The renewed attention to the concept of authority in the literature of international law and international relations has allowed to gain a better understanding of the phenomenon of authority in international affairs. But even recent works remain focused on ‘authority figures’ in the form of persons, offices and institutions. Building on an approach proposed by Kim Scheppele and Karol Soltan, this article frames authority as a matter of attractiveness in a choice situation, showing a way to go beyond the dominant actor-focused conception of authority. What it proposes, in particular, is to revisit the existing understanding of authority by shifting the focus from authority figures to authoritative resources. The practice of authority assertions and authority contestations in international law shows that rather than being ‘agent-centered’, claims and challenges to authority primarily turn around attributes that pass for ‘authoritative resources’ in the relevant contexts.

Le Floch: La Cour africaine des droits de l’homme
Si le protocole instituant la Cour africaine des droits de l’homme et des peuples a été adopté à Ouagadougou le 9 juin 1998, il fallut cependant attendre le 2 juillet 2006 pour que cette nouvelle juridiction soit officiellement installée à Arusha (Tanzanie). S’inscrivant dans la lignée des cours européenne et interaméricaine des droits de l’homme, la Cour africaine des droits de l’homme et des peuples n’en présente pas moins certaines spécificités.
Après quelques années d’oisiveté à ses débuts, la Cour s’est progressivement retrouvée à faire face à un afflux de plaintes émanant d’individus dans le courant des années 2010. Depuis cette date, elle peut pleinement remplir son office. La Cour contribue de manière décisive à la protection des droits de l’homme à l’échelle du continent africain, en statuant sur de nombreuses plaintes dont certaines ont des implications politiques et sociales très fortes. Elle est en outre parvenue, à travers les multiples décisions rendues dans l’exercice de sa compétence contentieuse et de sa compétence consultative, à édifier une véritable jurisprudence.
En dépit de ces avancées significatives, la Cour africaine des droits de l’homme et des peuples est aujourd’hui confrontée à de multiples défis. Elle doit, en premier lieu, trouver sa place sur le continent africain face à d’autres institutions. Il lui faut s’affirmer face à l’Union africaine mais également face aux multiples juridictions sous-régionales dont certaines ont des compétences expresses dans le domaine des droits de l’homme. En deuxième lieu, il lui faut faire face, si ce n’est à l’hostilité, aux moins aux réticences d’un certain nombre d’Etats africains. Elle doit les convaincre de ratifier le protocole de Ouagadougou ainsi que de faire une déclaration spéciale acceptant sa compétence – condition sine qua non pour que les individus aient accès à son prétoire. Elle doit par ailleurs les convaincre d’exécuter les ordonnances et arrêts qu’elle rend et dont ils sont les destinataires. Enfin, en troisième lieu, la Cour ne doit ni plus ni moins que préserver son existence. En effet, l’année même où le protocole de Ouagadougou est entré en vigueur, les chefs d’Etat et de gouvernement de l’Union africaine décidèrent de fusionner la Cour africaine des droits de l’homme et des peuples avec la Cour de justice de l’Union africaine, pour des raisons d’efficacité et d’effectivité. Le protocole réalisant cette fusion a été adopté en 2008 mais n’est toujours pas entré en vigueur.
La Cour africaine des droits de l’homme et des peuples est véritablement à la croisée des chemins. Alors qu’elle est en train de prendre progressivement son envol, de nombreuses menaces pèsent sur elle.
A travers différentes contributions d’universitaires et de praticiens, cet ouvrage a pour objet de revenir sur l’activité de la Cour africaine des droits de l’homme et des peuples et de s’interroger sur son avenir à un moment particulièrement crucial pour elle.
Eom & Helfer: Human Rights Litigation Before Sub-Regional Courts in East and West Africa
Jo Un Eom & Laurence R. Helfer (Duke Univ. - Law) have posted Human Rights Litigation Before Sub-Regional Courts in East and West Africa (in The Oxford Handbook of Comparative Human Rights Law, Neha Jain & Mila Versteeg eds., forthcoming). Here's the abstract:
This chapter reviews the human rights jurisprudence of the East African Court of Justice (EACJ) and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Court of Justice (ECCJ). The chapter divides the case law of the two courts into three categories: (1) “strategic litigation” filed by NGOs, bar associations, or other interest groups that seek to have a systemic impact on improving human rights in the respondent country; (2) “individual justice” suits filed by individual victims seeking redress for violations of their rights with little consideration of the broader context; and (3) “high-politics” cases in which members of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government, as well as opposition politicians or parties, challenge to national elections or other important political decisions. In general, the EACJ and ECCJ have been sympathetic venues for human rights litigation by civil society organizations, individuals, and high-profile political actors. However, the courts have also experienced significant opposition from some member states. This resistance has taken the form of noncompliance and trenchant public criticisms from executive officials and national courts.

Lagrange & Dubin: Les inégalités et leurs manifestations en droit international
Inégalité. La notion peut sembler à la fois commune et fuyante, le phénomène peut sembler objectivé, puisque quantifiable, mais subjectif selon la perception de chacun (peut-être elle-même socialement déterminée). Pourtant, un constat s’impose : les inégalités sont partout, protéiformes (de revenu, d’accès au droit, d’accès aux services de base, à l’éducation, à la reconnaissance…) et multifactorielles (liées au genre, à l’origine sociale, à la résidence, intersectionnelles, etc.) ; elles se laissent mesurer et comparer au plan national, européen et international ; elles peuvent être freinées, simplement permises, ou favorisées voire amplifiées, objectivement ou par suite d’un calcul assumé, par les institutions juridiques internationales et européennes.
Egalité, disparités, inégalités, discriminations… Comment ces notions sont-elles construites et définies en droit international et européen, dans leurs deux dimensions, publique comme privée ? Comment s’opère le passage de l’une à l’autre et des notions ou des principes politiques aux principes de droit ? Comment expliquer et peut-être corriger des constructions qui, sous le fronton du principe d’égalité, organisent et codifient des inégalités ou les ignorent et les rejettent dans un autre ordre juridique ?
Le présent ouvrage, issu d’une Journée d’étude du Département de droit international et européen de l’Ecole de droit de la Sorbonne, regroupe les contributions originales de doctorants en droit international public, privé et européen sur les concepts et les principes, les inégalités dans les relations entre Etats, les inégalités dans les pratiques institutionnelles et juridictionnelles et les vulnérabilités dans la pratique juridique.
Bradley, Costello, & Sherwood: IOM Unbound? Obligations and Accountability of the International Organization for Migration in an Era of Expansion
It is an era of expansion for the International Organization for Migration (IOM), an increasingly influential actor in the global governance of migration. Bringing together leading experts in international law and international relations, this collection examines the dynamics and implications of IOM's expansion in a new way. Analyzing IOM as an international organization (IO), the book illuminates the practices, obligations and accountability of this powerful but controversial actor, advancing understanding of IOM itself and broader struggles for IO accountability. The contributions explore key, yet often under-researched, IOM activities including its role in humanitarian emergencies, internal displacement, data collection, ethical labour recruitment, and migrant detention. Offering recommendations for reforms rooted in empirical evidence and careful normative analysis, this is a vital resource for all those interested in the obligations and accountability of international organizations, and in the field of migration. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Freeman & Taylor: Research Handbook on International Child Abduction: The 1980 Hague Convention
With a focus on the 1980 Hague Convention, this cutting-edge Research Handbook provides a holistic overview of the law on international child abduction from prevention, through voluntary agreements and Convention proceedings, to post-return and aftercare issues.
Discussing the repercussions of abduction from the perspectives of both abducted children and the therapeutic and family justice professionals engaged in their cases, chapters consider the contributions of the many professionals and key agencies involved in the field. Identifying the 1980 Hague Convention as the principal global instrument for dealing with child abduction, the Research Handbook traces its role, history, development and impact, alongside the mechanisms required for its effective use. Evaluating current trends, areas of concern in legal/judicial practice and various regional initiatives, it also considers alternatives to high-conflict court proceedings in international child abduction cases. The Convention’s strengths, successes, weaknesses and gaps are discussed, and the Research Handbook concludes by addressing how best to tackle the challenges in its future operation.

«O advento da denominada globalização e a intensificação das relações internacionais de índole pública e privada dela decorrentes, que marcam a nossa época, evidenciaram não apenas a acrescida importância do Direito Internacional Público e do Direito Internacional Privado na vida dos Estados, das organizações internacionais, das empresas e dos indivíduos, mas também o crescente entrelaçamento entre estas duas disciplinas.»
As regras e os princípios que integram o Direito Internacional Público desempenham, com efeito, um papel do maior relevo tanto na modelação como na aplicação dos do Direito Internacional Privado, em qualquer das suas vertentes – conflitos de leis, competência internacional, reconhecimento de sentenças e cooperação judiciária internacional –; do mesmo passo que os do Direito Internacional Público – mercê designadamente da emergência dos indivíduos e das pessoas coletivas privadas como sujeitos de Direito Internacional – não podem hoje prescindir do recurso a conceitos e critérios próprios do Direito Internacional Privado a fim de desempenharem a sua função devida. […]
A justifica-se, Enciclopédia Luso-Brasileira de Direito Internacional porém, por uma outra ordem de razões que importa deixar aqui expressa. Ela prende-se com a importância fundamental que os dois referidos ramos da disciplina jurídica das relações internacionais ganhou ao longo das últimas cinco décadas no espaço do que é hoje a Comunidade de Países de Língua Portuguesa; relações marcadas por um forte entrosamento não só dos Estados que a compõem, mas também da sociedade civil de cada um deles, bem patente na intensa circulação de pessoas e bens (materiais e culturais) através das respetivas fronteiras e nos laços pessoais entre os respetivos cidadãos que ela permitiu forjar.»

Alland: Représentations du droit international public
Tout internationaliste reconnaîtra dans cet ouvrage de la collection Doctrine(s) certaines contributions qu’il a déjà lues et qui ont nourri son intelligence du droit international et du monde. Il pourra alors souhaiter les laisser de côté pour s’aventurer dans des domaines où il n’avait pas encore rencontré Denis Alland.
Ce serait cependant ne pas tenir compte du fait que tous les thèmes développés — les espaces, la protection des personnes, les rapports entre droit international et droit interne, les responsabilités, l’interprétation, les violences et finalement l’existence même du droit international public et ses caractéristiques — sont aujourd’hui à revisiter.
Ces pans fondamentaux du droit international et de la réflexion sur l’organisation du monde font l’objet de profonds bouleversements dans un monde en ébullition dont la compréhension exige une lecture à plusieurs niveaux qu’offre Denis Alland qui s’appuie pour ce faire sur une immense culture.
Penseur de la complexité, l’auteur, jamais, n’assène une vérité, mais préfère, au contraire, interroger sans cesse. Chaque sujet est ainsi analysé sous différents angles, analytique, philosophique, historique, linguistique et critique, dans une cohérence de pensée et d’analyse qui constitue une véritable « doctrine » du droit international qui prend un tour engagé dans les écrits sur les violences.

Helleiner: The Contested World Economy: The Deep and Global Roots of International Political Economy
The rapid growth of the field of international political economy since the 1970s has revived an older tradition of thought from the pre-1945 era. The Contested World Economy provides the first book-length analysis of these deep intellectual roots of the field, revealing how earlier debates about the world economy were more global and wide-ranging than usually recognized. Helleiner shows how pre-1945 pioneers of international political economy included thinkers from all parts of the world rather than just those from Europe and the United States featured in most textbooks. Their discussions also went beyond the much-studied debate between economic liberals, neomercantilists, and Marxists, and addressed wider topics, including many with contemporary relevance, such as environmental degradation, gender inequality, racial discrimination, religious worldviews, civilizational values, national self-sufficiency, and varieties of economic regionalism. This fascinating history of ideas sheds new light on current debates and the need for a global understanding of their antecedents.

Mignot-Mahdavi: Drones and International Law: A Techno-Legal Machinery
Through an analysis of the use of drones, Rebecca Mignot-Mahdavi explores the ways in which, in the context of counterterrorism, war, technology and the law interact and reshape one another. She demonstrates that drone programs are techno-legal machineries that facilitate and accelerate the emergence of a new kind of warfare. This new model of warfare is individualized and de-materialized in the sense that it focuses on threat anticipation and thus consists in identifying dangerous figures (individualized warfare) rather than responding to acts of hostilities (material warfare). Revolving around threat anticipation, drone wars endure over an extensive timeframe and geographical area, to the extent that the use of drones may even be seen, as appears to be the case for the United States, as part of the normal functioning of the state, with profound consequences for the international legal order.

Bendel: Litigating the Environment: Process and Procedure Before International Courts and Tribunals
Providing an insightful contribution to literature on the topic, this book scrutinises how international courts and tribunals may respond procedurally to an ever-growing list of environmental disputes. In a time of environmental crisis, it lays crucial groundwork for strengthening the application of international environmental law, a topic of increasing relevance for global civil society.
Putting into perspective the practices of various international courts and tribunals, the author works within the constraints of the existing judicial framework to sharpen international environmental justice and governance. Bendel provides judges and litigators with tools that they can use when confronted with environmental disputes, to extract the best practices in the interest of improving environmental litigation for each phase of a judicial procedure.

Barreiro Carril, Jakubowski, & Lixinski: 15 Years of the UNESCO Diversity of Cultural Expressions Convention: Actors, Processes and Impact
This book queries, through the prism of the Convention for the Protection and the Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions (the Convention), the ways in which the processes and substance of international law-making have shifted in response to new technologies and new actors. The essays, written by recognised experts in the field, engage deeply with the practice under the Convention. The 4 parts examine: the rise of new actors and their impact on the Convention's law-making and implementation; the specific implementation of Article 21; the role of cultural communities in promoting diversity of cultural expressions; and the effectiveness and coherence of the Convention. Scholars and practitioners in the field of international law of culture and international cultural cooperation will welcome this fascinating new book.

Moore: The Struggle for Law in the Oceans: How an Isolationist Narrative Betrays America
During the 1970s and 1980s the United States led the world in negotiating one of the most important treaties in history, the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). Through these negotiations the United States secured the largest area of maritime jurisdiction in the world-an area larger than the continental United States itself-and protected navigational freedom, so critical for Naval mobility.
The United States was also recognized as having access to four deep seabed mine sites, each roughly the size of the State of Rhode Island, and each containing approximately a quarter trillion dollars in strategic minerals. Today UNCLOS is in force for 168 countries and the European Union. Isolationist arguments, however, have for a quarter-century prevented the Senate from voting on the Convention.
This book is about the potential damage to American national interests caused by this isolationist narrative. It discusses the robust reasons favoring the Convention, and offers a sharp critical examination of the arguments still being made against it. John Norton Moore posits that isolationist obstruction has cost the United States two deep seabed mine sites, "USA-2" and "USA-3," for a loss of a half trillion dollars in strategic minerals, and shows how a continuation of this narrative threatens the loss of "USA-1" and "USA-4" for another half trillion dollars-all while China has acquired four deep seabed sites and the Russian Federation three. In this ground-breaking, and vigorously argued new work, Moore asserts that it is time to accede to the Convention, as has been urged for decades by Presidents from both sides of the political divide.

Andreassen: Research Handbook on the Politics of Human Rights Law
International human rights law is undoubtedly intertwined with politics. This Research Handbook explores and provokes reflection on how politics impacts human rights legislation and, conversely, how human rights law shapes politics and the functioning of the state.
Bringing together leading international scholars in human rights law and politics, the Research Handbook provides theoretical reflections and empirical analyses across the areas of governance and policies and examines the implementation mechanisms of human rights law in national and international jurisdictions. Chapters discuss issues such as the mobilization of human rights in developing countries, the politics of torture and resource allocation, and the influence of politics on international institutions. It also presents a critical analysis of the human rights regimes in Africa, Asia, Europe and the Middle East, and how the state works in ways which respect the ethics and values of human rights law.
Carcano & Scovazzi: Upholding the Prohibition of Torture: The Contribution of the European Court of Human Rights
This volume deals with the right of any individual not to be subjected to torture. Although almost universally prohibited, torture still manifests itself in the conduct of several States around the world, including Member States of the Council of Europe. The European Court of Human Rights has, since its inception, entered numerous findings of torture. Mindful of the urgency of the effectiveness of the international legal prohibition of torture, this book examines and critically appraises the practice of the European Court on torture. Through the analysis of leading cases and the legal issues ensuing from them, the book explores the contribution of the European Court to the clarification of the applicable law, illustrating developments of legal significance, exploring some still contentious issues, and stressing the several achievements as well as some still questionable outcomes.
