Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is the first to assess the legality and impact of colonisation from the viewpoint of Aboriginal law, rather than from that of the dominant Western legal tradition. It begins by outlining the Aboriginal legal system as it is embedded in Aboriginal people’s complex relationship with their ancestral lands. This is Raw Law: a natural system of obligations and benefits, flowing from an Aboriginal ontology. This book places Raw Law at the centre of an analysis of colonisation – thereby decentring the usual analytical tendency to privilege the dominant structures and concepts of Western law. From the perspective of Aboriginal law, colonisation was a violation of the code of political and social conduct embodied in Raw Law. Its effects were damaging. It forced Aboriginal peoples to violate their own principles of natural responsibility to self, community, country and future existence. But this book is not simply a work of mourning. Most profoundly, it is a celebration of the resilience of Aboriginal ways, and a call for these to be recognised as central in discussions of colonial and postcolonial legality. Written by an experienced legal practitioner, scholar and political activist, AboriginalPeoples, Colonialism and International Law: Raw Law will be of interest to students and researchers of Indigenous Peoples Rights, International Law and Critical Legal Theory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foreword by Lewis T. Preston, President, the World Bank (1991-1995). Sets out World Bank policy on disclosure of information. The policy applies to the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) and the International Development Association (IDA). This useful booklet presents the World Bank's policy on disclosure of information and describes the materials available to the public. The Bank's experience in implementing effective and sustainable development programs clearly indicates that the quality of many operations benefits when staff and government officials consult and share information with program participants. This experience inspired the Bank to launch a major review of its disclosure policy in 1993. The review resulted in a recommendation to make Bank information more publicly available. The revised policy expands the range of documents subject to release and facilitates public access to them. A significant outcome was the Bank's establishment of a Public Information Center through which much of the material covered by the revised policy is available. Also available: French (ISBN 0-8213-3129-9) Stock No. 13129; Spanish (ISBN 0-8213-3130-2) Stock No. 13130.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In seeking to foster preconditions for maintenance of order international law lays great emphasis on state sovereignty - guaranteeing states special protection against threats to their territorial integrity. However, the demarcation of territory in most post-colonial states is extremely controversial since these physical dimensions were usually established during European colonial rule. The Roman doctrine of uti possidetis was called upon to add the thrust of legal sanctity and prevent challenge to boundaries bequeathed to the new ruler. By charting its progress through different temporal phases this book demonstrates that this doctrine evolved to suit political rather than legal tenets. The book is divided into seven chapters; the first two focussing on theoretical issues surrounding uti possidetis, examining its original development in Roman law. The next three chapters trace usage of the doctrine through Spanish decolonization, African colonisation and recent ICJ jurisprudence while the last two study modern manifestations of the effects of the doctrine in the former Yugoslavia and for indigenous peoples world-wide. A comprehensive and critical analysis of the Roman doctrine of uti possidetis, this book is an important resource for both students and scholars of international law.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jungste Fortschritte in Robotik und KI machen es moglich, Roboter auch mit ethisch und rechtlich sensiblen Aufgaben zu betrauen. Besonders umstritten ist der Einsatz so genannter autonomer Waffensysteme (AWS), die eigenstandig Entscheidungen uber Leben und Tod von 'Zielpersonen' treffen. Damit beruhren sie zentrale Grundlagen des humanitaren Volkerrechts, der internationalen Menschenrechte, des internationalen Strafrechts sowie der staatlichen Verantwortung. Vor diesem Hintergrund untersucht das Buch die Legalitat und die volkerrechtlichen Folgen des Einsatzes autonomer Waffensysteme. Es zeigt Wege fur kunftige internationale Regelungen auf und skizziert das Konzept einer 'geteilten Verantwortung' zwischen menschlichen Entscheidungstragern und intelligenten Systemen. Daniele Amoroso ist Professor fur Volkerrecht an der Universitat Cagliari und Mitglied des Internationalen Komitees fur die Kontrolle von Roboterwaffen (ICRAC).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book considers the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees’ contribution to international refugee law since the establishment of UNHCR by the United Nations General Assembly in 1951. The book explores the historical and statutory foundations that create an indelible link between UNHCR and international refugee law. This book charts the significant evolution that has occurred in the organisation’s role throughout the last sixty years, looking at both the formal means by which UNHCR’s mandate may be modified, and the techniques UNHCR has used to facilitate the changes in its role, thereby revealing a significant evolution in the organisation’s role since the onset of the crisis in refugee protection in the 1980’s. UNHCR, itself, has demonstrated its organizational autonomy as the primary agent for the adaptation of its responsibilities and work related to international refugee law. The author does suggest however that UNHCR needs to continue to extend and strengthen its role related to international refugee law if UNHCR is to ensure a stronger legal framework for the protection of refugees as well as a fuller respect for refugees’ rights in practice. UNHCR and International Refugee Law should be of particular interest to refugee lawyers as well as academics and students of refugee law and international law, and anyone concerned with the important role that UNHCR plays in the protection of refugees today.

Download or read book Introduction to the International Human Rights Regime written by Manfred Nowak and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-10-01 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human rights are the only universally recognized system of contemporary values which, during the last 50 years, has been gradually developed and defined by all States in a comprehensive international legal framework. The international human rights regime is closely related to international peace and security, development and a global trend towards pluralist democracy, good governance and the rule of law. International humanitarian and criminal law can today be considered as specific aspects of international human rights law, which after the end of the Cold War has become increasingly complex and difficult to oversee. The present textbook attempts to provide a first and at the same time comprehensive introduction into the idea and significance of human rights, its philosophical and theoretical foundations, historical development, the main structures and procedures of international human rights protection by the United Nations and regional organizations (Council of Europe, Organization of American States, African Union, OSCE and others), and modern trends, such as preventive mechanisms, international criminal law, human rights as essential elements of peace-keeping and peace-building operations, humanitarian intervention or the relationship between human rights and terrorism. The book perceives human rights as an inter-disciplinary topic and illustrates the theory of human rights with a considerable number of practical case-studies, graphics, statistics, procedural charts and textboxes. It serves as a textbook for students of law, political science, international relations and other academic fields related to human rights, but may as well be used as a first introduction for those working in the field, for NGO activists, legal practitioners and others interested in the fascinating world of universal human rights.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The growing diversity of national communities has generated pressures for the construction of new and more defensible forms of accommodating social cohesion and diversity. The central question of this book is whether it is possible to develop a defensible model for minority integration encompassing the traditional dichotomy 'old-new' minorities and which reconciles unity and diversity. The book contends that it is possible to address this issues by bridging two fields of research: minorities and migration. Studying the interaction and similarities between 'old' and 'new' minority groups is a rather new task because so far these topics have been studied in isolation. It is also an important task for future research within Europe as many states have established systems of 'old' minority rights, but have not yet developed sound policies for the integration of new minority groups originating from migration. The volume is a valuable resource for academics, scholars, advanced students --

Download or read book Global Human Rights Institutions written by Gerd Oberleitner and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-04-30 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The range of global human rights institutions which have been created over the past half century is a remarkable achievement. Yet, their establishment and proliferation raises important questions. Why do states create such institutions and what do they want them to achieve? Does this differ from what the institutions themselves seek to accomplish? Are global human rights institutions effective remedies for violations of human dignity or temples for the performance of stale bureaucratic rituals? What happens to human rights when they are being framed in global institutions? This book is an introduction to global human rights institutions and to the challenges and paradoxes of institutionalizing human rights. Drawing on international legal scholarship and international relations literature, it examines UN institutions with a human rights mandate, the process of mainstreaming human rights, international courts which adjudicate human rights, and non-governmental human rights organizations. In mapping the ever more complex network of global human rights institutions it asks what these institutions are and what they are for. It critically assesses and appraises the ways in which global institutions bureaucratize human rights, and reflects on how this process is changing our perception of human rights.
