Book excerpt: This collection of essays by his friends and colleagues honours Sir Peter North's remarkable career and outstanding contribution to private international law. It takes as its theme the reform and development of private international law, reflecting the three different levels at which the development and reform of private international law takes place. Robin Morse discusses the creeping codification of private international law. Trevor Hartley draws attention to an area of private international law, that relating to matrimonial property, which is entirely judge-made. Joost Blom shows how quickly the judges, in this case in the Supreme Court of Canada, can develop private international law once they set their mind to it. Sir Lawrence Collins discusses the concept of comity in modern private international law. Writers too have had their part to play in the development of private international law; this is the subject of the contribution by Ole Lando. Kurt Siehr looks at the impact of international instruments on national private international law and the problems that this throws up. A number of contributors discuss various aspects of the ever-growing Europeanization of private international law. Ian Fletcher focuses on the EC Regulation on Insolvency Proceedings and its impact upon established law and practice in England and Wales. Paul Beaumont examines questions of legal basis and external competence and the best way for the UK and Europe to be represented in issues of private international law globally as well as offering a technical analysis of the contract provision of the Brussels I Regulation. Hans Ulrich Jessurun d'Oliveira examines the uneasy relationship between the European Union and private international law and the movement towards eroding the latter. Peter Nygh compares declining jurisdiction under the Brussels I Regulation and the preliminary draft Hague Judgments Convention. Other contributors have concentrated on aspects of the reformof private international law on a world-wide basis. Jonathan Harris discusses the Hague Convention on the Law Applicable to Trusts and on their Recognition 1985 in his examination of the trust in private international law. Not surprisingly there is much discussion in this book of the ambitious project that has been absorbing the Hague Conference for nearly ten years, namely a Hague Convention on Jurisdiction and Foreign Judgments in Civil and Commercial Matters. David McClean discusses the history of the project and, if it does fail, a possible way forward. Ron Brand suggests a more modest goal at the Hague Conference, namely a choice of court plus recognition convention. Whatever the fate of the Hague Judgments Convention, the work undertaken at the Hague can still be used in the future. It can inform the discussion of what we should do in intellectual property cases in private international law, which is the subject of James Fawcett's contribution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary debates about the changing nature of law engage theories of legal pluralism, political economy, social systems, international relations (or regime theory), global constitutionalism, and public international law. Such debates reveal a variety of emerging responses to distributional issues which arise beyond the Western welfare state and new conceptions of private transnational authority. However, private international law tends to stand aloof, claiming process-based neutrality or the apolitical nature of private law technique and refusing to recognize frontiers beyond than those of the nation-state. As a result, the discipline is paradoxically ill-equipped to deal with the most significant cross-border legal difficulties - from immigration to private financial regulation - which might have been expected to fall within its remit. Contributing little to the governance of transnational non-state power, it is largely complicit in its unhampered expansion. This is all the more a paradox given that the new thinking from other fields which seek to fill the void - theories of legal pluralism, peer networks, transnational substantive rules, privatized dispute resolution, and regime collision - have long been part of the daily fare of the conflict of laws. The crucial issue now is whether private international law can, or indeed should, survive as a discipline. This volume lays the foundations for a critical approach to private international law in the global era. While the governance of global issues such as health, climate, and finance clearly implicates the law, and particularly international law, its private law dimension is generally invisible. This book develops the idea that the liberal divide between public and private international law has enabled the unregulated expansion of transnational private power in these various fields. It explores the potential of private international law to reassert a significant governance function in respect of new forms of authority beyond the state. To do so, it must shed a number of assumptions entrenched in the culture of the nation-state, but this will permit the discipline to expand its potential to confront major issues in global governance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a revised updated version of the General Course of Lectures on Private International Law delivered at the Hague Academy of International Law in 1990. The overall purpose is to examine the development & reform of choice of law rules in a number of common law jurisdictions. Much has been written about the 'Revolution' in conflict of laws in the U.S.A.; rather less account, however, has been taken of the major changes elsewhere in the common law world. This work serves to provide a critical account of those developments over the past few decades. Some changes are more recent & of international origin, such as the European Community Rome Convention (1980) on the law applicable to contractual obligations or the Hague Conventions on Child Abduction (1980), on Marriage (1978) & on Succession (1988), & consideration is given to their impact on common law jurisdictions. The process of change is a continuous one & attention is also devoted to current proposals for reform in the fields, for example, of domicile & torts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: to Seeking the answer to the three basic questions of contempo rary private international law, I also deemed it essential to out line to the reader the historical development of the different concepts of this particular branch of law, for without the know ledge of this history it is impossible to understand the contempo rary problems. The fact that private international law oscillates between public international law and substantive municipal law as it is applied in individual countries creates considerable problems in both theory and practice. I have tried to deal with these problems in the third part of my study, concerning "universa lism" and "nationalism" in the doctrine of private international law, as well as in its fourth part, which is devoted to the object and nature of this law and its place in the overall system of law. The character of private international law, ensuing from the plurality of municipal laws - which also characterize the origin and existence of comparative jurisprudence - in spired me to produce the fifth part of this study, which prima rily tries to expJain the theoretical problems of comparative jurisprudence but does so - defining its objectives and possibili ties - in order to underline at the same time its role in private international law and in the law of international trade.

This book was released on 1996-06-03 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this course devoted to the American approach of the international process of progressive development of private international law, Peter Pfund, Assistant Legal Adviser at the US Department of State, hopes to demystify the international process of unification/harmonization of "private" law at the international level. This study is primarily focused on the process of harmonization as such. Peter Pfund starts his course by a general introduction to the international unification of private international law. He explains in what follows how the United States prepares for and participates in international meetings and conferences, ratifies conventions, and seeks to make the conventions concerning private international law work. Peter Pfund then looks at the role of the United States in intergovernmental negotiations and the success of conventions, at the model laws and rules that are its results, at the major current and future projects, and at the usefulness of the unification/harmonization of private international law. The author then presents the 1980 United Nations Convention on contracts for the international sale of goods as an example of the international and United States domestic processes. Lastly, he analyses the 1993 Hague Intercounty Adoption Convention: problems confronting the United States in its negotiation, and issues that need to be resolved in order to ratify the convention"--Publisher's description.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nine essays collected here, some originally delivered as lectures, others written as law journal articles, have all appeared over the past fifteen years. They examine issues of topical importance in the three traditional areas of private international law: the jurisdiction of the courts, choice of the applicable law, and the recognition of foreign judgments. These areas are discussed with reference to a wide range of subject issues, in particular contract, tort, family law, and some aspects of property law. A major theme is reform and change, not only within the United Kingdom, but also as a consequence of developments within the European Community and in the light of proposals in the U.S. and worldwide.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book explores how international organizations (IOs) have expanded their powers over time without formally amending their founding treaties. IOs intervene in military, financial, economic, political, social, and cultural affairs, and increasingly take on roles not explicitly assigned to them by law. The proposed book will contend that this 'mission creep' has allowed IOs to intervene internationally, most often in the Global South, in a way that has allowed them to recast institutions within and interactions among states, societies, and peoples on a broadly Western, liberal model. Adopting a historical and interdisciplinary, socio-legal approach, it supports this claim through detailed investigations of historical episodes involving three very different organizations: the International Labour Organization in the interwar period; the United Nations in the two decades following the Second World War; and the World Bank from the 1950s through to the 1990s. The book draws on a wide range of original institutional and archival materials, bringing to light little-known aspects of each organization's activities, identifying continuities in the ideas and practices of international governance across the twentieth century, and speaking to a range of pressing theoretical questions in present-day international law and international relations --Front flap of the book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The chapters in this volume are based on the papers that were presented at the Calcutta seminar organized in March 1992 by the ILA Committee on Lehal Aspects of a New International Economic Order (NIEO). The conference focused on the right to development, in particular its ideas and ideology, human rights aspects and implementation in specific areas of international law. The volume is accordingly organized in three parts. The chapters cover a vast area of subjects, derived from the UN Declaration of the Right to Development. From the developed and underdeveloped world 33 authors discuss topics including: contents, scope and implementation of the right to development; human rights of individuals and peoples; co-operation between the European Community and the Lomé IV states; current developments in investments treaties; refugee protection; development and democracy; concept of sustainable development; environmental issues; protection of intellectual property; transfer of technology; human rights in international financial institutions; and the legal conceptualization of the debt crisis. Professor Oscar Schachter observes in the first chapter that the Declaration continues to be a `challenging subject for legal commentary' for its `detable legal status, its combination of collective and individual rights, its expansive conception of development and its equivocal obligation'. Apart from support, doubts about the concept to the right to development may also be found in this volume.

Download or read book The Politics of International Law written by Martti Koskenniemi and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2011-06-10 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today international law is everywhere. Wars are fought and opposed in its name. It is invoked to claim rights and to challenge them, to indict or support political leaders, to distribute resources and to expand or limit the powers of domestic and international institutions. International law is part of the way political (and economic) power is used, critiqued, and sometimes limited. Despite its claim for neutrality and impartiality, it is implicit in what is just, as well as what is unjust in the world. To understand its operation requires shedding its ideological spell and examining it with a cold eye. Who are its winners, and who are its losers? How - if at all - can it be used to make a better or a less unjust world? In this collection of essays Professor Martti Koskenniemi, a well-known practitioner and a leading theorist and historian of international law, examines the recent debates on humanitarian intervention, collective security, protection of human rights and the 'fight against impunity' and reflects on the use of the professional techniques of international law to intervene politically. The essays both illustrate and expand his influential theory of the role of international law in international politics. The book is prefaced with an introduction by Professor Emmanuelle Jouannet (Sorbonne Law School), which locates the texts in the overall thought and work of Martti Koskenniemi.
