Bravery or Bravado? The Protection of News Providers in Armed Conflict
During the last decade, the image of war correspondents in the news has shifted dramatically. Reports are no longer full of cheerleading stories of embedded journalists. Instead, stories of war reporters being attacked, kidnapped or injured prevail. Sadly, the former heroic witnesses to war have become victims of their own story. In this book, Nina Burri provides the first comprehensive analysis on how international law protects professional and citizen journalists, photographers, cameramen and their support staff during times of war. Using examples from recent armed conflicts in Iraq, Libya, Gaza and Syria, Burri explores the means, methods and risks of contemporary war coverage and examines the protection of news providers by international humanitarian law, international criminal law and human rights law.
Coexistence, Cooperation and Solidarity
Considering paradigmatic changes and current challenges in international law this collection of essays covers diverse areas such as law of the sea, human rights, international environmental law, international dispute settlement, peace and security, global governance and its relationship to domestic law.
Starvation as a Weapon
In Starvation as a Weapon Simone Hutter explores, within the framework of international law, the legality of using deliberate starvation as a means to an end. A close look at modern famine shows that, in many cases, food scarcity is not the product of coincidence, but a side effect or result of a deliberate strategy. Starvation is an efficient instrument when used to exert pressure and power, in times of war and peace. Simone Hutter demonstrates how international human rights law and international humanitarian law prevent deliberate starvation as a means of achieving political goals. She focuses on highly divisive and under-discussed instances in which states deploy deliberate starvation domestically, i.e. within the state’s own national territory.
Law-Making and Legitimacy in International Humanitarian Law
International Humanitarian Law (IHL) is in a state of some turbulence, as a result of, among other things, non-international armed conflicts, terrorist threats and the rise of new technologies. This incisive book observes that while states appear to be reluctant to act as agents of change, informal methods of law-making are flourishing. Illustrating that not only courts, but various non-state actors, push for legal developments, this timely work offers an insight into the causes of this somewhat ambivalent state of IHL by focusing attention on both the legitimacy of law-making processes and the actors involved.

Schweiz ist geil
Wilhelm Tell landete mehr Treffer als Google, unsere Söldner richteten im Mittelalter mehr Schaden an als der Friseur von Boris Johnson und Ursula Andress befreite den Begriff Bondgirl aus der Schmuddelecke. Du erfährst unter anderem, warum die elektrische Gitarre ein Schweizer Nationalinstrument sein sollte, warum die Globi-Bücher Weltliteratur sind, warum die Toblerone dreieckig ist, wie Sepp Blatter den Fussball erfand und was ein Nacktwanderer an der Street Parade trägt. Die Schweiz ist das beste Land der Welt. In diesem Buch lernst du alles über unser System, unsere Geschichte, unsere Promis, unsere Helden, unsere Bräuche oder unsere Innovationen. Einfach alles.
Völkerrecht kompakt
Presse und Politik konfrontieren uns täglich mit Begriffen wie «bewaffneter Konflikt», «internationale Verhandlung» oder «Menschenrechte». Alle haben sie mit Völkerrecht zu tun. Gerade für den Kleinstaat Schweiz ist das Völkerrecht unentbehrlich zur Bewältigung der zahlreichen, oft auch grenzüberschreitenden Herausforderungen unserer Welt, wie etwa der Klimawandel, die Flüchtlingskrise und die globale Wirtschaftsordnung. Das Völkerrecht ist also viel mehr als ein abstrakter Begriff. Aber was ist es genau? Woher kommt es? Was regelt es, und wie wird es durchgesetzt? Wer kann völkerrechtlich handeln? Diesem Buch gelingt es, diese und weitere Fragen zum Völkerrecht fachkundig zu beantworten und diese komplexe, uns alle betreffende Materie einfach und verständlich darzustellen.
The Tripartite Realist War: Analysing Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine
The book offers a detailed analysis on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. A book needs to be written on this to make sense, from a theoretical perspective, why this invasion has occurred and what the main actors are pursuing. The originality rests on testing main international relations theories: realism, liberalism and constructivism to the war that emerges with the practices and approaches during the Cold War to date from the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO), the Soviet Union (and now Russia) and Ukraine. The monograph commences with a historical overview of NATO and how it has engaged in expansionism policy to further contain Russia in contemporary international affairs with the accession of additional former Soviet states. This helps to explain the current Russian invasion of Ukraine that would attract great readership. The main argument presented rests on the pursuance of realist interests by NATO, Ukraine and Russia for containment, national security interests and as a response to the security dilemma respectively. This has served as the main catalyst of this conflict that has made diplomacy, international law and collective security measures problematic to implement.
Hukum Humaniter International
Hukum humaniter internasional (HHI) menjelma menjadi bidang kajian yang sangat populer sejak Perang Dingin berakhir. Hukum humaniter internasional (HHI) kini tak hanya menjadi hirauan para kombatan dan badan-badan kemanusiaan seperti ICRC, atau menjadi mata pelajaran wajib para siswa akademi militer. Namun HHI telah menjadi kebutuhan dalam kurikulum universitas di seluruh dunia, dan menjadi pengetahuan yang sangat dibutuhkan dalam berbagai bidang profesi di masyarakat. Studi-studi tentang konflik bersenjata dan tragedi kemanusiaan yang menjadi fokus perhatian HHI, semakin diminati di lingkungan perguruan tinggi. Riset-riset berbasis HHI banyak dilakukan oleh para mahasiswa, baik di jenjang s...
