Case Mortier v. Belgium : the balance between the right to life and the right to respect for private life in the light of euthanasia

2026-07-24T06:36:30+00:00

The case Mortier v. Belgium is the first case where the Court comments on the figure of euthanasia. The area of euthanasia in particular raises the issue of finding a bal-ance between the protection of the patients' right to life in Article 2 of the Convention and that of the right to respect for his or her private life and personal autonomy in Article 8 of the Convention. The Court confirmed the States must be afforded a margin of appreciation in finding this balance. However, it does not conce[...]

Human rights in a positive state: rethinking the relationship between positive and negative obligations under the European Convention on Human Rights

2026-07-24T06:36:30+00:00

The rights guaranteed in the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) not only place negative obligations on the State to refrain from actions that interfere with human rights, but also positive ones that require the State to take action in order to ensure those rights. My dissertation provides an analytical inquiry into the application of the concept of positive obligations by the European Court of Human Rights. It is shown that the Court generally applies a less strict legal methodology when[...]

Access to foreign law in practice : easier said than done

2026-07-24T06:36:30+00:00

This paper deals with the achilles heel of private international law: how to access, understand and apply foreign law. As globalisation advances, so does the necessity to apply and interpret foreign law, but today even accessing it is still a challenge. This article examines the situation through an empirical study on the application of foreign parentage law by Belgian courts and non-judicial authorities. It also focuses on the use of two existing tools to ascertain foreign law, that is, the Eur[...]

2026-07-24T06:36:30+00:00

The thesis investigates the institutional arrangements for the governing of environmental affairs at the international level. The legal analysis looks at these arrangements from two perspectives: international institutional law and international treaty law. The first part of the thesis deals with the question if the existing United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) should be upgraded to a World Environment Organisation (WEO), a UN specialised agency for the environment. This debate is examine[...]

Mixed claims commissions in Latin America during the 19th and 20th centuries : the development of international law in between caudillos and revolutions

2026-07-24T06:36:30+00:00

This chapter examines the impact of Latin America on the development of ‘mixed claims commissions’, adjudication bodies founded in an ad hoc fashion by international agreements. It argues that these bodies are best understood in the context of their development during periods of crisis in Latin American nations, the majority of which were presidential states. Armed conflicts and internal revolutions led to the rise of strong executives and legal conflicts over the property of foreigners. As new [...]

Human rights and legal pluralism in legal development aid: insights from sub-Saharan Africa

2026-07-24T06:36:30+00:00

This article examines the main strategies followed by legal development actors in order to improve the human rights record of local law institutions in four countries of the African region in which case studies were conducted: Malawi, Mozambique, Sierra Leone and Zambia. Based on an analysis of the characteristics of the legal landscapes of sub-Saharan Africa and of key insights generated by the socio-legal scholarship on legal pluralism and human rights, the article argues that most of these in[...]

Almost twenty years on from the decade of voluntary repatriation, Jolien Tegenbos and Koen Vlassenroot explore how scholarly understanding of the process of ‘return’ has evolved and how it has largely been determined by policy priorities.

Western gunrunners, (Middle-)Eastern casualties : unlawfully trading arms with states engulfed in Yemeni civil war?

2026-07-24T06:36:29+00:00

According to the United Nations Secretary-General, Yemen today constitutes the worst man-made humanitarian crisis in the world. It is fuelled by extensive thirdstate involvement, with none of the warring parties championing respect for international human rights and humanitarian law (to put it mildly). Conversely, primary rules of international law already prohibit arms transfers from the moment there is a significant risk that they could be used to commit or facilitate grave breaches, with the [...]

GDPR case sheds light on threshold for individual damages

2026-07-24T06:36:28+00:00

On May 4, 2023 the Court of Justice of the European Union delivered its judgment in UI v. Österreichische Post AG, clarifying when an individual can claim compensation for damages under Article 82(1) of the General Data Protection Regulation. According to the ECJ, the mere infringement of the provisions of the GDPR is not, in and of itself, sufficient to establish a right to compensation to individuals: Individuals must have suffered material or nonmaterial damages from an infringement of the GD[...]

This Comment discusses the International Criminal Court in light of China's missile tests off the coast of [...]

PRECISE OPERATIONS, IMPRECISE LAWS: HOW NEBULOUS LAWS WREAK HAVOC IN OUTER SPACE

2026-07-17T03:20:30+00:00

As space operations advance with unprecedented precision, the laws governing these activities remain outdated, vague, and incapable of addressing contemporary challenges. The Outer Space Treaty (OST) and the Liability Convention, drafted in the Cold War era, fail to adequately define fundamental terms such as damage, fault, and compensation. This lack of legal precision creates significant liability gaps, particularly as space debris, mega-constellations, and private-sector actors reshape the sp[...]

Rights, Rights of Action, and Remedies: An Integrated Approach

2026-07-17T03:20:30+00:00

Traditionally, courts equated rights and remedies. Consequently, courts sought to provide remedies for the violation of statutory rights even if a statute did not contain detailed enforcement provisions. In the 1970s, however, the U.S. Supreme Court transformed what had been a unified inquiry into whether a statutory provision should bejudicially enforceable into three distinct questions and developed separate criteria for deciding whether a statute should be read to create a right, imply a righ[...]

Rethinking Adjudicative Jurisdiction in International Law

2026-07-17T03:20:30+00:00

The contribution of national courts to international law has long been doubted in the international law literature. As an aspect of the state’s power to prescribe, courts have been conceived as organs that merely apply the state’s laws, which may give effect to an international law norm. According to this conception, national courts merely apply and operate within the state’s national legal system and rarely have a direct contribution to international law. However, in enforcement proceedings for[...]

Humanitarian Intervention in Southeast Asia in the Post-Cold War World: Dilemmas in the Definition and Design of International Law

2026-07-17T03:20:30+00:00

Human rights abuse is a significant problem in Southeast Asia. The end of the Cold War has led to trends toward greater use of international interventionary force for humanitarian objectives. This Comment proposes that rather than defining or re-interpreting international law to allow military intervention for humanitarian purposes, a Southeast Asian regional human rights regime should be formed, involving greater development and acceptance of non-military forms of intervention.

Corporate Complicity in International Criminal Law: Potential Responsibility of European Arms Dealers for Crimes Committed in Yemen

2026-07-17T03:20:30+00:00

This article examines the question of corporate complicity within the framework of international criminal law and, more specifically, at the International Criminal Court (ICC). It does so by referencing a communication to the ICC filed by several non-governmental organizations, inviting the prosecutor to examine potential criminal responsibility of several European corporate officials who are knowingly supplying weapons to the United Arab Emirates/Saudi-led coalition currently engaged in a milit[...]

Teamwork or Collusion? Changing Antitrust Law to Permit Corporate Action on Climate Change

2026-07-17T03:20:30+00:00

In an era of apprehension about climate change and the future of our planet, private companies are increasingly recognizing their role in increasing sustainability and lowering carbon emissions. To address this growing concern, some industry leaders are taking unilateral action to implement sustainable practices, but other companies have made agreements to fight emissions together. However, the Sherman Antitrust Act forbids agreements in restraint of trade. Further, antitrust law traditionally h[...]

Codification and progressive development of international space law through soft law ; Kodyfikacja i postępowy rozwój międzynarodowego prawa kosmicznego przez soft law

2026-07-10T07:18:36+00:00

The article suggests the reinterpretation of classical international law terms: the codification and progressive development, in order to carry out an in-depth analysis of the development processes in international space law. Since no new global treaties in this regard have been made since 1979, an instrument which seems to allow for substantial changes in international space law is soft law norms. In this context, codification in international space law can also be understood as enhancement of [...]

Poznań studies on international law in Ruch Prawniczy, Ekonomiczny i Socjologiczny ; Poznańska nauka prawa międzynarodowego na łamach „Ruchu Prawniczego, Ekonomicznego i Socjologicznego”

2026-07-10T07:18:36+00:00

The aim of the article is to provide an overview of the achievements of selected representatives of Poznań studies on international law, whose writings have been published in the previous volumes of the Ruch Prawniczy, Ekonomiczny i Socjologiczny [Journal of Law, Economics and Sociology]: Bohdan Winiarski, Alfons Klafkowski, Krzysztof Skubiszewski, Bolesław Wiewióra, Jan Sandorski, Jerzy Tyranowski, Tadeusz Gadkowski, and Anna Michalska.

Interpretative declarations as an instrument of transformation of international investment law. Measures for restraining judicial activism ; Deklaracje interpretacyjne jako instrument transformacji międzynarodowego prawa inwestycyjnego. Ku ograniczeniu aktywizmu sędziowskiego

2026-07-10T07:18:36+00:00

International investment law has been subject to significant criticism for at least a decade, due to the methodology applied in the jurisprudence of arbitration tribunals. As a result, both States and international organizations are seeking measures to limit the judicial activism of these tribunals. The most commonly used mechanisms in this respect include renegotiating existing investment treaties, concluding new agreements and terminating treaties. These mechanisms, which are generally the mos[...]

Excessive procedural formalism as a violation of Article 6(1) of the Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms ; Nadmierny formalizm procesowy jako naruszenie art. 6 ust. 1 Konwencji o ochronie praw człowieka i podstawowych wolności

2026-07-10T07:18:36+00:00

All judicial proceedings are inevitably based on the formalized procedures. Procedural provisions pursue many important objectives, such ensuring the effectiveness of proceedings or protecting legal certainty by regulating the competences of procedural bodies and the rights and duties of parties. At the same time, excessive procedural formalism may disproportionately limit the right to court, making access to court illusory. Within the framework of the European Convention on Human Rights, the pe[...]

International Law and the Development of International Relations ; Rola prawa międzynarodowego w rozwoju nauki o stosunkach międzynarodowych

2026-07-10T07:18:36+00:00

International relations as an independent new discipline has been created by a process of separation from international law. The theory of international relations very rightly stressed that States’ conduct neither can be fully determined nor can be viewed and analyzed exclusively by a prism of legal norms. Nevertheless, such approach can be criticized when it leads to underestimation, neglect or even rejection of any role for international law in international relations. In fact none internation[...]

The Russian invasion of Ukraine: An anti-constitutional moment in international law?

2026-07-10T07:18:36+00:00

The Russian invasion of Ukraine was the first open and blatant aggression against a sovereign neighbour state in Europe since 1945. Does this war have systemic significance for the legal order as a whole? The contribution singles out legal trends that relate to three fundamental principles of the current international legal order: peace, people (humanity), and the planet. My thesis is that, although Russia has breached a fundamental, even constitutional, principle of international law, namely th[...]

Lex petrolea as an autonomous legal regime of international law ; Lex petrolea jako autonomiczny reżim prawny prawa międzynarodowego

2026-07-10T07:18:36+00:00

The specific branch lex petrolea evolved from the national and international doctrine, national laws governing the energy sector, oil contracts, case law, and the practice of entities operating in the oil industry. Both, the internationalisation processes and the solutions to particular problems in this sector, are very similar worldwide and tend to follow the international rather than national trend. The world doctrine, however, is struggling with a lack of universal agreement on the recognitio[...]

Diplomatic Protection in International Law: A Comprehensive Analysis of ICJ Rulings with Particular Focus on the Landmark Diallo Case Judgment of 2012

2026-07-10T07:18:36+00:00

This paper explores the concept of diplomatic protection in international law through a detailed analysis of International Court of Justice (ICJ) rulings, with a particular focus on the landmark June 19, 2012 judgment in Ahmadou Sadio Diallo (Republic of Guinea v. Democratic Republic of the Congo). Diplomatic protection, a traditional legal mechanism allowing states to seek redress for their nationals harmed by other states, reflects a nuanced intersection between state sovereignty and individua[...]

2026-07-10T07:18:36+00:00

The article presents the legal nature and place of sports law within the structure of international law. It reflects on the types of sources of law, the objective and subjective (institutional) scope of sports law at the international level, as well as raises the question of the need to systematise the terminology as far as concepts such as international sports order and international system of sports are concerned. The author attempts to approximate the definition of lex sportiva and presents s[...]

Treaty basis of the freedom of navigation on international rivers from the perspective of international law applicable to water resources ; Podstawy traktatowe wolności żeeglugi na rzekach międzynarodowych z perspektywy międzynarodowego prawa zasobów wodnych

2026-07-10T07:18:36+00:00

The aim of this paper is to present the issue of the freedom of navigation on international rivers in light of international law and international practice. An analysis of relevant provisions of pertinent treaties which determine the scope of that freedom and the rules that govern its use leads to a conclusion that no universal principle of freedom of navigation on international rivers has been formulated, nor can be found in the norms of customary international law. This subject is presented fr[...]

The Right to Freedom of Association in the Workplace: Australia's Compliance with International Human Rights Law

2026-07-10T08:22:19+00:00

The right to freedom of association in the workplace is a well established norm of international human rights law. However, it has traditionally received insubstantial attention within human rights scholarship. This article situates the right to freedom of association at work within human rights discourses. It looks at the status, scope and importance of the right as it has evolved in international human rights law. In so doing, a case is put that there are strong reasons for states to comply wi[...]

Protection of the Natural Environment Under International Humanitarian Law and International Criminal Law: The Case of the Special Jurisdiction for Peace in Colombia

2026-07-10T08:22:17+00:00

This Article addresses the protection of the natural environment in a non-international armed conflict (NIAC) by applying international humanitarian law (IHL) and international criminal law (ICL) in a transitional justice tribunal. In December 2016, the Colombian government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia–People’s Army (FARC-EP) guerrilla group signed an agreement which established the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP), a tribunal designed to investigate, prosecute, and punish [...]

Representation, Inequality, Marginalization, and International Law-Making: The Case of the International Court of Justice and the International Law Commission

2026-07-10T08:22:16+00:00

This Article assesses the extent of inequality and marginalization in the making of international law. It examines whether there is equal contribution, and equal opportunity for contribution, in the making of international law by and for all States. In particular, the Article ponders whether the Global South is marginalized in law-making processes, or, put another way, whether the Global North is privileged. The Article evaluates whether there is equitable representation in international law-mak[...]

Whales, science, and scientific whaling in the International Court of Justice

2026-07-10T08:22:16+00:00

I provide a brief review of the origins of the International Convention on the Regulation of Whaling and the failure to successfully regulate whaling that led to the commercial moratorium in 1986. I then describe the Japanese Whale Research Programs Under Special Permit in the Antarctica (JARPA I, JARPA II) and the origins of the case Whaling in the Antarctic (Australia v. Japan: New Zealand Intervening) in the International Court of Justice. I explain that the International Court of Justice cho[...]

STATE REMEDIES FOR HUMAN RIGHTS

2026-07-10T08:22:11+00:00

Within the United States, states are the source of remedies for most legal wrongs. State law provides remedies for common law torts, statutory violations, and constitutional rights, and state courts are available to parties seeking these remedies. May states also provide remedies for the victims of international human rights violations? With the Supreme Court closing the door on human rights litigation in U.S. federal courts under the Alien Tort Statute, and with plaintiffs therefore turning to [...]

International Comity in American Law

2026-07-10T08:22:10+00:00

International comity is one of the principal foundations of U.S. foreign relations law. The doctrines of American law that mediate the relationship between the U.S. legal system and those of other nations are nearly all manifestations of international comity — from the conflict of laws to the presumption against extraterritoriality; from the recognition of foreign judgments to doctrines limiting adjudicative jurisdiction in international cases; and from a foreign government’s privilege of bringi[...]

Abroad: Law, Migration, and Capitalism in an Age of Globalization

2026-07-10T08:22:09+00:00

John Locke’s famous triad of inalienable rights included life, liberty, and property. Historians of human rights, however, have neglected property in favor of the more heroic categories of life and liberty. This dissertation asks what the relationship between life, liberty, and property has been in international law by studying the protection of nationals abroad in the nineteenth century and the various attempts to internationalize that protection in the twentieth. The late nineteenth century wa[...]

The Counterterrorism War Paradigm versus International Humanitarian Law: The Legal Contradictions and Global Consequences of the US “War on Terror”

2026-07-10T08:22:07+00:00

Since 2001, we have witnessed the development of a counterterrorism war paradigm built to advance claims about the post-9/11 scope and discretion of US executive power and to articulate specific interpretations of national security interests and strategic objectives in the “war on terror.” What makes this a paradigm rather than merely a conglomeration of evolving policies is the cohesiveness and mutual reinforcement of its underlying rationales about the rights of the US government to prosecute [...]

Space Law, Human Rights and Corporate Accountability

2026-07-10T08:22:05+00:00

The international legal regulation of outer space was founde don an assumption that space was (at that time) a new frontier tha twould enable a far broader range of activities on Earth and in space itself. This has raised important issues both as to the significance of fundamental human rights for space activities, as well as corporate accountability for conduct in outer space that may impact upon human rights. This is particularly so given the increasing involvement of the private sector in spa[...]

Interdependence at the International Criminal Court: Reconceptualizing our Understanding of the Court and its Failures

2026-07-10T08:22:04+00:00

The International Criminal Court is at an inflection point. The ICC remains the centerpiece of a fragile system of international justice and is needed more today than it was at the conclusion of the Rome Conference in 1998. Yet, the Court faces significant challenges and needs to step up its performance to deliver justice more effectively to communities affected by crimes under the Statute, particularly in today’s world where geopolitics are characterized more by polarization than cooperation. A[...]

THE CONVENTION ON THE RIGHTS OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES: ITS CONTRIBUTION TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS LAW

2026-07-07T07:45:54+00:00

This article examines the impact that the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) has had on international human rights law. While it seems that the convention may have a narrow focus, as it focuses on a specific group of people, this paper argues that it has had an impact on international human rights law more generally. This impact started with the negotiation of the convention between 2002 and 2006, and is continuing with its implementation since its entry [...]

This article examine the problems raised by amnesty in the domestic and international legal order in the context of national reconciliation. It examines the scope and limits of the amnesty law, justifying it by the exceptions made for international crimes and violations as far as international humanitarian law is concerned. Indeed, this paper deals with the domestic and international legal aspects of non-amnesty crimes that are recognized under conventional and customary international law as imp[...]

The armed conflict that erupted in Sudan in April 2023 has resulted in a significant humanitarian crisis, including numerous casualties and mass displacement. In such situations, children are often among the most vulnerable, frequently becoming direct victims of armed conflict through killings, sexual violence, and forced recruitment by armed groups. The dynamics of the conflict, driven by political differences and the struggle over resources, have led to various violations of international huma[...]

The recruitment of children as soldiers in armed conflict constitutes a serious violation of human rights and children's rights. The conflict in Syria began with the Arab Spring protests and has since evolved into a protracted war, destroying the social and economic life of the community and leading to the systematic destruction of children by the Syrian regime and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). Children are forced to participate in military service, undergo combat training, and experience [...]

2026-07-03T05:15:32+00:00

International audience ; The law applicable to investment disputes is reflective of the complex nature of investment arbitration. It presents an intricate interplay between various rules of law, most notably public international law and national law norms. The particularity of foreign investments is that they are regulated by both international and national rules. This is explained by a diverse range of legal relationships that arises in an investment dispute, which necessitates the application [...]

Crimes Against Humanity: The concept of humanity in international law

2026-07-03T05:15:32+00:00

International audience ; With the development of international criminal courts and tribunals, the concept of humanity developed considerably at the end of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first century to ground crimes against humanity. The 'laws of humanity' were first introduced in international law with the Declaration of Saint Petersburg in 1868, with the purpose of renouncing the use of certain explosive projectiles in times of war. The Nuremberg case-law is the first e[...]

International or Global Law: An Unachieved Revolution?

International audience ; This chapter is devoted to the issue of a purported triumph of international (or transnational) law that could have created, in the recent decades, a legal revolution minimising the role of domestic legal orders. This question cannot be separated from the historical perspective about what is “international law” (as a coherent and independent legal order) and at what time the first kind of international law has appeared. As a set of positive rules, international law has n[...]

Some complex configurations of the application of the lex specialis principle at the international level: the perspective of international investment law ; « Quelques configurations complexes de l’application du principe lex specialis au plan international : le point de vue du droit international des investissements »

International audience ; This article takes a step away from the mechanical application of the lex specialis derogat generali principle to analyse more broadly the relationship between special and general international law in investment law. In this sense, it is important to distinguish between lex specialis, the term for a special norm, and the principle of lex specialis (derogat generali), a procedure for resolving conflicts of norms. Although it is not easy to detect a harmonious machinery in[...]
