Nuclear Non-Proliferation in International Law - Volume I
The volume discusses the legal interpretation and implementation of the three pillars of the Treaty of the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, 1968, regarding the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons; the right to develop research, production and use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes; and issues relating to nuclear disarmament. It examines the status of international law regarding nuclear capacity, considering competing legal approaches to the development of nuclear technology, non-proliferation, disarmament and regulating nuclear weapons within a contemporary international context.
Global Risks
Over the last decades and especially in the new millennium, global society is increasingly facing new risks and challenges on a global scale, demanding global solutions. With their articles on global risks, the authors have contributed to a topic that suffers from severe under-specification. Their contributions can be summoned up under three headings: Identification and Assessment, Normative Reflections and Alternative Modes of Governance. Each of the assembled articles shows, from very different academic perspectives, how international actors - states as well as regional and international organisations - deal with global risks that in today's globalised world affect not only one state or region, but the international community as a whole.
Promoting Peace Through International Law
Inspired by the Grotian tradition in international law of the 'idea of peace', 'Promoting Peace through International Law' aims to explain how peace may be achieved by utilising the existing international and national normative and institutional legal frameworks. It explores how negative and positive dimensions of peace are interrelated.
Cluster Munitions and International Law
This book offers a comprehensive argument for why pre-existing international law on cluster munitions was inadequate to deal with the full scope of humanitarian consequences associated with their use. The book undertakes an interdisciplinary legal analysis of restraints and prohibitions on the use of cluster munitions under international humanitarian law, human rights law, and international criminal law, as well as in relation to the recently adopted Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM). The book goes on to offer an in-depth substantive and procedural analysis of the negotiations which led to the 2008 CCM, in part based on the author’s experiences as an adviser to Cluster Munitions Coalition-Austria. Cluster Munitions and International Law is essential reading for practitioners and scholars of International Law, including International Humanitarian, Human Rights, International Criminal or Disarmament Law and anyone interested in legal and humanitarian perspectives on cluster munitions legislation and policy. It is unique in bringing a practitioner’s perspective to a scholarly work.
Research Handbook on International Law and Peace
Peace is an elusive concept, especially within the field of international law, varying according to historical era and between contextual applications within different cultures, institutions, societies, and academic traditions. This Research Handbook responds to the gap created by the neglect of peace in international law scholarship. Explaining the normative evolution of peace from the principles of peaceful co-existence to the UN declaration on the right to peace, this Research Handbook calls for the fortification of international institutions to facilitate the pursuit of sustainable peace as a public good.

Die Europäische Union und die Bekämpfung der Verbreitung von Massenvernichtungswaffen
Die Verbreitung von Massenvernichtungswaffen steht seit vielen Jahren im Blickpunkt des internationalen sicherheitspolitischen Geschehens. Im Vergleich mit anderen Gefahren stellt sie die «potenziell größte Bedrohung» für die Sicherheit dar. Um diese Gefahr schnellstmöglich zu bewältigen, hat die Europäische Union im Dezember 2003 im Rahmen der Gemeinsamen Außen- und Sicherheitspolitik eine eigene Strategie zur Bekämpfung der Verbreitung von Massenvernichtungswaffen angenommen. Dieser Band analysiert Theorie und Praxis der Nichtverbreitungsstrategie und verdeutlicht, dass es der EU gelungen ist, eine eigenständige Politik für die kommenden Jahre zu formulieren. Mit der Umsetzung der Nichtverbreitungsstrategie ist die EU ein wichtiger Akteur im weltweiten Kampf gegen die Verbreitung von Massenvernichtungswaffen sowie den Terrorismus mit diesen Waffen geworden.
Routledge Handbook of the Law of Armed Conflict
The law of armed conflict is a key element of the global legal order yet it finds itself in a state of flux created by the changing nature of warfare and the influences of other branches of international law. The Routledge Handbook of the Law of Armed Conflict provides a unique perspective on the field covering all the key aspects of the law as well as identifying developing and often contentious areas of interest. The handbook will feature original pieces by international experts in the field, including academics, staff of relevant NGOs and (former) members of the armed forces. Made up of six parts in order to offer a comprehensive overview of the field, the structure of the handbook is as ...
