Sinclair: The International Civil Servant in Theory and Practice: Law, Morality, and Expertise

Guy Fiti Sinclair (Victoria Univ. of Wellington - Law) has posted The International Civil Servant in Theory and Practice: Law, Morality, and Expertise. Here's the abstract:

What is the place of international civil servants in international law? How much do they contribute to making the legal norms and institutions that govern states? To what extent does law sustain and constrain their authority? These important and difficult questions are raised, directly and indirectly, by several recent works that examine the life and legacy of Dag Hammarskjöld, the second and arguably most influential Secretary-General of the United Nations. While serving in that capacity during the crucial years of 1953-1961, at the height of the Cold War and decolonization and perhaps the most formative period of UN history, Hammarskjöld was intimately involved in the formulation of several legal innovations that have since become staples of UN activity, including preventive diplomacy and peacekeeping. Yet he has also been accused, both during his lifetime and more recently, of expanding the authority of his own office to the detriment of democratic government. Reflecting on these works, this review essay argues that the authority of international civil servants should be understood and analysed as operating through three distinct yet interconnected modalities of discourse and practice: legal, moral, and expert. By giving due attention to all three modalities, a more accurate picture may be formed of the conditions under which international civil servants are able to govern, and their relationship to international law. Moreover, a comprehensive account of the authority exercised by international civil servants must take account of how they respond to any tensions that may arise between their bases of authority, as well as their shifting relations with other ‘global governors.’

Belser, Fang-Bär, Massüger, & Oleschak Pillai: States Falling Apart? Secessionist and Autonomy Movements in Europe

Eva Maria Belser, Alexandra Fang-Bär, Nina Massüger, & Rekha Oleschak Pillai have published States Falling Apart? Secessionist and Autonomy Movements in Europe (Stämpfli Verlag 2015). Here's the abstract:

An increasing number of European countries are being faced with demands for greater autonomy or independence from regional groups. The legitimacy of nation states in Europe is thus being called into question not only by the forces of globalization and Europeanization from above, but also by growing pressure to recognize the autonomous or independent status of regional groups from below. From Scotland to Catalonia, from Flanders to South Tyrol, the movements vary in their intensity and demands, yet also have many commonalities. This book constitutes a compilation of papers presented at the international Conference «States Falling Apart? Secessionist and Autonomy Movements in Europe» at the University of Fribourg in 2013 and is a timely addition to the literature on secession, autonomy and federalism. With theoretical contributions and case studies, it presents a wide range of opinions and facts on these issues.

Kleinheisterkamp: Investment Treaty Law and the Fear for Sovereignty: Transnational Challenges and Solutions

Jan Kleinheisterkamp (London School of Economics - Law) has published Investment Treaty Law and the Fear for Sovereignty: Transnational Challenges and Solutions (Modern Law Review, Vol. 78, no. 5, pp. 793–825, September 2015). Here's the abstract:

This article addresses the vagueness, and the interpretative challenges associated with, international investment agreements (IIAs) and develops a new normative framework for interpreting these treaties. It focuses on the historical embedding of investment protection as a means of facilitating economic development as well as upon its synthetic public law nature. The analysis shows that a teleological approach to interpretation imposes boundaries on the meaning of substantive IIA provisions. The article then elaborates how the transnational dimension of IIAs provides a benchmark, which is the level of protection offered to economic actors against interference by the state in countries with the highest rule of law standards. The article then shows how the resulting challenges of comparative public law could be addressed through the methodology of re- and pre-statement of transnational uniform ‘principles’: sophisticated and detailed rules striking the proper balance between private economic interests and the public regulatory interest, so as to provide more legal certainty for both investors and host states.

Adam: Die Strafbarkeit juristischer Personen im Völkerstrafrecht

Jendrik Adam has published Die Strafbarkeit juristischer Personen im Völkerstrafrecht (Nomos 2015). Here's the abstract:

Die Strafbarkeit juristischer Personen sollte nach Völkerstrafrecht möglich sein, weil sie in Völkerrechtsverbrechen verwickelt sind, aber – wie die Historie des Völkerstrafrechts zeigt – keine ausreichenden Instrumente zur Sanktionierung existieren. Auch jenseits des Strafrechts untersuchte zwischenstaatliche und nationale Alternativen zur Sanktionierung vermögen das Bedürfnis nach einer solchen Strafbarkeit nicht befriedigen.

Der Autor weist nach, dass eine Sanktionierung juristischer Personen als allgemeiner Rechtsgrundsatz im Völkerrecht existiert. Als Beleg dafür wurden u.a. 47 nationale Rechtssystemen untersucht. Die Vereinbarkeit der Strafbarkeit juristischer Personen mit dem Völkerstrafrecht wird schließlich anhand der Handlungs-, Schuld- und Straffähigkeit sowie anhand des Komplementaritätsprinzip diskutiert und gelöst. Abschließend entwickelt der Autor ein Strafbarkeitsmodell, welches insbesondere auf der Zurechnungstheorie basiert und ins Römische Statut integriert werden kann.

Kassoti: The Juridical Nature of Unilateral Acts of States in International Law

Eva Kassoti (Hague Univ. of Applied Sciences) has published The Juridical Nature of Unilateral Acts of States in International Law (Brill | Nijhoff 2015). Here's the abstract:

In The Juridical Nature of Unilateral Acts of States in International Law Eva Kassoti explores the question of the legal nature of unilateral acts by focusing on their essential characteristics, namely unilateralism and the manifest intention to be bound. By analysing the legal and factual context surrounding the making of unilateral acts, this volume offers a list of indicators of the elements of unilateralism and manifest intention that will facilitate the determination of the existence of a unilateral juridical act in practice. Kassoti explores the legal nature of unilateral acts from the viewpoint of the theory of international juridical acts and thus, attests to the validity of this theory as a comprehensive framework for the analysis of all juridical acts in international law.
