Open economy macroeconomic models generally overlook the effects of
international migration and remittances on income and welfare. A
two‐country temporary equilibrium model is presented which incorporates
trade theoretic elements of international migration and remittances. In
the model, an expansionary incomes, or a trade, policy by the host
country induces migration, while expansionary demand policies in the
source country discourage migration. In all cases, however, when some
degree of international migration exists, potential income and welfare
gains to both countries induced by such policies exceed the equivalent
policy gains where international migration and remittances are absent.

Entsendungen und dauerhafte Auslandsbeschäftigung sind inzwischen ein weltweites Phänomen. Grenzüberschreitende Freizügigkeit bedarf aber der Begleitung durch grenzüberschreitende soziale Sicherung. Dies gilt auch für das Risiko von Arbeitsunfall und Berufskrankheit. Eine fehlende Koordinierung der nationalen Sozialrechtsordnungen und des Internationalen Privatrechts birgt hier die Gefahr von Schutzlücken für den Arbeitnehmer und von ungeklärten deliktischen Haftungsrisiken seines Arbeitgebers. Am Beispiel der internationalen Ausrichtung der deutschen gesetzlichen Unfallversicherung und der australischen Workers Compensation untersucht die Autorin diese Risiken umfassend. Mit einem detaillierten Raster praxisnaher Fallbeispiele ermittelt sie Defizite bei Versicherungsschutz, Leistungsrecht und Arbeitgeberhaftung und zeigt konkrete Lösungsmöglichkeiten auf. Bestehende völkerrechtliche Abkommen und das koordinierende Sozialrecht der EG sind als Musterregelungen in die Untersuchung einbezogen.

The International Court of Justice (Court or ICJ) delivered three judgments in 2015. The first, delivered on February 3, 2015, determines claims of genocide made by Croatia and Serbia against each other. The second, delivered on September 24, 2015, addresses Chile's preliminary objection in a case brought against it by Bolivia, which asserted that Chile had violated its obligation to negotiate in good faith to secure Bolivia's sovereign access to the Pacific Ocean. The third, delivered on December 16, 2015, concerns the joined cases brought by Costa Rica and Nicaragua, each party alleging territorial violations and transboundary environmental harms by the other. This review highlights notable points of interest in the judgments and draws attention to particular insights and critiques afforded by the individual opinions that accompany each judgment.

This study analyzes Cabo Verde's demographic transition from the perspective of gender equality. As the pace of the demographic transition slows, promoting gender equality and increasing women's labor force participation will be progressively more important in enhancing otherwise slow-growth dynamics, reducing poverty, and improving the lives of all, women and men. The study investigates gender gaps in the labor market participation rate, employment conditions, and the use of time dedicated to unpaid work. It also discusses policy options to decrease the time women spend on unpaid work, enhance their employability, and enable them to secure employment. Overall, this study contributes to the debate on how better to manage the potential dividends resulting from demographic transitions on the still young but rapidly aging African continent

"Private International Law in Common Law Canada: Cases, Text and Materials, 5th Edition examines the three key issues in civil litigation: taking jurisdiction over a dispute, recognizing and enforcing judgment of a foreign court, and identifying the law to be applied in resolving a dispute. This fifth edition also investigates the historical and theoretical underpinnings of private international law, exploring its constitutional implications and its intersections with public policy. The three key issues are explored in the areas of torts, contracts, and unjust enrichment, as well as in property law and succession, and family law."--

The article examines the problems associated with the international legal framework for bringing to responsibility for damage caused by war crimes. First of all, it should be noted that the use of force is required to hold states accountable during armed conflicts; the presence of an act of aggression; the existence of a violation of international humanitarian law and a violation or non-observance of human rights. With regard to international liability for damage caused to individuals in the course of international armed conflicts, it is necessary to determine which norms of international law are potentially violated and what is the legal basis for applying such liability to states.In its decisions, the International Court of Justice has repeatedly drawn attention to the obligation of states that have violated their obligations under international law to compensate for the damage caused by such violations. According to the draft articles on the responsibility of states, any international offense by a state entails the responsibility of those states to which the responsible state is obliged to provide full compensation for damage caused by an international offense.
