Download or read book Documents on the Law of UN Peace Operations written by Bruce Oswald and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-06-20 with total page 989 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the first edition of this book was published in 2010, United Nations peace operations have evolved significantly. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Central African Republic, and South Sudan, UN peacekeepers are now engaged in building peace by fighting non-State armed actors, and must consider issues concerning the application of law and policy governing the use of armed force when protecting civilians. In addition, the UN and its peacekeepers are increasingly being held to higher standards of accountability to ensure that their engagement with local forces and populations meets normative requirements found in international humanitarian law and international human rights law. This extensively revised edition of Documents on the Law of UN Peace Operations addresses the key normative principles, rules, and standards that have been a part of this evolution. The book provides essential documents, accompanied with commentary, which identify and explain the legal framework or applicable legal norms involved in the planning, management and conduct of UN peace operations. Topics covered include obligations under international humanitarian law, human rights law, international criminal law, and privileges and immunities. Special attention is also paid to matters such as accountability, the rule of law, and the protection of civilians.

Download or read book Understanding International Institutions and the Legislative Process written by Paul Szasz and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-11-08 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the realm of the law of international organizations and treaty law, few commentators have made a more significant contribution than Paul C. Szasz. In his years of distinguished service at the U.N., and in his subsequent career as a prominent consultant to international institutions, he has mastered a highly specialized body of knowledge that allows him to study the inner and outer workings of the international legislative, administrative, and judicial processes with unique and compelling authority. His incisive essays, always deeply informed with first-hand experience, have gone directly to the heart of the most vital international legal issues of our time. This volume gathers twenty-one essays that will be of inestimable value to the entire community of public international lawyers. With penetrating insight Szasz exposes the institutional underpinnings affecting such international law matters as: law-making in international organizations, the obligation to arbitrate, monitoring treaty compliance, UN system "complexification," sanctions, the advisory competence of the World Court, the legal liability of diplomats, peacekeeping intervention, and the role of NGOs. Specific facts and events-such as the U.S. action in the 1988 PLO mission controversy, developments in the safeguards regime of the International Atomic Energy Agency, the Kosovo Conflict, the Dayton Accords, and the Namibian peace process-provide a firm topical basis for the author's analysis of policy, practice, and theory in this little-understood but crucially important area of international governance. Published under the Transnational Publishers imprint.

Book excerpt: This Handbook explores the main themes and topics of the emerging field of Global Administrative Law with contributions by leading scholars and experts from universities and organizations around the world. The variety of the subjects addressed and the internationality of the Handbook’s perspectives make for a truly global and multi-dimensional view of the field. The book first examines the growth of global administrations, their interactions within global networks, the emergence of a global administrative process, and the development of the rule of law and democratic principles at a global level. It goes on to illustrate the relationship between global law and other legal orders, with particular attention to regional systems and national orders. The final section, devoted to the emergence of a global legal culture, brings the book full circle by identifying the growth of a global epistemic community. The Research Handbook on Global Administrative Law provides a contemporary overview of the nascent field in detailed yet accessible terms, making it a valuable book for university courses. Academics and scholars with an interest in international law, administrative law, public law, and comparative law will find value in this book, as well as legal professionals involved with international and supranational organizations and national civil servants dealing with supranational organizations.

Download or read book Linguistic Justice at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia written by Besmir Fidahić and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2020-11-24 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first of its kind, this book treats language justice in the realm of the international criminal law, focusing specifically on the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY). Defining linguistic justice to mean whether the parties to the proceedings have been addressed by the ICTY in their own language, this study explores the conditions for the delivery of linguistic justice in a context where language plays a key role in the conflict. After presenting a very brief history of language quarrels in the former Yugoslavia and pointing to a series of examples where the language, and underlying ethnic and national identities, have been used as a tool for a conflict, the book reviews ICTY language laws, language-related case law, and procedural linguistic equality of arms between the ICTY Prosecution and Defense to set the stage for language-related work that had to be carried out by the ICTY’s language services providers. After reviewing the history, the recruitment, professional criteria and standards, and training of all ICTY language professionals, this book explores whether linguistic justice has been served by showing overall outputs in translation and interpretation, overall ethnicity- and nationality-based language service delivery, and translation of the permanent court record. It shows that there is much more to provision of language services at international criminal tribunals adjudicating on ethnically motivated war crimes than traditionally thought, and questions whether any of it make any sense as things stand.
Download or read book International Organizations and the Idea of Autonomy written by Richard Collins and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2011-04-20 with total page 566 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International Organizations and the Idea of Autonomy is an exploratory text looking at the idea of intergovernmental organizations as autonomous international actors. In the context of concerns over the accountability of powerful international actors exercising increasing levels of legal and political authority, in areas as diverse as education, health, financial markets and international security, the book comes at a crucial time. Including contributions from leading scholars in the fields of international law, politics and governance, it addresses themes of institutional autonomy in international law and governance from a range of theoretical and subject-specific contexts. The collection looks internally at aspects of the institutional law of international organizations and the workings of specific regimes and institutions, as well as externally at the proliferation of autonomous organizations in the international legal order as a whole. Although primarily a legal text, the book takes a broad, thematic and inter-disciplinary approach. In this respect, International Organizations and the Idea of Autonomy offers an excellent resource for both practitioners and students undertaking courses of advanced study in international law, the law of international organizations, global governance, as well as aspects of international relations and organization.

Download or read book The Legal Foundations of INTERPOL written by Rutsel Silvestre J Martha and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-11-26 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the publication of the extremely well regarded first edition of this title, the legal regime which forms the basis for INTERPOL has changed significantly due to increasing criticism and calls for reform. This timely new edition provides a complete update to reflect the significant developments within the Organization since 2010. This new edition also examines INTERPOL's internal and external law and situates INTERPOL's assistance to its members in the legal regime of responsibility. It is the first text to undertake this task. It draws on the jurisprudence of the Commission for the Control of INTERPOL's Files and the authors' extensive experience before this body to discuss in great detail how an individual can challenge INTERPOL's interventions (including the issuance of notices) on the basis of the Organization's internal rules. It also meticulously describes the procedures under which INTERPOL members might challenge INTERPOL's interventions and how an individual can hold INTERPOL responsible for breaches of its external law. Retaining the clarity of expression and expert analysis that were hallmarks of the first edition, this book is required reading for practitioners and academics alike. It provides academics with a valuable case study on the creation of an international organisation and the responsibility of international organisations, and it offers practitioners a forensic analysis of how to challenge INTERPOL and its actions.

Download or read book An Institutional And Normative Analysis of the World Trade Organization written by Mary E. Footer and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 2006 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book establishes a framework for analysis of the institutional and normative character of the WTO by locating the organization in a broader theory of international institutional law and in determining the basis for the conferral and exercise of powers in relation to its executive, legislative and adjudicative functions. The WTO is also read as an international regime in order to go beyond its formal legal and constitutional bases and to observe the Members' practice in the context of the former semi-institutionalised GATT treaty regime with which it retains strong links. WTO decision-making, which underpins and informs its institutional and normative acts, is analysed in order to better understand the dynamics of the organization. Normative developments in the WTO are reviewed from the perspective of the creation, maintenance and revision of legally binding and non-binding or 'soft' law norms, in the sense of principles, rules and standards contained in primary treaty rules, which set out the rights and obligations of the Members, and subsidiary rule-making activity by WTO bodies.

This book was released on 2023-10-16 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The significance of this book, one of the essential works to examine the concept of nationality in international law, has been renewed by the emerging debate on the concept of citizenship in the context of the global human rights regime. Professor Donner starts from the basic rule that it is the right of each sovereign independent state to determine who are its nationals, as evidenced in their nationality legislation (the reserved domain) and in the practice of diplomatic protection. She proceeds with an analysis of any possible standards or rules set by public international law. This is a valuable study of one of the most fundamental issues in the law of nations.
