Detention and Its Alternatives Under International Law
In theory, international law provides a clear framework for ensuring the rarity of detention by either characterising a detention practice as inherently arbitrary or treating it as a measure of last resort. However, some critics have argued that international law prioritises procedural safeguards, leaving the international law on the legitimacy, necessity, and proportionality of detention and its alternatives underdeveloped. Detention and its Alternatives under International Law analyses the current state of the international law on detention and its alternatives within national law and policy. It addresses armed conflict, counterterrorism, criminal justice, mental health, migration, public ...
The Changing Tide of Immigration and Emigration During the Last Three Centuries
This book demonstrates the tide of change of immigration and emigration.

International Law and Peace Settlements
International Law and Peace Settlements provides a systematic and comprehensive assessment of the relationship between international law and peace settlement practice across core settlement issues, e.g. transitional justice, human rights, refugees, self-determination, power-sharing, and wealth-sharing. The contributions address key cross-cutting questions on the legal status of peace agreements, the potential for developing international law, and the role of key actors – such as non-state armed groups, third-state witnesses and guarantors, and the UN Security Council – in the legalisation and internationalisation of settlement commitments. In recent years, significant scholarly work has examined facets of the relationship between international law and peace settlements, through concepts such as jus post bellum and lex pacificatoria. International Law and Peace Settlements drives forward the debate on the legalisation and internationalisation of peace agreements with diverse contributions from leading academics and practitioners in international law and conflict resolution.
Un giorno nella vita di Abed Salama
Milad, cinque anni, è emozionatissimo: sulle spalle uno zaino più grande di lui con dentro la sua merendina preferita, non vede l’ora di salire sul pullman per la prima gita di classe della sua vita, destinazione un parco a nord di Gerusalemme. Quando Milad saluta la mamma ed esce sotto una pioggia battente, suo padre Abed sta ancora dormendo. La giornata che cambierà per sempre la vita di Abed Salama comincia qualche ora più tardi, su una strada bloccata, una delle poche su cui ai palestinesi è ancora concesso viaggiare, e la notizia di un incidente «con alto numero di vittime». Incalzato da un presagio, Abed raggiunge trafelato il luogo dell’impatto dove lo accoglie una bolgia i...
Rigging the System
"This report looks at the government's policies for and restrictions on humanitarian assistance and reconstruction and development funding to Syria. Human Rights Watch found that the Syrian government has developed a policy and legal framework that allows it to divert aid and reconstruction resources to fund its atrocities, punish those perceived as opponents, and benefit those loyal to it."--Publisher website.
Un día en la vida de Abed Salama
Premio Pulitzer 2024 en la categoría de no ficción. Un retrato desgarrador de la vida diaria de la población palestina bajo la ocupación israelí. El 16 de febrero de 2012 se produjo un accidente en el que se vio implicado un autobús escolar que llevaba a un grupo de niños de excursión. Un hecho trágico. Pero el lugar en el que sucedió añadió a la tragedia una dimensión kafkiana, un insoportable grado de sinrazón. El accidente tuvo lugar en una carretera de los alrededores de Jerusalén, y los niños que viajaban en el autobús eran palestinos. Uno de ellos, de cinco años, se llamaba Milad Salama. Su padre, Abed Salama, es el protagonista de este contundente y conmovedor report...
Der Nahe Osten in einer globalisierten Welt
Der Nahe Osten wird häufig als Krisenregion wahrgenommen. Die sozialen, wirtschaftlichen und politischen Veränderungen, Terrorismus und Staatszerfall, die Folgen des Arabischen Frühlings und des Klimawandels stellen die Staaten dieser Region vor große Probleme. Dieser Band informiert über diese Bereiche hinaus fundiert über vernachlässigte und langfristige Entwicklungslinien jenseits der schnellen Schlagzeile. Die Beiträge beleuchten transnationale Dynamiken und Herausforderungen, vor denen die Schlüsselstaaten der Region stehen. Ebenso wird der Einfluss externer Akteure, etwa der USA, der Europäischen Union, der Vereinten Nationen sowie Russlands und Chinas analysiert.
Syrie, le pays brûlé (2011-2021)
Ce livre redonne une voix à celles et ceux que la dictature de Hafez puis Bachar al-Assad s’est employé, et s’emploie toujours, à faire taire en Syrie et ailleurs. Il documente et dénonce des crimes que beaucoup voudraient oublier malgré leurs liens directs avec nos propres hantises (crise de l'accueil migratoire, crispation identitaire, attentats djihadistes, invasion russe de l’Ukraine…). Dans la lignée des grands Livres noirs, il retrace précisément les faits : terreur, emprisonnements massifs, tortures systématiques, sièges des villes, bombardements chimiques, exterminations ethnico-confessionnelles, « assainissement » démographique, dont il éclaire les ressorts his...
Governing Gaza
Marred by political tumult and violent conflict since the early twentieth century, Gaza has been subject to a multiplicity of rulers. Still not part of a sovereign state, it would seem too exceptional to be a revealing site for a study of government. Ilana Feldman proves otherwise. She demonstrates that a focus on the Gaza Strip uncovers a great deal about how government actually works, not only in that small geographical space but more generally. Gaza’s experience shows how important bureaucracy is for the survival of government. Feldman analyzes civil service in Gaza under the British Mandate (1917–48) and the Egyptian Administration (1948–67). In the process, she sheds light on how ...
