The Rohingya, Justice and International Law
Written by an international judge, professor and former ambassador with decades of experience in the field, this is an incisive and highly readable book about international law as well as realpolitik in bilateral and multilateral diplomacy in the quest for justice by victims of serious human rights violations amounting to grave crimes of international concern. Focusing on the plight of the ethnic and religious group of persons called the ‘Rohingya’, normally residing in Myanmar, as the case study, the book elaborates the complex legal technicalities and impediments in international courts and foreign domestic criminal courts exercising ‘universal jurisdiction’ in relation to acts amo...
Command Responsibility and Its Applicability to Civilian Superiors
Article 28 of the Rome Statute explicitly provides that the command responsibility doctrine may be applied to both 'commanders and other superiors', and sets out separate criteria for the two categories of superiors. The question arises how the doctrine should be applied by the ICC and by other international courts and tribunals. Up until now, the doctrine has been applied to both military and civilian superiors without a distinctive provision. Maria L. Nybondas examines the applicability of the command responsibility doctrine to civilian superiors, taking as a point of departure the origin of the doctrine and the unique position of the commander. An analysis of cases against civilian leaders identifies the challenges that prosecutors and judges face in these cases. The book provides an assessment of the hurdles in the application of the doctrine, and offers a solution which is based on respect for the purpose of the doctrine.
Command Responsibility
Command Responsibility ist das völkerstrafrechtliche Konzept, mit dem der militärische Vorgesetzte für Verletzungen des Völkerstrafrechts durch ihm unterstellte Soldaten verantwortlich gemacht werden kann. Im Zuge der Aufarbeitung des Zweiten Weltkriegs entwickelt, entspannen sich um Command Responsibility immer neue intensive Debatten, welche die Akzeptanz - oder Ablehnung - des Völkerstrafrechts durch die deutsche Öffentlichkeit widerspiegelten. In fünf Fallstudien untersucht die vorliegende Studie anhand dieser öffentlichen Debatten den Stellenwert des Völkerstrafrechts in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland von den Nürnberger Prozessen bis in die jüngste Gegenwart.
Military Operations and the Notion of Control Under International Law
This book is a tribute to the work of Professor Terry Gill, offered to him by friends and colleagues who are also academics and/or practitioners in the field of International Law of Military Operations (ILMO). ILMO is a distinct sub-discipline within public international law and domestic public law, covering all domains of military operations: land, sea, air and (cyber)space. As such, ILMO includes elements of other branches of public international law, such as international humanitarian law, human rights law, the law on the use of force, the law of the sea, the law of State responsibility, arms control law and the law of international organisations. Importantly, as a hybrid field of law, IL...
Derecho internacional humanitario tomo V
La creación de un grupo de investigación de derecho internacional humanitario supone un doble reto. Por un lado, la dificultad de recoger las diferentes visiones con respecto al papel del Estado en escenarios de conflicto armado. Por el otro, la consciencia de que la búsqueda de teorizaciones alrededor del conflicto armado se cimienta sobre las pérdidas y los profundos dolores de las víctimas. Este grupo de investigación, conformado por Édgar Solano González, Manuela Losada Chavarro, María Camila Medina García y María Alejandra Osorio Alvis, ha podido asumir ese reto con el apoyo incondicional del doctor Humberto Sierra Porto, director del Departamento de Derecho Constitucional de la Universidad Externado de Colombia. Esta obra colectiva es el resultado del interés de la comunidad académica y jurídica, que de manera desinteresada aceptó nuestro llamado a construir Estado desde la perspectiva teórica del conflicto armado. Gracias a las autoras y los autores que participaron en este libro podemos entregar un producto que espera fortalecer la dogmática del derecho internacional humanitario en Colombia y Latinoamérica.

Corporate Responsibility Under the Alien Tort Statute
The Alien Tort Statute (also referred to as the Alien Tort Claims Act) is a US statute that provides a cause of action for violations of international law. While originally used against former dictators and military officials who fled to the U.S. after the respective governments in their home countries have been removed, human rights activists are now targeting transnational corporations or multinational enterprises for human rights violations in connection with their investments made outside the United States. This book examines and analyzes corporate liability under the Alien Tort Statute.
