Fortuna, et al.: Customary International Law and Its Interpretation by International Courts: Theories, Methods and Interactions

Marina Fortuna (Rijksuniversiteit Groningen), Kostia Gorobets (Rijksuniversiteit Groningen), Panos Merkouris (Rijksuniversiteit Groningen), Andreas Føllesdal (Universitetet i Oslo), Geir Ulfstein (Universitetet i Oslo), & Pauline Westerman (Rijksuniversiteit Groningen) have published Customary International Law and Its Interpretation by International Courts: Theories, Methods and Interactions (Cambridge Univ. Press 2024). The table of contents is here. Here's the abstract:

It is notorious that international courts and tribunals have greatly contributed to the development of customary international law (CIL) by, for instance, articulating the constituent elements of custom and clarifying the conditions required for its modification. This volume demonstrates that they have also been actively engaged in the interpretation of CIL. In elucidating CIL interpretation before and by international courts and tribunals, the volume chooses three focal points: theory, method and normative interactions. Viewing CIL and its interpretation from these vantage points leads to a more complete picture of the role and function of CIL interpretation in international courts. The volume encourages readers to question orthodox theories on CIL and its interpretation, to look anew at what has long been labelled mere identification of custom, and to take a systemic approach to CIL, which, even in the process of interpretation, remains unwaveringly connected to treaties and general principles of law.

Mulgrew & Christensen: Research Handbook on the Punishment of Atrocity Crimes

Róisín Mulgrew (Univ. of Galway - Law) & Mikkel Jarle Christensen (Univ. of Copenhagen - Law) have published Research Handbook on the Punishment of Atrocity Crimes (Edward Elgar Publishing 2024). The table of contents is here. Here's the abstract:

This Research Handbook examines the punishment of atrocity crime and presents a wide-ranging critique of post-conviction law, policy and practice. With a team of expert contributing authors, Róisín Mulgrew and Mikkel Jarle Christensen provide insights into the impact and implications of punishment models, strategies and frameworks.

Taking a multidisciplinary approach, chapters analyse the work of international criminal courts and tribunals, as well as domestic criminal, military and traditional justice systems. Authors utilise a wide range of research methods and tools to bring the impact of different penalties, sentencing policies and sentence enforcement models to light. They also outline the implications of release and post-release strategies for a variety of stakeholders, such as accused persons, courts, states and wider society. Individually and collectively, these contributions add to a growing body of literature on how punishment can prevent and address atrocity crime, while also challenging contemporary assumptions about systems of punishment.

De Coninck: The EU’s Human Rights Responsibility Gap: Deconstructing Human Rights Impunity of International Organisations

Joyce De Coninck (Ghent Univ.) has published The EU’s Human Rights Responsibility Gap: Deconstructing Human Rights Impunity of International Organisations (Hart Publishing 2024). Here's the abstract:

Can the EU be held legally responsible for its contributions to human rights harms in its Integrated Border Management policy? Or do systemic legal design flaws in the EU's human rights responsibility regime give rise to a significant responsibility gap?

This book delves into these pressing questions, offering a transversal analysis of applicable legal frameworks under international and EU law. Divided into three parts, the book first analyses the international and EU human rights responsibility frameworks, revealing both 'normative incongruency' as well as 'liability incongruency'. Part two applies these frameworks to specific illustrations within the four tiers of the EU's Integrated Border Management, exposing the critical points where responsibility falters. Building on these findings and drawing from shared responsibility and relationality theories, part three briefly introduces 'Relational Human Rights Responsibility' as an alternative method to ascertaining human rights responsibility of the EU specifically, and international organisations more generally.

Linderfalk & De Brabandere: International Law and the Significance of Disciplinary Boundaries: Special Regimes as Communities of Practice

Ulf Linderfalk (Lunds Universitet) & Eric De Brabandere (Universiteit Leiden) have published International Law and the Significance of Disciplinary Boundaries: Special Regimes as Communities of Practice (Cambridge Univ. Press 2024). Here's the abstract:

Over the last thirty or so years, international law and legal practice have become increasingly more specialized and diversified. These developments come with an increasingly divergent legal practice, in what has been coined as 'special regimes'. This book proposes a new understanding of the concept of a special regime to explain why specialists in different fields of international law do similar things differently. It argues that special regimes are best conceived as communities of practice, in the sense of Etienne Wenger's theory of communities of practice. It explores how the theory of communities of practice translates to the context of international law and the concept of a special regime. The authors draw up an innovative methodology to investigate their theory, focused on the conduct of community members, and apply this method to selected case studies, offering an original approach to the understanding of the special regimes in international law.
