Duas importantes contribuições de amigos da Casa inauguram esses Cadernos. O Embaixador Sérgio Duarte realiza um panorama da situação das armas de destruição em massa no que tange à sua normativa no direito internacional e no direito internacional humanitário, além de uma leitura da negociação para o desarmamento somente possível de ser realizada por alguém que presenciou diversos momentos dessas tratativas e que possui grande esperança em seu sucesso. Já o Professor Paulo Potiara de Alcântara Veloso demonstra, em estudo das cortes superiores brasileiras, como a resistência ao direito internacional tem se manifestado em política judiciária, por meio de uma utilização ob...
At specific moments in the history of Africa, Europe, and Latin America, each region decided to create supranational jurisdictions to protect human rights. These are, in chronological order, the European Court of Human Rights, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, and the African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights. While each has been the subject of important, dedicated monographs, no major study has analysed both the institutional and jurisprudential issues of all three regional systems. The 3 Regional Human Rights Courts in Context: Justice That Cannot Be Taken for Granted is the first book to offer a comprehensive comparison of the three systems. Rather than merely juxtaposing analogo...

The work of uniting churches is slow, challenging, and multifaceted; and it changes in each generation and location. In this book, Josiah Baker studies the efforts of believers towards reconciliation as something significant for how we understand the church. He offers a theology for laborers, people for whom unity is not only an idea but a calling and sure hope. A Visible Unity is a study in systematic theology on the relation of ecumenical methodology to ecclesiological convergence, how acting together results in the churches being together. Ecumenical work informs ecclesiology because it involves the actions of Christians together in accordance with their shared views of the church. Whenev...
A regulação internacional dos investimentos estrangeiros decorre de um processo histórico de internacionalização de sua proteção, a partir de práticas e normas aplicadas desde as grandes navegações, incluindo os períodos do colonialismo e imperialismo, até o contexto contemporâneo pós-2ª Guerra Mundial, caracterizando o Direito Internacional do Investimento. As antigas metrópoles europeias, Estados Unidos e o Japão, constituem-se como as tradicionais economias exportadoras de capital enquanto as nações que se tornaram independentes nos séculos XIX, na América Latina, e XX, África e Ásia, qualificam-se como economias importadoras de capital. O século XXI, por sua vez, ...

O Livro aborda o recente Tratado sobre a Proibição de Armas Nucleares (TPAN). Aprovado na Assembleia Geral das Nações Unidas em 2017 e, em vigor desde 2021, trata-se do primeiro tratado internacional a estabelecer uma base normativa para a proibição completa de armas nucleares e destruição dos arsenais existentes com pretensão de alcance universal. Com importantes inovações em seu texto, foi negociado a partir de uma abordagem humanitária, que considera os efeitos catastróficos desta espécie de arma de destruição em massa, e contou com intensa participação de atores da sociedade civil internacional. Primando por uma abordagem interdisciplinar entre as Relações Internacionais e o Direito Internacional Público, este Livro busca evidenciar as inovações do Tratado, bem como discutir quais desafios e possibilidades estão postos para a sua efetiva implementação e universalização.
This book is a comprehensive reference guide for team physicians to manage common or rare clinical issues that may occur on the sidelines and field of play in recreational, professional or elite sports. Musculoskeletal injuries and health-related clinical issues that may occur on the field of play can directly impact the ability of athletes to safely participate in sport. Indeed, the ability to urgently respond to the myriad of health-related issues is critical during both sideline and event coverage. The variety of challenges may be more prevalent according to the type of sport, the athletes' physical condition, the field of play, the level of competition, as well as the environmental conditions. Initial assessment, proper investigation of athletes' clinical complaints and findings, followed by a well-practiced intervention protocol play an essential role in optimizing the outcome of each case. Written by an international team of experts, and published in partnership with ISAKOS, this book is an excellent source of knowledge for sports physicians, orthopedists and physiotherapists alike.
The Atlantic Forest is one of the 36 hotspots for biodiversity conservation worldwide. It is a unique, large biome (more than 3000 km in latitude; 2500 in longitude), marked by high biodiversity, high degree of endemic species and, at the same time, extremely threatened. Approximately 70% of the Brazilian population lives in the area of this biome, which makes the conflict between biodiversity conservation and the sustainability of the human population a relevant issue. This book aims to cover: 1) the historical characterization and geographic variation of the biome; 2) the distribution of the diversity of some relevant taxa; 3) the main threats to biodiversity, and 4) possible opportunities to ensure the biodiversity conservation, and the economic and social sustainability. Also, it is hoped that this book can be useful for those involved in the development of public policies aimed at the conservation of this important global biome.
This book addresses current developments concerning the interpretation of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) on the part of international courts and tribunals. It does so from different perspectives, by focusing on the jurisprudence of international and regional bodies, such as the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS), the European Court of Justice (ECJ) and the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), as well as international arbitral tribunals and the World Trade Organization (WTO) Dispute Settlement Body. The various contributions offer in-depth analyses of issues ranging from the interaction between the sources of the International Law of the Sea, to various substantial, procedural and institutional aspects of the regulatory framework established by UNCLOS. The book also focuses on the reference by international courts and tribunals, in Law of the Sea cases, to both general principles and rules concerning interpretation codified in the Vienna Conventions on the Law of Treaties.
