight goes ahead. Eleven years later, a Libyan national is convicted of orchestrating the attack, a judgement which has been increasingly questioned and scrutinized due to its political implications and the fact that no physical evidence was found to tie the man to the crime.In late 2022, journalist Jan Stocklassa is trawling through the late Stieg Larsson's archive of documents when he discovers that the world-famous crime author had been investigating the Lockerbie bombing prior to his death, and he picks up the trail. Who was really behind the terrorist attack? Was it just a coincidence that the flight was half-empty that day? And who stands to benefit the most from the truth being buried all these years?Full of intrigue, scandal and drama, The Man Who Fell From The Sky is a breathless rollercoaster which lifts the lid on a real-life international conspiracy, a deadly plot, and one man's relentless fight for the truth.

The CIA, Lockerbie and the Hunt for the Truth

The Man Who Fell From The Sky

Speech has become an increasingly central feature of international criminal proceedings, particularly in cases involving senior political or military leaders. The PJI Guidelines are grounded in extensive jurisprudence, empirical research, and scholarly analysis, drawing on decisions from international courts and tribunals as well as broader interdisciplinary insights. Anchored on the fundamental right to freedom of expression, the Guidelines conveys guidelines for securing criminal accountability. In doing so, the book addresses cutting edge issues including disinformation, interpretation, social media, and AI propagated inflammatory and hateful speech, among other topics. It proposes 10 Key Guidelines, including an amendment to Article 25(3)(e) to criminalise intentional, direct and public incitement to any atrocity crime under the Rome Statute. Contributors are: Katharina Braun, Juan Manuel Klein, Damla Yasemin Ipek, and Manuel J. Ventura.
