This timely book explores the extent to which national security has affected the intersection between human rights and the exercise of state power. It examines how liberal democracies, long viewed as the proponents and protectors of human rights, have transformed their use of human rights on the global stage, externalizing their own internal agendas.
In Exclusion from Protection as a Refugee, Yao Li analyses Article 1F of the 1951 Refugee Convention. She argues that the exclusion clause is a quasi-punitive provision and must therefore be interpreted with due regard to (International) Criminal Law. Having developed an interpretation approach to consider external legal notions, Li provides a solution for all the relevant issues in the context of Article 1F, based on a “harmonizing interpretation”. The study therefore not only comprehensively examines the exclusion clause at the intersection of International Refugee Law and International Criminal Law, but also contributes to anti-fragmentation efforts in International Law.
Książka dotyczy kwestii, która budzi ogromne kontrowersje i wątpliwości natury prawnej. (…) Problematyka wykorzystywania sztucznej inteligencji w działaniach wojennych podejmowana jest też w licznych czasopismach poświęconych obronności, wojsku, bezpieczeństwu itp. Sztuczna inteligencja na wojnie to monografia z zakresu prawa, ale autorka wiele miejsca poświęca także kwestiom technicznym i dostarcza odpowiedniej wiedzy na ten temat (…). Za niezwykle cenne uważam zawarte w pracy rozważania definicyjne. Pokazują one, że autorka przemyślała omawiane zagadnienia, że terminy, których używa nie są przypadkowe. Monografia winna zainteresować nie tylko prawników, ale i etyków, politologów, socjologów, dziennikarzy. Z recenzji wydawniczej dr hab. prof. UW Patrycji Grzebyk
Since the end of the Cold War, states have become increasingly engaged in the suppression of transnational organised crime.

Synthesizing the various sources of law that form this area of growing academic and practical importance, International Law and Transnational Organised Crime provides readers with a thorough understanding of the key concepts and legal instruments in international law governing transnational organised crime. The volume analyses transnational organised crime in consideration of the most relevant subareas of international law, such as international human rights and the law of armed conflict. Written by internationally recognized scholars in international and criminal law as well as respected high-level practitioners, this book is a useful tool for lawyers, public agents, and academics seeking straightforward and comprehensive access to a complex and significant topic.
