This is the first paper to examine pain and suffering damages in complex human rights cases decided under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). This is, those involving more than one violation. For the empirical analysis we constructed a dataset based on cases decided by the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), containing N=1685 observations. Based on hierarchical cluster analysis we first identify four clusters, comprising two to four violated Convention articles. We then use multiple regression analysis to examine how pain and suffering damages are affected in cases involving multiple violations. We find that pain and suffering damages in European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) cases are not additive. Instead, applicants receive proportionally less monetary compensation for more violated Convention articles.

Critical thinking is one of the key competencies listed by OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) [1], a central European Community organization, and is also mentioned as a learning outcome for higher education by international organizations, such as ABET, ACM, and IEEE, as well as in numerous national and university legislations regarding higher education degrees. The ability to communicate, not least in writing, is another important competence our students are supposed to gain during their education. There is thus high agreement regarding the importance of these competencies, but it is not clear how to achieve this.

"Recht in Gefahr? war das Generalthema der 37. Zweijahrestagung der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Internationales Recht (DGIR), die vom 9. bis 11. März 2022 in Heidelberg stattfand. An der dreitägigen Konferenz wurden völkerrechtliche und international-privatrechtliche Fragen von Internationalität und Renationalisierung (u.a. am Beispiel des Gewaltverbots), Zusammenspiel und Antagonismus von nationaler und internationaler Ordnung an den Beispielen des privatrechtlichen Einheitsrecht und des Völkerrechts der natürlichen Ressourcen, die Frage einer Überdehnung der internationalen Menschenrechte sowie die Reform der Schiedsgerichtsbarkeit und Krise der staatlichen Gerichtsbarkeit behandelt. Die Referate hielten Jochen von Bernstorff, Christina Binder, Sigrid Boysen, Christine Budzikiewicz, Hans-Georg Dederer, Martin Gebauer, Michael Stürner und Matthias Weller. Sie eröffneten jeweils international-privatrechtliche und völkerrechtliche Perspektiven, die in kontroversen Diskussionen vertieft wurden. Dieser Band beinhaltet neben einer Zusammenfassung der Podiumsdiskussion zum russischen Angriff auf die Ukraine die Ausarbeitungen der Referate sowie Wortbeiträge der Gelehrten, die beide Fächer der DGIR vertreten: die Völkerrechtswissenschaft und das Internationale Privatrecht.

Die hier anzuzeigende Festschrift der Freunde, Wegbegleiter und Kollegen Jost Delbrücks zu seinem 70. Geburtstag steht unter dem Titel ""Weltinnenrecht"". Mit diesem Begriff, für den Jost Delbrück nicht nur die Urheberschaft, sondern auch seine Etablierung als Kategorie beanspruchen kann, soll das Bemühen des Jubilars gewürdigt werden, die Konstitutionalisierung des Völkerrechts in zahlreichen Aspekten der Internationalisierung und der Globalisierung geistig durchdrungen und auf den Begriff gebracht zu haben. Außerdem bringen Herausgeber und Autoren mit diesem Titel zum Ausdruck, dass sie Jost

The rights and responsibilities of the individual are at the centre of today's armed conflicts in a way that they have never been before. This process of 'individualization', which challenges the primacy of the sovereign state, is driven by normative developments related to human rights that have elevated human-centric conceptions of security and created a new class of international crimes, as well as by technological and strategic developments that can both empower individuals as military actors and enable either the targeting or protection of particular individuals. The Individualization of War examines the status of individuals in contemporary armed conflict in three main capacities: as subject to violence but deserving of protection; as liable to harm because of their responsibility for attacks on others; and as agents who can be held accountable for the perpetration of crimes. This book presents a novel conceptualization of the phenomenon of individualization, including how it is both practiced and contested. It then convenes a set of leading thinkers from the fields of moral philosophy, international law, and international relations to further our understanding of not only how individualization is manifest in armed conflict - in theory and in practice - but also how it generates tensions and challenges for today's scholars and practitioners. The collective research on which the book is based integrates the currently segregated scholarship on individualization in different academic disciplines, thereby illuminating the important links between law, morality, and politics that constitute the day-to-day reality for national militaries, international organizations, and humanitarian actors.
