Air law has recently grown in significance. Drawing on international and national instruments and a wealth of case law from many jurisdictions, including the International Court of Justice, this book covers the role of international law in such matters as legal consequences arising from the use of automation in civil aviation, the carriage of the elderly and disabled by air, unlawful interference with civil aviation, protection of the environment, and the legal management of aviation security.

This collection of research and evaluation explores issues in mental health and probation across the globe. The volume offers insight into a wide range of interrelated topics that address the mental health and mental health needs of those under probation supervision. The chapters embrace a range of diverse mental health concerns. The underpinning assumption is that offenders should receive mental healthcare that is equivalent' to that received by the general population where this is appropriate. This overview is informed by perspectives from academics and practitioners based in England and the Republic of Ireland, and also includes the views of people with lived experience of the Criminal Justice System. Building upon and adding to the existing literature in this field, the book will be a valuable resource for academics and researchers as well as those training to work in, and currently working in, the criminal justice and mental health field, and would also be of interest to those working in related healthcare settings.

This article aims to interpret the Althusserian critique of ideology in order to put forth the mechanisms at work within the relation of belief that constitutes every ideology and to insist on its practical consequences on the relation between the intellectual and the masses. To do so, we will draw upon Althusser's review of humanism, upon his commentaries of the work of Montesquieu and Rousseau, and upon his conception of ideology in the article from 1970 on 'Ideology and Ideological State Apparatuses' and in other texts of the same period. By focusing on an analysis of the functioning of belief within the three cardinal forms of ideology (moral, legal and political), we will highlight the importance of putting into place a social critique attentive to the repetition of the relations of belief with regard to enabling truly transformative actions.

This article considers the necessity of critical gender analyses of indigenous laws. "Gender neutral" approaches dominate in the field of indigenous law, ignoring the gendered realities of indigenous laws and also the gendered aspects of theorizing. There is a need to develop theoretical frameworks that explicitly address these problems, and, thus, in this article I articulate Indigenous feminist legal theory. This theory is an analytic tool for examining Indigenous laws as gendered. I build this theory by bringing three bodies of work together, which are presently speaking past one another—feminist legal theory, Indigenous feminist theory, and Indigenous legal theory. Indigenous feminist legal theory generates an intersectional, multi-juridical, anti-colonial, anti-essentialist reading of law that is crucial to a multitude of fields.

Recent developments regarding the Convention on Cluster Munitions highlight an important shift in thinking relating to the harm caused by cluster munitions, particularly post-military conflict. That said, the Convention will only bind those who ratify it and arguments remain that governments around the world should reassess their positions regarding the legality of using such weapons. This article argues that cluster munitions are illegal under contemporary international law and their classification as a conventional weapon of war should be reclassified. Neueste Entwicklungen betreffend das Übereinkommen über Streumunition betonen eine wichtige Veränderung des Denkens bezüglich des Leides, welches durch Streumunition hervorgerufen wird, besonders nach militärischen Auseinandersetzungen. Nichtsdestoweniger wird das Übereinkommen nur die Staaten binden, die es ratifizieren und es verbleiben Argumente, dass Regierungen überall auf der Welt ihre Position bezüglich der Legalität der Benutzung solcher Waffen überprüfen sollten. Dieser Artikel argumentiert, dass Streumunition nach heutigem Völkerrechtsverständnis illegal ist und dass die Einordnung als herkömmliche Waffe überholt werden sollte.
