For some time, the word 'crisis' has been dominating international
political discourse. But this is nothing new. Crisis has always
been part of the discipline of international law. History indeed
shows that international law has developed through reacting to
previous experiences of crisis, reflecting an agreement on what it
takes to avoid their repetition. However, human society evolves and
challenges existing rules, structures, and agreements.
International law is confronted with questions as to the
suitability of the existing legal framework for new stages of
development. Ulrich and Ziemele here bring together an expert group
of scholars to address the question of how international law
confronts crises today in terms of legal thought, rule-making, and
rule-application. The editors have characterized international law
and crisis discourse as one of a dialectical nature, and have
grouped the articles contained in the volume under four main
themes: security, immunities, sustainable development, and
philosophical perspectives. Each theme pertains to an area of
international law which at the present moment in time is subject to
notable challenges and confrontations from developments in human
society. The surprising general conclusion which emerges is that,
by and large, the international legal system contains concepts,
principles, rules, mechanisms and formats for addressing the
various developments that may prima facie seem to challenge these
very same elements of the system. Their use, however, requires
informed policy decisions.
