Practical and legal hurdles, including the difficulty of locating hidden Al Qaeda members and the infeasibility of enforcing judgments in terrorism cases, hinder victims' attempts to establish liability in U.S. courts against, and recover financially from, those they argue are directly responsible for the September 11 terrorist attacks. Instead, victims have sued numerous individuals and entities with only indirect ties to the attacks, including defendants who allegedly provided monetary support to Al Qaeda prior to September 11, 2001.

Expanding upon the normative position of co-progressiveness elaborated in Towards an International Law of Co-progressiveness (Martinus Nijhoff, 2004), this volume explores membership, leadership, and responsibility in the international system and how these matters reflect and inform international law. Issues discussed include: (1) the recognition and role of States, civilizations, and regions in the international system and how these entities are influenced by factors such as declarations of independence, intrinsic and instrumental values, diversity, and public opinion; (2) the distribution of power among States, its legitimacy, and the consequent influence this distribution has on the international system and world politics; and (3) member responsibility for acts of international organizations as well as the possibility of establishing and enforcing universal jurisdiction as a tool for implementing responsibility across the world.

Das Handbuch bietet erstmals eine systematische Darstellung der Staatshaftungssysteme in den EU-Mitgliedstaaten sowie in der Schweiz und der Türkei. Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede in den verschiedenen Rechtsordnungen der europäischen Staaten werden aufgezeigt, in den Kontext des Unionsrechts gestellt und Ansätze für ein künftig einheitliches Staatshaftungsrecht skizziert. Das Werk enthält zum einen mehr als zwanzig Berichte über die Staatshaftungsregimes in den Einzelstaaten; zum anderen erläutert ein übergreifender Sachbericht den gesamteuropäischen Kontext und zieht vergleichende Schlussfolgerungen zu den einzelnen Sachthemen. Aus der Zusammenschau der nationalen Staatshaftungssysteme mit dem Stand der richterrechtlich entwickelten Unionshaftung wird das Staatshaftungsrecht in der EU umfassend analysiert sowie seine Entwicklungsmöglichkeiten auf der Grundlage allgemeiner Rechtsgrundsätze bestimmt.

This book is the result of the Council of Europe Pilot Project on State Practice Regarding State Immunities carried out under the auspices of the Committee of Legal Advisers on Public International Law (CAHDI) since 2002. It presents and analyses the material submitted by 27 Member States and one Observer State of the Council of Europe, including decisions of national courts, relevant legislation and other documents. The analytical report was undertaken by the Department of European, International and Comparative Law of the University of Vienna, the British Institute of International and Comparative Law and the Graduate Institute of International Studies, Geneva. It compares State practice with the relevant articles of the UN Convention, the European Convention on State Immunity and the draft articles prepared by academic institutions. It is the first in depth-analysis of European State practice in the field of State immunity. Such a broad analysis is essential, in particular for the ascertainment of customary international law. This book is addressed to officials, practitioners engaged in business relations with foreign States, and academics. Ce livre est le résultat du Projet Pilote du Conseil de l'Europe sur la Pratique des Etats concernant les immunités des Etats réalisé sous les auspices du Comité des Conseillers Juridiques sur le Droit International Public (CAHDI) depuis 2002. Il présente et analyse la documentation fournie par 28 Etats membres et un Etat observateur du Conseil de l'Europe, y compris des décisions des juridictions nationales, la législation pertinente et d'autres documents. Le rapport analytique a été élaboré par le Département de droit européen, international et comparé de l'Université de Vienne, l'Institut britannique de Droit International et Comparé et l'Institut des Hautes Etudes Internationales, Genève. Il compare la pratique des Etats avec les articles pertinents de la Convention des Nations Unies, de la Convention européenne sur l'immunité des Etats et les projets d'articles préparés par les institutions académiques. C'est la première analyse approfondie de la pratique des Etats européens en matière d'immunité des Etats. Une analyse aussi large est indispensable notamment en vue de l'identification du droit international coutumier. Ce livre s'adresse aux fonctionnaires, aux praticiens entretenant des relations d'affaires avec des Etats étrangers, et aux universitaires.
