Abstract:

Given the dualist nature of the Australian legal system, the potential for the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) to impact on case law is seemingly limited. Nevertheless, a wide range of Australian courts have referenced the Convention in their judgments, and the Convention has certainly been used to bolster or support the reasoning of courts in a number of cases, with at least one court going as far as interpreting Convention provisions and using this interpretation to further the development of domestic law on disability rights. On the other hand, Australian courts

Abstract:

This chapter analyses how Russian courts have approached principles and standards of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) since its ratification by Russia in 2012. Given the monist features of the Russian legal system, the Convention has been used in a relatively large number of judgments. In the majority of cases the CRPD has been used only to reinforce the standards already provided by domestic laws. In a few cases, however, judges interpreted the Convention provisions to establish new legal concepts or to apply progressively Russian laws concerning human rights o

Abstract:

The European Court of Human Rights takes both hard law and soft law seriously, especially when it is necessary to adapt the wording of the European Convention on Human Rights to changed conditions in European societies and to explore what is called the ‘European consensus’. Nevertheless, the Court does not treat hard law and soft law in the same way. When clashes occur, it takes hard law more seriously than soft law. This finding can be linked to the acceptability and legitimacy of the Court’s jurisprudence. An interpretation of the Convention creating irreconcilable treaty obligations is gene

This chapter argues that our approach to jurisdiction—including Internet jurisdiction—is based on the misguided assumption that there is a universally held understanding of how the different types of jurisdiction must be categorised, both in private international law and in public international law as traditionally defined. As far as public international law goes, convention suggests that jurisdiction may be neatly divided into three categories; prescriptive jurisdiction, adjudicative jurisdiction, and enforcement jurisdiction.

Abstract The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG), on which this book is a commentary, has now gained worldwide acceptance. Since its entry into force on 1 January 1988, the number of Contracting States has risen to 94. Most notably, the Convention entered into force in Portugal in 2021. As of today, more than 80 per cent of the world’s trade in goods is therefore (potentially) governed by the Convention. Efforts to unify the law on the international sale of goods, which began in the 1920s, have thus succeeded to an extent far beyond the expectation

This chapter discusses the powerful FBI faction within the highest ranks of the CP, led by Morris Childs, who was quite effective in gumming up potentially far-reaching proposals and stoking internal conflict. This internecine conflict wracking the CP provided a plethora of headlines for the U.S. press, which in turn alienated actual and potential members. At the sixteenth convention of the CP in February 1957, there were seventy correspondents from newspapers, television, and radio, including journalists from Italy, Poland, and the Soviet Union, who did a credible job of presenting a portrait

As more and more people demand to know where their food comes from, and how it is produced, issues of place, power, and provenance assume increasing significance for producers, consumers, and regulators, challenging the corporate forces that shape the 'placeless foodscape'.

In the waste industry, even before the 1920s, a handful of entrepreneurs developed clear ecological arguments, and basic processes for sorting and recycling waste materials still used today.

For the three legal instruments under consideration, the relevant provisions are contained in Article 1 of Brussels 2012 and Lugano, and Articles 1 and 2 of Hague. A review of case law shows that the distinction between a civil matter and public matter is far from straightforward. There is a significant grey area in which the

Abstract The 1949 Geneva Conventions are the most important rules for armed conflict ever formulated. They continue to shape contemporary debates about regulating warfare. But their history is often misunderstood. For many observers, the drafters behind these treaties were primarily motivated by liberal humanitarian principles and the shock of the atrocities of the Second World War. This book tells a different story. It shows how the final text of the Conventions, far from being an unabashedly liberal blueprint, was the outcome of a series of political struggles among the drafters. It also con

Network analyses of global and regional arms flows (including small arms and light weapons, major conventional weapons, and weapons of mass destruction) and related international insecurity and criminality have so far been limited. Yet the literature contains hypotheses that could be explored or tested using network analysis. This chapter discusses supply and demand effects, structural tradeoffs between security and efficiency, pressures to become more or less centralized, and the effects of geography and other network layers. It concludes by reviewing existing data sets and analyses and gauge

This chapter looks at the work of the United Nations Security Council, which it states is, in addition to the United Nations conventions, central to global anti-terrorism efforts. The Security Council, as one of the principal organs of the United Nations (UN), is the body that the UN Charter vests with primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security. The chapter looks at the composition and running of the Security Council. Chapter VI of the UN Charter enables the Security Council to take certain measures in situations where the continuation of a dispute is likely

Scott, Naomi. Jokes in Greek Comedy. Bloomsbury Publishing Plc, 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.5040/9781350248526.

Abstract:

In ancient Greek comedy, nothing is ever ‘just a joke’. This book treats jokes with the seriousness they deserve, and shows that far from being mere surface-level phenomena, jokes in Greek comedy are in fact a site of poetic experimentation whose creative force expressly rivals that of serious literature. Focusing on the fragments of authors including Cratinus, Pherecrates, and Archippus alongside the extant plays of Aristophanes, Naomi Scott argues that jokes are critical to comedy’s engagement with the language and convention of poetic representation. More than this, she suggests that jokes

Abstract:

Abstract The book gives an account of international criminal law from the perspective of a formalist, positivist public international lawyer. It complements the usual consideration of the customary international crimes of genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and aggression and of the workings of the various international criminal courts and tribunals, past and present, with a fuller-than-usual treatment of the customary international rules governing national jurisdiction to prescribe and to enforce criminal law; of the raft of universal multilateral treaties defining and creating obl

Abstract:

Early Abbey staging and design was extremely simple, partly enforced by the limitations of their resources. Yeats’s ambitious experiments with the screens of Gordon Craig came to nothing. Initially, the Gate Theatre was established self-consciously as a theatrical alternative to the Abbey, open to European aesthetics, and concentrated on stage production and design, ideas articulated and exemplified by Micheál Mac Liammóir and Hilton Edwards in their design and direction work. However, the chapter argues that this conventional narrative overlooks the design work of Tanya Moiseiwitsch at the Ab

Abstract:

This book brings together leading experts in the fields of insurance and the law of obligations to consider how insurance law is attempting to deal with emerging risks. Emerging risks pose significant challenges for the insurance industry. Apart from difficulties in quantifying such risks, the availability of insurance capacity is often a concern. The book looks at these issues from philosophical, economic and actuarial perspectives. It asks how far existing private law rules can cope with emerging risks, and in so far as they cannot, how the law should be developed by courts and lawmakers to

Abstract:

Modern Sentimentalism examines how American female novelists reinvented sentimentalism in the modernist period. Just as the birth of the modern woman has long been imagined as the death of sentimental feeling, modernist literary innovation has been understood to reject sentimental aesthetics. Modern Sentimentalism reframes these perceptions of cultural evolution. Taking up icons such as the New Woman, the flapper, the free lover, the New Negro woman, and the divorcée, this book argues that these figures embody aspects of a traditional sentimentality while also recognizing sentiment as incompat

Abstract:

In the last two decades, traditional just war theory has been under attack. Critics, known as ‘revisionists’, have argued that its most fundamental principles are morally suspect. However, so far they have failed to propose a convincing alternative. These developments have resulted in a stalemate. While almost everybody would like to maintain the legal order set by the UN Charter and by the Geneva Conventions, there is currently no moral outlook that convincingly substantiates it. The purpose of the present book is to forge a way through this stalemate and show that wars can be morally justifi
