A sound understanding of public international law is indispensable for any lawyer, whether working in an international or domestic context. It is therefore important that students have a thorough theoretical understanding of international law issues, and are able to apply the relevant international legal rules to a given set of facts, so as to arrive at a legally coherent conclusion. This practical aspect of learning international law is often neglected in favour of more theoretical aspects - which is where this book comes in. The book offers a series of hypothetical practical cases in public international law, including some of its specialised branches, such as international human rights la...
Evelyne Schmid demonstrates how violations of economic, social and cultural rights can overlap with international crimes.
In Corruption and Targeted Sanctions, Anton Moiseienko analyses the blacklisting of foreigners suspected of corruption and the prohibition of their entry into the sanctioning state from an international law perspective. The implications of such actions have been on the international agenda for years and have gained particular prominence with the adoption by the US and Canada of the so-called Magnitsky legislation in 2016. Across the Atlantic, several European states followed suit. The proliferation of anti-corruption entry sanctions has prompted a reappraisal of applicable human rights safeguards, along with issues of respect for official immunities and state sovereignty. On the basis of a comprehensive review of relevant law and policy, Anton Moiseienko identifies how targeted sanctions can ensure accountability for corruption while respecting international law.
Questions the doctrinal construction of environmental law and looks for innovative legal approaches to ecological sustainability.
Das Eherecht der römisch-katholischen Kirche beinhaltet eine Regelung, die es beischlafsunfähigen Menschen verunmöglicht, eine kirchliche Ehe einzugehen. Es tangiert ein Menschenrecht, das dadurch nicht ausgeübt werden kann. Die kirchliche Rechtsordnung wird mit den im staatlichen Recht der Schweiz geltenden Normen konfrontiert, die das Menschenrecht auf Ehe und das Verbot der Diskriminierung aufgrund einer Behinderung enthalten (BV, BehiG, BRK). Kirchenrechtliche und religionsverfassungsrechtliche Lösungsansätze, um die Diskriminierung zu beheben, werden diskutiert.
'Human laws must be reformulated to keep human activities in harmony with the unchanging and universal laws of nature.' This 1987 statement by the World Commission on Environment and Development has never been more relevant and urgent than it is today. Despite the many legal responses to various environmental problems, more greenhouse gases than ever before are being released into the atmosphere, biological diversity is rapidly declining and fish stocks in the oceans are dwindling. This book challenges the doctrinal construction of environmental law and presents an innovative legal approach to ecological sustainability: a rule of law for nature which guides and transcends ordinary written laws and extends fundamental principles of respect, integrity and legal security to the non-human world.
