Die Verfasser geben einen Überblick über den derzeitigen Stand der Delikthaftung in den USA und ähnliche Entwicklungstendenzen in Großbritannien und Australien. Dabei stehen Fragen des materiellen Rechts im Vordergrund. Für die Rechtslage in den USA sind vor allem der Alien Tort Claims Act sowie der Torture Victim Protection Act von Bedeutung. Sollten sich weitere Staaten der amerikanischen Rechtspraxis anschließen, könnte dies langfristig Folgen für die Fortentwicklung des Völkergewohnheitsrechts haben, soweit es um die völkerrechtliche Bindung transnationaler Unternehmen geht. Im kontinentaleuropäischen Raum gibt es allerdings bislang nur vereinzelt Vorstöße, transnationale Unternehmen für im Ausland begangene Menschenrechtsverletzungen haftbar zu machen. (ICE2)

The interrelation between different fields of public international law has particular relevance for the systematic understanding of international law. The book contains a collection of essays on the law of the sea and its interdependencies with other current legal issues of global importance. The issue of the relationship between global warming and law of the sea matters are one focus. In a second thematic section the collection addresses the global commons. The third part deals with security issues. The recent increase in piracy activities has shown the relevance of discussing the linkage between the law of the sea and security issues.
