Abstract:

This book continues the collaboration between the department of BioLaw of the University of Florence and the non-profit association Madre Provetta, to contribute to a project of study and research that can build towards a common European law on Bioethics. In view of the professional activity in which they are engaged, the authors are among the leading experts in their respective fields on the issues addressed. Biotechnologies have rendered both birth and death more complex, which explains why the approach must be multidisciplinary. In effect, the research ranges from the medical and scientific

Abstract:

Freedom of Expression as Self-Restraint rigorously expounds the principle of freedom of expression, and provides a novel justificatory foundation for it. Under that principle, a system of governance in any society can legitimately prohibit various modes of communication but cannot ever legitimately prohibit them qua modes of communication. As the book argues, such a principle is absolute in that it is exceptionless; it imposes general duties that are binding always and everywhere on every system of governance. In addition to injecting a new level of philosophical sophistication into the debate

Abstract:

Peter Jones argues that human rights can address violations of the determination principle, but cannot address violations of the selfhood principle. In this commentary, it is argued that international human rights norms should address both violations, for two key reasons. First, these violations are continuous in their underlying ideologies and in their effects on those whose rights to self-determination are denied. Second, international law was itself complicit in creating both categories of violations, and so has a special responsibility to correct them.

Abstract:

The Neoplatonists have a perfectionist view of freedom: an entity is free to the extent that it succeeds in making itself good. Free entities are wholly in control of themselves: they are self-determining, self-constituting, and self-knowing. Neoplatonist philosophers argue that such freedom is only possible for nonbodily things. The human soul is free insofar as it rises above bodily things and engages in intellection, but when it turns its desires to bodily things, it is drawn under the sway of fate and becomes enslaved. This book discusses this notion of freedom, and its relation to questio

Abstract:

In the domain of protection of the rights of the human person, the interaction between the international and national legal norms, with the primacy of the norm most favourable to the victims, contributes to the universality of the corpus juris of the International Law of Human Rights. This secures the unity and primacy of law (prééminence du droit, rule of law), in the light of the principle pro persona humana. The five panels have addressed, in the light of the principle of humanity, respectively: jurisdiction; responsibility; immunities; treaties; and other sources of international law. The

Abstract:

What are our responsibilities in the face of injustice? Many philosophers argue for what is called political obligation—the duty to obey the law of nearly just, legitimate states. Even proponents of civil disobedience generally hold that, given this moral duty, breaking the law requires justification. By contrast, activists from Henry David Thoreau to the Movement for Black Lives have long recognized a responsibility to resist injustice. Taking seriously this activism, this book wrestles with the problem of political obligation in real world societies that harbor injustice. It argues that the

This chapter discusses the eight principles of the ATT. Article 5(1) requires parties to implement the treaty while bearing in mind the principles set out. The principles cover the following issues: the right of states to self-defence; the settlement of international disputes by peaceful means; refraining from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state; non-intervention in matters essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of a state; respecting and ensuring respect for international humanitarian law and human rights; the responsibilit

Abstract:

This chapter addresses the issues that come with vehicle registration. The UN Model SOFA and NATO SOFA implicitly provide that service vehicles shall not be subject to registration by the Receiving State. Rather the Sending State—and in UN peace operations the UN Secretariat—bears responsibility for this. In addition, the NATO SOFA does not deal with the registration of private vehicles. The principle is therefore that of submission to the laws and regulations of the Receiving State. The question of insurance for service vehicles meanwhile is largely a moot one, as they are property of the Sen

Drawing on the empirical insights from chapter 5, chapter 6 develops the human rights theory of responsibility and outlines its key features. Although the theory has general applicability across contexts of global injustice, the chapter uses the work of the Bangladesh Center for Worker Solidarity (BCWS) to illustrate each of five key principles-in-practice: utilizing intersectional analysis, making cross-issue connections, building capacity for both self-advocacy and group advocacy, building community through connected activism, and learning and making an ongoing commitment to political respon

Abstract:

This chapter comments on Article 31 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. Article 31 describes what is known in most criminal justice systems by the terms ‘defences’, ‘excuses’, and ‘justifications’ for excluding criminal responsibility. It addresses several defences: insanity, intoxication, self-defence, duress, and necessity. It is followed by two other provisions, articles 32 and 33, defining specific defences. It is not apparent why articles 32 and 33 were not consolidated into the general provision, article 31. To the extent that they refute a charge, age (article 26),

The Trusteeship Council was established as a principal organ of the UN and charged with responsibility for assisting in the administration and supervision of ‘trust territories’. It carried out this function in relation to 11 trust territories between 1946 and 1994. On 25 May 1994, the process of self-government or independence for the people of Palau—the last remaining trust territory—was completed. On 1 November 1994, the Trusteeship Council suspended its functioning. Despite calls for its dissolution, the Trusteeship Council remains in existence and continues to meet periodically. However,

Abstract:

The responsibility to protect (R2P) and the question of UN Security Council veto constraint are intimately linked, but whilst the R2P has become increasingly embedded in diplomatic discourse and practice, the idea that in relation to it the Council’s five permanent members should recognize a ‘responsibility not to veto’ (RN2V) has fared less well. This chapter examines why this should be so. In its assessment of the prospects for, and pros and cons of, veto-restriction, the chapter argues that opposition amongst the P5 to the idea of a RN2V is unlikely to change in the foreseeable future, and

Abstract:

This volume explores the moral and legal aspects of omissions, with a view to understanding the principles that govern moral responsibility and legal liability for omissive conduct. Omissions are puzzling because, first, they appear to be nonentities, and, second, it appears paradoxical that one could be responsible or liable for something that, in some sense, doesn’t exist and that one might not even be aware of at the time it occurs. Many of this book’s contributors try to make sense of the possibility of moral responsibility for omissions, including those that occur unwittingly. The disagre

Abstract:

In international law, as in every legal system, rules are invariably subject to exceptions. This book brings together experts in legal theory and international law to investigate this phenomenon from both a theoretical and doctrinal perspective. It begins with several chapters looking at the relationship between rules and exceptions from different jurisprudential perspectives. These chapters serve to narrow down the principal types of exceptions, and what is at stake in deciding whether a given legal condition should be seen as part of a rule or as a self-standing exception.

It proposes a common conceptual and policy framework with a set of distinct but complementary responsibilities for governments, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), the private sector, and individuals themselves.

Abstract:

It is commonly recognized that in pursuit of climate justice we must navigate many conflicting claims over natural resources. This has long been obvious in the case of fossil fuels and greenhouse gas sinks including the atmosphere and forests; but it is ever more apparent that responses to climate change also threaten to spur new competition over land and extractive resources. This makes climate change an instance of a broader, more enduring and—for many—all too familiar problem: the problem of human conflict over how the natural world should be cared for, protected, shared, used, and managed.
