Humanité et souverainetés
Les bouleversements qui affectent la société mondiale depuis la fin de la guerre froide défient souvent l'analyse. L'approche juridique est très rare, et c'est ce qui fait tout le prix de ce livre majeur, où l'auteur propose une vaste fresque de l'histoire contemporaine au regard du droit international, qui est aussi une histoire de cette discipline encore incertaine. Les bouleversements qui affectent la société mondiale depuis la fin de la guerre froide défient souvent l'analyse. Histoire, sciences politiques et géopolitique sont appelées à la rescousse pour éclairer cette sombre scène, sans toujours y parvenir. L'approche juridique est beaucoup plus rare, et c'est ce qui fait ...
De la guerre à la communauté universelle
Prendre acte des guerres qui se sont multipliées depuis la fin de la guerre froide et de la défaillance de l’Organisation des Nations unies, qui devait prévenir tout conflit armé, tandis que les instabilités diverses dans le monde globalisé sont lourdes de menaces : notre situation impose de penser une nouvelle organisation de la communauté universelle. Celle-ci doit se démarquer de la pure traduction des rapports de force en présence et s’inscrire dans le projet des Lumières, dans une perspective d’émancipation vers laquelle l’humanité doit tendre. Si l'on vise la liberté des peuples et le respect des droits de l’homme, il faut alors reprendre la question du droit –...
International Law: Achievements and Prospects
The arrival of the International Law: Achievements and Prospects can fairly be described as a major event in international legal publishing. It has been written by international lawyers from the North, the South, the East and the West, whose differing origins and different, or even opposed, academic backgrounds have ensured that the book encapsulates and brings into focus `the main forms of civilization' and `the principal legal systems of the world'. The book's most distinctive feature is its international, multi-cultural and polyphonic nature. International Law: Achievements and Prospects aims to inform and to educate, to make the discipline of international law accessible to a very broad ...
Sovereignty over the Paracel and Spratly Islands
This exceptional volume deals with the hotly contested legal status of the Paracels and the Spratlys, two inhospitable archipelagos located in the South China Sea, sovereignty over which is disputed by several states. The author investigates the contribution which international law can make towards determining the rights of all parties involved. In order to do so she goes back into history to find out at each stage what the actual situation was and what its legal significance was in terms of the legal categories of the time. The originality of this work, compared to others already published on this topic, lies in its analysis of the valuable French archives. Not only these archives, but also existing legal writings have served as a basis for the investigation into the status of the archipelagos. The book sheds new and significant light on this important question.
Democracy and Sovereignty
Our world is in urgent need of global answers on subjects such as Big Data, climate change, and the interconnected global economy. This volume tackles those issues and more, with the goal of advancing more democratic modes of decision-making.
Consenting to International Law
The obligations stemming from international law are still predominantly considered, despite important normative and descriptive critiques, as being 'based' on (State) consent. To that extent, international law differs from domestic law where consent to the law has long been considered irrelevant to law-making, whether as a criterion of validity or as a ground of legitimacy. In addition to a renewed historical and philosophical interest in (State) consent to international law, including from a democratic theory perspective, the issue has also recently regained in importance in practice. Various specialists of international law and the philosophy of international law have been invited to explore the different questions this raises in what is the first edited volume on consent to international law in English language. The collection addresses three groups of issues: the notions and roles of consent in contemporary international law; its objects and types; and its subjects and institutions.
20 ans de jurisprudence de la Cour Internationale de Justice
'La connaissance intime de la jurisprudence de la Cour a permis a Madame Stern de substituer a un alignement paresseux des chroniques annuelles une plus agreable presentation affaire par affaire, avec quelques precisions utiles sur les suites de certaines de ces affaires, ainsi que diverses annexes qui permettent au lecteur d'apprendre sur la Cour bien des details interessants. 'Il faut aussi relever l'effort fait par le professeur Brigitte Stern d'une double approche pour chaque affaire, la premiere neutre et quasi 'notariale' relatant simplement les motifs et le dispositif de chaque decision jurisprudentielle, l'autre critique et 'professorale' mettant en jugement serre l'arret de la Cour....
