Philanthropy, Conflict Management and International Law
This book centers on the Report of the International Commission to Inquire into the Causes and Conduct of the Balkan Wars, published in Washington in the early summer of 1914 by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. The volume was born from the conviction that the full assessment of the significance of the Carnegie Report—one of the first international non-governmental fact-finding missions with the intention to promote peace—requires a deeper exploration of the context of its birth. The authors examine how the countries involved in the wars handled the inquires of the Carnegie Commission and the role of the report in the remembrance of the wars in the respective states. Althou...
Responsibility for negation of international crimes
History is no longer the exclusive domain of historians, but is now often used as a tool for politics. It is not without reason that the term “state historical policy” has been coined, which must be a kind of aberration for those who believed that the role of history is to objectively determine the course of events. The fact is, however, that the distortion of historical facts, the concealment of crimes is now part of the “information war”. Therefore, new acts of public international law, EU law and national law are introduced in order to combat public condonation, denial or gross trivialisation of the core international crimes which are certain forms and expressions of racism and xe...
The Concept of Genocide in International Criminal Law
This book presents a review of historical and emerging legal issues that concern the interpretation of the international crime of genocide. The Polish legal expert Raphael Lemkin formulated the concept of genocide during the Nazi occupation of Europe, and it was then incorporated into the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. This volume looks at the issues that are raised both by the existing international law definition of genocide and by the possible developments that continue to emerge under international criminal law. The authors consider how the concept of genocide might be used in different contexts, and see whether the definition in the 1948 conve...
The Humanitarian Challenge
This book includes contributions from academics, practitioners and policy-makers connected with the Network on Humanitarian Action (NOHA), an international association of universities that is committed to interdisciplinary education and research on humanitarian action. Celebrating the twentieth anniversary of NOHA, this book highlights some of the most pressing issues and challenges facing humanitarian action and explores potential solutions. Drawing on theory and practice, and spanning a broad range of subject matter, the book explores the origin of key concepts such as human security, reconciliation and resilience and questions their effectiveness in the pursuit of humanitarian ends. It also charts current developments in the humanitarian system, in particular in its legal and financial frameworks. Issues relating to humanitarian stakeholders, such as the role of the media and the protection of humanitarian workers, are also addressed. The contributions are influenced by a range of disciplines, including anthropology, political science, legal studies and communications.

Dziedzictwo Krzysztofa Skubiszewskiego w polityce zagranicznej RP
Minęło 10 lat od śmierci pierwszego ministra spraw zagranicznych wolnej Polski, a zarazem zupełnie niedawno obchodziliśmy 30. rocznicę wielkiej zmiany. W 1989 roku zaczęło się odzyskiwanie przez Polskę wolności i suwerenności oraz budowanie demokratycznego państwa prawa. Istotną częścią tej transformacji była polityka zagraniczna, której ster w tym historycznym momencie został powierzony Profesorowi Krzysztofowi Skubiszewskiemu. Nikt wtedy nie sądził, że nie mogło być dla Polski lepszego wyboru. Linia Mazowieckiego−Skubiszewskiego stała się mocnym fundamentem polityki zagranicznej RP oraz jednym z filarów nowej Polski w rodzinie wolnych narodów Europy − czy szerzej − Zachodu. Książka jest próbą spojrzenia na wartość tego dziedzictwa i jego obecność w polityce zagranicznej odrodzonej Rzeczypospolitej.

Odpowiedzialność za negowanie zbrodni międzynarodowych
Historia przestała być domeną historyków. Obecnie jest często wykorzystywana jako narzędzie polityki – ukuto nawet termin „polityka historyczna”, który dla tych, którzy wierzyli, iż rolą historii jest obiektywne ustalenie przebiegu dziejów, musi stanowić swoistą aberrację. Wypaczanie faktów historycznych, tuszowanie zbrodni jest obecnie elementem „wojny informacyjnej”. Nic więc dziwnego, że wprowadzane są kolejne akty prawa międzynarodowego, unijnego i wreszcie krajowego, których celem jest zwalczanie publicznego aprobowania, negowania lub rażącego pomniejszania najpoważniejszych zbrodni międzynarodowych. Jednak państwa muszą same określić, jak rozumiej...
