Negotiating sovereignty and human rights takes the transatlantic conflict over the International Criminal Court as a lens for an enquiry into the normative foundations of international society. The author shows how the way in which actors refer to core norms of the international society such as sovereignty and human rights affect the process and outcome of international negotiations.The book offers an innovative take on the long-standing debate over sovereignty and human rights in international relations. It goes beyond the simple and sometimes ideological duality of sovereignty versus human rights by showing that sovereignty and human rights are not competing principles in international relations, as is often argued, but complement each other. The way in which the two norms and their relationship are understood lies at the core of actors' broader visions of world order. The author shows how competing interpretations of sovereignty and human rights and the different visions of world order that they imply fed into the transatlantic debate over the ICC and transformed this debate into a conflict over the normative foundations of international society.

'Der vorliegende Artikel beschäftigt sich mit study monitoring aus der Perspektive der international vergleichenden Umfrageforschung. Ausgehend von einer Beschreibung der Qualitätsstandards für nationale Umfragen und der Besonderheiten für international vergleichende Umfragen betont der Beitrag die Bedeutung detaillierter und öffentlich zugänglicher Informationen zur methodischen Vorgehensweise solcher Umfragen. Erst dadurch kann die Qualität einer Umfrage bewertet werden. Dieser Artikel gibt keine Empfehlungen hinsichtlich dessen, was unter vergleichenden Gesichtspunkten methodisch akzeptabel ist, sondern beschreibt den derzeitigen state of the art: wie gehen bekannte international vergleichende Umfrageprogramme in Sachen study monitoring vor; insbesondere: was bietet ISSP in dieser Hinsicht an. Study monitoring geht dem Verständnis der Autoren nach über eine reine Studiendokumentation hinaus und dient durch die Offenlegung von Vorzügen, aber auch Schwächen dazu, Vertrauen in Umfragen zu fördern.'

The second Air Navigation Conference sponsored by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) opened in Montreal on August 30, 1955. Technicians representing 26 countries members of ICAO, three non-member countries and five international organizations attended the Conference, which had on its agenda radio aids to final approach and landing, long-distance navigational aids, aircraft separation in high density traffic areas, visual flight rules, and minimum height rules. The Conference requested ICAO members to set up a system of reporting "near-misses" between aircraft in flight, with the purpose not of enforcing existing rules of the air by taking disciplinary action against the pilots concerned but, by a systematic analysis of near-misses and the determination of their causes, to find a way of avoiding them. The Conference noted that research was being carried on in regard to anti-collision lights, and recommended that member states forward to ICAO information on the results of their trials and experiments. The Conference also recommended that ICAO revise its international standards to prohibit all flights in controlled airspace between sunset and sunrise unless such flights were carried out under air traffic control from the ground, with specific permission from the appropriate authorities. After considering complications resulting from aircraft flying under Visual Flight Rules (not under ground control) in controlled airspace, the Conference proposed an amendment to the international standards on rules of the air which would bring under traffic control a number of such flights, and made several other recommendations designed to minimize the traffic complications resulting from flights not under ground control.

International issues that are resolved traditionally through agreements
between states are managed currently through agreements between government
agencies and corporate entities. Government agencies and corporate entities
are nonstate actors that have no formal capacity to engage in international
lawmaking. Are their international agreements a source of international
law?
