Download or read book Le droit international en devenir written by Michel Virally and published by Graduate Institute Publications. This book was released on 1990 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rares sont les savants qui, au cours de leur carrière, réussissent à embrasser l'ensemble de leur discipline. Michel Virally fut au nombre de ceux-ci : à sa disparition, à l'âge de 67 ans, il avait élaboré une synthèse du droit international. Dans ce recueil, divisé en cinq parties, sont réunis des écrits épars mais essentiels du professeur Virally. Le parcours intellectuel auquel il nous convie englobe des articles et études sur la Théorie générale du droit qui témoignent du goût de l'auteur pour la philosophie juridique et, partant, pour la pensée abstraite. Néanmoins, Michel Virally a voulu insister sur les aspects concrets du droit. Cette apparente antinomie témoigne de sa curiosité intellectuelle comme de son sens des réalités. La partie de ce livre qui concerne les Sources du droit compte de remarquables essais consacrés aux grands débats doctrinaux qui ont agité la science du droit international moderne : le « jus cogens », la valeur des recommandations, la « lex ferenda », le rôle des « principes ». Les études relatives aux Organisations internationales (en particulier les Nations Unies) et au Règlement pacifique des différends internationaux démontrent que le droit international n'a pas à s'inspirer des ordres juridiques internes. Bien au contraire, ce sont les solutions inédites, adaptées aux spécificités des relations entre États, qui se révèlent les plus fructueuses. Dans la dernière partie de ce volume, des contributions traitent du développement du Droit international économique. Michel Virally fut l'un des premiers à saisir l'importance de cette problématique d'une brûlante actualité. Ainsi, les articles sélectionnés permettent de cerner une pensée que l'auteur a développée dans des ouvrages tels que « La Pensée juridique », 1960, et « L'Organisation mondiale », 1972. La publication de cet ouvrage se justifie surtout par la cohérence que revêt ici la présentation structurée d'une oeuvre magistrale. Elle constitue l'hommage que l'Institut universitaire des hautes études internationales rend à un éminent savant.
Download or read book Law Making in the International Community written by G.M. Danilenko and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2024-01-15 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the world approaches the end of the twentieth century it becomes clear that the global legal system governing relations between the members of the international community is passing through a period of profound change. The traditional lawmaking techniques, established largely at the beginning of this century, were constituted so as to provide for only gradual reforms within a limited and homogeneous community of states. Faced with a growing number of global problems, the international community has discovered that the traditional legal system lacks effective procedures for rapid generation of new international legal norms. Law-Making in the International Community examines to what extent the transformations in the social and the legal infrastructures of the international community have affected the traditional rules, determining how international law is to be made or changed. By focusing on actual state practice, official statements of governments and the pronouncements of the World Court, this book seeks to clarify the content and significance of the existing community consensus concerning the authoritative methods of lawmaking.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the Liber Amicorum, dedicated to Professor Budislav Vukas, his colleagues and former students have contributed essays on topical issues of contemporary international law, primarily in the fields that were the focus of Professor Vukas’s interest during his long-lasting academic and international career at the University of Zagreb, Faculty of Law, the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, the International Labour Organization, the Institut de Droit International and many other law schools and international institutions and organizations.

European Court of Human Rights, humanitarian assistance, protection in the event of disasters, social and labour rights, rights of the child), and dispute settlement (i.a. International Court of Justice, International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, arbitration, diplomatic means). Of the 49 essays written by scholars and practitioners from different parts of the world six are in French.

Download or read book International Handbook of Cooperative Law written by Dante Cracogna and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-12 with total page 813 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The degree of development reached by cooperatives of different sectors throughout the world, which among others led to the UN declaring 2012 as the International Year of Cooperatives, needs to be accompanied by a similar development of corresponding legislation. To this end, a better knowledge of cooperative law from the comparative point of view, as has already been established for other types of enterprises, becomes of great importance. This book strives to fill this gap, and is divided into four parts. The first part offers an analytic and conceptual framework with which to understand, study and assess cooperative law from a transnational and comparative perspective. The second part includes several chapters dealing with attempts to harmonize cooperative laws. The third part contains an overview of more than 30 national cooperative laws, while the last part summarizes and compares these national cooperative laws, thus laying the foundation for a comparative cooperative law doctrine.

Download or read book Theory of Obligations in International Law written by Cezary Mik and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-05-07 with total page 622 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining the fulfilment of international obligations by subjects of this law, this book explores the normative and functional links between the sources and rules of international law on the one hand, and the responsibility for violating international law on the other. In the sphere of law-making, the theory of obligations allows for a more precise and considered formulation of international obligations. It has the potential to enable subjects of international law to behave more rationally, allowing deeper reflection on whether to take on obligations and how to properly perform them. This book proposes a new approach to the issue of the proper operation of international law, with the theory of obligations at its heart. Linking the institutions and concepts of international law into a rational whole, the book offers an analysis of the operation of international law and the behaviour of its subjects to develop a framework for ensuring the ultimate effectiveness of international law. Analysing sources of law including treaties and common law, alongside the resolutions of international organisations, this book demonstrates the practical application of the subject with reference to the jurisprudence of international courts and other bodies. The volume will be of interest to scholars, students, and practitioners concerned with international law – its creation, performance, application, compliance, and enforcement.

Download or read book Theory of International Law written by Robert Kolb and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-10-20 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book seeks to analyse various aspects of international law, the link being how they structure and marshal the different forces in the international legal order. It takes the following approaches to the matter. First, an attempt is made to determine the fundamental characteristics of international law, the forces that delineate and permeate its applications. Secondly, the multiple relations between law and policy are analysed. Politics are a highly relevant factor in the implementation of every legal order (and also a threat to it); this is all the more true in international law, where the two forces, law and politics, have significant links. Thirdly, the discussion focuses on a series of fundamental socio-legal notions: the common good, justice, legal security, reciprocity (plus equality and proportionality), liberty, ethics and social morality, and reason.
Download or read book Rewriting Histories of the Use of Force written by Agatha Verdebout and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-09-23 with total page 731 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is commonly taught that the prohibition of the use of force is an achievement of the twentieth century and that beforehand States were free to resort to the arms as they pleased. International law, the story goes, was 'indifferent' to the use of force. 'Reality' as it stems from historical sources, however, appears much more complex. Using tools of history, sociology, anthropology and social psychology, this monograph offers new insights into the history of the prohibition of the use of force in international law. Conducting in-depth analysis of nineteenth century doctrine and State practice, it paves the way for an alternative narrative on the prohibition of force, and seeks to understand the origins of international law's traditional account. In so doing, it also provides a more general reflection on how the discipline writes, rewrites and chooses to remember its own history.
