In the past decade, artificial intelligence (AI) has become a disruptive force around the world, offering enormous potential for innovation but also creating hazards and risks for individuals and the societies in which they live. This volume addresses the most pressing philosophical, ethical, legal, and societal challenges posed by AI. Contributors from different disciplines and sectors explore the foundational and normative aspects of responsible AI and provide a basis for a transdisciplinary approach to responsible AI. This work, which is designed to foster future discussions to develop proportional approaches to AI governance, will enable scholars, scientists, and other actors to identify normative frameworks for AI to allow societies, states, and the international community to unlock the potential for responsible innovation in this critical field. This book is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Human Rights, Democracy, and Legitimacy in a World of Disorder brings together respected scholars from diverse disciplines to examine a trio of key concepts that help to stabilize states and the international order. While used pervasively by philosophers, legal scholars, and politicians, the precise content of these concepts is disputed, and they face new challenges in the conditions of disorder brought by the twenty-first century. This volume will explore the interrelationships and possible tensions between human rights, democracy, and legitimacy, from the philosophical, legal, and political perspectives; as well as the role of these concepts in addressing particular problems such as economic inequality, catastrophic risks posed by new technologies, access to health care, regional governance, and responses to mass migration. Comprising essays arising from an interdisciplinary symposium convened at Harvard Law School in 2016, this volume will examine how these trusted concepts may bring order to the global community.

Mit Regelungen zu Fragen der modernen Medizin und Biotechnologie werden Entscheidungen getroffen, die das Selbstverständnis einer Gesellschaft oft grundlegend berühren. Auf unbestrittene, ausdifferenzierte, rechtliche oder ethische Standards kann dabei kaum zurückgegriffen werden. Zugleich stellt der ständige Fortschritt von Wissenschaft und Praxis die Effektivität rechtsförmiger Entscheidungsverfahren auf die Probe.Dieser interdisziplinäre Band wendet sich der Frage zu, wie diese ethisch-rechtlichen Herausforderungen in nationalen Rechtsordnungen, auf der Ebene der Europäischen Union und im Bereich des Völkerrechts in demokratisch oder anderweitig legitimer Weise bewältigt werden.

The interrelation between different fields of public international law has particular relevance for the systematic understanding of international law. The book contains a collection of essays on the law of the sea and its interdependencies with other current legal issues of global importance. The issue of the relationship between global warming and law of the sea matters are one focus. In a second thematic section the collection addresses the global commons. The third part deals with security issues. The recent increase in piracy activities has shown the relevance of discussing the linkage between the law of the sea and security issues.

Ziel des Buches ist es, das neue Phänomen der "Ethisierung des Rechts" interdisziplinär zu erfassen und damit das grundsätzliche Verhältnis von Ethik und Recht neu zu bestimmen. Dies geschieht zum einen durch die Untersuchung des theoretischen Fundaments der Beziehung von Recht und Ethik im 21. Jahrhundert. Zum anderen wird an unterschiedlichen Rechts- und Lebensbereichen aufgezeigt, wie ethische Normen das nationale, europäische und internationale Recht durchdringen und ergänzen und wie die dabei auftretenden Probleme gelöst werden können.

The events of 11 September 2001 have provoked reactions to fight ter­ rorist activities in national legal orders all over the world. They have also led to significant developments in international law with respect to combating terrorism by military and non-military action. In order to study and discuss these newer developments of the worldwide cam­ paign against terrorism the Max-Planck-Institute on Comparative Pub­ lic law and International Law organized a Conference entitled «Terror­ ism as a Challenge for National and International Law", which was held in Heidelberg on 24 and 25 January 2003. In preparation of the conference national reports had been written, in which the legal developments in selected countries and legal orders be­ fore and after 11 September 2001 were analyzed. The aim was on the one hand to visualize specific problems of counter-terrorist action on the national level and on the other hand to focus on possible structural changes in the legislation of the states concerned. The national reports were used as a basis for comparative presentations at the conference which analyzed the development concerning certain subject matters, such as the definition of terrorism, human rights protection etc. To ini­ tialize the discussiop and for the examination of the theses set up in the papers renowned scholars from Germany and abroad had been asked to commentate on the presentations. This volume contains the material prepared for the conference.

Die Umwelt wird in internationalen bewaffneten Konflikten nicht allein durch das Kriegsvölkerrecht geschützt. Dies zeigen die Untersuchungen dieses Buches. Anwendung finden auch die Bestimmungen des (Friedens-)Umweltvölkerrechts, welche die Umwelt im Interesse der Staatengemeinschaft als Ganzes schützen. Dazu gehören u.a. die Bestimmungen zum Schutz der Umwelt der Antarktis und des Weltraums, die umweltschützenden Vorschriften des Seerechtsübereinkommens sowie die Klimarahmenkonvention und das Übereinkommen zum Schutz der biologischen Vielfalt. Sie binden - in Analogie insbesondere zu Menschenrechtsverträgen - die sich bekämpfenden Staaten. Nur ausnahmsweise und bei Vorliegen besonderer Notlagen während eines bewaffneten Konfliktes kann eine Modifizierung dieser Pflichten zum Schutz der Umwelt angenommen werden.

Since the cloning of human beings has become technically conceivable, a controversial ethical and legal debate on the desirability and admissibility of human cloning has evolved. The issue touches questions from different disciplines, such as biology, philosophy, theology and law. This book, although mainly focusing on the legal problems, therefore tries to find an interdisciplinary approach to this controversial subject. It contains contributions from philosophers, theologians, and a biochemist, as well as from national and international lawyers. In the first part, a philosophical and theological outline is presented by scholars considering the topic from different cultural and religious (Christian, Muslim, Buddhist and Jewish)viewpoints. Subsequently, the biological foundations are explained by leading scholars in this field. The final two parts are dedicated to the legal questions, considering first the situation under German constitutional law and then on the international plane. In the comprehensive Annex, the most relevant documents for the International (in particular from the UN), European and German legal systems are presented.
