There is a common perception of reciprocity as a concept that is opposed to the communitarian interests that characterise contemporary international law, or merely a way of denoting reactions to unfriendly or wrongful conduct. This book disputes this approach, and highlights how reciprocity is instead linked to the structural characteristic of sovereign equality of States in international law. This book carries out an in-depth analysis of the concept of reciprocity and the elements that characterise it, before examining the various roles and articulations of reciprocity in a number of fields of public international law: the law of treaties, the treatment of individuals, the execution of international law, and the jurisdiction of international courts and tribunals. In all these areas, it analyses both more traditional and more contemporary examples, to demonstrate how reciprocity is closely linked to the very structure of public international law.

Souveränität, Sicherheit, Rechte, Partizipation: Diese vier Makro-Themen sind durch die Auswirkungen der digitalen Technologien auf die Struktur des Völkerrechts stark betroffen. Aber welche Rolle spielt das Völkerrecht für das Internet? Und wie haben das Internet und die Plattformen, Cyberwaffen und Multistakeholder-Ansätze zur Rechtsetzung das Völkerrecht beeinflusst? Dieses Buch untersucht die wechselseitigen Einflüsse zwischen digitalen Technologien und Völkerrecht und trägt dazu bei, den hartnäckigen Mythos vom Internet als unreguliertem Raum zu entkräften. Auf diese Weise zeigt es aktuelle und zukünftige Forschungsfelder auf, die an der Schnittstelle zwischen Völkerrecht und digitalen Technologien entstehen und in Zukunft noch an Bedeutung gewinnen werden.

This book addresses fundamental aspects of the concept of public international law in both theory and practice. The argument developed by the author is that, underlying the traditional, horizontal, structure of public international law, a vertical structure of the concept of law may be discerned. This vertical structure is seen unfolding into two, mutually exclusive, frameworks: a framework of obligation, accounting for obligations, and a framework of authorization, accounting for rights. The problem then arising is that a concept of public international law which only admits either rights or obligations cannot be regarded as coherent. The author, however, takes and substantiates the position that coherence can be achieved by suppressing the mutual exclusivity of both frameworks. This move paves the way to formulating the function of public international law in terms of the constituting of international society.Since in public international law the theoretical aspects profoundly affect practice, this book is not only of interest to academics, but also for practitioners, such as officials of foreign offices and international institutions.
