Asset Freezing at the International Criminal Court and the United Nations Security Council
The International Criminal Court (ICC) and the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) are both empowered to request States to freeze individuals? assets, the former in pursuit of its objective to bring an end to impunity for grave crimes and the latter in furtherance of its responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security. Regardless of duration, freezing individuals? assets infringes on their rights. But the longer assets are frozen, the more likely and/or more severe these infringements become. Asset freezing measures executed at the behest of the two bodies are rarely short in duration, with ICC-requested measures capable of enduring from the issuance of a warrant of arrest until the accused person is acquitted or convicted and UNSC-ordered freezes continuing until the body no longer needs to act to maintain or restore international peace and security. The focus of this book rests on the two bodies? exercise of their asset freezing powers, with a particular emphasis on the legal protections available to those individuals at the receiving end of the measures at the disposal of the ICC and the UNSC, respectively.0.
Netherlands Yearbook of International Law 2019
This volume of the Netherlands Yearbook of International Law (NYIL) is the fiftieth in the Series, which means that the NYIL has now been with us for half a century. The editors decided not to let this moment go by unnoticed, but to devote this year’s edition to an analysis of the phenomenon of yearbooks in international law. Once the decision was made that this would be the subject of this year’s NYIL, the editors asked themselves a number of questions. For instance: Not many academic disciplines have yearbooks, so what is the reason we do? What is the added value of having a yearbook alongside the abundance of international law journals, regular monographs and edited volumes that are p...
Animals in the International Law of Armed Conflict
Animals are the unknown victims of armed conflicts. Wildlife populations usually decline during warfare, with disastrous repercussions on the food chain, on fragile ecosystems and precarious habitats. Belligerents take advantage of the chaos of war for poaching and trafficking of animal products. Livestock, companion, and zoo animals, highly dependent on human care, are direct victims of hostilities. The book is the first legal analysis of these issues. It maps the framework of international humanitarian law, examining which and how the concepts, principles, and rationales can be applied and adapted for a better protection of animals. The contributions inter alia discuss precautions for animal civilians, problems of animal combatants and prisoners, a specific status for veterinarian personnel, the recognition of biodiversity hotspots as specially protected zones, and the potential of enforcement mechanisms. The concluding chapter draws together novel interpretations and reform proposals.

The International Criminal Court in Its Third Decade
This volume examines lessons learned in over two decades of ICC practice. It discusses macro issues, such as universality, selectivity, new technologies, complementarity, victims and challenges in the life cycle of cases, as well as ways to re-think the ICC regime in light of the Independent Expert Review, aggression against Ukraine, and novel global challenges.
The Codification of Criminal Law
This volume contributes to the codification debate by bringing together research articles which compare and contrast the experience of countries which have a criminal code with those operating a case law system. Whereas wholesale codification is a much more accepted phenomenon in the continental law traditions, simplistic transplants from one legal tradition can result in systemic frictions and other anomalies which may offend domestic culture. This collection is an invaluable reference tool which supports the discussion over codification and promotes better understanding across the common law/civil law divide.
The Engagement of Domestic Courts with International Law
The relationship between domestic courts and international law is usually defined by the frameworks of monism and dualism. The Engagement of Domestic Courts with International Law advances and develops a new paradigm for describing, assessing, and understanding the role of domestic courts in the international legal order. Two trends are examined in parallel in this volume. The traditional dividing lines between national and international law norms and institutions have become increasingly blurred. However, the practice of domestic courts can less and less be understood by reference to a formal approach that dictates how national legal orders receive international law. The solutions that cour...
