De la structure au fonctionnement et au sens du droit international pénal, l'auteur développe trois pistes de théorisation, dans une tension entre la doctrine initialement très enthousiaste et les critiques de plus en plus marquées à l'égard de la "justice pour les crimes les plus graves". Sa conception plurielle du monde (juridique) mène à questionner tant la pratique que les discours dominant la matière, esquissant une conceptualisation de cette branche de droit 'in situ nascendi'

Malta weathered the global recession relatively well. Real estate prices and collateral values experienced some correction and appear to have stabilized more recently, but excess supply likely remains in segments of the market. Continued progress with structural reforms will also be important to establish high value exports and to raise productivity and employment rates. Further pension reform will help avoid age-related public spending. Measures to enhance the education system and encourage women and older workers to participate in the labor market will be important to raise employment

The paper aims to lay out a framework for evaluating value shifts in the international legal order for the purposes of a forthcoming book. In view of current contestations it asks whether we are observing yet another period of norm change (Wandel) or even a more fundamental transformation of international law — a metamorphosis (Verwandlung). For this purpose it suggests to look into the mechanisms of how norms change from the perspective of legal and political science and also to approximate a reference point where change turns into metamorphosis. It submits that such a point may be reached where specific legally protected values are indeed changing (change of legal values) or where the very idea of protecting certain values through law is renounced (delegalizing of values). The paper discusses the benefits of such an interdisciplinary exchange and tries to identify differences and commonalities among both disciplinary perspectives.

As a result of the Diplomatic Conference on Wills held at Washington D.C., October 16-26, 1973, the "Convention Providing A Uniform Law On The Form Of An International Will" was set down. "The Uniform Law On the Form Of An International Will" appears as an annex to the Convention. The preamble to the Convention enunciates the purpose of the Convention and Uniform Law as a desire "to provide to a greater extent for the respecting of last wills by establishing an additional form of will, hereinafter to be called an 'international will', which, if employed, would dispense to some extent with the search for the applicable law". At present, the law in most provinces states that the court is to look, if necessary, to a number of law-areas to determine the formal validity of a will. The majority of provinces follow, in this respect, either verbatim or approximately, a scheme laid down in the proposed Uniform Wills Act, Part II (Conflict of Laws), adopted by the Conference of Commissioners on Uniformity of Legislation, and recommended for enactment in 1953.
