Vi lever i en tid när gränsöverskridande rättsförhållanden blir en allt mer naturlig del av vår vardag. Med det ökade antalet internationella rättsförhållanden ökar också antalet potentiella tvister som har anknytning till mer än ett land. Makar med olika medborgarskap kanske kommer att vilja skiljas och den köpta produkten från det andra landet kanske var felaktig. När tvister av den här typen ska hanteras uppkommer särskilda problem. Vilka domstolar är behöriga att pröva tvister som anknyter till flera länder, och vilket lands lag ska domstolen tillämpa när målet prövas? Dessa och liknande frågor behandlas inom den internationella privat- och processrätten, som här presenteras på ett grundläggande och åskådligt sätt.

Boken är i första hand tänkt att användas i undervisning, som en introduktion till ämnet, men den lämpar sig väl för alla som vill bekanta sig med den internationella privat- och processrättens problem och få en grundläggande förståelse för hur de ska ska lösas.

Att offentliggöra yttranden som inte går över lagens gränser och som håller sig inom det etiskt försvarbara kräver kunskap och omdöme. Att publicera beskriver ingående de juridiska och etiska frågor och överväganden som uppstår vid insamling av uppgifter och publicering i massmedier som omfattas av tryckfrihetsförordningen (TF) och yttrandefrihetsgrundlagen (YGL). Boken redogör för de grundläggande fri- och rättigheterna, upphovsrättsliga frågor, offentlighetsprincipen och meddelarfriheten samt frågor om ansvar och etik. Att publicera är en saklig och lättillgänglig beskrivning av ett komplicerat regelverk och dess historiska rötter. Boken vänder sig främst till utgivare, journalister och journaliststudenter men utgör också en kunskapskälla för andra som är intresserade och vill utöva sina medborgerliga rättigheter.Denna tredje upplaga är uppdaterad och utökad. Lagändringar som började gälla 1 januari 2023 har tagits med. Rättsliga utslag och medieetiska prövningar till och med 1 februari 2023 har beaktats. Den nya upplagan har också försetts med en omfattande checklista vad gäller meddelarfriheten och en heltäckande beskrivning, steg för steg, av den medieetiska prövningen.

In 38 Londres Street, Philippe Sands blends personal memoir, historical detective work and gripping courtroom drama to probe a secret double story of mass murder, one that reveals a shocking thread that links the horrors of the 1940s with those of our own times. The house at 38 Londres Street is home to the legacies of two men whose personal stories span continents, nationalities and decades of atrocity: Augusto Pinochet, President of Chile, and Walther Rauff, a Nazi SS officer responsible for the use of gas vans.On the run from justice at the end of the Second World War, Rauff crosses the ocean to southern Chile. He settles in Punta Arenas, Patagonia, managing a king crab cannery at the end of the world. But there are whispers about this discreet and self-possessed German - rumours of a second career with Pinochet's secret intelligence service, the dreaded DINA.In 1998, Pinochet is in a London medical clinic when the police enter his room and arrest him on charges of crimes against humanity and genocide. Philippe Sands is called to advise the former head of state on his claim to immunity, but will instead represent a human rights organisation against him. Years later, Sands makes a discovery while working on another book which reignites his interest in the case and leads to a decades-long investigation into Pinochet's crimes, his unexpected connection to Rauff and the former Nazi's possible connection to Chile's disappeared.

The First World War threw the imperial order into crisis. New states emerged from the great European land empires, while Germany's African and Pacific colonies, and the Ottoman provinces in the Middle East fell into allied hands. Britain, France, Belgium, Japan, and the British dominions wanted to keep the new states, but Woodrow Wilson and the millions converted to the ideal of self-determination thought otherwise. At the Paris Peace conference of 1919, the allies agreed reluctantly to govern their new conquests according to international and humanitarian norms and under 'mandate' from the League of Nations. As The Guardians shows, this decision had enormous consequences. The allies sought to use the League to safeguard imperial authority, but that authority was undermined by the mechanisms for international oversight they had themselves created. Colonial nationalists and humanitarians exploited new rights of petition or opportunities for publicity to expose abuses or scandals; Germans resentful of the loss of their colonies and Italians eager to found a new empire arrived in Geneva to demand a repartition of the spoils. As imperial politicians wearied of continual scandals and crises - revolts in South West Africa, Syria, Samoa, and Palestine; famine in Rwanda; labour abuses in New Guinea; extortionate oil contracts in Iraq - they began to question whether independent states might be easier to deal with than territories subject to international scrutiny. Drawing on research in four continents and dozens of archives, and bringing to life a global network of nationalists, humanitarians, international bureaucrats, and imperial statesmen, The Guardians offers an entirely new interpretation of the importance of international organizations in the emergence of the modern world order.

Svensk internationell privat- och processrätt har under de senaste årtiondena fått stor praktisk betydelse i samband med det svenska närings- och privatlivets ständigt pågående internationalisering. Betydligt oftare än förr möter man i Sverige familje- och förmögenhetsrättsliga förhållanden som inte håller sig inom ett enda lands gränser, vilket ger upphov till en rad rättsliga problem.

Boken syftar till att användas både inom den akademiska juristutbildningen och i det praktiska rättslivet. Notapparaten är avsedd att utgöra en selektiv introduktion i nordisk litteratur för läsare som behöver fördjupade kunskaper i vissa delar av ämnet.

De avtalskonstruktioner och kutymer som i dag tillämpas inom den internationella sjöfarten har vuxit fram under århundraden – vissa begrepp och regler under årtusenden. Även om jurister har påverkat avtals och lagars utformning så är branschens regler utvecklade av sjöfartsverksamma personer iland och till sjöss. Ambitionen med boken är att informera om frågor som hanteras då kommersiella sjöfartsrelaterade avtal förhandlas, formuleras och tillämpas. Boken vänder sig både till sjöfartspraktiker, ombord och iland, och till ekonomer, jurister och andra som tillfälligt eller långvarigt kommer i kontakt med sjöfarten och som behöver ytterligare information i enskilda frågor och tips om hur de avtal som behövs kan utformas. Utöver genomgång av aktörer och dokumenttyper behandlas grundläggande och särskilda befraktningsformer, relationer mellan köpavtal och sjötransportavtal samt hantering av risker och problem. Bland annat kommenteras de inte helt lättillgängliga reglerna om redaransvaret vid gods- och passagerartransporter, de nya reglerna Incoterms 2020 och det ökande intresset för hållbarhet inom sjöfart och handel. Några avsnitt – Liggetidberäkningar och Ansvarshantering för sjötransporterat gods och passagerare – är förmodligen de enda svenskspråkiga praktiskt inriktade anvisningarna för dessa vanligen förekommande arbetsområden. Avsnittet med översikt av marina besiktningar är också unikt. Rolf Ihre har sjökaptensutbildning men har under större delen av sin yrkesverksamma tid arbetat som sjörättsjurist inom Salénkoncernen och som advokat med huvudinriktning på frågor som har samband med sjöfart och handel.

This book explores the large and controversial subject of the use of force in international law. It examines not only the use of force by states but also the role of the UN in peacekeeping and enforcement action, and the increasing role of regional organizations in the maintenance of international peace and security.The UN Charter framework is under challenge. Russia's invasion of Georgia and intervention in Ukraine, the USA's military operations in Syria, and Saudi Arabia's campaign to restore the government of Yemen by force all raise questions about the law on intervention. The 'war on terror' that began after the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the USA has not been won. It has spread far beyond Afghanistan: it has led to targeted killings in Pakistan, Somalia, and Yemen, and to intervention against ISIS in Iraq and Syria. Is there an expanding right of self-defence against non-state actors? Is the use of force effective? The development of nuclear weapons by North Korea has reignited discussion about the legality of pre-emptive self-defence. The NATO-led operation in Libya increased hopes for the implementation of 'responsibility to protect', but it also provoked criticism for exceeding the Security Council's authorization of force because its outcome was regime change. UN peacekeeping faces new challenges, especially with regard to the protection of civilians, and UN forces have been given revolutionary mandates in several African states. But the 2015 report Uniting Our Strengths reaffirmed that UN peacekeeping is not suited to counter-terrorism or enforcement operations; the UN should turn to regional organizations such as the African Union as first responders in situations of ongoing armed conflict.

Winner of the True Crime Awards Book of the YearShortlisted for the Financial Times Business Book of the Year Award***A Waterstones Best Books of 2022 pick***A Financial Times, The Times and The Economist Book of the Year 'Gripping... A startling tale of fraud and impunity. ' The Economist'I read it in one sitting, and I know it'll stay with me for a long time.' Oliver Bullough, Sunday Times bestselling author of Moneyland Inside the corrupt and secret business of global shipping, the explosive true story of a notorious international fraud and murderIn July 2011, the oil tanker Brillante Virtuoso was drifting through the treacherous Gulf of Aden when a crew of pirates attacked the vessel and set her ablaze. But when David Mockett, a maritime surveyor working for the ship's insurer Lloyd's of London, inspected the damaged vessel, he was left with more questions than answers. Soon after he started his investigation, Mockett was killed by a car bomb.Through first-hand accounts - from members of the crew who survived the hijacking to the ex-London detectives turned private investigators seeking to solve Mockett's murder - award-winning reporters Matthew Campbell and Kit Chellel piece together the explosive true story behind one of the most brazen financial frauds in history.

Interest in international law has increased greatly over the past decade, largely because of its central place in discussions such as the Iraq War and Guantanamo, the World Trade Organisation, the anti-capitalist movement, the Kyoto Convention on climate change, and the apparent failure of the international system to deal with the situations in Palestine and Darfur, and the plights of refugees and illegal immigrants around the world. This Very Short Introduction explains what international law is, what its role in international society is, and how it operates. Vaughan Lowe examines what international law can and cannot do and what it is and what it isn't doing to make the world a better place. Focussing on the problems the world faces, Lowe uses terrorism, environmental change, poverty, and international violence to demonstrate the theories and practice of international law, and how the principles can be used for international co-operation.

Cargo claims are the most frequent form of third-party liability incurred by carriers by sea and their P&I insurers. They are the bread-and-butter work of ship operators and P&I clubs, with each club handling thousands of cargo claims every year. This new book examines every aspect of cargo claims from a legal and practical perspective and complements other legal textbooks which specialise in bills of lading or charterparties. Following the life of a typical cargo claim, the book analyses the basis upon which carriers face liability for cargo loss and damage; the law on delay and deviation; cargo interests’ responsibilities for the cargo they ship; defences to cargo claims; the role of cargo insurers and subrogation; P&I cover for cargo claims; and the recovery options available to a carrier facing a cargo liability. Cargo Claims also includes a detailed clause-by-clause commentary on the InterClub Agreement.Written for practitioners and those working on cargo claims day-to-day, the book will be invaluable for ship operators, shipping law firms, barristers’ chambers, cargo recovery agencies and P&I insurers. Readers will gain a comprehensive guide to the handling of cargo claims by way of a detailed analysis of the underlying legal principles and through practical guidance.

Principles of International Criminal Law is one of the most influential textbooks in the field of international criminal justice. This fourth edition builds on the highly-successful work of the previous editions, setting out the general principles governing international crimes as well as the fundamentals of both substantive and procedural international criminal law. It provides a detailed understanding of the sources and evolution of international criminal law, demonstrating how it has developed, and how its application has changed.

“A masterly work of military and judicial history.” —New York Times. Telford Taylor’s book is a defining piece of World War II literature, an engrossing and reflective eyewitness account of one of the most significant events of our century.In 1945, the Allied nations agreed on a judicial process, rather than summary execution, to determine the fate of the Nazis following the end of World War II. Held in Nuremberg, the ceremonial birthplace of the Nazi Party, the British, American, French, and Soviet leaders contributed both judges and prosecutors to the series of trials that would prosecute some of the most prominent politicians, military leaders and businessmen in Nazi Germany.This is the definitive history of the Nuremberg crimes trials by one of the key participants, Telford Taylor, the distinguished lawyer who was a member of the American prosecution staff and eventually became chief counsel. In vivid detail, Taylor portrays the unfolding events as he “saw, heard, and otherwise sensed them at the time, and not as a detached historian working from the documents might picture them.” Table of Contents:1 Nuremberg and the Laws of War 2 The Nuremberg Ideas 3 Justice Jackson Takes Over 4 Establishing the Court: The London Charter 5 The Defendants and the Charges: Krupp and the German General Staff 6 Berlin to Nuremberg 7 Nuremberg: Pretrial Pains and Problems 8 On Trial 9 The Nuremberg War Crimes Community 10 The SS and the General Staff—High Command 11 Individual Defendants, Future Trials, and Criminal Organizations 12 The French and Soviet Prosecutions 13 The Defendants: Goering and Hess 14 The Defendants: “Murderers’ Row” 15 The Defendants: Bankers and Admirals 16 The Defendants: The Last Nine 17 The Closing Arguments 18 The Indicted Organizations 19 The Defendants’ Last Words 20 The Judgments of Solomons 21 Judgment: Law, Crime, and Punishment Taylor describes personal vendettas among the Allied representatives and the negotiations that preceded the handing down of sentences. The revelations have not lost their power over the decades: The chamber is reduced to silence when an SS officer recounts impassively that his troops rounded up and killed 90,000 Jews, and panic overcomes the head of the German State Bank as it becomes clear that he knew his institution was receiving jewels and other valuables taken from the bodies of concentration camp inmates.

Under de senaste åren har den internationella privat- och processrätten genomgått en dramatisk utveckling, i första hand med anledning av att den blivit en central och integrerad del av EU-samarbetet. Stora delar av ämnets centrala regelverk utgörs idag av direkt tillämpliga EU-förordningar och svenska regler avsedda att implementera olika EU-direktiv. Även de autonoma svenska reglerna har ändrats på åtskilliga punkter. Denna författningssamling, som i första hand är avsedd att utgöra ett hjälpmedel inom den akademiska juridikutbildningen, innehåller de viktigaste i Sverige den 1 juli 2022 gällande internationellt privat- och processrättsliga bestämmelserna samt vissa nya regler vilka ännu inte börjat tillämpas.

Professor Michael Bogdan och docent Patrik Lindskoug är båda verksamma vid Juridiska fakulteten i Lund.

Europakonventionen kom till som en besvärjelse – krigsårens brott mot mänskligheten skulle inte få upprepas. Det första målet gällde Cypern, då brittisk koloni. Där uppdagades vad som användes för att upprätthålla den koloniala ordningen, såsom piskning, kollektiv vedergällning, olagliga arresteringar och dödsstraff. Målet förliktes när Storbritannien erkände Cyperns självständighet. Sedan dess har rättighetsskyddet utvecklats till ett finmaskigt nät. En anmälan mot Storbritannien under senare år gällde störningar som de boende i närheten av en flygplats upplevde. Utan att förringa deras obehag är det av annat slag än det britterna anklagades för som kolonialmakt. Gör Europadomstolen i Strasbourg rätt saker? Har den rätt att göra det den gör? I det mål som Hans-Gunnar Axberger utgår från har domstolen lagt stor möda på att skapa en rättighet som inte ingår i konventionen. Han granskar domen i syfte att diskutera hur Europadomstolen idag arbetar och frågar sig om skyddet för våra grundläggande rättigheter fungerar som det bör. Hans-Gunnar Axberger är professor i konstitutionell rätt och tidigare justitieombudsman.

Airworthiness: An Introduction to Aircraft Certification and Operations, Third Edition, once again proves to be a valuable, user-friendly reference guide for certification engineers engaged in professional training and practical work in regulatory agencies and aircraft engineering companies. The discussions reflect the recent changes in the EASA-FAA regulations and also include the concepts of flight safety and airworthiness; the ICAO and civil aviation authorities; airworthiness requirements; type certifications and the type-certification process; production of products, parts, and appliances; certifications of airworthiness; and rules for spaceworthiness.

Since publication of the second edition, airworthiness regulation and certification around the world have gone through significant changes. For example, EASA structure has completely changed, FAA rules are no longer applicable, substantial changes have been made in the international airworthiness regulations and certification procedures, and unmanned aircraft have evolved technically and operationally. The changes in airworthiness regulations in the last five years have been striking, changing the way in which we look at airworthiness and certification processes around the world.

The Global Community Yearbook is a one-stop resource for all researchers studying international law generally or international tribunals specifically. The Yearbook has established itself as an authoritative source of reference on global legal issues and international jurisprudence. It includes analysis of the most significant global trends in a way that allows readers to monitor the development of the global legal order from several perspectives. The Global Community Yearbook publishes annually in a volume of carefully chosen primary source material and corresponding expert commentary. The general editor, Professor Giuliana Ziccardi Capaldo, employs her vast expertise in international law to select excerpts from important court opinions and to choose experts from around the world to contribute essay-guides, which illuminate those cases. Although the main focus is recent case law from the major international tribunals and regional courts, the first four parts of each year's edition features expert articles by renowned scholars who address broader themes in current and future developments in international law and global policy, themes that appear throughout the case law of the many courts covered by the series as a whole. The Global Community Yearbook has thus become not just an indispensable window to recent jurisprudence: the series now also serves to prepare researchers for the issues facing emerging global law. The 2018 edition both updates readers on the important work of long-standing international tribunals and introduces readers to more novel topics in international law. The Yearbook continues to provide expert coverage of the Court of Justice of the European Union and diverse tribunals from the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to criminal tribunals such as the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the Tribunals for the Former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, to economically based tribunals such as ICSID and the WTO Dispute Resolution panel. This edition contains original research articles on the development and analysis of the concept of global law and the views of the global law theorists such as: whether the Paris Declaration of 2017 and the Oslo Recommendation of 2018 deals with enhancing their institutions' legitimacy; how to reconcile human rights, trade law, intellectual property, investment and health law with the WTO dispute settlement panel upholding Australia's tobacco plain packaging measure; Israel's acceptance of Palestinian statehood contingent upon prior Palestinian "demilitarization" is potentially contrary to pertinent international law; and a proposal to strengthen cooperation between the ECJ and National Courts in light of the failure of the dialogue between the ECJ and the Italian Constitutional Court on the interpretation of Article 325 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European union. The Yearbook provides students, scholars, and practitioners alike a valuable combination of expert discussion and direct quotes from the court opinions to which that discussion relates, as well as an annual overview of the process of cross-fertilization between international courts and tribunals. The Yearbook provides students, scholars, and practitioners alike a valuable combination of expert discussion and direct quotes from the court opinions to which that discussion relates, as well as an annual overview of the process of cross-fertilization between international courts and tribunals and a section focusing on the thought of leading international law scholars on the subject of the globalization.This publication can also be purchased on a standing order basis.

An internationally-renowned scholar in the fields of international and transitional justice, Diane Orentlicher provides an unparalleled account of an international tribunal's impact in societies that have the greatest stake in its work. In Some Kind of Justice: The ICTY's Impact in Bosnia and Serbia, Orentlicher explores the evolving domestic impact of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), which operated longer than any other international war crimes court. Drawing on hundreds of research interviews and a rich body of inter-disciplinary scholarship, Orentlicher provides a path-breaking account of how the Tribunal influenced domestic political developments, victims' experience of justice, acknowledgement of wartime atrocities, and domestic war crimes prosecutions, as well as the dynamic factors behind its evolving influence in each of these spheres. Highlighting the perspectives of Bosnians and Serbians, Some Kind of Justice offers important and practical lessons about how international criminal courts can improve the delivery of justice.

Arbitrating Empire offers a new history of the emergence of the United States as a global power-one shaped as much by attempts to insulate the US government from international legal scrutiny as it was by efforts to project influence across the globe. Drawing on extensive archival research in the United States, Mexico, Panama, and the United Kingdom, the book traces how thousands of dispossessed residents of US-annexed territories petitioned international Claims Commissions between the 1870s and the 1930s to charge the United States with violating international legal protections for life and property.Through attention to the consequences of their unexpected claims, Allison Powers demonstrates how colonized subjects, refugees from slavery, and migrant workers transformed a series of tribunals designed to establish the legality of US imperial interventions into sites through which to challenge the legitimacy of US colonial governance. One of the first social histories of international law, the book argues that contests over meanings of sovereignty and state responsibility that would reshape the mid-twentieth-century international order were waged not only at diplomatic conferences, but also in Arizona copper mines, Texas cotton fields, Samoan port cities, Cuban sugar plantations, and the locks and stops of the Panama Canal.Arbitrating Empire uncovers how ordinary people used international law to hold the United States accountable for state-sanctioned violence during the decades when the nation was first becoming a global empire-and demonstrates why State Department attempts to erase their claims transformed international law in ways that continue to shield the US government from liability to this day.

A vibrant exploration of past and present controversies surrounding control of the world's oceans.In 1609, the Dutch lawyer Hugo Grotius rejected the idea that even powerful rulers could own the oceans. "A ship sailing through the sea," he wrote, "leaves behind it no more legal right than it does a track." A philosophical and legal battle ensued, but Grotius's view ultimately prevailed. To this day, "freedom of the seas" remains an important legal principle and a powerful rhetorical tool. Yet in recent decades, freedom of the seas has eroded in multiple ways and for a variety of reasons. During the world wars of the 20th century, combatants imposed unprecedented restrictions on maritime commerce, leaving international rules in tatters. National governments have steadily expanded their reach into the oceans. More recently, environmental concerns have led to new international restrictions on high seas fishing. Today's most dangerous maritime disputes-including China's push for control of the South China Sea-are occurring against the backdrop of major changes in the way the world treats the oceans. As David Bosco shows in The Poseidon Project, the history of humanity's attempt to create rules for the oceans is alive and relevant. Tracing the roots of the law of the sea and the background to current maritime disputes, he shows that building effective ocean rules while preserving maritime freedoms remains a daunting task. Bosco analyzes how fragile international institutions and determined activists are struggling for relevance in a world still dominated by national governments. As maritime tensions develop, The Poseidon Project will serve as an essential guide to the continuing challenge of ocean governance.
