The Appeals Process in the International Criminal Court
This book presents an analysis of the model of appellate procedure before the International Criminal Court, based on both the Court’s legal texts and case-law. While guiding the reader through the complexities of the Rome Statute, the Rules of Procedure and Evidence and the Regulations of the Court, the author underlines the role of judicial law-making powers in international trials. The study reflects on numerous legal and functional problems arising in the Appeal Chamber’s practice, including those that have yet to be addressed by the Court. The monograph proves that while the ICC legal texts are not clear about the general shape of appellate procedure before the ICC, especially the fu...
Using Systemic Integration to Interpret War Crimes at the International Criminal Court
Fragmentation and methodological inconsistency are already evident in the jurisprudence of the International Criminal Court (ICC). Part of the solution is to use the principle of systemic integration to interpret crimes consistently with customary international law. This book provides novel data on the ICC’s compliance with the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, focusing on how the failure to interpret war crimes consistently with custom leads to unnecessary fragmentation and misses important opportunities to clarify and develop the law. It offers a detailed case study on the war crime of denying a fair trial, tracing its interpretive foundations from the Vienna Convention to the Rome Statute to the administration of justice by rebel groups in Timbuktu.

Modern Architecture and an International Sensibility
Modern Architecture and an International Sensibility: A Curious Cross-Atlantic Constellation presents an alternative history of internationalism and modernism, with a focus on the role of architecture and spatial practices. Beginning at the tail-end of the peace movements— the turn of the twentieth century— and ending with the Nuremberg trials, the book highlights the part played by individual agency, social reform and architecture in moulding a working everyday definition of what it meant to be international during this time. By viewing internationalism through the lens of the individual and the body, both as initiator and subject, it is repositioned as an integral part of everyday life, rather than simply understood to be concerned with geopolitical relations between nations and their institutions. The book furthers a research methodology that is multidisciplinary and transnational. It will therefore be of interest to researchers and students of architecture and international history.
Negotiating Civil War
A theoretically-informed, critical account of the making of the international legal rules governing civil war.
Freedom of Expression
Freedom of expression is one of the cornerstones of all democratic systems. Without it, ideas about how to protect the common good in our societies would be impoverished. A marketplace of ideas is essential for democracy to thrive. It is for this reason that the European Court of Human Rights attaches such importance to political discourse, as well as to speech and other forms of expression that may shock and offend. Yet, such freedom may clash with other rights, such as the right to privacy or the right to a good reputation. It may even conflict with the need to protect public order or morals. Societies require pluralism if they are to grow, yet democracy also seeks to limit extreme forms o...

Reconstructing Power and Hegemony in Public International Law
This open access book examines international law from a critical perspective, at a time when some would say that it is under an existential threat. The modern international institutions — collective security through the UN, the monetary order of the Bretton Woods system, and trade liberalisation anchored in the World Trade Organization — are all contested. Several of the contributions explore whether international lawyers might want to consider positioning themselves in opposition to this wave of contestation. While some aspects of the global system may be ripe for reform, the world stands at a crossroads: will an emerging multipolar order lead to greater instability, or might it fulfill...
