Participation in international peace operations has become a key
component of the foreign policy strategy of many countries
worldwide. Italy and China have been, and are currently, involved
in various efforts to maintain and promote international peace and
security, including Peacekeeping Operations (PKOs). This book
offers a description of the two countries' engagement in
international peace operations, analyzing it through the lenses of
law, sociology, history, and politics. The specific experiences of
Italy and China provide an excellent opportunity for comparing and
contrasting how and why foreign powers intervene in the name of
peace. At the same time, this book focuses on a number of crucial
challenges PKOs are currently facing (training of personnel,
ensuring accountability, effectively assisting war-torn States in
their rehabilitation effort), and tries to explain how Italy,
China, and other international actors are trying to respond to the
many dilemmas and contradictions of postwar peace. Contributors
include academics from a wide range of disciplines and interests,
diplomats, and practitioners involved in international peace
operations.
This book centres on the war that raged between Eritrea and
Ethiopia from 1998 to 2000, a war that caused great loss of life
and tremendous devastation. It analyses the war in great detail
from an international legal perspective: the nature and the state
of the boundary conflict preceding the actual armed conflict, the
military actions themselves, the role of the UN peace-keeping
mission, the responsibility for the multitude of explosive remnants
of the war left behind. Ample attention is paid to the decisions of
the Eritrea-Ethiopia Claims Commission and the Eritrea-Ethiopia
Boundary Commission. This study is not limited to the war and the
period immediately following it, it also examines its more extended
aftermath prolonging the analysis as far as the more recent
improvement in the relations between Eritrea and Ethiopia, away
from a situation of 'no war, no peace' that prevailed after the
armed conflict ended. The analysis of the war and its aftermath is
not only in terms of international legal issues, it has been placed
in a wider than strictly legal perspective. The book is a valuable
work for academics and practitioners in international law, human
rights and humanitarian law in particular, for political
scientists, diplomats, civil servants, historians, and all those
others seriously interested in the Horn of Africa. Andrea de Guttry

This book constitutes the first comprehensive publication on the
duty of care of internationalorganizations towards their civilian
personnel sent on missions and assignments outsideof their normal
place of activity. While the work of the civilian personnel of
internationalorganizations often carries an inherent risk, the
regulations, policies and practices of theemployer can help to
address and mitigate that risk. In this book, the specific content
and scope of the duty of care under international law is
clarifiedby conducting an unprecedented investigation into relevant
jurisprudence and legal sources.Included is a critical assessment
of the policies of selected international organizations while aset
of guiding principles on the duty of care of international
organizations is also presented. This publication fills a gap in
the existing academic literature on the topic and is
aimedparticularly at academics and practitioners interested in the
legal implications of the deploymentof civilian personnel abroad by
international organizations. This includes scholarsand
university-level students specializing in international law,
international human rightslaw, the law of international
organizations, labour law, EU law, international administrativelaw
and the UN system, and practitioners, such as lawyers and
consultants, representing oradvising international organizations or
their personnel on the legal aspects of deployment. The book is
also aimed at the senior management of international organizations
and at theirofficers in charge of recruitment, human resources,
training and security, in that it clarifiestheir legal obligations
and provides concrete examples of the policies various
internationalorganizations have in place for the protection of
civilian personnel. Current and prospectivecivilian personnel of
international organizations should also find the book useful
forclarifying their rights and duties. Andrea de Guttry is Full

This book offers various perspectives, with an international legal
focus, on an important and underexplored topic, which has recently
gained momentum: the issue of foreign fighters. It provides an
overview of challenges, pays considerable attention to the status
of foreign fighters, and addresses numerous approaches, both at the
supranational and national level, on how to tackle this problem.

With a Foreword by Kristalina Georgieva, European Commissioner for
International Cooperation, Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Response
Over the last decades natural and man-made disasters have been
increasing in terms of frequency, size, number of people affected
and material damage caused. There is growing awareness of the
importance of adequate national and international legal frameworks
for disaster prevention, mitigation and response. The
implementation of these frameworks, however, poses serious
challenges. This book analyses International Disaster Response Law
as developed in recent times and identifies the main existing
normative gaps. The authors address the rights and duties of States
in preventing and mitigating disasters, in facilitating access to
their territory for humanitarian relief actors, as well as issues
related to liability and compensation. Due attention is paid to
European Union law governing disaster response (and to its reform
in the light of the Lisbon Treaty) and to the main trends in
domestic legislation. Human rights obligations are thoroughly
examined and the potential relevance of international criminal law
is assessed. Additional topics such as the status of relief
personnel, the hindrances to the delivery of relief consignments by
customs and excise administration, the use of civilian and military
defence assets in emergency situations, the mechanisms and
procedures available to offer financial support for recovery and
rehabilitation, risk insurance, and the issue of corruption during
disaster-related activities are specifically addressed. By drawing
on the expertise of lawyers, political scientists, economists and
humanitarian practitioners, the book promotes much-needed
interdisciplinary dialog and sheds light on a largely uncharted
field of research. It is therefore essential reading for academics
and practitioners in international and EU law, policy makers, civil
protection and humanitarian operators and for anyone interested in
exploring the legal facets of the international community's
response to large-scale calamitous events. Over the last decades

The war that raged between Eritrea and Ethiopia from 1998 to 2000
has caused great loss of life and tremendous devastation. This book
analyses from an international legal perspective the nature and the
state of the boundary conflict preceding the actual armed conflict,
the military actions themselves as well as developments in the
aftermath of the military activities, like the role of the UN
peace-keeping deployment and the responsibility for the multitude
of explosive remnants of the war. The authors address the complex
issues of responsibility for the use of force, violations of
humanitarian law and 'borderline' issues regarding situations where
the law of armed conflict and the (successive) law of peace meet.
Ample attention is paid to the decisions of the Eritrea-Ethiopia
Claims Commission and the Eritrea-Ethiopia Boundary Commission. The
analysis of this war is not limited to international legal issues,
but has been placed in a wider than strictly legal perspective. It
is a valuable work for academics and practitioners in international
law, political scientists, diplomats, civil servants and
historians. Andrea de Guttry is Professor of International Law at
the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna di Studi Universitari e di
Perfezionamento, Pisa, Italy. Harry Post is Professor of
International Law at the Universita degli Studi di Modena e Reggio
Emilia, Italy. Gabriella Venturini is Professor of International
Law at the University of Milan, Italy.
This book explores the interplay between International Law and
Chemical, Biological, Radio-Nuclear (CBRN) risks. An all-hazards
approach is adopted to cover events of intentional, accidental and
natural origin, and international obligations are presented
according to the phases of the emergency management cycle,
including prevention, preparedness, response and recovery.
