Der Beitrag untersucht die internationale Rolle der EU. Die Besonderheiten der EU als weltweit einzige weit vorangeschrittene Integrationsgemeinschaft von inzwischen 25 Mitgliedsstaaten, die unterschiedliche Integrationsdichte in den verschiedenen, für das Außenhandeln bedeutsamen Politikfeldern sowie die außen- und sicherheitspolitischen Traditionen und Interessen der bekanntlich sehr unterschiedlichen Mitgliedsstaaten legen die These nahe, dass es sich bei der internationalen Rolle der EU um eine Rolle sui generis, eine einzigartige, weltweit einmalige Rolle handelt. So wird hier diskutiert, ob der Union daraus der Rang einer Weltmacht, ja gar das Prädikat einer alternativen Weltmacht neuen, besseren Typs zusteht. die Ausführungen gliedern sich in folgende Punkte: (1) Die Mehrdimensionalität des EU-Außenhandelns, (2) die Ungleichzeitigkeiten im Integrationsprozess als Ursache der Mehrdimensionalität (die machtpolitische Abstinenz 1958-1993, GASP, ESVP), (3) die Zielsetzungen und die Leistungsbilanz von GASP und ESVP, (4) GASP- und ESVP-Innovationen des Verfassungsvertrags (Einstimmigkeitsregel, Einführung des europäischen Außenministers, Flexibilisierung) sowie (5) die Perspektiven für GASP und ESVP nach dem (vorläufigen) Scheitern des europäischen Verfassungsvertrags. Mit Blick auf die politische Krise der EU, insbesondere ausgelöst durch die Ablehnung des Verfassungsvertrags in Frankreich und den Niederlanden, müssen nun möglichst viele Unterstützer für das Projekt einer starken EU und vor allem einer außen- und sicherheitspolitisch vermehrt handlungsfähigen EU gewonnen werden.

This book examines Australia's and the United States' ability to prosecute their peacekeepers for sexual exploitation and abuse. The United Nations has too long been plagued by sexual exploitation and abuse in some of the world's most vulnerable communities. Discussion within United Nations' reporting and academic scholarship focuses on policy; however, a significant concern outlined here is that peacekeepers are committing sexual offences with impunity, despite exclusive criminal jurisdiction over peacekeepers being granted to their sending states. In this original study O'Brien provides an in-depth, feminist analysis of US and Australian sexual offending law and jurisdiction over their military and military-civilian peacekeepers. Based on timely critical analysis, this book demonstrates the limitations states face in ensuring accountability for sexual exploitation and abuse by peacekeepers - a factor which directly contributes to ongoing commission of and impunity for such offences. Calling for a rights-based, transnational law response to these crimes, this engaging and thought-provoking work will appeal to international practitioners, governments, UN policy-makers, and scholars of international, military and criminal law.--

The Nuremberg Trial may well be the most famous trial of the twentieth century, which is as it should be. After all, the Nuremberg Trial, while perhaps not as unprecedented as is frequently assumed, did mark a decisive turning point in the history of international law. It marked the first broadly successful attempt to impose the rule of law not just on the conduct of war but also, in a limited way, on domestic atrocities as well. The fame of this single trial has had the unfortunate side-effect of overshadowing the literally thousands of other Nazi trials that took place after World War II, however. These additional trials can be divided into three categories: those that took place in the domestic courts of victim nations, those that took place in occupation courts, and, perhaps least well-known, those that took place inGermancourts.

One of the key features that culminated in the collapse of Communism in the late 1980s and early 1990s was a growing demand from within the societies affected that the state and the people be seen as separate, and that there be explicit recognition of the role of civil society—distinct and separate from the state. A key element in this transformation has been the creation and establishment of independent legal systems; the authors analyse the evolution of legal services in Germany's New Bundesländer since 1989, assessing the extent to which access and social justice have been achieved. The analysis is based on data from a survey of lawyers in the former East Germany, which formed the major part of a three-year research project. The authors first look back to the former East Germany and show how independent lawyers ( Rechtsanwälte) were progressively eliminated and marginalised as the Communist state became established, with dire consequences for the creation of an indigenous legal service after unification. In the second section they examine the evolution of the service provided by lawyers in private practice since 1990, concentrating on the growth in numbers, the composition of the profession, and its geographical distribution within the New Bundesländer. Third, attention is directed at changing attitudes to the law and legal services through the eyes of the lawyers who chiefly provide them. The authors conclude that given the magnitude of the task, progress has been encouraging and that very few people in the New Bundesländer are completely denied a local legal service, even if it may not be as attuned to their needs as they would ideally wish.
