Genocide in International Law: The Crimes of Crimes 1st Edition

The provisions of the 1948 Genocide Convention are now being interpreted in important judgments by the International Court of Justice, the ad hoc Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, and increasingly in domestic courts. In this definitive work William A. Schabas gives detailed attention to the concept of protected groups, the quantitative dimension of genocide, problems of criminal prosecution, and issues of international judicial cooperations such as extradition. He explores the duty to prevent genocide, and the consequences this may have on the emerging law of humanitarian intervention.

International Human Rights Law

How do you keep students motivated when their perception of a subject conflicts with the reality of its academic study? International human rights law, unquestionably an exciting field, is also complex and demanding. In his breakthrough textbook, De Schutter focuses on international human rights law as global legal system, rather than as a collection of different (though related) rights, giving it relevance and immediacy. Drawing on cases and materials from a wide range of sources, it shows how human rights law is used as a tool to address contemporary issues such as counter-terrorism, global poverty and religious diversity. Materials are organised thematically, allowing readers to make comparisons and connections between different legal treaties and systems. Students can also easily assess how human rights are protected under domestic and international laws. The law is placed in context throughout, ensuring full understanding of why laws exist and how they work.

Law is a moral practice

What is law? And how does it relate to morality? It's common to think that law and morality are different ways of regulating our lives. But Scott Hershovitz says that this is a mistake: law is a part of our moral lives. It's a tool we use to adjust our moral relationships. The legal claims we advance in court, Hershovitz argues, are moral claims. And our legal conflicts are moral conflicts. Law Is a Moral Practice supplies fresh answers to fundamental questions about the nature of law and helps us better appreciate why we disagree about law so deeply. Reviving a neglected tradition of le- gal thought most famously associated with Ronald Dworkin, Hershovitz engages with important legal and political controversies of our time, including recent debates about constitutional interpretation and the obligations of citizens and officials to obey the law. Leavened by entertaining personal stories, guid- ed by curiosity rather than ideology, moving be- yond entrenched dichotomies like the opposition between positivism and natural law, Law Is a Moral Practice is a thought-provoking investigation of the philosophical issues behind real-world legal debates.

The legal tech ecosystem

"Colin Levy's book is a ground-breaking exploration of the intersection of law and tech- nology. A testament to his profound insights, this book offers an enlightening exploration of technology's transformative power in the legal industry, from automating routine tasks to pushing the boundaries of innovation. He courageously embraces adaptation, inno- vation, and technology, challenging the conventional 'This is the way it has always been done' mindset. The insights and lessons, especially the emphasis on collaboration for success and technology's potential to enhance rather than replace legal practice, are critical. His book deftly debunks myths and invites the reader to embrace change with an empathetic approach. It's not just a book, it's an essential guide for every 21st-century legal practitioner seeking to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of law practice. An unmissable read!"
