The twenty-five years following the conclusion of the Cold War
witnessed an unprecedented intensification of the usage of UN
sanctions. This Research Handbook maps how UN sanctions multiplied
and diversified during this period and analyses the substantive and
procedural transformations to UN sanctions regimes, through the
lens of international law. Expert contributors explore different
types of UN sanctions regimes, most notably counter-terrorism
regimes, counter-proliferation regimes and conflict-resolution
regimes. They trace developments across these regimes, such as
increased references to international legal standards in sanctions
design and procedure as well as interplays with other processes and
informal arrangements. Key chapters also specifically examine
synergies between UN sanctions and unilateral measures and explore
the different legal frameworks that shape and govern these
respective regimes. Offering a holistic study of UN sanctions, this
Research Handbook identifies cross-cutting issues and common
challenges in order to provide an outlook on the future of UN
sanctions in a 21st century setting. Comprehensive and engaging,
students and scholars of international law and human rights law, as
well as international relations more widely, will find this book an
essential companion. Its forward-thinking approach will also
benefit legal practitioners at the UN, other international
organisations and law firms. Contributors include: M. Azeredo da

International criminal law is shaped by the influence of individual
scholars and the impact of specific rulings and legal frameworks.
This volume provides a fresh perspective on the table of contents
of international criminal law. It revisits the sources, treatment
and reception of doctrine and jurisprudence from an
inter-generational perspective. It analyses the role of scholars
and practitioners (e.g, Arendt,Damaska, Cassese) on the
conceptualisation of law and jurisprudence. Then, it assesses the
goals and scope of international criminal law, including
contemporary developments relating to the interplay between
international and domestic jurisdiction (e.g., verticality,
complementarity, gravity), the role of actors (e.g., state crime,
corporations, private military companies) and crime definitions
(aggression, child recruitment). This is followed by a review of
key concepts of individual responsibility (e.g, joint criminal
enterprise, co-perpetration, conspiracy) and procedural law (e.g.,
role of witnesses and victims, arrest). Geared to academics,
practitioners and NGOs
Few events have influenced our global order as intensely as the
events of September 11, 2001. At various levels in the past ten
years, persistent attempts have been made to address the threat of
terrorism, yet there is still urgent need for a joint and coherent
application of a variety of regulations relating to international
criminal justice co-operation, the use of force and international
human rights law. In an important contribution to international
discourse, Larissa van den Herik and Nico Schrijver examine the
relationship between different branches of international law and
their applicability to the problem of terrorism and
counter-terrorism. Using a unique combination of academic
perspectives, practitioners' insights and a comprehensive
three-part approach, Counter-terrorism Strategies in a Fragmented
International Legal Order offers sound policy recommendations
alongside thorough analysis of the state of international law
regarding terrorism and provides fresh insights against the
backdrop of recent practice.
This edited volume focuses on developments in recognizing,
investigating, and prosecuting cases of sexual violence in
(post-)conflict situations from an interdisciplinary angle. The
investigation and prosecution of these cases raises new and
challenging questions as to how to build evidence, but also how to
address victims' concerns in that process. It addresses innovations
and challenges of empirical and other new kinds of social
scientific, archival and medical data collection techniques; the
development of evidence in relation to charges ranging from sexual
violence as a war crime, crime against humanity to genocide;
evidentiary and procedural achievements and challenges involved in
prosecuting sexual victimization in international courts; and how
to create awareness of sexual violence crimes in order to recognize
such crimes and to prevent them in the future. Contributors: Lynn
