The Routledge Handbook of Human Rights and Disasters provides the
first comprehensive review of the role played by international
human rights law in the prevention and management of natural and
technological disasters. Each chapter is written by a leading
expert and offers a state-of-the-art overview of a significant
topic within the field. In addition to focussing on the role of
human rights obligations in disaster preparedness and response, the
volume offers a broader perspective by examining how human rights
law interacts with other legal regimes and by addressing the
challenges facing humanitarian organizations. Preceded by a
foreword by the International Law Commission's Special Rapporteur
on the Protection of Persons in the Event of Disasters, the volume
is divided into four parts: Part I: Human rights law and disasters
in the framework of public international law Part II: Role and
application of human rights law in disaster settings Part III:
(Categories of) rights of particular significance in a disaster
context Part IV: Protection of vulnerable groups in disaster
settings Providing up-to-date and authoritative contributions
covering the key aspects of human rights protection in disaster
settings, this volume will be of great interest to scholars and
students of humanitarianism, international law, EU law, disaster
management and international relations, as well as to practitioners
in the field of disaster management.
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.
