Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past two hundred years have seen the transformation of public international law from a rule-based extrusion of diplomacy into a fully-fledged legal system. Landmark Cases in Public International Law examines decisions that have contributed to the development of international law into an integrated whole, whilst also creating specialised sub-systems that stand alone as units of analysis. The significance of these decisions is not taken for granted, with contributors critically interrogating the cases to determine if their reputation as 'landmarks' is deserved. Emphasis is also placed on seeing each case as a diplomatic artefact, highlighting that international law, while unquestionably a legal system, remains reliant on the practice and consent of states as the prime movers of development. The cases selected cover a broad range of subject areas including state immunity, human rights, the environment, trade and investment, international organisations, international courts and tribunals, the laws of war, international crimes, and the interface between international and municipal legal systems. A wide array of international and domestic courts are also considered, from the International Court of Justice to the European Court of Human Rights, World Trade Organization Appellate Body, US Supreme Court and other adjudicative bodies. The result is a three-dimensional picture of international law: what it was, what it is, and what it might yet become.

Download or read book Building International Investment Law written by Meg Kinnear and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2015-12-22 with total page 778 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume celebrates the first fifty years of the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) by presenting the landmark cases that have been decided under its auspices. These cases have addressed every aspect of investment disputes: jurisdictional thresholds; the substantive obligations found in investment treaties, contracts, and legislation; questions of general international law; and a number of novel procedural issues. Each chapter, written by an expert on the chapter’s particular focus, looks at an international investment law topic through the lens of one or more of these leading cases, analyzing what the case held, how it has been applied, and its overall significance to the development of international investment law. These topics include: - applicable law; - res judicata in investor-State arbitration; - notion of investment; - investor nationality; - consent to arbitration; - substantive standards of treatment; - consequences of corruption in investor-State arbitration; - State defenses - counter-claims; - assessment of damages and cost considerations; - ICSID Arbitration Rule 41(5) objections; - mass claims, consolidation and parallel proceedings; - provisional measures; - arbitrator challenges; - transparency and amicus curiae; and - annulment. Because the law of international investment continues to grow in importance in an ever globalizing world, this book is more than a fitting way to mark the past fifty years and to welcome the next fifty years of development. It will prove both educational for practitioners new to the field and informative for seasoned investment lawyers. Moreover, the book itself is a landmark that will be of great value to professionals, scholars and students interested in international investment law.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Janis, Noyes, and Sadat on International Law presents this complex subject in an authoritative and well-written casebook. The book introduces the history and nature of international law and its sources--treaties, custom, general principles, jus cogens, and equity. It explains how international law is applied in U.S. courts and in international arbitration and adjudication. The book addresses many of the key settings in which international law plays a critical role: international human rights, the recognition and succession of states and governments, international and non-governmental organizations, war and peace, the law of the sea, and inter-state judicial relations. The book's materials, largely domestic and international judicial decisions, are both sophisticated and teachable, the perfect introductory casebook for any U.S. law school.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Leading Cases on International Law Since international law is the result of the practice of all nations, an ideal collection of cases on the subject would represent the courts of all countries. This however is a degree of perfection which is impossible of realization, and from the standpoint of a student of the subject, it is not altogether desirable. The value of a case to a student is that it is a judicial discussion of the law applicable to a certain state of facts, and his interest should be centered upon the reasoning of the court rather than upon the conclusion at which it arrives. But the decisions of courts outside of common-law jurisdictions are usually not cast in such a form as to make them useful to students. For this reason and also because this collection was intended to be a brief one, it is confined to decisions from British and American jurisdictions. This however does not prevent considerable variety in point of view, since the collection comprises decisions from the highest courts of Massachusetts and New York, the several inferior Federal courts, the Court of Claims and the Supreme Court of the United States, while the far-flung empire of our British kinsmen is represented by decisions of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, the House of Lords, the High Court of Justice, the High Court of Admiralty, the High Court of Justiciary of Scotland, as well as by the decisions of courts sitting in Egypt, South Africa and Hong-Kong. As between British and American decisions, I am not conscious of any bias in favor of those of my own country, but have only sought to select such as would best serve the purpose. Of the cases, 102 in number, which constitute the collection, 48 were decided in British courts and 54 in American courts. In view of the great importance of the subject, I have also included a note on Aerial Jurisdiction, - a new topic in international law on which there is as yet no judicial decision. For economy of space some of the longer cases have been abbreviated by the omission of unessential matter.
