By interrogating how international criminal tribunals relate to their domestic counterparts through the principle of complementarity, this volume advocates for improved institutional design and less deference toward states to strengthen the enforcement of international criminal law.

The Twenty-fifth International Conference of the Red Cross was held in Geneva from 23 to 31 October 1986. It was attended by delegations from 137 National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and 113 States party to the Geneva Conventions, as well as by many observers from National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies in the process of formation and from governmental and non-governmental organizations.

The Twenty-third International Conference of the Red Cross took place in Bucharest, from 15 to 21 October 1977, and was attended by some 700 delegates, representing 104 National Red Cross Societies, the ICRC, the League and 83 governments.

Der Beitrag widmet sich dem personenbezogenen Ansatz von Carl Deichmann und dessen Anwendung im Bereich der internationalen Politik; im Zentrum steht dabei die Person des UNO-Generalsekretärs. Konkret wird an der Person des siebten Generalsekretärs Kofi Annan das Potenzial eines personenbezogenen Ansatzes näher betrachtet. Zunächst werden die Handlungsbedingungen und Grundlagen des Amtes des UNO-Generalsekretärs skizziert. Daran schließt sich ein Blick auf die Biografie Kofi Annans an, d. h. hier im Besonderen auf seine Prägungen, Erfahrungshorizonte und Wertvorstellungen. Anhand einiger Ereignisse aus der Amtszeit Annans wird gezeigt, wie sich individuelles Handeln und politische Prozesse so verdichten, dass über die beschriebene gegenseitige Konstituierung, Analyse und Verständnis der politischen Realität erleichtert werden. Ein Fazit bietet einen Ausblick auf Anwendungsoptionen des hier erläuterten Beispiels in der politischen Bildung. (ICB2)

International students are potential highly skilled workers who can enter in their host country's labor market. In Switzerland, migration policies regulate the selection criteria for migrant workers, including international students who subsequently seek employment after graduation. However, Switzerland has competing national interests: on the one hand, economic efficiency requires highly skilled workers who are partially recruited abroad; on the other hand, the state has to address concerns related to immigration, social cohesion, national identity, and security. We analyze the dynamic of international graduates' integration in the Swiss labor market. We first provide an overview of the stay rates of graduate students based on register data, and then we conduct a multivariate analysis of Swiss labor market integration based on graduate surveys from the Swiss Federal Statistical Office. We complement the analysis with responses to problems encountered by the international graduates when seeking employment. We find that Switzerland accesses a pool of variously skilled graduates upon their graduation from Swiss universities. While Swiss employers recruit both European and non-European graduates, the priority rule and facilitated mobility for EU nationals are reflected in higher employment rates of EU graduates. Graduates with degrees in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) are more likely than non-STEM graduates to find employment in Switzerland. Yet, this factor is not as strong as expected for all non-EU nationals: STEM graduates from both EU and non-EU countries, as well as the Asia-Pacific region, are employed at a significantly higher rate than non-STEM graduates from the same region.

Maida Springer was an active participant in shaping a history that involved powerful movements for social, political and economic equality and justice for workers women, and African Americans. Maida Springer is the first full-length biography to document and analyze the central role played by Springer in international affairs, particularly in the formation of AFL-CIO's African policy during the Cold War and African independence movements. Richards explores the ways in which pan-Africanism, racism, sexism and anti-Communism affected Springer's political development, her labor activism, and her relationship with labor leaders in the AFL-CIO, the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU), and in African unions. Springer's life experiences and work reveal the complex nature of black struggles for equality and justice. A strong supporter of both the AFL-CIO and the ICFTU, Springer nonetheless recognized that both organizations were fraught with racism, sexism, and ethnocentrism. She also understood that charges of Communism were often used as a way to thwart African American demands for social justice. As an African-American, she found herself in the unenviable position of promoting to Africans the ideals of American democracy from which she was excluded from fully enjoying. Richards's biography of Maida Springer uniquely connects pan-Africanism, national and international labor relations, the Cold War, and African American, labor, women's, and civil rights histories. In addition to documenting Springer's role in international labor relations, the biography provides a larger view of a whole range of political leaders and social movements. Maida Springer is a stirring biography that spans the fields of women studies, African American studies, and labor history.

In the increasingly uneasy world of today, when the notion of a "balance of terror" no longer seems a jaded and unlikely description of the human condition, the concerned thinker, fearful of the future, must pause to reconsider the relevance of the dominant mode of thought in international retations. This paper seeks to examine the fundamental question whether political realism, for long the dominant mode of thought in international politics, can any longer serve as a useful guide to understanding and action in world affairs. Given the dangerous direction in which the world is all too evidently heading in the 1980s, it is necessary to enquire whether the realist outlook, however useful in the past, provides any ground for optimism regarding the future. The task is all the more important because the "future" we are concerned with involves the question of the survival of life on this planet.
