International Humanitarian Law: Theory, Practice, Context
This book is about international humanitarian law or - as it is also called - the "law of armed conflict"or "law of war". It emerged from a series of lectures delivered at the Hague Academy of International Law. The author deals with war and the means by which international law attempts to contain and, as it were, "humanize" organized violence. But the ambitions of the author go beyond the battlefield. The book explores the many complex ways in which law functions to regulate warfare, in theory and practice. The author looks into treaties and other sources of international law, but he also tries to step outside the boundaries of "black-letter law"to deal broadly with such matters as the influence of culture in shaping the norms on war, the institutions that develop those norms and work for their universal acceptance, the networks of humanitarian actors in this area and the legal procedures in which the law of war and its various institutions are embedded. The book demonstrates that even wars are, in various ways, conducted in "the shadow of the law".
Corporate Governance and Corporate Social Responsibility: How to Tackle Environmental Imperatives in Company Law?
The book first discusses the concepts of corporate governance and corporate social responsibility (CSR) and provides a new framework to deal with these issues in the context of sustainability. It then explores the requirements of "an end state of global sustainability" and subsequently moves to a detailed analysis of the current governance regime, delving into the CSR-related liabilities and incentives at stake for both corporations and their directors. It concludes with a framework suggesting that there are four normative avenues for addressing environmental and social imperatives in company law, which helps reflect on how to tackle the "potentiality for a sustainability gap" in corporate g...
Internet of Things
The Internet of Things as an emerging global Internet-based information archit- ture facilitating the exchange of goods and services is gradually developing. While the technology of the Internet of Things is still being discussed and created, the legal framework should be established before the Internet of Things is fully operable, in order to allow for an efective introduction of the new information architecture. If a self-regulatory approach is to be adopted to provide a legal framework for the Internet of Things, and this seems preferable, rulemakers can draw on experiences from the current regime of Internet governance. In the near future, mainly businesses will operate in the Internet o...
Conflict of Interest in Global, Public and Corporate Governance
An interdisciplinary and international study addressing conflict of interest in different spheres and at different levels of governance.
Droit des sociétés
Ce précis présente la très vaste matière qu'est le droit suisse des sociétés de façon complète et aussi concentrée que possible. Une partie générale identifie d'abord les règles applicables à l'ensemble des sociétés. Certaines sont des dispositions légales explicitement communes à toutes les entreprises (il en va ainsi pour le registre du commerce, les raisons sociales, les succursales et la comptabilité). D'autres sont des règles qui convergent matériellement, bien qu'elles soient formellement distinctes (p. ex. en matière de représentation, de responsabilité des dirigeants, d'évaluation des parts sociales ou encore de liquidation). Sont ensuite présentées les règ...
Les droits réels limités à l'épreuve du droit de la concurrence
La présente contribution tend à démontrer que la concurrence au sens large peut être restreinte au moyen de droits réels limités. Dans la première partie de l'ouvrage, l'auteur effectue des développements sur les notions de servitude et de charge foncière en retenant que cette dernière est intéressante car elle peut également prévoir une prestation négative à charge du propriétaire grevé. La seconde partie est consacrée à l'étude des accords restrictifs de concurrence, de l'abus de position dominante et de leur confrontation aux instruments juridiques précités. Les deux dernières parties traitent des clauses précisant les modalités de la créance cédulaire figurant ...
