The Human Rights Accountability Mechanisms of International Organizations
"International organizations (IOs) have become increasingly powerful. In recent decades, states have conferred more and more powers upon IOs in order to solve transnational problems and to provide global public goods. As a consequence of their increasing powers, IOs are affecting the lives of individuals across the globe - directly and indirectly. Throughout the 20th century, this internationalization was generally seen as a positive development, the "assumption [being] that international organisations are, necessarily, a good thing, an assumption which often takes the place of argument""--

Public Law in a Troubled Era
Public law, which examines relations between governments and institutions and individuals, has, in recent years, become deeply disturbed by an erosion of the rule of law, notably in some of the world’s most professedly democratic nations. In this book of edited essays, many of the world’s leading public lawyers draw on examples from the United Kingdom, European States, and the European Union (EU) to explore the alarming tensions unleashed as Europe is rocked by Brexit, the war between nations on the EU border, and the worldwide phenomenon of populist resistance to globalised forces and liberal democratic aspirations. The book is dedicated to Professor Patrick Birkinshaw, who until his re...

La adhesión de la Unión Europea al Convenio Europeo de Derechos Humanos
Nos encontramos en un momento histórico de cambios, en el que la palabra “crisis” ha adquirido mayor protagonismoque ninguna otra. El mundo está viviendo una suerte de metamorfosis que, en muy poco tiempo, está reconfigurando el equilibrio ylos mimbres tejidos tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial. El continente europeo no es ajeno a esta realidad y se halla en un momento crucial debido a la larga lista de crisis a las que debe hacerfrente –crisis financiera, crisis de refugiados, crisis de confianza de los ciudadanos en sus instituciones, deriva autoritaria de Hungría y Polonia, Brexit y un largo etcétera -. Con este telón de fondo, esta obra tiene por objeto ofrecer unexhaustivo anál...
Contract Interpretation in Investment Treaty Arbitration
"As the book clearly explains, there are situations in which questions of contract law need to be examined by investment tribunals - mainly as preliminary or incidental questions, to determine issues such as contract liability or breach of contract, that in turn are assumed as a basis for the issues of investment law in dispute"--
The EU Accession to the ECHR
Article 6 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU) provides that the EU will accede to the system of human rights protection of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). Protocol No 9 in the Treaty of Lisbon opens the way for accession. This represents a major change in the relationship between two organisations that have co-operated closely in the past, though the ECHR has hitherto exercised only an indirect constitutional control over the EU legal order through scrutiny of EU Member States. The accession of the EU to the ECHR is expected to put an end to the informal dialogue, and allegedly also competition between the two regimes in Europe and to establish formal (both normative and in...
