Abstract

Chikungunya, dengue, fièvre catarrhale ovine… La forte recrudescence au cours de ces dernières années de maladies transmises par des insectes vecteurs constitue aujourd’hui une préoccupation majeure de santé publique, dans ses composantes humaine et animale. La « lutte antivectorielle » a pour objectifs de minimiser les risques d’endémisation ou d’épidémisation, de diminuer la transmission d’agents pathogènes par des vecteurs et de gérer les épidémies dans un cadre stratégique formalisé. Cinq ministères français ont demandé en 2008 à l’Institut de recherche pour le développement (IRD) de produire un état des lieux complet et une analyse pluridisciplinaire des dispositifs de lutte antivectorielle en métropole et dans les régions ultra-marines. Le cadre de la gouvernance et la répartition des compétences, les conditions générales de mise en œuvre de la lutte antivectorielle, les pratiques et modalités d’évaluation de la lutte, les outils et leviers d’anticipation ont ainsi été examinés par un collège d’experts qui en restitue ici le bilan détaillé. Au-delà, cette expertise collégiale met en lumière les évolutions indispensables que doit connaître ce domaine sensible et livre des recommandations en vue d’une refondation des politiques de lutte. Les défis à relever et les stratégies à concevoir pour le contrôle des risques sont d’autant plus complexes que les changements globaux (climatiques, environnementaux, sociétaux) influencent considérablement les systèmes vectoriels. Chikungunya, dengue, bluetongue disease and others The strong resurgence of insect-vector transmitted diseases over recent years has become a major public health concern, in both human and veterinary spheres. Vector control has the objective of bringing down to a minimum the risks of endemization or epidemization, reducing pathogen transmission by vectors and managing epidemics in a clearly formulated strategic framework. In 2008 five French ministries commissioned the Institut de recherche pour…

Abstract

In the late 20th century, it has become widely accepted that States need to cooperate in order to pursue effectively their interests within the increasingly interdependent world order. At the same time, the principle of sovereignty is still often invoked as a claim for independence and a justification for non-cooperation. This book goes beyond that traditional understanding to develop a new theory which holds that cooperation between States is not an independent principle supplementing State sovereignty or even a counterweight to State sovereignty. Rather, cooperation should be conceived an element of the very notion of sovereignty itself. Sovereignty is not a negative principle meaning merely State independence and freedom, but it also inherently includes a positive element which stresses a State's innate membership in the international community and its authority, its responsibility, its duty to participate actively in that community. In short, sovereignty not only means independence, it also means a responsibility to cooperate. The first part of the book traces the history of the principle of sovereignty from the theories of Grotius and Francisco de Vitoria to the modern understanding of the principle in the light of the United Nations system. The second part of the book poses challenges to the traditional concept of sovereignty in the light of the 20th century interdependence, and the third part goes on to formulate a new theory which takes into account the principles of customary law and treaty law. The conclusions drawn on by the author are refreshing, but may also be controversial, and this book will most definitely contribute to the discussion and development of the principle of sovereignty in international law.
