With a Foreword by Kristalina Georgieva, European Commissioner for International Cooperation, Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Response Over the last decades natural and man-made disasters have been increasing in terms of frequency, size, number of people affected and material damage caused. There is growing awareness of the importance of adequate national and international legal frameworks for disaster prevention, mitigation and response. The implementation of these frameworks, however, poses serious challenges. This book analyses International Disaster Response Law as developed in recent times and identifies the main existing normative gaps. The authors address the rights and duties of States in preventing and mitigating disasters, in facilitating access to their territory for humanitarian relief actors, as well as issues related to liability and compensation. Due attention is paid to European Union law governing disaster response (and to its reform in the light of the Lisbon Treaty) and to the main trends in domestic legislation. Human rights obligations are thoroughly examined and the potential relevance of international criminal law is assessed. Additional topics such as the status of relief personnel, the hindrances to the delivery of relief consignments by customs and excise administration, the use of civilian and military defence assets in emergency situations, the mechanisms and procedures available to offer financial support for recovery and rehabilitation, risk insurance, and the issue of corruption during disaster-related activities are specifically addressed. By drawing on the expertise of lawyers, political scientists, economists and humanitarian practitioners, the book promotes much-needed interdisciplinary dialog and sheds light on a largely uncharted field of research. It is therefore essential reading for academics and practitioners in international and EU law, policy makers, civil protection and humanitarian operators and for anyone interested in exploring the legal facets of the international community{u2019}s response to large-scale calamitous events.

The year 2013 marks the twentieth anniversary of the admission of Monaco to the United Nations, also elected to the vice presidency of the 68th session of the United Nations General Assembly. This is an opportunity for me to recall, in the light of more than seven centuries of history, and especially through the last two decades, Monaco's commitment to international law and institutions that have emerged to guarantee.

This issue focuses on the development and implementation of communitypolicing around the world. I am indebted to Professor Maria Haberfeld of theJohn Jay College of Criminal Justice who put this issue together.

The theoretical debate on pluralism in law has only indirectly overlapped with the debate on global justice. It has often seemed that the former appears as a merely institutional concern of experts in law, whereas the second as a moral preoccupation for philosophers, economists and activists. In my view the two issues are closely related. They both turn on a view of the legitimacy of international institutions. It is wrong for philosophers to ignore institutions of law and it is equally wrong for lawyers to ignore global justice. In order to see this we will need to set aside the artificial distinction that is often drawn between legal and political obligation. This is the epicentre of the 'positivist' theory of law, which is currently popular among legal philosophers. Legal positivism is an attractive theory because it simplifies law and legal reasoning. It is nevertheless misleading because it fails to capture both our basic common sense assumptions about law and the content of technical legal doctrine. Under the legal positivist dogma legal obligations and rights become inscrutable. They come to mysteriously occupy a space occupying both the world of fact and the world of value. Legal positivism is incoherent because law is another area of practical reason, a series of arguments that run parallel to morality and ethics. In my own earlier work I offered a theory of law as practical reason, which is constructivist in method and egalitarian in inspiration, based on the work of Kant and Rawls. I believe that the same theory can illuminate international institutions. In this essay I argue that once we understand the law as a body of rules, practices and institutions with moral standing, the question of pluralism and the question of global justice are seen as two sides of the same coin. Lawyers and philosophers have a common task, to understand and interpret the moral nature of the division of the world into states.
