Images of nature abound in the practice of international environmental law but their significance in law is unclear. Drawing on visual jurisprudence, and interpretative methods for visual art, this book analyses photographs for their representations of nature's aesthetic value in treaty processes that concern world heritage, whales and biodiversity. It argues that visual images should be embraced in the prosaic practice of international law, particularly for treaties that demand judgements of nature's aesthetic value. This environmental value is in practice conflated with natural beauty, ethical and cultural values, and displaced by economic and scientific values. Interpretations of visual images can serve instead to critique and conceive sensory, imaginative and emotional appreciations of nature from different cultural perspectives as proposed by philosophers of environmental aesthetics. Addressing questions of value and the visual, this landmark book shows how images can be engaged by nations to better protect the environment under international law.

Images of nature abound in international environmental law but their significance is unclear. This landmark book shows how interpretations of images through visual art can inform judgements of nature's aesthetic value under treaties in ways relevant to international law practitioners, legal scholars of the visual, and environmental philosophers.

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.

Asylum Law and Practice

This book is the first comprehensive academic treatment of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) and employment rights, which has a global vocation demonstrated by having been ratified by 173 States since it was adopted in 1966. Workers' rights need protection and reinforcement. To achieve this aim, international human rights standards can play an important role. The ICESCR is the most important global UN instrument in this respect. It covers a wide range of employment rights, including the right to strike, and has global application. But it is not sufficiently developed and used, and national implementation often needs improvement. Part 1 of the book analyses general issues related to the Covenant, such as context, development, challenges, influences at the global and regional levels, interpretation and procedural elements. Part 2 deals with the specific provisions which are directly linked to the employment relation. The book is based on a thorough analysis, mainly, but not exclusively, of the case law of the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (CESCR), that is monitoring the national implementation of the Covenant. Together, the chapters in this book will empower academics and practitioners in labour law to find answers to relevant and practical problems in order to better enforce and improve workers' rights. The book is the result of a project by the 'Transnational Trade Union Rights' experts Network (TTUR), linked to the European Trade Union Institute (ETUI).

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.

Internationales Recht der Gegenwart

Mit seiner Warnung vor einer zunehmenden Entfernung Europas von gemeinsamen demokratischen Werten durch restriktivere "Hate Speech"-Regulierung weist US-Vizepräsident J. D. Vance erneut auf die grundsätzliche Unvereinbarkeit amerikanischer und europäischer Meinungsfreiheitsjudikatur hin. Kanada und Australien, den USA historisch nahestehend, setzen mit dem Einsatz privatrechtlichen Deliktrechts für "Hate Speech"-Verbote eigene Akzente. Dennoch verlaufen die rechtspolitischen Debatten dort ähnlich wie zwischen den USA und Europa. Der Zusammenhang dieser intensiven Kontroversen mit Migration und demografischem Wandel weltweit ist unübersehbar.

This book offers a comprehensive legal examination of the proportionality of sanctions for doping in sports. Doping violates the level playing field and the spirit of sport and devastates athletes' health. While punishing those who violate anti-doping rules is essential, the battle against doping should not become a relentless pursuit without redemption. This book offers an innovative look into the proportionality of sanctions for doping, calling for a balanced approach that is both strong and fair. This book examines the World Anti-Doping Code in force from 2027 and changes compared to its predecessors. Some sanctions can be considered proportionate, but some may be excessively harsh. This book delves into the critical areas where punishment might overstep the bounds of proportionality. It analyses cases where sanctions may permanently end athletes' careers or ignore circumstances surrounding their cases. This book answers one important question: Could a more compassionate approach lead to a cleaner and more humane sport? The book proposes modifications to the current system. By aligning sanctions with the goals of clean sport and allowing room for reform, anti-doping organisations can build a fairer sporting world where second chances are not a forbidden dream.

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.
