The 2010 Kampala Amendments to the Rome Statute empowered the International Criminal Court to prosecute the ''supreme crime'' under international law: the crime of aggression. This landmark commentary provides the first analysis of the history, theory, legal interpretation and future of the crime of aggression. As well as explaining the positions of the main actors in the negotiations, the authoritative team of leading scholars and practitioners set out exactly how countries have themselves criminalized illegal war-making in domestic law and practice. In light of the anticipated activation of the Court''s jurisdiction over this crime in 2017, this work offers, over two volumes, a comprehensive legal analysis of how to understand the material and mental elements of the crime of aggression as defined at Kampala. Alongside The Travaux Préparatoires of the Crime of Aggression (Cambridge, 2011), this commentary provides the definitive resource for anyone concerned with the illegal use of force.

The intense and polemical debate over the legality and morality of weapons systems to which human cognitive functions are delegated (up to and including the capacity to select targets and release weapons without further human intervention) addresses a phenomena which does not yet exist but which is widely claimed to be emergent. This groundbreaking collection combines contributions from roboticists, legal scholars, philosophers and sociologists of science in order to recast the debate in a manner that clarifies key areas and articulates questions for future research. The contributors develop insights with direct policy relevance, including who bears responsibility for autonomous weapons systems, whether they would violate fundamental ethical and legal norms, and how to regulate their development. It is essential reading for those concerned about this emerging phenomenon and its consequences for the future of humanity.

"Paris 1919-1920: Frieden durch Recht?" – In diesem Band, der Essays aus den Federn des Historikers Markus Payk, des Politikwissenschaftlers Herfried Münkler sowie der Rechtswissenschaftler Claus Kreß und Angelika Nußberger vereint, wird dieser Frage nicht "nur" in ihrem unmittelbaren historischen Sinn nachgegangen. Vielmehr möchte der Band auch dazu anregen, die Frage der Verrechtlichung der internationalen Beziehungen von den Jahren 1919 und 1920 in Paris und der Zwischenkriegszeit aus auf Gegenwart und Zukunft der internationalen Beziehungen hin zu erweitern. Denn die aktuelle Weltlage gibt dringenden Anlass dazu, darüber nachzudenken, ob der "behütende" Einsatz für die Sicherung des Weltfriedens durch eine vergleichsweise starke weltumspannende Völkerrechtsordnung erhöht werden sollte.Mit Beiträgen vonMarcus Payk, Angelika Nußberger, Claus Kreß und Herfried Münkler.
