This book offers key insights into contemporary security politics and transatlantic relations, and will be of interest to students and researchers in the fields of international relations, security studies, and European politics."--Jacket

THE MEANING AND SCOPE OF 'ASSEMBLY' IN INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS LAW
In: The international & comparative law quarterly: ICLQ, Volume 69, Issue 3, p. 521-556
ISSN: 1471-6895
AbstractInformed by the 'assembly' jurisprudence of the United Nations Human Rights Committee, this article addresses fundamental questions about the meaning and scope of 'assembly' in Article 21 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). In seeking to determine when the right of peaceful assembly might properly be engaged, the article explores the interrelationship of assembly with expression and association and proposes a definition of 'assembly'—for the purposes of its protection—as 'an intentional gathering by two or more people (including in private and online/virtual spaces)'. Such definitional reflection is particularly timely in light of the Human Rights Committee's drafting of General Comment No 37 on Article 21.
INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN LAW AND COUNTER-TERRORISM: FUNDAMENTAL VALUES, CONFLICTING OBLIGATIONS
In: The international & comparative law quarterly: ICLQ, Volume 69, Issue 1, p. 43-78
ISSN: 1471-6895
AbstractThe interaction of international counter-terrorism laws with IHL is an area of renewed focus, amid widespread concern that the former are being (mis)applied to criminalise the provision of humanitarian assistance envisaged under the latter. The Security Council has begun to consider this issue in resolutions adopted in March and July 2019, but difficult questions of law and fact remain. These questions have significant practical consequences—for humanitarian agencies and those they seek to assist, as well as for States that must weigh different, and possibly conflicting, legal obligations. Much of the analysis to date and the solutions proposed, pay insufficient attention to the specifics of each legal regime.

International migration in Western Europe: reflections on the past five years
In: International labour review, Volume 118, Issue 4, p. 401-414
ISSN: 0020-7780
Der Bericht über die internationalen Wanderungen in Westeuropa - vornehmlich in den letzten fünf Jahren - befaßt sich mit den jüngsten Entwicklungen in diesem Bereich: 1. Zunahme der Zahl der Rückwanderungen. Dies muß im Zusammenhang mit der wirtschaftlichen Entwicklung in den Aufnahmeländern in den 70er Jahren gesehen werden. 2. Einführung einer neuen ILO (International Labour Office) - Konvention und -Empfehlung zu diesem Thema. Sie beschäftigt sich in erster Linie mit illegaler oder heimlicher Einwanderung, die - auch zum Schutz vor Mißbrauch des Einzelnen - verhindert werden muß, und der Situation des Gastarbeiters im allgemeinen, wobei gleiche Rechte und Möglichkeiten das Ziel sind. 3. Entwicklung einer Neuen Internationalen Wirtschaftsordnung. Wanderungen, die hier relevant sind, haben meist ökonomische Gründe; sie sind meist eine Reaktion auf die Armut im Heimatland. 4. Die World Employment Conference 1976. Sie mißt den Interessen der Herkunfts- und Zielländer gleiches Gewicht bei und bezieht soziale neben ökonomischen Überlegungen mit ein. 5. Zunehmende Unterstützung der Ansicht, daß die Herkunftsländer für die Auswanderung ihrer Bürger entschädigt werden sollten. Die Auswanderung stellt für diese Länder - sowohl bei hochqualifizierten Arbeitskräften als auch bei einfachen Arbeitern - einen ökonomischen Ressourcenverlust dar und erweitert damit den Abstand zwischen armen und reichen Ländern - dies macht eine Kompensation erforderlich.

WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION AND THE ENVIRONMENT
In: Routledge library editions. International security studies, 23
The effects of weapons of mass destruction cannot be contained, either spatially or temporally, are unpredictable, discriminate poorly between combatants and civilians, and are highly disruptive of ecosystems. This book, first published in 1977, examines several WMD and analyses the extent and duration of environmental damage to be expected from them. Chapters are devoted to the ecological impacts of nuclear weapons, chemical and biological weapons, and geophysical and environmental weapons.
The International Law Commission's Draft Conclusions on Peremptory Norms of General International Law (jus cogens): Making Wine from Water or More Water than Wine
In: Nordic journal of international law, Volume 89, Issue 2, p. 244-270
ISSN: 1571-8107
In the summer of 2019, the UN International Law Commission adopted a set of Draft Conclusions on Peremptory Norms of General International Law (jus cogens) on first reading. The Draft Conclusions cover various aspects relating to the methodology for the identification of peremptory norms and consequences of peremptory norms. The elaboration of the Draft Conclusions by the Commission provides an opportunity for the clarification of peremptory norms in order to take it out of the proverbial garage. Whether this potential is fulfilled will depend on a number of factors, including whether the Draft Conclusions are coherent, reflect practice, and address important practical considerations. The article suggests that, drawing on existing instruments, the Draft Conclusions formulate existing rules in more precise ways, and do so in a coherent manner.
