Download or read book A Practice Theory of International Law written by Daniel Pilchman and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why should states follow international law? We are currently witnessing trends towards rapid expansion of international legal rules and a spreading presumption that treaties, custom, and other forms of law are binding for states. Despite this, work on the normative foundations of international law has not kept up. The predominant theories advanced in the contemporary literature focus on revising law to match some ideal set of criteria, rather than taking seriously the task of evaluating current regimes. Rather than ask what law should be, I ask: Is it possible to justify law as it is? In response, I investigate whether we can construct an independently attractive theory that can justify the authority of international law as we find it. My inquiry begins with an interpretive analysis of current practice, to identify both the form and scope of international legal authority. I then offer an analysis of current theories to see whether any can capture both aspects of current practice. While they cannot, this process gradually produces a silhouette of what a successful theory would have to look like. In light of this, I offer a positive answer to the question: the practice approach to international law. I propose that states have a duty to comply with international law because of the corrective function that system of rules fills in global politics.

Download or read book Customary International Law written by Brian D. Lepard and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-01-11 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Customary international law, although long recognized as a primary source of international law, remains replete with enigmas, both conceptual and practical. These include how to determine the existence of opinio juris, the function of the state practice requirement, the definition of jus cogens customary norms, and the relationship between customary international law and ethics. In part because of these enigmas, the subject has generated a wide-ranging literature. However, no recent book-length work has attempted to articulate a comprehensive theory of customary international law that can effectively resolve these questions. This book sets out to accomplish this goal. Its approach is unique in a number of ways. For example, it is multidisciplinary and draws insights from fields such as legal theory, philosophy, political science, and game theory. In addition, it is anchored in a sophisticated ethical framework and explores at length the interconnections between customary international law and ethics.

Download or read book The Limits of International Law written by Jack L. Goldsmith and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2005-02-03 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International law is much debated and discussed, but poorly understood. Does international law matter, or do states regularly violate it with impunity? If international law is of no importance, then why do states devote so much energy to negotiating treaties and providing legal defenses for their actions? In turn, if international law does matter, why does it reflect the interests of powerful states, why does it change so often, and why are violations of international law usually not punished? In this book, Jack Goldsmith and Eric Posner argue that international law matters but that it is less powerful and less significant than public officials, legal experts, and the media believe. International law, they contend, is simply a product of states pursuing their interests on the international stage. It does not pull states towards compliance contrary to their interests, and the possibilities for what it can achieve are limited. It follows that many global problems are simply unsolvable. The book has important implications for debates about the role of international law in the foreign policy of the United States and other nations. The authors see international law as an instrument for advancing national policy, but one that is precarious and delicate, constantly changing in unpredictable ways based on non-legal changes in international politics. They believe that efforts to replace international politics with international law rest on unjustified optimism about international law's past accomplishments and present capacities.
Download or read book International Law Theories written by Andrea Bianchi and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-11-10 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two fish are swimming in a pond. 'Do you know what?' the fish asks his friend. 'No, tell me.' 'I was talking to a frog the other day. And he told me that we are surrounded by water!' His friend looks at him with great scepticism: 'Water? Whats that? Show me some water!' International lawyers often find themselves focused on the practice of the law rather than the underlying theories. This book is an attempt to stir up 'the water' that international lawyers swim in. It analyses a range of theoretical approaches to international law and invites readers to engage with different ways of legal thinking in order to familiarize themselves with the water all around us, of which we hardly have any perception. The main aim of this book is to provide interested scholars, practitioners, and students of international law and other disciplines with an introduction to various international legal theories, their genealogies, and possible critiques. By providing an analytical approach to international legal theory, the book encourages readers to enhance their sensitivity to these different approaches and to consider how the presuppositions behind each theory affect analysis, research, and practice in international law. International Law Theories is intended to assist students, scholars, and practitioners in reflecting more generally about how knowledge is formed in the field.

Download or read book The Individual in the International Legal System written by Kate Parlett and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-04-14 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kate Parlett's study of the individual in the international legal system examines the way in which individuals have come to have a certain status in international law, from the first treaties conferring rights and capacities on individuals through to the present day. The analysis cuts across fields including human rights law, international investment law, international claims processes, humanitarian law and international criminal law in order to draw conclusions about structural change in the international legal system. By engaging with much new literature on non-state actors in international law, she seeks to dispel myths about state-centrism and the direction in which the international legal system continues to evolve.

Download or read book Unity and Pluralism in Public International Law written by Oriol Casanovas y La Rosa and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 2001-07-25 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The proliferation of international courts and the extension of international regulation to new areas have been considered to be threatening for the unity of Public International Law as a legal system. These developments are the consequence of the increasing formation of legal subsystems (material international regimes) which continue to grow in complexity. How these trends affect the unity of the international legal system requires theoretical scrutiny of its fundamental bases. This work considers that the unity of the international legal system depends upon its normative structure, and on the social medium in which it is applied: the evolving international community. A unified international legal system has as its ultimate goal the protection of human dignity through the international regulation of human rights. The question of the unifying stability of the international legal system and the development of legal subsystems within it encourages a review of the major issues of current Public International Law, considering the evolution from traditional doctrines to recent approaches. This review is done from an analytical frame that provides a deeper understanding of the current situation of Public International Law as a legal system.
