Parámetros de la interpretación constitucional desde la teoría contemporánea del derecho
Este texto aborda la presencia de la moral en el derecho, a fin de descubrir o identificar cuáles son los parámetros que se imponen a la interpretación desde los lineamientos de las escuelas de pensamiento contemporáneas del derecho y en el contexto del Estado constitucional, social, democrático y de derecho. En este sentido, el proceso investigativo que acompañó esta extensa monografía y que revisitó las tradiciones del derecho natural y del derecho positivo, así como algunos de los enfoques que hoy integran el pensamiento pospositivista o axiológico, permitió demostrar que, bajo la lógica constitucional y de acuerdo con la práctica jurisdiccional comparada actual, existe un universo de insumos que permiten al operador jurídico interpretar, razonar y aplicar el derecho según el lugar que ocupe la moral en el discurso jurídico-constitucional.
International Criminal Law Practitioner Library
A highly relevant and timely work focusing on the core international crimes and their interaction with the forms of responsibility.
Property and Community
Property and Community fills a major gap in the legal literature on property and its relationship to community. The essays included differ from past discussions, including those provided by law-and-economics, by providing richer accounts of community. By and large, prior discussions by property theorists treat communities as agglomerations of individuals and eschew substantive accounts of justice, favoring what Charles Taylor has called “procedural” conceptions. These perspectives on ownership obscure the possibility that the “community” might have a moral status that differs from neighboring owners or from non-owning individuals. This book examines a variety of social practices that...
Humanity's Law
Teitel presents an analysis of a recent change in international human-rights law. Offering examples from around the world she argues that post-Cold War history has witnessed a key transformation: the normative emphasis of the international legal order has been shifting from state security to human security.
Animals and War
Animals and War is the first collection of essays to study its topic. Using sociology, history, anthropology, and cultural studies, it analyzes a wide range of phenomena and exposes the often paradoxical contours of human-animal relationships.

The third edition of this work sets out a comprehensive and analytical manual of international humanitarian law, accompanied by case analysis and extensive explanatory commentary by a team of distinguished and internationally renowned experts.
Child Soldiers in International Law
Can the use of children as soldiers be effectively regulated at an international level? 'Child soldiers in international law' examines how international law has developed to deal with this problematic and emotive issue. Happold looks at the rules restricting the recruitment of children into armed forces - rules which, though important, are often flouted - but also at the wider legal issues arising from child soldiering: to what extent can child soldiers be held criminally liable for their conduct? How should they be treated when captured? How are states obliged to demobilise and reintegrate them into their societies? It also identifies a move away towards enforcement, through the prosecution of those who recruit child soldiers, and proposals for Security Council sanctions against governments and groups who breach their international obligations by using children in armed conflicts. This study will be essential reading for those concerned with public international law, human rights, and the United Nations and peacekeeping.
The Oxford Handbook of International Law in Armed Conflict
Written by a team of distinguished and internationally renowned experts, this Oxford Handbook gives an analytical overview of international law as it applies in armed conflicts. The Handbook draws on international humanitarian law, human rights law, and the law of neutrality to provide a comprehensive picture of the status of law in war.
International Humanitarian Law: Theory, Practice, Context
This book is about international humanitarian law or - as it is also called - the "law of armed conflict"or "law of war". It emerged from a series of lectures delivered at the Hague Academy of International Law. The author deals with war and the means by which international law attempts to contain and, as it were, "humanize" organized violence. But the ambitions of the author go beyond the battlefield. The book explores the many complex ways in which law functions to regulate warfare, in theory and practice. The author looks into treaties and other sources of international law, but he also tries to step outside the boundaries of "black-letter law"to deal broadly with such matters as the influence of culture in shaping the norms on war, the institutions that develop those norms and work for their universal acceptance, the networks of humanitarian actors in this area and the legal procedures in which the law of war and its various institutions are embedded. The book demonstrates that even wars are, in various ways, conducted in "the shadow of the law".
The New Global Law
The dislocations of the worldwide economic crisis, the necessity of a system of global justice to address crimes against humanity, and the notorious 'democratic deficit' of international institutions highlight the need for an innovative and truly global legal system, one that permits humanity to re-order itself according to acknowledged global needs and evolving consciousness. A new global law will constitute, by itself, a genuine legal order and will not be limited to a handful of moral principles that attempt to guide the conduct of the world's peoples. If the law of nations served the hegemonic interests of Ancient Rome, and international law served those of the European nation-state, then a new global law will contribute to the common good of all humanity and, ideally, to the development of durable world peace. This volume offers a historical-juridical foundation for the development of this new global law.
