Описание: In the second edition of Regional Protection of Human Rights, Dinah Shelton examines the development of regional organizations and the role that human rights plays in them.
Описание: The high civilian death toll in modern, protracted conflicts such as those in Syria or Iraq indicate the limits of international law in offering protections to civilians at risk. A recent conference of states convened by the International Committee of the Red Cross referred to ‘an institutional vacuum in the area of international humanitarian law implementation’. Yet both international humanitarian law and the law of human rights establish a series of rights intended to protect civilians. But which law or laws apply in a particular situation, and what are the obstacles to their implementation? How can the law offer greater protections to civilians caught up in new methods of warfare, such as drone strikes, or targeted by new forms of military organisation, such as transnational armed groups? Can the implementation gap be filled by the growing use of human rights courts to remedy violations of the laws of armed conflict, or are new instruments or mechanisms of civilian legal protection needed? This volume brings together contributions from leading academic authorities and legal practitioners on the situation of civilians in the grey zone between human rights and the laws of war. The chapters in Part 1 address key contested or boundary issues in defining the rights of civilians or non-combatants in today’s conflicts. Those in Part 2 examine remedies and current mechanisms for redress both at the international and national level, and those in Part 3 assess prospects for the development of new mechanisms for addressing violations. As military intervention to protect civilians remains contested, this volume looks at the potential for developing alternative approaches to the protection of civilians and their rights.

Описание: Investment treaties confer generous rights on foreign investors. Substantive Protection under Investment Treaties provides the first systematic analysis of the consequences of such protections, and asks whether investment treaties should provide a higher or lower level of protection than they currently do.
Описание: The extent of human suffering arising from armed conflicts, forced displacement, and natural disasters is unfortunately well known. Yet pitted against such forces of destruction are individuals, local communities, and international organisations responding to the humanitarian imperative to alleviate suffering wherever it may be found. The twin components of humanitarian action-encompassing material assistance and the protection of persons-therefore provide a counter-balance to the serious harms that humans and nature can create. Recent years have seen an exponential growth in such humanitarian activities and in related legal and policy instruments. Consequently, one can identify an interconnected web of laws, policies, and practices, rooted in the principles of humanity and human dignity, which address the preparation for and provision of material support and legal protection for people caught up in humanitarian crises. Drawing from existing bodies of international law, such as the law of armed conflict, human rights law, and international disaster law, it is possible to discern an acquis humanitaire (or 'law of humanitarian assistance'). This book explores both the conceptual framework and normative content of such an acquis humanitaire, and argues that the law continues to play an important role in the protection of persons in humanitarian crises.

This book analyses the legal approach to personal data taken by different fields of law. An increasing number of business models in the digital economy rely on personal data as a key input. In exchange for sharing their data, online users benefit from personalized and innovative services. But companies’ collection and use of personal data raise questions about privacy and fundamental rights. Moreover, given the substantial commercial and strategic value of personal data, their accumulation, control and use may raise competition concerns and negatively affect consumers. To establish a legal framework that ensures an adequate level of protection of personal data while at the same time providing an open and level playing field for businesses to develop innovative data-based services is a challenging task.
With this objective in mind and against the background of the uniform rules set by the EU General Data Protection Regulation, the contributions to this book examine the significance and legal treatment of personal data in competition law, consumer protection law, general civil law and intellectual property law. Instead of providing an isolated analysis of the different areas of law, the book focuses on both synergies and tensions between the different legal fields, exploring potential ways to develop an integrated legal approach to personal data.

Описание:
The first edition of Public Policies for Environmental Protection contributed significantly to the incorporation of economic analysis in the study of environmental policy. Fully revised to account for changes in the institutional, legal, and regulatory framework of environmental policy, the second edition features updated chapters on the EPA and federal regulation, air and water pollution policy, and hazardous and toxic substances. It includes entirely new chapters on market-based environmental policies, global climate change, solid waste, and, for the first time, coverage of the Safe Drinking Water Act. Portney, Stavins, and their contributors provide an invaluable resource for researchers, policymakers, industry professionals, and journalists---anyone who needs up-to-date information on U.S. environmental policy. With their careful explanation of policy alternatives, the authors provide an ideal book for students in courses about environmental economics or environmental politics.
