International Legal Argument in the Permanent Court of International Justice
The International Court of Justice at The Hague is the principal judicial organ of the UN, and the successor of the Permanent Court of International Justice (1923–1946), which was the first real permanent court of justice at the international level. This 2005 book analyses the groundbreaking contribution of the Permanent Court to international law, both in terms of judicial technique and the development of legal principle. The book draws on archival material left by judges and other persons involved in the work of the Permanent Court, giving fascinating insights into many of its most important decisions and the individuals who made them (Huber, Anzilotti, Moore, Hammerskjöld and others). At the same time it examines international legal argument in the Permanent Court, basing its approach on a developed model of international legal argument that stresses the intimate relationships between international and national lawyers and between international and national law.
A National Lawyer Takes Stock
In Denmark, Professor Alf Ross was the legal icon of the twentieth century. His sharp and daring intellect made his eloquent writings stimulating reading and attracted many readers abroad. His astute and uncompromising style of analysis, carrying principles and assumptions to their ultimate conclusion, made Ross' writings in the field of international law a fine study of the general conditions of international lawyers as well as of the basis of international law. This was the case, even though Ross was not primarily an international lawyer; indeed, it might have been precisely for this reason that Ross was so thoughtprovoking. Ross' key interest was to study the concept of law when removed from the context of national law. But far more than a 'realist' theory of law, his writings provide witness to the possible impact of national legal thinking on international law. Ross' 'Textbook of International Law', in which he took stock of international law, offers a good illustration of a more complicated relationship between national and international law, and between national and international lawyers - then as well as today.
External Relations Law of the European Community
External Relations Law of the European Community begins by noting two common characteristics of legal analyses in the field of EU external relations. First, most legal analyses assume that EC external relations law cannot be studied or applied without a constant awareness of the underlying political dynamics. Yet, the same analyses fail to explain how these 'dynamics' are to be understood, assessed and systematically applied. This pragmatic outlook reduces the importance and value of a self-reflective, rational and coherent legal language. Second, most legal analyses tend to focus only on n.
The Intersection of International Law and Domestic Law
What are the theoretical and practical issues relating to the intersection between domestic and international law? This important new book discusses how general theories, including monism and dualism, transpire in practice. The author examines several key areas: the rules relating to treaty making and the ratification of treatises, the doctrine of automatic incorporation and transformation, the direct effect of international norms in the domestic system, and a discussion of the principle of consistent interpretation. With a focus on the European Convention on Human Rights, the author concludes that, although traditional theories are still relevant, they fall short in grasping the complexity of the different ways in which the legislator and the courts have given effect to international law on the domestic level. Students and scholars of international and domestic law will find this book to be useful in their studies. It will also be of interest to academics, judges, and practicing lawyers.
The Conservative Human Rights Revolution
This book reconsiders the origins of the European human rights system, arguing that its conservative inventors, foremost among them Winston Churchill, conceived of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) as a means of realizing a controversial political agenda and advancing a Christian vision of European identity.
