Download or read book The International Criminal Court and Africa written by Charles Chernor Jalloh and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-10-06 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Africa has been at the forefront of contemporary global efforts towards ensuring greater accountability for international crimes. But the continent's early embrace of international criminal justice seems to be taking a new turn with the recent resistance from some African states claiming that the emerging system of international criminal law represents a new form of imperialism masquerading as international rule of law. This book analyses the relationship and tensions between the International Criminal Court (ICC) and Africa. It traces the origins of the confrontation between African governments, both acting individually and within the framework of the African Union, and the permanent Hague-based ICC. Leading commentators offer valuable insights on the core legal and political issues that have confused the relationship between the two sides and expose the uneasy interaction between international law and international politics. They offer suggestions on how best to continue the fight against impunity, using national, ICC, and regional justice mechanisms, while taking into principled account the views and interests of African States.

Download or read book The Court and the World written by Stephen Breyer and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2015-09-15 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this original, far-reaching, and timely book, Justice Stephen Breyer examines the work of the Supreme Court of the United States in an increasingly interconnected world, a world in which all sorts of activity, both public and private—from the conduct of national security policy to the conduct of international trade—obliges the Court to understand and consider circumstances beyond America’s borders. It is a world of instant communications, lightning-fast commerce, and shared problems (like public health threats and environmental degradation), and it is one in which the lives of Americans are routinely linked ever more pervasively to those of people in foreign lands. Indeed, at a moment when anyone may engage in direct transactions internationally for services previously bought and sold only locally (lodging, for instance, through online sites), it has become clear that, even in ordinary matters, judicial awareness can no longer stop at the water’s edge. To trace how foreign considerations have come to inform the thinking of the Court, Justice Breyer begins with that area of the law in which they have always figured prominently: national security in its constitutional dimension—how should the Court balance this imperative with others, chiefly the protection of basic liberties, in its review of presidential and congressional actions? He goes on to show that as the world has grown steadily “smaller,” the Court’s horizons have inevitably expanded: it has been obliged to consider a great many more matters that now cross borders. What is the geographical reach of an American statute concerning, say, securities fraud, antitrust violations, or copyright protections? And in deciding such matters, can the Court interpret American laws so that they might work more efficiently with similar laws in other nations? While Americans must necessarily determine their own laws through democratic process, increasingly, the smooth operation of American law—and, by extension, the advancement of American interests and values—depends on its working in harmony with that of other jurisdictions. Justice Breyer describes how the aim of cultivating such harmony, as well as the expansion of the rule of law overall, with its attendant benefits, has drawn American jurists into the relatively new role of “constitutional diplomats,” a little remarked but increasingly important job for them in this fast-changing world. Written with unique authority and perspective, The Court and the World reveals an emergent reality few Americans observe directly but one that affects the life of every one of us. Here is an invaluable understanding for lawyers and non-lawyers alike.

This book was released on 2024-08-05 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2023 in the subject Law - European and International Law, Intellectual Properties, grade: 1,3, Christian-Albrechts-University of Kiel, language: English, abstract: While until the mid 2000’s the proliferation of international treaties, conventions and organizations that intended to guide state’s behavior could be found, scholars do currently observe a rejection of legalization and judicialization (Mondré et al 2010; Voeten 2022). This does not mean a hostile attitude towards “globalization, international organizations, and democracy” (Voeten 2022). States rather abandon bilateral investment treaties, and leave, or threaten to leave international courts (cf. ibid.). But this does not apply to all types of international treaties and Courts. States can, e.g., decide to leave the Rome Statute within the International Criminal Court (ICC), while they cannot decide to leave the International Court of Justice (ICJ) since it is, acc. to Art. 1 ICJ-Statute, the principal judicial organ of the United Nations and shall function in accordance with its provisions of the Statute. What they can do though, is to decide to withdraw from the “optional clause”, acc. to Art. 36 para. 2 ICJ-Statute, meaning states may at any time declare that they recognize the jurisdiction as compulsory ipso facto and without special agreement or on the opposite avoiding the ICJ at all. A form of rejection or avoidance can thereby be determined, whenever states do not use the ICJ at all or withdraw from its optional clause as the United States did in 1985 after the Court issued an unfavorable jurisdictional decision in a case relating to a U.S. military intervention in Nicaragua (cf. Anderson 2018). Scholars describe this kind of behavior as “pushback”, meaning states accept the system in general but do not use it on their own and practice criticism (Madsen et al 2018).

Download or read book States of Justice written by Oumar Ba and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-07-02 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book theorizes the ways in which states that are presumed to be weaker in the international system use the International Criminal Court (ICC) to advance their security and political interests. Ultimately, it contends that African states have managed to instrumentally and strategically use the international justice system to their advantage, a theoretical framework that challenges the “justice cascade” argument. The empirical work of this study focuses on four major themes around the intersection of power, states' interests, and the global governance of atrocity crimes: firstly, the strategic use of self-referrals to the ICC; secondly, complementarity between national and the international justice system; thirdly, the limits of state cooperation with international courts; and finally the use of international courts in domestic political conflicts. This book is valuable to students, scholars, and researchers who are interested in international relations, international criminal justice, peace and conflict studies, human rights, and African politics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the third volume in the series by the "Leiden Journal of" "International Law" dealing with the Decade of International Law and International Dispute Settlement. In this book, the 50th anniversary of the International Court of Justice is commemorated. Its past and future role is examined from various angles which have been defined as "roles "played by the Court. First and foremost, its role as a mechanism for the settlement of disputes is examined. The analysis goes beyond the traditional frontiers of disputes between states and also explores the possibilities of granting international organizations and individuals access to the Court. The second role that is looked into is its supervisory role, or, in other words, its possible role as supreme court in international law. Thirdly, the Court in its advisory function is examined. The last role that is focused upon is the Court in its role as developer of rules of international law. The book ends with a conclusion from both a legal and a political perspective.
