Book Synopsis Legal Personality in International Law by : Roland Portmann
Download or read book Legal Personality in International Law written by Roland Portmann and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-08-26 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Several international legal issues are related to the concept of legal personality, including the determination of international rights and duties of non-state actors and the legal capacities of transnational institutions. When addressing these issues, different understandings of legal personality are employed. These concepts consider different entities to be international persons, state different criteria for becoming one and attach different consequences to being one. In this book, Roland Portmann systematizes the different positions on international personality by spelling out the assumptions on which they rest and examining how they were substantiated in legal practice. He puts forward the argument that positions on international personality which strongly emphasize the role of states or effective actors rely on assumptions that have been discarded in present international law. The principal argument is that international law has to be conceived as an open system, wherein there is no presumption for or against certain entities enjoying international personality.

In a number of high profile cases, foreign nationals have been executed after being denied their rights under the Vienna Convention.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Report presents the written proceedings and oral arguments of a case taken before the International Court of Justice concerning the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations. The case was brought by the Government of Paraguay against the Government of the United States of America. This case concerned the procedures followed, and decisions made, by the Executive and Supreme Court of the United States leading up to execution of a Paraguayan national by the Commonwealth of Virginia in May 1998. The Paraguayan argument was that the defendant had been denied his right to consular assistance as guaranteed under the Vienna Convention. The case was discontinued by Paraguay in November 1998 and therefore this volume contains no ruling from the International Court of Justice.
Book Synopsis The Development of Human Rights Law by the Judges of the International Court of Justice by : Shiv R.S. Bedi
Download or read book The Development of Human Rights Law by the Judges of the International Court of Justice written by Shiv R.S. Bedi and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2007-01-18 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The jurisprudence of the International Court of Justice generally demonstrates that no rule of international law can be interpreted and applied without regard to its innate values and the basic principles of human rights. Through its case-law the ICJ has made immense contributions to the development of human rights law, and in so doing continues to provide solutions to mounting international problems, such as terrorism and unilateral use of force. Part I of the book argues that the legislative spirit of contemporary international law lies in the doctrine of human rights and that the spirit of human rights doctrine lies in the principle of human dignity. Furthermore it argues that the processes of international legislation and international adjudication are inseparable, and that there is no norm of international law which does not intertwine the fundamental principle of human dignity with human rights doctrine. Hence human rights law is more a school of law than merely a normative branch of international law, and the ICJ's willingness to engage in the development of human rights law depends upon which judicial ideology its judges subscribe to.In order to evaluate how this human rights spirit is manifested, or occasionally not manifested, through the vast jurisprudence of the ICJ, Parts II and III critically examine the Court's principal contentious and advisory cases in which it has treated human rights questions. The legal reasoning of the Court and the opinions appended to its decisions by its individual judges are analysed in light of the principle of human dignity and the doctrine of human rights.
Book Synopsis International Procedure in Interstate Litigation and Arbitration by : Eric De Brabandere
Download or read book International Procedure in Interstate Litigation and Arbitration written by Eric De Brabandere and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-11-25 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The settlement of interstate disputes through recourse to courts and tribunals has grown gradually over the years, not only through the creation of new mechanisms to that effect, but also by using existing courts and tribunals. How these different international dispute settlement mechanisms operate in theory and practice is the subject of this comparative analysis by academic and practicing lawyers. The book takes stock of the procedure applicable in various interstate dispute settlement bodies, including international and regional courts and tribunals, and arbitration. This comparative view is essential to a better understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the various procedural rules and regulations and the practical operation of international litigation. This book is aimed not only at scholars, but also at the courts and tribunals themselves, assisting them in revising their procedures, and at States and organisations developing future international legal mechanisms.

Book Synopsis Cases and Materials on the Law of International Organizations by : William Thomas Worster
Download or read book Cases and Materials on the Law of International Organizations written by William Thomas Worster and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-22 with total page 459 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In less than 100 years, international organizations have evolved from curiosities into keystones of international law. What began long ago as an unremarkable effort to coordinate a limited number of technical issues has grown into a global, multilevel, blended governing project with diverse competences in most fields of human endeavor and interests. Law graduates who enter the field of international law, as well as political science, international relations, and diplomacy, are increasingly expected to have a strong knowledge of the law of international organizations. Beyond knowledge, graduates are also expected to be able to solve new emerging legal problems confronting organizations. This book introduces students to the law of international organizations through the careful study of the most recent cases and other materials from the International Court of Justice, United Nations Security Council and General Assembly, World Trade Organization, international criminal tribunals, European Union, European Court of Human Rights, International Labour Organization, various domestic courts and arbitral panels, and other bodies. In doing so, it undertakes a critical examination of legal rights and duties, exposing the fundamental questions that arise when addressing a range of issues within an organization. In order to provide the best foundation, the textbook focuses on several key topics: the law of treaties, creation of organizations, membership, powers of organizations, legal effects of their acts, organs, immunities, and responsibility. This book is best suited for students who are studying international organizations and who have already had one or more courses on international and/or European law.
