How does international law respond to situations where collective entities order, encourage or allow the committing of international crimes?
Als der niederländische Autor Menno ter Braak am 14. Mai, dem Tag der Kapitulation der niederländischen Armee, den Freitod wählte, markierte dies die Stunde Null der niederländischen Literatur des 20. Jahrhunderts. Menno ter Braak, ein Kämpfer für Humanität und Wahrheit, stand in der Tradition von Erasmus und Multatuli. Bereits als junger Mann entwickelte er eine starke Verbundenheit mit Deutschland. Sein Geschichtsstudium schloss er mit einer Promotion über Kaiser Otto III. ab und setzte sich in den Niederlanden für das Werk Friedrich Nietzsches ein. Zugleich wurde er in seinem Heimatland der wichtigste Kritiker des Dritten Reichs und der Judenverfolgung. Mit seinem Œuvre schlägt er eine Brücke von Thomas Mann, dem er freundschaftlich verbunden war, zu Harry Mulisch, dem späteren niederländischen Zauberlehrling. Zusammen mit dem Historiker Johan Huizinga, einem Cousin Menno ter Braaks, gilt er als bedeutendster Non-Fiction-Autor der modernen niederländischen Literatur.
The third edition of this highly successful manual is not only a revised text but has been extended to meet the interpretive needs of Raman users as well as those working in the IR region. The result is a uniquely practical, comprehensive and detailed source for spectral interpretation. Combining in one volume, the correlation charts and tables for spectral interpretation for these two complementary techniques, this book will be of great benefit to those using or considering either technique. In addition to the new Raman coverage the new edition offers: * new section on macromolecules including synthetic polymers and biomolecules; * expansion of the section on NIR (near infrared region) to reflect recent growth in this area; * extended chapter on inorganic compounds including minerals and glasses; * redrawn and updated charts plus a number of new charts covering data new to this edition. This new edition will be invaluable in every industrial, university, government and hospital laboratory where infrared (FT-IR) and Raman spectral data need to be analysed.
This 1922 book presents an account of the development of the Netherlands, from the Burgundian period up until the reign of Queen Wilhelmina.
This textbook provides a unique support in gaining essential knowledge on the immune response, its diagnosis and its modification by drugs and chemicals. The first section of the book, covering a basic introduction to immunology and its relevance for human disease, has been updated to accommodate new immunological concepts. The second section on immunodiagnostics has been further expanded to describe widely used molecular techniques and is followed by a systematic coverage of drugs affecting the immune system, revised to cover recent developments. The book concludes with a chapter on immunotoxicology. This third edition continues the unique format dealing with four related topics in a single volume, obviating the need to refer to several different textbooks. New aids to the reader include a two-column format, glossaries of technical terms and appendix reference tables. The emphasis on illustrations is maintained from the first edition.
Challenging the widespread classification of evangelical theologian Balthasar Hubmaier (1480-1528) as a Schleitheim-adhering Anabaptist, this book argues that Hubmaier should instead be understood as a bridge between the Radical and Magisterial branches of the Reformation and provides for a deeper understanding of one of the 16th century's most creative and sophisticated thinkers.
A collection of interviews conducted by Gerstenfeld with Jewish historians and public figures. In a lengthy essay preceding the interviews (p. 10-90), "From the Aftermath of the Holocaust to Today's Antisemitism" [an abridged version appeared in "Jewish Political Studies Review" 14 (2002)], notes a number of issues relevant to assessing European postwar antisemitism: barriers placed in the way of survivors' reintegration into postwar society, problems related to financial and moral restitution, the reluctance of European states to punish war criminals and its relation to national myths that exculpate countries from responsibility for the Holocaust, the preservation or lack thereof of Holocaust memory and Holocaust education. Stresses the double standard adopted by European countries in regard to Israel, and antisemitism expressed in anti-Zionism. Presents brief reports on antisemitism in various countries and suggests that more research is needed to reveal connections between present and postwar antisemitism. Some of the interviews (which consist of quotes interspersed with Gerstenfeld's comments), were published previously. Contents:
