Cybersecurity and Human Rights in the Age of Cyberveillance is a
collection of articles by distinguished authors from the US and
Europe and presents a contemporary perspectives on the limits
online of human rights. By considering the latest political events
and case law, including the NSA PRISM surveillance program
controversy, the planned EU data protection amendments, and the
latest European Court of Human Rights jurisprudence, it provides an
analysis of the ongoing legal discourse on global cyberveillance.
Using examples from contemporary state practice, including content
filtering and Internet shutdowns during the Arab Spring as well as
the PRISM controversy, the authors identify limits of state and
third party interference with individual human rights of Internet
users. Analysis is based on existing human rights standards, as
enshrined within international law including the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights, International Covenant on Civil and
Political Rights, European Convention on Human Rights and
recommendations from the Human Rights Council. The definition of
human rights, perceived as freedoms and liberties guaranteed to
every human being by international legal consensus will be
presented based on the rich body on international law. The book is
designed to serve as a reference source for early 21st century
information policies and on the future of Internet governance and
will be useful to scholars in the information studies fields,
including computer, information and library science. It is also
aimed at scholars in the fields of international law, international
relations, diplomacy studies and political science.
This book discusses the international legal issues underlying
Internet Governance and proposes an international solution to its
problems. The book encompasses a wide spectrum of current debate
surrounding the governance of the internet and focuses on the areas
and issues which urgently require attention from the international
community in order to sustain the proper functioning of the global
network that forms the foundation of our information fuelled
society. Among the topics discussed are international copyright
protection, state responsibility for cyber-attacks
(cyberterrorism), and international on-line privacy protection.
Taking a comparative approach by examining how different
jurisdictions such as the United States, the European Union, China
and Singapore have attempted various solutions to the problem of
Internet Governance, the author offers a practical solution to the
problem and is a proponent of International Internet Law. Kulesza
suggests that just as in the case of International Environmental
Law, an Internet Framework Convention could shape the starting
point for international cooperation and lead to a clear,
contractual division of state jurisdictional competences.
International Internet Law is of particular interest to legal
scholars engaged with the current challenges in international law
and international relations, as well as students of law,
international relations and political science. The issues discussed
in the book are also relevant to journalists and other media
professionals, facing the challenges of analyzing current
international developments in cyberspace.

Due Diligence in International Law identifies due diligence as the
missing link between state responsibility and international
liability. Acknowledged in all legal fields, it ensures
international peaceful cooperation and prevents significant
transboundary harm, yet it has thus far not been comprehensively
discussed in literature. The present volume fills this void.
Kulesza identifies due diligence as a principle of international
law and traces its evolution throughout centuries. The no-harm
principle, key to identifying responsibility for transboundary
harm, focal to international environmental law and applicable to
e.g. combating terrorism, follows states' obligation of due
diligence in preventing foreign harm. This obligation, present in
various treaty-based and customary regimes is argued to be a
principle of international public law applicable to all obligations
of conduct.
The need of monitoring and controlling the concentration of heavy
metal ions such as Pb(II) or Cd(II), which have toxic effects on
all living organisms inspires chemists to synthesise more and more
selective compounds able to recognize and to bind such metals. This
book presents a review as well as the own researches on synthesis
and binding abilities of calix 4]arene-derivatives, such as amides,
hydroxamates and their thiocarbonyl analogues. The theoretical
bases of the methods used to study ligand-cation interactions, such
as 1H NMR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, liquid-liquid
extraction, UV absorption spectrophotometry, potentiometry and
microcalorimetry are described and followed by the own results and
discussion. The last part of this book is ascribed to studies of
ionophoric properties of calix 4]arene-thioamides and calix
4]arene-hydroxamates in ion-selective membrane electrodes. The
results are followed by a short theoretical introduction to
ion-selective electrodes. The description of the most important
analytical methods used in supramolecular chemistry together with
the data interpretation, may serve as a guide for those working in
this field of chemistry.
