The Evolving ECOWAS Normative Architecture and Contemporary International Law
This second edition of The Evolving ECOWAS Normative Architecture and Contemporary Law maintains the main thrust of the original by analysing the Peace and Security Architecture of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). The study highlights the institutional transformation of ECOWAS from an economic organisation into one that promotes a rules-based system anchored in democratic norms and the rule of law for regional stability and effective integration. It reconciles legal principles with the evolving norm of responsibility to protect, considering the growing importance of respect for human rights. In addition to a thorough analysis of ECOWAS’ intervention in The Gambia and an evaluation of the regional bloc’s good governance agenda, the new edition also delves into the withdrawal of Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger from ECOWAS on January 29, 2025 and its implications for the sub-region’s and continental integration.
Strategic Litigation and Corporate Complicity in Crimes Under International Law
This book provides a comprehensive account of how non-state actors rely on international criminal law as a tool in the service of progressive political causes. The argument that international criminal law and its institutions serve as an instrument in the hands of a few powerful states, and that its practice is characterized by double standards and selectivity, has received considerable attention. This book, however, focuses on a practice that is informed by this argument. Its focus is on an alternative practice within international criminal law, where non-state actors navigate what critical scholars call a structurally biased legal system, in order to achieve long-term political objectives....
International Economic Law
To take Africa from the edge to the centre of the global economy, it is critical to engage African voices in policy discussions on the global political economy. With Africa's projected economic importance in the future and South Africa's prominent role in the G-20 and BRICS, it is vital that this part of the world is involved in restructuring the rules and principles of international economic law. This book examines themes dealing with cross border trade, investment, development and finance issues.
Research Handbook on International Solidarity and the Law
This comprehensive and insightful Research Handbook addresses the interpretation of international solidarity within topical legal regimes and regional systems, as well as in relation to decolonization and the concepts of Ummah and Ubuntu. It examines the way in which international solidarity enables the global community to respond to intercontinental challenges, including climate change, forced migration, health emergencies, and inequality.

Africa and the Responsibility to Protect
Situations of serious or massive violations of human rights are no longer purely of domestic concern, and sovereignty can no longer be an absolute shield for repressive governments in such circumstances. Based on this realization, the international community has recognized a responsibility to protect individuals in states where their governments are unable or unwilling to provide protection against the most serious violations. However, so far, only one intergovernmental organization, the African Union (AU), has explicitly made the right to intervene in a Member State part of its foundational text in Article 4(h) of its Constitutive Act. Although there have been cases of Article 4(h)-type int...
Striking Power
Threats to international peace and security include the proliferation of weapons of mass destructions, rogue nations, and international terrorism. The United States must respond to these challenges to its national security and to world stability by embracing new military technologies such as drones, autonomous robots, and cyber weapons. These weapons can provide more precise, less destructive means to coerce opponents to stop WMD proliferation, clamp down on terrorism, or end humanitarian disasters. Efforts to constrain new military technologies are not only doomed, but dangerous. Most weapons in themselves are not good or evil; their morality turns on the motives and purposes for the war itself. These new weapons can send a strong message without cause death or severe personal injury, and as a result can make war less, rather than more, destructive.
