This book represents a comprehensive contemporary view of the current, hot, and controversial issues revolving around nuclear energy. It involves issues of international/national security where realpolitik, in terms of power politics, remain key features in State relations. States, through international law and cooperation, managed to put in place a nuclear energy management regime with the Non-Proliferation Treaty as its main pillar. The book analyzes the role of international law in this highly sensitive issue, with referral to specific cases of proliferation and the current standings in the control of nuclear energy. (Series: International Law and International Relations / Volkerrecht und internationale Beziehungen - Vol. 9) [Subject: International Affairs, Security Studies, Politics, Energy Studies, International Law]
Bewaffnete Eingriffe in innerstaatliche Konflikte sind in den letzten Jahren immer wieder als Ultima Ratio genannt worden, um der internationalen Schutzverantwortung oder dem Recht auf Selbstverteidigung nachzukommen. Sie stehen jedenfalls im Spannungsfeld zwischen dem prinzipiellen Gewaltverbot und aktuellen Realitäten, die ihren Ausdruck im Konzept der Responsibility to Protect (R2P) finden. AutorInnen aus unterschiedlichen wissenschaftlichen Richtungen und Ländern setzen sich mit diesen und anderen Fragen auseinander und versuchen die Thematik aus mehreren Perspektiven und Blickwinkeln zu diskutieren.

Peter Zickenheiner geht in seiner Dissertation der Frage nach, in welchen Fallgestaltungen und anhand welcher Kriterien von einem Missbrauch des Vetorechts gesprochen werden kann. Ziel ist es, neue Vetofallgruppen und Kriterien herauszuarbeiten, die die Feststellung eines Vetomissbrauchs ermöglichen und in diesem Bereich neue Ansätze aufzuzeigen. Er belegt im Ergebnis, dass das Vetorecht rechtlichen Beschränkungen unterliegt, in der Praxis allerdings Hindernisse tatsächlicher Natur bestehen. Zur Eindämmung des Vetomissbrauchs wird die Verabschiedung einer Resolution durch die UN-Generalversammlung vorgeschlagen.
Künstliche Intelligenz stellt nach dem Philosophen Nick Bostrom das größte existentielle Risiko und eine Bedrohung für alle Menschen dar und erfordert somit ein Handeln auf internationaler Ebene. Das führt aus rechtswissenschaftlicher Perspektive zu der Frage, ob und gegebenenfalls inwieweit das Völkerrecht gegenwärtig bereits Regelungen zum Schutz der Menschheit vor existentiellen Risiken bereithält. Es zeigt sich, dass sich ein Existenzrecht der Menschheit ableiten lässt, aufgrund dessen die Staaten zum Schutz der Existenz der Menschheit verpflichtet sind.
