Globalization of contractual law
This book adopts the proposition that it is possible to the customs to be sources of contractual obligations. To support that premise, it was necessary to seek jurisprudential (arbitration and litigation) and comparative basis. Even more, due to contract law internationalization, customary international sources should be subject of domestic treatment, as they provide contractual obligations as well as they work as contractual interpretation tool. However, one can´t neglect the need to control the customary content. In detailed terms, then, we can say that the role reserved for the custom as contractual law rules source has always been residual in Brazilian law. Accompanying the modern Europ...
Governing the Crisis: Law, Human Rights and COVID-19
Governing the Crisis: Law, Human Rights and COVID-19 is a collection of essays by an interdisciplinary group of experts from around the world who look at different human rights issues which have emerged as relevant during the COVID-19 pandemic. The topics cover a range of issues in different countries, for example, tracing apps, digitalization, privacy, priority setting in health care, refugees, cruise ships or risks faced by children. Other chapters investigate the specific government responses in a number of countries. In addition, topics of wider legal interest are investigated, such as the role of constitutional courts, federalism and the concept of the state of emergency. Prof. Dr. Stefan Kirchner, MJI, is Research Professor of Arctic Law and the head of the Arctic Governance Research Group at the Arctic Centre of the University of Lapland in Rovaniemi, Finland.
A fraude como elemento essencial para a configuração da tipicidade objetiva dos crimes contra a ordem tributária praticados por particulares
"A fraude no crimes tributários foi aspecto teórico escolhido por Luciano Cirino dos Santos para exame no âmbito de sua dissertação de mestrado, sob minha orientação (...). Aqui, deve-se destacar o olhar inovador de Luciano Cirino dos Santos, que deu novo fôlego à interpretação de tipos penais que já estão em nosso sistema há décadas, criticando a possibilidade de incriminação de práticas como o planejamento tributário ou a interpretação divergente da lei tributária e descortinando uma aplicação fundada simplesmente na dívida tributária. (...) a presente obra consiste em um excelente referencial seja para o aplicador concreto que pretenda compreender melhor as quest...
Towards a Universal Justice? Putting International Courts and Jurisdictions into Perspective
The recent proliferation of international courts and jurisdictions raises a number of important issues ranging from the redefinition of the role of the International Court of Justice to the recent emergence of domestic courts as international jurisdictions. Towards a Universal Justice? Putting International Courts and Jurisdictions into Perspective, containing edited articles presented at the International Law Association’s Regional Conference held in Lisbon, offers a comprehensive overview of those issues and outlines challenges ahead for every branch of international law.
Rethinking Natural Law
For centuries, natural law was the main philosophical legal paradigm. Now, it is a wonder when a court of law invokes it. Arthur Kaufmann already underlined a modern general "horror iuris naturalis". We also know, with Winfried Hassemer, that the succession of legal paradigms is a matter of fashion. But why did natural law become outdated? Are there any remnants of it still alive today? This book analyses a number of prejudices and myths that have created a general misconception of natural law. As Jean-Marc Trigeaud put it: there is a natural law that positivists invented. Not the real one(s). It seeks to understand not only the usual adversaries of natural law (like legalists, positivists and historicists) but also its further enemies, the inner enemies of natural law, such as internal aporias, political and ideological manipulations, etc. The book puts forward a reasoned and balanced examination of this treasure of western political and juridical though. And, if we look at it another way, natural law is by no means a loser in our times: because it lives in modern human rights.
Mecanismos Internacionais Não-convencionais de Proteção do Meio Ambiente
O objeto de estudo desta obra são os mecanismos não convencionais de proteção dos direitos humanos. Por meio da análise da evolução conceitual da soberania, formalizada com a afirmação histórica dos direitos humanos, busca-se demonstrar sua relativização e consequente mitigação em prol destes direitos estabelecidos. O princípio da soberania diante das modificações ocorridas no direito internacional dos direitos humanos enfraqueceu a noção clássica do Estado soberano. Destaca-se o fato de o direito ambiental passar a ser visto como um direito humano em si mesmo. O meio ambiente é um bem humano básico que não comporta exceções, sendo interesse universal a existência d...
Biosafety Measures, Technology Risks and the World Trade Organization
This book examines the work of the World Trade Organization (WTO), with a focus on the capacity of its judiciary to strike a reasoned balance between free trade in biotechnology and biosafety as to promote the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals. By adopting an innovative interpretation of the precautionary principle and proportionality analysis, the work offers normative suggestions to develop what the author terms “a constructive bridge of knowledge” between decision-makers, scientists, social experts and expert witnesses, which can support a judicial balance by design rather than by chance. Biotechnology is sometimes regarded as a panacea for ...
A Convenção das Nações Unidas sobre os Direitos das Pessoas com Deficiência no Ordenamento Jurídico Português - Contributo para a Compreensão do Estatuto Jusfundamental
A Convenção das Nações Unidas sobre os Direitos das Pessoas com Deficiência deve ser vista como representando um ius conventionale commune dos direitos das pessoas com deficiência nos ordenamentos jurídicos dos Estados Partes que comprometem em respeitar o standard mínimo das normas tuteladoras dos direitos das pessoas com deficiência. Por conseguinte, a Convenção interatua, como tratado internacional de direitos humanos, com o direito interno para configurar o sentido e alcance dos direitos fundamentais adaptados para as pessoas com deficiência. O presente livro também tem por finalidade contribuir para a compreensão do mecanismo de fiscalização das atuações do Estado Parte, sob a rubrica do chamado "controlo de convencionalidade" - que está previsto no seu artigo 4.o, n.o 1, alínea d).
