The history of international law is replete with concepts that have
generated change: individual criminal responsibility, common
heritage of mankind and sustainable development to name but a few.
These are concepts that have influenced the scope, structure and
purpose of international law. This book explores the extent to
which Responsibility to Protect (R2P) possesses the same
transformative potential, showing how R2P shifts our understanding
of both the potential and practice of international law.
Responsibility to Protect is both an ambitious and an ambiguous
concept in international law. Ambiguity creates space for debate
and the potential for legal development, but it may also generate
misunderstanding, false expectations and uncertainty. Despite its
ambiguity, R2P has quickly found a place within international legal
texts. At the same time its ambiguity or rather the tensions the
concept generates has also helped generate an enormous range of
scholarship. This collection of essays presents a more fundamental
critical evaluation of R2P, exploring how it interacts with
existing concepts and values, and how this influences normative
developments within international law. In particular, the essays
explore the influence of R2P upon sovereignty as responsibility,
the continued advance of positive human rights obligations and the
safeguarding of international community interests.These themes are
explored in a range of essays written by new and established
scholars. The essays explore the moral and political foundations of
R2P, the expansion of R2P to non-state actors, and the interaction
between R2P and certain branches of international law, such as use
of force, responsibility as liability, humanitarian law and
international criminal law.
The application of international law by domestic courts has gained
increasing attention in recent years. In an ever-more
interconnected world, domestic courts now make reference to
judgments by foreign courts when faced with similar or identical
legal problems involving international law. Their judgments see
increasing recognition of their pivotal role in shaping and
interpreting international law. Understanding them will be of use
for any practitioner and scholar in international law.
International Law in Domestic Courts, Oxford's online collection of
domestic court decisions which apply international law, has been
providing scholars with at-your-fingertips access to analysis and
commentary for more than a decade. First established in 2006, it
now includes over 1,700 judgments of cases involving international
law-related aspects from nearly 100 countries and continues to
expand. This Casebook is the perfect companion, presenting a
selection of the most important cases along with a commentary to
give a holistic overview of the use of international law in
national courts, and how the jurisprudence has developed
international law itself. Practitioners, students, and academics
will find this an invaluable resource when faced with the complex
questions of applying international law in domestic courts.
