Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the centrality of Hague Law to the lawful prosecution of warfare, the relative paucity of dedicated works is surprising. The general formulation of Hague Law rules is largely uncontroversial, but this clarity stands in stark contrast to their interpretation and practical application. How precisely, for instance, the fundamental rules of distinction and proportionality in attack are to dictate and constrain the planning and practice of warfare continues to be highly uncertain. This important new publication fills the gap in the literature. Offering a comprehensive assessment of Hague Law, it explores questions of definitions and accountability and navigates the substantive rules and their application to different types of warfare.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rules of treaty interpretation codified in the 'Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties' now apply to virtually all treaties, in an international context as well as within national legal systems, where treaties have an impact on a large and growing range of matters. The rules of treaty interpretation differ somewhat from typical rules for interpreting legal instruments and legislation within national legal systems. Lawyers, administrators, diplomats, and officials at international organisations are increasingly likely to encounter issues of treaty interpretation which require not only knowledge of the relevant rules of interpretation, but also how these rules have been, and are to be, applied in practice. Since the codified rules of treaty interpretation came into decree, there is a considerable body of case-law on their application. This case-law, combined with the history and analysis of the rules of treaty interpretation, provides a basis for understanding this most important task in the application of treaties internationally and within national systems of law. Any lawyer who ever has to consider international matters, and increasingly any lawyer whose work involves domestic legislation with any international connection, is at risk nowadays of encountering a treaty provision which requires interpretation, whether the treaty provision is explicitly in issue or is the source of the relevant domestic legislation. This fully updated new edition features case law from a broader range of jurisdictions, and an account of the work of the International Law Commission in its relation to interpretative declarations. This book provides a guide to interpreting treaties properly in accordance with the modern rules.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes how the Appellate Body uses particular principles of general international law in interpreting the WTO covered agreements. It deals equally with general international law and WTO law. The aim is to explain how the Appellate Body interprets and applies customary international law on treaty interpretation in dealing with the WTO covered agreements. The main concern is to analyze the judicial reasoning and ways of justifying judicial decision-making. In particular, it answers the question of how the Appellate Body explains its reading of WTO treaty language. It is argued that the Appellate Body has interpreted the WTO covered agreements in a contextual and effective manner, an approach that corresponds with general international law. The character of the WTO covered agreements has, nevertheless, confronted the Appellate Body with some questions of interpretation that were until recently unexplored or neglected by other courts and tribunals. In that sense, the Appellate Body has contributed to the development of general international law on treaty interpretation, or at least to its practice. WTO law is primarily treaty law, but increasingly soft law and broader themes and values from other disciplines, such as governance, variable geometry and legitimacy, are introduced and discussed. Customary international law - with the exception of the principles of treaty interpretation - and general principles of law are often seen as excluded entirely. An ancillary theme of this proposed monograph is the extent to which customary international law and general principles of law have penetrated WTO law through the technique of treaty interpretation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from International Law, Vol. 1 of 2: Chiefly as Interpreted and Applied by the United States Some years ago Professor John H. Wigmore, Dean of the Law School of Northwestern University, suggested to the author the preparation of a treatise reflecting what might be called the American conception of international law. That work was then begun. Out of it have grown the present volumes. They em body the results of a study of international law chiefly as it has been interpreted and applied by the United States. They express an attempt primarily to portray what the United States, through the agencies of its executive, legislative and judicial departments, has deemed to be the law of nations. It is not suggested that in legal contemplation there exists an American international law as distinct from that which meces sarily prevails throughout the society of civilized States. It is believed, however, that the views of the Department of State (embracing by implication those of the President), of the Con gress, and of the Courts of the United States, together with those of certain other governmental agencies, give expression to an authentic American understanding of what the principles of international law really are. Such an understanding is entitled to thorough examination and critical analysis; for it constitutes the only scientific basis for the formulation of principles in reliance upon which the United States, Whether at the Hague or elsewhere, may participate intelligently and worthily in the common effort to render the law of nations closely responsive to the just and changing demands of civilization. Clearness of thought concern ing rules which any State may soundly press for adoption in a codification designed for general approval imposes, as a condi tion precedent, an exact enunciation of what are conceived to be the, existing requirements of international law. The scope of the present work necessarily calls for the treat ment of numerous matters which, however closely associated with the international obligations of the United States, refer primarily to the domestic activities of an independent State in pursuance of its fundamental law. Thus, in relation to topics bearing. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
