Intersections of Law and Culture at the International Criminal Court (Hardcover): Julie Fraser, Brianne McGonigle Leyh Intersections of Law and Culture at the International Criminal Court (Hardcover)
Julie Fraser, Brianne McGonigle Leyh
R4,157 Discovery Miles 41 570 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This pioneering book explores the intersections of law and culture at the International Criminal Court (ICC), offering insights into how notions of culture affect the Court's legal foundations, functioning and legitimacy, both in theory and in practice. Leading scholars and legal practitioners take a multidisciplinary approach to challenge the view that international law is not limited or bound by a particular culture, arguing instead that law and culture are intertwined. Analysing how culture influences views of the law, the facts to which it applies, and the fairness of the outcome, the contributors consider the implications of culture and law for the ICC and its international reach. Chapters discuss important intersections of law and culture, from religion and politics to the definition of international crimes and their interpretation by judges. Highlighting the inherent but often overlooked role of 'culture' at the ICC, the book puts forward recommendations to aid the Court s future considerations. This book is a valuable resource for academics and students in a variety of fields including law, criminology, anthropology, international relations and political science. Its practical focus is also beneficial for legal practitioners and civil society organisations working in international criminal justice.

The European Court of Human Rights and its Discontents - Turning Criticism into Strength (Hardcover): Spyridon Flogaitis, Tom... The European Court of Human Rights and its Discontents - Turning Criticism into Strength (Hardcover)
Spyridon Flogaitis, Tom Zwart, Julie Fraser
R2,872 Discovery Miles 28 720 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The European Court of Human Rights has long been part of the most advanced human rights regime in the world. However, the Court has increasingly drawn criticism, with questions raised about its legitimacy and backlog of cases. This book for the first time brings together the critics of the Court and its proponents to debate these issues. The result is a collection which reflects balanced perspectives on the Court's successes and challenges. Judges, academics and policymakers engage constructively with the Court's criticism, developing novel pathways and strategies for the Court to adopt to increase its legitimacy, to amend procedures to reduce the backlog of applications, to improve dialogue with national authorities and courts, and to ensure compliance by member States. The solutions presented seek to ensure the Court's relevance and impact into the future and to promote the effective protection of human rights across Europe. Containing a dynamic mix of high-profile contributors from across Council of Europe member States, this book will appeal to human rights professionals, European policymakers and politicians, law and politics academics and students as well as human rights NGOs. Contributors: L. Bojin, M. Bossuyt, A. Bradley, A. Burkov, N. Burli, D. Davis, K. Dzehtsiarou, J. Fraser, J. Gerards, B. Kerr, P. Mahoney, E. Myjer, I. Opstelten, A. Sajo, A. Terlouw, W.

Social Institutions and International Human Rights Law Implementation - Every Organ of Society (Paperback, New Ed): Julie Fraser Social Institutions and International Human Rights Law Implementation - Every Organ of Society (Paperback, New Ed)
Julie Fraser
R926 Discovery Miles 9 260 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Having articulated numerous human rights norms and standards in international treaties, the pressing challenge today is their realisation in States' parties around the world. Domestic implementation has proven a difficult task for national authorities as well as international supervisory bodies. This book examines the traditional State-centric and legalistic approach to implementation, critiquing its limited efficacy in practice and failure to connect with local cultures. The book therefore explores the permissibility of other measures of implementation, and advocates more culturally sensitive approaches involving social institutions. Through an interdisciplinary case study of Islam in Indonesia, the book demonstrates the power of social institutions like religion to promote rights compliant positions and behaviours. Like the preamble of the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the book reiterates the role not just of the State but indeed 'every organ of society' in realising rights.
