Prosecuting Maritime Piracy
This book addresses maritime piracy by focusing on the unique and fascinating issues arising in the course of domestic piracy prosecutions, from the pursuit and apprehension of pirates to their trial and imprisonment. It examines novel matters not addressed in other published works, such as the challenges in preserving and presenting evidence in piracy trials, the rights of pirate defendants, and contending with alleged pirates who are juveniles. A more thorough understanding of modern piracy trials and the precedent they have established is critical to scholars, practitioners, and the broader community interested in counter-piracy efforts, as these prosecutions are likely to be the primary judicial mechanism to contend with pirate activity going forward.
The Impact of Emerging Technologies on the Law of Armed Conflict
This book explores a number of legal issued raised by the introduction of emerging technologies--such as autonomous weapons, artificial intelligence, and cyber capabilities--on the modern battlefield. Is the law as it exists today capable of regulating these new weapons? How might the law be changed to address these new and emerging capabilities? This book will shape the debate on how the law of armed conflict should be changed, or could be adapted, to address the challenges posed by the use of emerging technologies in modern warfare.
Law-Making and Legitimacy in International Humanitarian Law
International Humanitarian Law (IHL) is in a state of some turbulence, as a result of, among other things, non-international armed conflicts, terrorist threats and the rise of new technologies. This incisive book observes that while states appear to be reluctant to act as agents of change, informal methods of law-making are flourishing. Illustrating that not only courts, but various non-state actors, push for legal developments, this timely work offers an insight into the causes of this somewhat ambivalent state of IHL by focusing attention on both the legitimacy of law-making processes and the actors involved.
