Unilateral Sanctions in International Law and the Enforcement of Human Rights
The Open Access publication of this book has been published with the support of the Swiss National Science Foundation. Are unilateral economic sanctions legal under public international law? How do they relate to the existing international legal principles and norms? Can unilateral economic sanctions imposed to redress grave human rights violations be subjected to the same legal contestations as other unilateral sanctions? What potential contribution can the recently formulated doctrine of Common Concern of Humankind make by introducing substantive and procedural prerequisites to legitimise unilateral human rights sanctions? Unilateral Sanctions in International Law and the Enforcement of Human Rights by Iryna Bogdanova addresses these complex questions while taking account of the burgeoning state practice of employing unilateral economic sanctions.

The United Nations Convention Against Corruption
The United Nations Convention against Corruption includes 71 articles, and takes a notably comprehensive approach to the problem of corruption, as it addresses prevention, criminalization, international cooperation, and asset recovery. Since it came into force more than a decade ago, the Convention has attracted nearly universal participation by states. As a global and comprehensive convention, which establishes new rules in several areas of anti-corruption law and helps shape domestic laws and policies around the world, this treaty calls for scholarly study. This volume helps to fill a gap in existing academic literature by providing an invaluable reference work on the Convention. It provid...
Corruption and Global Justice
Corruption is a pervasive problem across the world and is regularly ranked as among the greatest global challenges. Considering the role that corruption plays in exacerbating deprivation and fuelling social tension, peaceful and just societies are unlikely to come about without tackling corruption. Addressing corruption should be a high priority for those concerned with poverty eradication, peace, security, and justice. Yet, curiously, corruption has not yet been the focus of any books by philosophers working on global justice topics. Corruption and Global Justice does so. Author Gillian Brock offers a normatively justified account of how to allocate responsibilities for addressing corruptio...
Development and trade
The changes in the machinery of government, announced in June 2007, led to this assessment of the place of the Department for International Development (DFID) in trade policy structures and how this area could be best managed across government. The inquiry also followed up on the report 'Conflict and development: peacebuilding and post-conflict reconstruction' (HC 923-I 2005-06) and the responsibility of the former Department of Trade and Industry in relation to the regulation of activities of UK companies operating in developing countries. Although the reaction to the changes in the machinery of government are broadly positive, there are reservations about complexity, unclear lines of accountability and new layers of bureaucracy. The increase in the number of DFID ministers is welcomed but there are concerns that the brief of the Trade Policy Minister might be too wide.
