Crimes against Humanity in the 21st Century
In Crimes Against Humanity in the 21st Century, Dr Robert Dubler SC and Matthew Kalyk provide a comprehensive analysis of crimes against humanity in international criminal law. The text tracks the crime from its conceptual origins in antiquity, to its emergence in customary international law at Nuremberg, to the establishment of the ‘modern definition’ at the Hague with the ICTY, ICTR and ICC, and finally to recent state practice and jurisprudence. The text sets out conclusions about the legal elements of the crime and contends that the raison d'être of the crime is located not in the inhumanity of its authors’ actions but in the extent to which its authors threaten international peace and security so as to justify international intervention. With a foreword by Geoffrey Robertson QC.
The Legal Legacy of the Special Court for Sierra Leone
Explores how the first treaty-based UN international tribunal's judges innovatively applied the law to perpetrators of international crimes in one of the worst conflicts in recent history.
Transnational Organized Crime
This timely book provides a critical consideration of one of the most pressing matters confronting global and regional strategies for suppressing transnational organized crime today: the question of the scope and rationale of States’ criminal jurisdiction over these cross-border offences. It shines a light on the complex challenges posed by transnational organized crime to international criminal law.
Purging the Odious Scourge of Atrocities
"The introductory chapter outlines the issues raised in the subsequent five chapters. It argues that current theories regarding the sources of international law lack a foundation for explaining how states can be required to assume legal obligations that transcend state consent. In making this case, the chapter critiques attempts to expand the concept of customary international law to include certain types of legal norms that form over a short period of time without necessarily reflecting widespread, consistent state practice. Rather, it provides an overview of current theories on the sources of international law and examines how international law is directly connected to the four variables that characterize the structure of the international system: the nature of the constitutive units; the organizing principles of the system; the density of interaction among the units; and the scope and depth of institutionalization within the system"--
Imperial Powers and Humanitarian Interventions
In the second half of the nineteenth century, the Zanzibar Sultanate became the focal point of European imperial and humanitarian policies, most notably Britain, France, and Germany. In fact, the Sultanate was one of the few places in the world where humanitarianism and imperialism met in the most obvious fashion. This crucial encounter was perfectly embodied by the iconic meeting of Dr. Livingstone and Henry Morton Stanley in 1871. This book challenges the common presumption that those humanitarian concerns only served to conceal vile colonial interests. It brings the repression of the East African slave trade at sea and the expansion of empires into a new light in comparing French and British archives for the first time.
People Forced to Flee
People in danger have received protection in communities beyond their own from the earliest times of recorded history. The causes — war, conflict, violence, persecution, natural disasters, and climate change — are as familiar to readers of the news as to students of the past. It is 70 years since nations in the wake of World War II drew up the landmark 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees. People Forced to Flee marks this milestone. It is the latest in a long line of publications, stretching back to 1993, that were previously entitled The State of the World's Refugees. The book traces the historic path that led to the 1951 Convention, showing how history was made, by taking...
The Rome Statute as Evidence of Customary International Law
In The Rome Statute as Evidence of Customary International Law, Yudan Tan offers a detailed analysis of topical issues concerning the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court as evidence of customary international law. The 1998 Rome Statute has generated a great deal of scholarly interest. Providing a novel way of analysing the treaty-custom interactions, Yudan Tan examines the customary status of essential parts of the Rome Statute. Based on a flexible two-element identification approach, focusing more on opinio juris, Yudan Tan convincingly argues that provisions of the Rome Statute were partly declaratory of custom when adopted in 1998, and that they are also partly declaratory of custom at the present time.

Hegemoniebildung und Elitentransformation im Kosovo. Von der spätosmanischen Herrschaft bis zur Republik
Der Kosovo-Konflikt aus den 1990er Jahren wirft seine Schatten bis in die Gegenwart auf den südosteuropäischen Raum. Seine Ursachen und Nachwirkungen scheinen dabei durch eine simplifizierte Dichotomie anhand ethnischer Grenzen festgeschrieben. Dass eine derartige Sichtweise jedoch nicht nur vermeintliche politisch-ethnische Gegensätze unhinterfragt fortschreibt, sondern gleichfalls Herrschaftsbeziehungen außer Acht lässt, ist so naheliegend wie unbefriedigend. Das vorliegende Buch beinhaltet eine Analyse der sozialen, politischen und ökonomischen Gegebenheiten, um aus der Historie heraus eine alternative Betrachtungsweise des Kosovo und des ehemaligen Jugoslawien aufzuzeigen. Den theoretischen Hintergrund bilden insbesondere die Internationale Politische Ökonomie als auch die Postcolonial Studies, ergänzt durch Ansätze aus anderen Fachrichtungen. Vom Autor geführte Interviews mit Experten aus Serbien und dem Kosovo sowie eine thematisch breitgefächerte Quellenbasis dienen dabei als Fundament.
