Abstract

A concise account of international law by an experienced practitioner, this book explains how states and international organisations, especially the United Nations, make and use international law. The nature of international law and its fundamental concepts and principles are described. The difference and relationship between various areas of international law which are often misunderstood (such as diplomatic and state immunity, and human rights and international humanitarian law) are clearly explained. The essence of new specialist areas of international law, relating to the environment, human rights and terrorism are discussed. Aust's clear and accessible style makes the subject understandable to non-international lawyers, non-lawyers and students. Abundant references are provided to sources and other materials, including authoritative and useful websites.

Abstract

This new edition of Sornarajah's book, available for the first time in paperback, surveys the international law developed to protect foreign investment by multinational corporations. The area has always been one of controversy due to the different political and economic conflicts that exist in the field. The book assesses the role of multinational corporations in making foreign investments, and considers the ways in which misconduct on the part of such corporations in host states could be controlled. Sornarajah focuses on the protection of foreign investment and the problems associated with such protection. He explores treaty-based methods, and examines several bilateral and regional investment treaties. The failure to agree on a multilateral treaty system and the inability to incorporate a discipline on investment within the WTO are also considered. He takes account not only of the law, but also of the relevant literature in economics, political science and other associated disciplines.

Abstract

Vreemdelingen die in ons land asiel zoeken, hebben elk hun voorgeschiedenis en hun redenen om een verleden achter te laten. Als asielzoekers moeten ze hun weg trachten te vinden tussen de procedures, regels en wetten waarin het asielbeleid is gegoten. In dit rapport wordt het asielbeleid belicht vanuit het perspectief van "de mens achter de asielzoeker". Om een beeld te krijgen van de gevolgen van het beleid op het leven en welzijn van asielzoekers worden "bevoorrechte getuigen" aan het woord gelaten die beroepshalve met de beleidsimpact op menselijk vlak worden geconfronteerd. Het rapport is in de eerste plaats een bundeling van hun meningen en kritieken. Het onthult echter ook een aantal beleidskeuzes die niet rijmen met een humaan asielbeleid. Inhoudsopgave : Inleiding (Doelstelling van de studie - Methode) - De "linkerbladzijde": overzicht van maatregelen met een belangrijke impact op het leven en welzijn van asielzoekers - De "rechterbladzijde": beschrijving van de menselijke impact van de vermelde maatregelen (De asielprocedure - Opvang - Einde van de procedure) - Besluit (Samenvatting - Leemtes in het asielbeleid en algemene beleidsaanbevelingen - Epiloog).

Abstract

De auteurs stelden een ethisch, democratisch en juridisch deficit vast in het huidige beleid, dat bijzonder sterk op repressie gericht is, tegen de instroom van nieuwe asielzoekers. Een dergelijk beleid kan geen menselijke oplossing bieden voor de opvang. Gepoogd wordt de contexten van migratie en asiel aan te duiden en te verhelderen vanuit een andere visie, de visie 'van onderuit', van de asielzoeker zelf.

Abstract

International financial relations have become increasingly important for the development of global and national economies. At present these relations are primarily governed by market forces, with little regulatory interference at the international level. In the light of numerous financial crises, this abstinence must be seriously questioned. Starting with an analysis of the regulatory problems at the international level, with only minimal powers entrusted to international organisations, this book develops various possibilities for reform. On the basis of an historical analysis, the book first adopts a comparative approach to national attempts to regulate international financial markets, then outlines the potential of relevant institutions and finally develops a policy perspective. It seeks to provide a framework for analysing options for the regulation of international financial markets from a public international law and comparative law perspective.

Abstract

African regional trade integration has grown exponentially in the last decade. This book is the first comprehensive analysis of the legal framework within which it is being pursued. It will fill a huge knowledge gap and serve as an invaluable teaching and research tool for policy makers in the public and private sectors, teachers, researchers and students of African trade and beyond. The author argues that African Regional Trade Agreements (RTAs) are best understood as flexible legal regimes particularly given their commitment to variable geometry and multiple memberships. He analyzes the progress made toward trade liberalization in each region, how the RTAs are financed, their trade remedy and judicial regimes, and how well they measure up to Article XXIV of GATT. The book also covers monetary unions as well as intra-African regional integration, and examines free trade agreements with non-African regions including the Economic Partnership Agreements with the European Union.

Abstract

Principles play a crucial role in any dispute settlement system, and the World Trade Organization (WTO) is no exception. However, WTO Panels and the Appellate Body have been too timid in using principles, sometimes avoiding their use when appropriate and at other times using them without fully acknowledging that they are doing so. Perhaps more worryingly, these bodies often fail to delve deeply enough into principles. They tend to overlook key questions such as the legal basis for using a given principle, whether the principle is being used in an interpretative manner or as applicable law and the meaning of the principle in public international law. This book establishes a framework for addressing these questions. The use of such a framework should allay fears and misconceptions about the use of principles and ensure that they are used in a justifiable manner, improving the quality of dispute settlement in the WTO.
