In this book, Otto Spijkers describes how moral values have determined the founding of the United Nations Organization in 1945 and the evolution of its purposes, principles and policies since then. A detailed examination of the proceedings of the United Nations Conference on International Organization in San Francisco demonstrates that the drafting of the United Nations Charter was significantly influenced by global moral values, i.e. globally shared beliefs distinguishing right from wrong, good from bad, and the current from a preferable state-of-the-world. A common desire to eradicate war, poverty, inhuman treatment, and to halt the exploitation of peoples, has led to an affirmation of the values of peace and security, social progress and development, human dignity and the self-determination of all peoples. All these values ended up in the UN Charter.The book further analyzes how the United Nations, and especially its General Assembly, has continued to influence the maturing of global morality through contributions to the values-debate, and to the translation of these values into the language of international law, including the law on the use of force, sustainable development, human rights and the right to self-determination.

This unique volume looks at international peace treaties, at their results, effects and failures. It reflects the outcome of an international conference held in the Peace Palace (The Hague) on the occasion of the Centenary of this institution, which opened its doors on the eve of World War I. The volume offers the reflections of the leading experts attending the conference and the open debate which followed. The Treaty of Versailles of 1919, the mother of all peace treaties, is the first to be critically discussed. How should this treaty be viewed with the knowledge of today? What are the lessons learned in the light of historic developments? Subsequently, the Dayton Agreement, which sealed the end to the bloody conflict in the former Yugoslavia (1992-1995), and the Sudan Agreement, which came into being after lengthy negotiations in 2005, are analysed in the same way. Finally, the situations which arose in relation to the devastating wars between Iran and Iraq (1980-1988) and between Kuwait and Iraq are discussed. As these states could not reach a settlement themselves, the United Nations Security Council imposed the terms of the ceasefire and peaceful cooperation in important and innovative resolutions. The book offers additional perspective by looking at the role of judicial settlement by the International Court of Justice or the Permanent Court of Arbitration, vis-a-vis the instrument of political mediation between states with the help of a third party. Mediation can be very effective, but certain conditions are required for it to be successful, conditions which are not easy to bring about in today’s world. Dispute settlement under international law is and continues to be the core business in the Peace Palace.

Reparations in International Law: A Critical Reflection

This book on international law explores the ways in which traditional forms of reparation (restitution, compensation, and satisfaction) have been (re)interpreted since the rendering of the landmark Factory at Chorzów judgment in 1928 of the Permanent Court of International Justice. It examines how the concept of reparations has developed in international law and evolved to reflect broader community values like human rights, as well as criminal and transitional justice.Contributions to this year’s volume of the Netherlands Yearbook of International Law examine the ways in which reparation has been understood in the jurisprudence of various courts and jurisdictions including the International Court of Justice, the International Criminal Court, and the UN human rights treaty body system. Several regional or internationalised bodies are also examined, including the Inter-American and European Courts of Human Rights and the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia. The volume includes chapters focusing on recent efforts to repair historical wrongs — such as reparations for colonial times, dictatorial oppression, and failed peacekeeping missions — and the ways in which the legal principle of reparation has been conceptualised in support of these claims. The book illustrates the shift of reparations from a largely state-centric approach concerned with financial compensation, to a more victim-centred one that encompasses a diverse range of reparative measures. Despite this positive shift, multiple complex obstacles remain in the way of victims realising their right to reparation, including limited financial resources, ineffective victim consultation, long delays, and the absence of political will.The Netherlands Yearbook of International Law was first published in 1970. It offers a forum for the publication of scholarly articles in a varying thematic area of public international law.Chapter 13 is available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.
