Over the past twenty years, National Human Rights Institutions
(NHRIs) have moved from the periphery to the centre of the human
rights debate. The potential of NHRIs to transmit and implement
international norms at the domestic level, and to transfer human
rights expertise to regional and global human rights fora, is
increasingly recognised. In Europe, the continent with the widest
variety and density of human rights protection mechanisms, NHRIs
are also gradually gaining recognition as actors that can enable
more comprehensive and effective human rights promotion and
protection. This book, the result of a COST conference held in
Leuven in April 2012, focuses on the functioning and role of NHRIs
in Europe in a comparative, European and international perspective.
At a time when the European Union is looking for a more coherent
and strategic human rights policy, it is important that policy
makers and academics pay more attention to the potential role of
NHRIs. By bringing together contributions from academics and
practitioners, this volume offers insights into the opportunities
and challenges that accompany the increasing emergence of NHRIs in
Europe and their proliferation on the multiple levels of human
rights promotion and protection. Accordingly, this volume aims to
inform and further trigger the NHRI debate in Europe.
"Road Traffic Reports" is a series of full length law reports of
all reportable decisions in higher courts on road traffic law.
Every report in RTR is prepared by a barrister, and can be relied
upon for citation as precedent in all courts. Many of the decisons
reported are too specialized to appear in a general series. An
average of some 100 full length reports is published in each
volume, more than 50% of which have not appeared elsewhere.
This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open
Access programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com.
It is funded by the University of Leicester. Between 1415, when the
Portuguese first used convicts for colonization purposes in the
North African enclave of Ceuta, to the 1960s and the dissolution of
Stalin's gulags, global powers including the Spanish, Dutch,
Portuguese, British, Russians, Chinese and Japanese transported
millions of convicts to forts, penal settlements and penal colonies
all over the world. A Global History of Convicts and Penal Colonies
builds on specific regional archives and literatures to write the
first global history of penal transportation. The essays explore
the idea of penal transportation as an engine of global change, in
which political repression and forced labour combined to produce
long-term impacts on economy, society and identity. They
investigate the varied and interconnected routes convicts took to
penal sites across the world, and the relationship of these convict
flows to other forms of punishment, unfree labour, military service
and indigenous incarceration. They also explore the lived worlds of
convicts, including work, culture, religion and intimacy, and
convict experience and agency.
As the arbitration of internal trust disputes has attracted
significant attention amongst the arbitration and trust law
communities in recent years, this book provides a timely and
comprehensive examination of the ways of overcoming challenges
associated with trust arbitration. Rebutting arguments made against
the enforceability of trust arbitration clauses, it highlights key
traps for the unwary when drafting such clauses, and thereby
provides readers with the necessary knowledge to enter by the
narrow gate of trust arbitration, rather than by the broad gate of
trust litigation. Key features include: Guidance for the drafting
of trust arbitration clauses In-depth analysis of the European
Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and natural justice issues posed
by trust arbitration Comparisons between several commonwealth
jurisdictions to determine how trust arbitration could work in each
system Analysis and commentary on multiple common law trust
arbitration statutes, as well as relevant international treaties,
including the Hague Trust Convention and the New York Convention
Arbitrators, private client lawyers, trust professionals and
scholars will greatly benefit from the detailed analysis and
commentary in this book. Accessible in style, it will also prove
invaluable to students of arbitration or trust law.

First published in 1917, Satow's Diplomatic Practice has long been
hailed as a classic and authoritative text. An indispensable guide
for anyone working in or studying the field of diplomacy, this
seventh, centenary edition builds on the extensive revision in the
sixth edition. The volume provides an enlarged and updated section
on the history of diplomacy, including the exponential growth in
multilateral diplomacy, and revises comprehensively the practice of
diplomacy and the corpus of diplomatic and international law since
the end of the Cold War. It traces the substantial expansion in
numbers both of sovereign states and international and regional
organisations and features detailed chapters on diplomatic
privileges and immunities, diplomatic missions, and consular
matters, treaty-making and conferences. The volume also examines
alternative forms of diplomacy, from the work of NGOs to the use of
secret envoys, as well as a study of the interaction with
intelligence agencies and commercial security firms. It also
discusses the impact of international terrorism and other violent
non-state actors on the life and work of a diplomat. Finally, in
recognition of the speed of changes in the field over the last ten
years, this seventh edition examines the developments and
challenges of modern diplomacy through new chapters on human rights
and public/digital diplomacy by experts in their respective fields.
This forward-looking book provides an in-depth analysis of the
major transformations of the right to health in Latin America over
the past decades, marked by the turn towards the
pharmaceuticalisation of health care. Everaldo Lamprea-Montealegre
investigates how health-based litigation has deepened inequalities
in the global South, exploring the practices of key actors that are
reclaiming the right to health in the region. Taking a deep dive
into the health care systems of Brazil and Colombia, Local
Maladies, Global Remedies illustrates how transnational
pharmaceutical companies are influencing the litigation of health
rights, from moulding doctors' preferences for branded drugs to
controlling the availability of cheaper generics and bio-similars.
The book deploys a wide range of theoretical perspectives and
insights from socio-legal literature to map out the practices of
stakeholders that are reclaiming the right to health in Latin
America. Its concluding remarks propose a set of remedies to help
alleviate the challenges faced by global South countries when
trying to guarantee their population's right to health, ultimately
calling for a major shift of decision-making responsibilities from
a local to a global level. The wide-ranging, interdisciplinary
scope of this cutting-edge book will benefit scholars,
practitioners, policymakers, and students operating at the
intersections between socio-legal studies, sociology, health
anthropology, public health, globalisation, and human rights.
We live in an era in which privacy and data protection are daily
news items. This tendency demonstrates that privacy and data
protection are taken seriously in wide circles of our society. Most
of the time, however, issues relating to privacy and data
protection are not newsworthy because these rights have been so
well protected. It is the scandals that make the news, the latest
example being the NSA affair which has dominated the news for
months. These news stories create a feeling of discomfort and lead
to diminishing trust - diminishing trust of citizens in companies
they deal with, in their governments, in supranational entities
such as the European Union, in the law, and diminishing trust
between countries. This book defines the restoration of this trust
in relation to privacy and data protection as the most pressing
challenge. It reflects on the state of play in the area of privacy
and personal data protection in Europe and the United States at the
start of 2014. The authors discuss the issues from different
perspectives, such as constitutional values and the role of the
judiciary, the role of the legislator and independent control, and
transatlantic relations. This volume collects contributions of a
large number of outstanding academic scholars, legal practitioners,
regulators and politicians from Europe as well as the United
States. All contributions are written in honour of Peter Hustinx,
the first European Data Protection Supervisor who will step down in
2014, after ten successful years in office and after a long and
impressive career in the area of privacy and data protection. A
recommended read for everyone interested in privacy and data
protection and more generally in the complex relations between law
and the information society.
In the last couple of decades the national administrative law of
the Member States has been influenced by case law from the Court of
Justice of the European Union (CJEU). One of the main objectives of
this research is to examine this influence and more specifically
the influence of EU law on cooperation between public authorities.
The present work examines how and to what extent EU (public
procurement) law has an influence on the way a public authority
organises and discharges its public service tasks. The object of
this book is limited to cooperative agreements (public contracts
and service concessions) concluded between public authorities as a
means to organise or discharge public service tasks. Public
authorities and private enterprises should be made aware as far as
possible of the potential impact of EU law on certain types of
cooperative agreements. This knowledge will prevent situations
where the public authorities are post facto confronted with
lawsuits that might force them to withdraw completely from
cooperative associations that are already underway. It also enables
private enterprises to be aware that in this context they may
benefit from an open market. The book gives lawyers and
practitioners in the field the most actual theoretical and
practical background on the subject.
European law has come to influence almost all fields of national
law, including administrative, constitutional, contract, criminal
and even tort law. But what is the European Union? How does it
work? How does it produce European law? This book uses a clear
framework to guide readers through all core constitutional and
substantive topics of EU law. New content includes: a Brexit
chapter covering the negotiation process and the possible future
relationships between the United Kingdom and the European Union,
new EU private international law and EU criminal law sections, and
extended coverage of delegated legislation, human rights and free
movement of persons. All chapters reflect judicial and legislative
practice up to 31st December 2017. Key features include case
extracts accompanied by extensive critical discussion of the
theoretical and practical aspects of EU law, over 100 figures and
tables clarifying complex topics and a companion website with full
'Lisbonised' versions of cited cases and many extra materials.
