The World Bank Group, the IMF and Human Rights
The World Bank Group and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) are under substantial pressure to accept more accountability under international human rights law. This book sets out the standards by which these international financial institutions are bound under international human rights law as it currently stands. Human rights law is 'living law' and has changed over time, as have international financial institutions, despite their sometimes static approach to their own mandates. However, the World Bank Group and the IMF are both starting to recognize, more and more, the relevance of human rights to the fulfillment of their respective mandates, even if they still maintain, be it to different degrees, that international human rights law is only partly applicable to them. The book argues that this position is no longer tenable and that human rights law does in fact apply to both international financial institutions. The book also includes the Guiding Principles on the World Bank Group, the International Monetary Fund and Human Rights. Subject: International Law, Human Rights Law, Finance Law, Banking Law]

Supranational Criminal Prosecution of Sexual Violence
The 1996 report of the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Rwanda stated that during the 1994 genocide in Rwanda rape was the rule and its absence the exception. Indeed, rape and other forms of sexual violence as constituting genocide, crimes against humanity or war crimes, directed in particular against women, have taken place on a massive scale since time immemorial and are still rampant.
The New Faces of Victimhood
Besides generating wealth, globalization makes victims, including victims of new forms of crime. In this edited book of scholarly essays, international lawyers and criminologists reflect on the legal challenges posed by these dark sides of globalization. Examples include transnational organised crime, human trafficking and corruption, cyber crimes, international terrorism, global corporate crime and cross-border environmental crimes. The authors reflect on the limits of domestic systems of justice in providing protection, empowerment and redress to the victims of these emerging forms of global insecurity. They argue for the need of better international or supra-national institutional arrange...
International Labour Rights and the Social Clause
Takes as its starting point the observation that a social clause should be concerned with achieving international labour rights. Analyses the conception of international labour rights involving not only law but also other disciplines such as history, morality and economics. Shows that the discussion on the social clause is emblematic of the way the WTO and the international trade system should deal with human rights in general. It requires an approach grounded in international law in the broadest sense, covering general international law, international human rights law, international trade law, international labour law and legal theory.
