The Law of U.S. Foreign Relations
Author: Sean D. Murphy
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199361975
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 1065
Book Description
The Law of U.S. Foreign Relations is a comprehensive and incisive discussion of the rules that govern the conduct of U.S. relations with foreign countries and international organizations, and the rules governing how international law applies within the U.S. legal system. Among other topics, this volume examines the constitutional and historical foundations of congressional, executive, and judicial authority in foreign affairs. This includes the constitutional tensions prevalent in legislative efforts to control executive diplomacy, as well as the ebb and flow of judicial engagement in transnational disputes - with the judiciary often serving as umpire but at times invoking doctrines of abstention. The process of U.S. adherence to treaties and other international agreements is closely scrutinized as the authors examine how such law, as well as customary international law and the law-making acts of international organizations, can become a source of U.S. law. Individual chapters focus on the special challenges posed by the exercise of war powers by the federal government (including during recent incidents of international armed conflict), the complex role of the several states in foreign affairs, and the imperative to protect individual rights in the transnational sphere. Among the contemporary issues discussed are the immunity of foreign heads of State, treatment of detainees at Guantánamo, movement of the U.S. Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, state-level foreign compacts to address climate change, bans affecting refugees and asylum-seekers, and recent interpretations of key statutes, such as the Alien Tort Statute, the Torture Victim Protection Act, and the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act.

The Creation of States in International Law
Author: James R. Crawford
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0191511951
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 943
Book Description
Statehood in the early 21st century remains as much a central problem as it was in 1979 when the first edition of The Creation of States in International Law was published. As Rhodesia, Namibia, the South African Homelands and Taiwan then were subjects of acute concern, today governments, international organizations, and other institutions are seized of such matters as the membership of Cyprus in the European Union, application of the Geneva Conventions to Afghanistan, a final settlement for Kosovo, and, still, relations between China and Taiwan. All of these, and many other disputed situations, are inseparable from the nature of statehood and its application in practice. The remarkable increase in the number of States in the 20th century did not abate in the twenty five years following publication of James Crawford's landmark study, which was awarded the American Society of International Law Prize for Creative Scholarship in 1981. The independence of many small territories comprising the 'residue' of the European colonial empires alone accounts for a major increase in States since 1979; while the disintegration of Yugoslavia and the USSR in the early 1990s further augmented the ranks. With these developments, the practice of States and international organizations has developed by substantial measure in respect of self-determination, secession, succession, recognition, de-colonization, and several other fields. Addressing such questions as the unification of Germany, the status of Israel and Palestine, and the continuing pressure from non-State groups to attain statehood, even, in cases like Chechnya or Tibet, against the presumptive rights of existing States, James Crawford discusses the relation between statehood and recognition; the criteria for statehood, especially in view of evolving standards of democracy and human rights; and the application of such criteria in international organizations and between states. Also discussed are the mechanisms by which states have been created, including devolution and secession, international disposition by major powers or international organizations and the institutions established for Mandated, Trust, and Non-Self-Governing Territories. Combining a general argument as to the normative significance of statehood with analysis of numerous specific cases, this fully revised and expanded second edition gives a comprehensive account of the developments which have led to the birth of so many new states.

CONCEPTS OF INTERNATIONAL TREATIES
Author: JOSEPH IDIGO
Publisher: American Academic Press
ISBN: 1631814648
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 619
Book Description
This book deals extensively with commentaries on all articles in the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties 1969. The book starts with the introduction to treaty and, then, the management of treaties that brings in, as a starting point, the International Law Commission (ILC) and the mandate it received for the codifying of customary international laws and enhancing the progressive development of international law. After this part, the book, then, goes into dealing with each article in the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (VCLT) 1969. Each article is backed by the various activities of the Law Commission that gave rise to it. Then, there are relevant references (in footnotes) that make the contents of each article richer and more explanatory. Each chapter ends with a summary to help the reader easily and quickly remember the highlights of the treated article in that chapter. This process continues till article 85 VCLT, the last article in the VCLT. The realization that Treaty Law is an important aspect of International Law is the main motivation for writing this book. Thus, it is suitable for all international law practitioners and international organizations.

From the Labyrinth of the World to the Paradise of the Heart
Author: Vincenzo Pavone
Publisher: Lexington Books
ISBN: 9780739122624
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 278
Book Description
While there is an ever-growing body of literature on the economic, cultural, and political aspects of globalization, there are no critical, up-to-date studies on its philosophical and ideological underpinnings. Vincenzo Pavone fills this gap in the literature by analyzing one of the most interesting actors operating on a global scale: the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Assessing the influence of both seventeenth- and nineteenth-century scientific humanism on the ideas of Julian Huxley, the founding father of modern scientific humanism and the first director of UNESCO, the author discusses the changes that have occurred in UNESCO's self-perception, identity, and vision of globalization, particularly within the context of its four programs-MOST, IBC, the Dakar Framework for Action, and the CCP. Pavone further explores the relationship between scientific humanism and the development of UNESCO, showing how scientific humanism affected the history of UNESCO by inspiring a conception of the organization as truly global.
