The Global Administrative Law of Science
We live in a world of science. Yet this is impossible without a legally guaranteed freedom to practise it. Findings with regard to the elements of such freedom can be deduced from an analysis of international and domestic provisions and principles. There are a plethora of international institutions, legal rules and global norms for the purpose of the international governance of science. The institutions and rules are to be interpreted in light of this freedom to guarantee the continuous existence of the knowledge-based society by means of a global administrative law of science. These aspects were analysed in a research project funded by the German Research Foundation. The book’s purpose is to present the jurisprudential results. In addition, empirical results are collected in a freely available database. The study is composed of 5 parts: The Concept of Science/Global Administrative Law/Constitutional Basis: The Freedom of Science/Institutional Design/Governance Mechanisms.
Subsequent Agreements and Subsequent Practice in Domestic Courts
The book analyses how subsequent agreements and subsequent practice as defined in articles 31 and 32 of the 1969 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties have been applied in interpretative reality. Based on the jurisprudence of domestic courts, it elucidates the distribution of power between the parties to a treaty and other actors. To start with, the book traces the origins of subsequent agreements and subsequent practice and places them in their broader legal context. Next, it explores the legal status and effects of subsequent agreements and subsequent practice, explains why such agreements are only rarely used, and defines the relevance of non-party practice in the interpretative process. In closing, it critically examines how domestic courts have approached the normative heart of subsequent practice, i.e. the notion of ‘agreement’. Thus, this book ultimately challenges the traditional assumption that the parties are the joint masters of the treaty.
Law of the Sea in Dialogue
The interrelation between different fields of public international law has particular relevance for the systematic understanding of international law. The book contains a collection of essays on the law of the sea and its interdependencies with other current legal issues of global importance. The issue of the relationship between global warming and law of the sea matters are one focus. In a second thematic section the collection addresses the global commons. The third part deals with security issues. The recent increase in piracy activities has shown the relevance of discussing the linkage between the law of the sea and security issues.
Governance by Indicators
Indicators and rankings are widely used by governments and organisations to assess the effectiveness, efficiency, and success of policy decisions. This book evaluates the creation of indicators, their impact on policy decisions, and the implications of their use.
International Judicial Lawmaking
Over the past two decades new international courts have entered the scene of international law and existing institutions have started to play more significant roles. The present volume studies one particular dimension of their increasing practice: international judicial lawmaking. It observes that in a number of fields of international law, judicial institutions have become significant actors and shape the law through adjudication. The contributions in this volume set out to capture this phenomenon in principle, in particular detail, and with regard to a number of individual institutions. Specifically, the volume asks how international judicial lawmaking scores when it comes to democratic legitimation. It formulates this question as part of the broader quest for legitimate global governance and places it within the context of the research project on the exercise of international public authority at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law.
Evidence in European Asylum Procedures
This book focuses on three European asylum procedures and the evidentiary assessment carried out in these. The interrelationship between these procedures and legal systems influencing them is explored and questions in relation to the harmonizing strivings of EU are posed.
Das internationale Benchmarkingverfahren und seine Bedeutung für den gewerblichen Rechtsschutz
Der UN-Sozialpakt schützt grundlegende Rechte wie das Recht auf Nahrung, Gesundheit oder Bildung. Da Staaten nur über begrenzte wirtschaftliche Kapazitäten verfügen, müssen sie die Rechte allerdings nur nach Maßgabe ihrer Ressourcen verwirklichen. Die UNO überwacht, ob der jeweilige Staat die Rechte ausreichend umsetzt. Sie steht vor dem Problem, mit welchen Methoden sie analysieren soll, ob ein Staat seine Mittel optimal einsetzt. Diese Frage zu beantworten ist Gegenstand der vorliegenden Untersuchung. Das Lösungsmodell wird an einem aktuellen Beispiel getestet: den grenzübergreifenden Menschenrechtspflichten im Bereich des gewerblichen Rechtsschutzes. Der Autor stellt dar, wie sich mit der gefundenen Methode Menschenrechte und Patentrecht harmonisieren lassen.
International Dispute Settlement: Room for Innovations?
This publication succeeds previously published seminars of the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law (Heidelberg, Germany) dealing with evolving principles and new developments in international law. Due to the limits of traditional dispute settlement in international law and the ongoing scholarly debate on those limits, it focuses on possible innovations and functional approaches to improve international dispute settlement mechanisms. In doing so, it covers a wide variety of topics such as procedures of the WTO, advisory opinions of international courts and tribunals, the privatization of international dispute settlement, the interaction between counsels and international courts and tribunals, and the law-making function of international courts. The aim of this publication is to contribute to the cross-fertilization between these mechanisms and to offer creative impulses for the promotion of international dispute settlement.
The UN Security Council Members' Responsibility to Protect
This book examines the hard legal core, if any, of the “Responsibility to Protect (R2P)” concept with regard to the commitment to take collective action through the UN Security Council. It addresses the question of whether public international law establishes a duty on the part of the individual Security Council members to collectively take the necessary action to prevent atrocities (genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and ethnic cleansing). To this end, it offers an interpretation of provisions in multilateral conventions, such as the undertaking to prevent genocide in Article 1 of the Genocide Convention and the undertaking to ensure respect for the Geneva Conventions in common Article 1 of the 1949 Geneva Conventions, analyses the UN Charter framework for Security Council action, and explores whether the recognition of the international responsibility to protect has prompted the emergence of a new norm for general international law.
Internationaler Strafgerichtshof und Sicherheitsrat der Vereinten Nationen
Das Werk setzt sich mit dem Verhältnis des Internationalen Strafgerichtshofs (IStGH) zum VN-Sicherheitsrat (SR) auseinander. Dabei werden u.a. die sog. Referral- und Deferral-Kompetenz des Sicherheitsrats und das Aggressionsverbrechen aus Sicht des Römischen Statuts und der VN-Charta analysiert. Eine entscheidende Rolle spielt hierbei das Prinzip der Unabhängigkeit von Gerichten. Anhand der gewonnenen Ergebnisse werden zudem die relevanten SR-Resolutionen überprüft. Im Fokus der Arbeit steht SR-Resolution 1593 (2005), auf deren Grundlage der IStGH einen Haftbefehl gegen den amtierenden sudanesischen Staatspräsidenten al-Bashir erlassen hat.
