A Selective Approach to Establishing a Human Rights Mechanism in Southeast Asia
This book proposes a selective approach for states with more advanced human rights protection to establish a human rights court for Southeast Asia. It argues the inclusive approach currently employed by ASEAN to set up a human rights body covering all member states cannot produce a strong regional human rights mechanism. The mosaic of Southeast Asia reveals great diversity and high complexity in political regimes, human rights practice and participation by regional states in the global legal human rights framework. Cooperation among ASEAN members to protect and promote human rights remains limited. The time-honored principle of non-interference and the “ASEAN Way” still predominate in re...

Le plurilinguisme au Sénégal
Le Sénégal présente une situation plurilingue complexe et évolutive, où les relations entre langues et identités sont en pleine évolution et témoignent des changements sociaux en cours. Les recherches menées par les auteurs depuis les années 1980, tant à Dakar qu'à Ziguinchor, ont permis de reconsidérer la relation langue/identité de groupe dans des espaces urbains et sociaux en cours de transformation. Les emprunts, mélanges et alternances de codes sont des outils de la variation, et leur usage, plus ou moins conséquent, génère d'autres formes de " langues " au sein de nouveaux groupes. La prééminence du wolof urbain dans les configurations décrites est une constante de...

Judges and the Making of International Criminal Law
In Judges and the Making of International Criminal Law Joseph Powderly explores the role of judicial creativity in the progressive development of international criminal law. This wide-ranging work unpacks the nature and contours of the international criminal judicial function. Employing empirical, theoretical, and doctrinal methodologies, it interrogates the profile of the international criminal bench, judicial ethics, and the interpretative techniques that judges have utilized in their efforts to progressively develop international criminal law. Drawing on the work of Hersch Lauterpacht, it proposes a conception of the international criminal judicial function that places judicial creativity at its very heart. In doing so it argues that international criminal judges have a central role to play in ensuring that modern international criminal law continues to adapt to a volatile global environment, where accountability for crimes that shock the conscience of humanity is as much needed as at any moment in recent history.
The Métis of Senegal
The Métis of Senegal is a history of politics and society among an influential group of mixed-race people who settled in coastal Africa under French colonialism. Hilary Jones describes how the métis carved out a niche as middleman traders for European merchants. As the colonial presence spread, the métis entered into politics and began to assert their position as local elites and power brokers against French rule. Many of the descendants of these traders continue to wield influence in contemporary Senegal. Jones's nuanced portrait of métis ascendency examines the influence of family connections, marriage negotiations, and inheritance laws from both male and female perspectives.
