EN 2012, leRecueil des cours de lAcadmie de droit interna-

tional de La Haye comptera plus de trois cent cinquantevolumes, ce qui en fait aujourdhui la plus grande ency-clopdie de droit international public et priv. Par ses cours etleur publication, lAcadmie remplit sa mission de diffusion dela connaissance du droit international ainsi que de promotionde la recherche dans cette discipline, et pour lui permettre dat-teindre cet objectif elle dispose aussi de nombreux ouvragesdautres sries, comme celle contenant les actes des colloquesinternationaux organiss par lAcadmie, ou la srie Les livresde droit de lAcadmie, sous le couvert de laquelle sont publisle fruit des tudes entreprises dans le cadre de son Centre derecherche. La cration, en 2008, du Recueil des cours lectro-nique au sein duquel lensemble des cours a t numris vadans le mme sens.

Tous ces ouvrages sont revtus de la clbre reliure vert et or,

inchange depuis 1923, date du dbut des activits delAcadmie. La perfection formelle de cette ralisation a toute-fois un cot qui rend ces ouvrages difficilement accessiblesaux tudiants. Cest donc en pensant avant tout eux quelAcadmie a dcid de publier chaque anne un ou deuxcours de la session de droit international public et de la ses-sion de droit international priv en format de poche et, par

consquent, un prix extrmement rduit.Avec cette nouvelle ralisation lAcadmie a le souci de faireprdominer sur toute autre considration une logique de dif-fusion et de promotion du droit international aussi larges quepossible. Il sagit de fournir un appui celles et ceux qui,aujourdhui, lui portent intrt pour en tre demain les acteursou les rformateurs, en leur offrant un accs facile des

uvres crites par des spcialistes minents. Elle espre quecette nouvelle collection offrira galement ceux qui ontassist une session dt lexcellente occasion de retrouver letexte et de se remmorer le contexte dun cours quils ont aimpouvoir suivre.

AS OF 2012, the Collected Courses of the Hague Academy

of International Law will comprise more than 350 vol-umes, which together constitute the most extensive encyclo-pedia of public and private international law. Through thesecourses and their publication, the Academy fulfils its mis-sion of disseminating knowledge of international law and ofpromoting research in this discipline, and for this purposemention must also be made of the publications in otherseries, such as the publication of papers from internationalworkshops organized by the Academy, or the series knownas the Law Books of the Academy, which reproduces thework performed at the Academys Centre for Research. Thecreation this year of theElectronic Collected Courses, whereall the courses have been made available in digital format,pursues the same aims.

All these books are bound in the very familiar green and gold

covers, which have remained unchanged since the very begin-ning of the Academys activity, in 1923. The impeccable pres-entation of these publications does however come at a cost,which means that they are not easily accessible for students. Itwas therefore particularly with students in mind that theAcademy decided to publish each year in paperback form and thus at an extremely low price one or two courses from

a public international law session and from a private interna-tional law session.

The Academys main concern in pursuing this scheme is toensure the widest possible dissemination and promotion ofinternational law, over and above any other consideration. Itsaim is to provide support to those who have an interest ininternational law today and who tomorrow will practise or

reform it, by allowing them easy access to works written by dis-tinguished specialists. The Academy also hopes that this newcollection will give those who have attended a summer sessionan excellent opportunity to obtain the text and to recall thecontext of a course that they enjoyed attending.

In spite of the undoubtedly great and rising importance ofthe international legislative co-operation regarding privateinternational law, it must be remembered that no success-ful unification or harmonization of conflict rules has evertaken place on the universal level, and that the conflictrules stemming from international legislative co-operationbetween a limited number of countries give rise to the

same problems as non-harmonized rules, whenever theyhave to be used in relation to countries not participating inthe legislative co-operation in question. This book willtherefore focus on the last-mentioned problems andrefrain from dealing with the particular issues arising frominternational legislative co-operation in the field of privateinternational law. One of the principal aims of Michael

Bogdan is to demonstrate the relationship between thenational rules of private international law and the rest ofthe legal system of the forum country, in the first place itssubstantive private law and its law of civil procedure, as

well as to illustrate the impact of the forum countrysgeneral ethical and other values on its private internationallaw.

The World Trade Organization (WTO) resulted fromglobalization, through which national law provisions areinternationalized and international norms are domesti-cated. The WTO does not permit reservation by its mem-bers who are obliged to ensure the compliance of theirlaws, policies and other measures. Once a member isfound to have violated its obligations, it must rectify the

non-compliance measures to avoid retaliation. The quasi-automatic approval procedure of the WTO DisputeSettlement Body has proved to be effective in ensuring thecompliance by members and consistency of interpretationof the WTO Agreement. As the multilateral trade institu-tion covers a wide range of sectors from trade in goodsand services, and intellectual property to investment and

the measures of the members include laws and regula-tions, administrative decisions and judicial rulings, theimpacts of the WTO on the members legal systems arehugely profound and long lasting. In some cases, for thepurpose of joining the WTO, the legal systems of the mem-bers concerned have been through significant changes.

This monograph considers the ramifications of the legalregime that governs transborder capital flows. This regimeconsists principally of a network of some 3,000 investmenttreaties, as well as a growing body of arbitral decisions.Professor Alvarez contends that the contemporary interna-tional investment regime should no longer be described asa species of territorial empire imposed by rich capital

exporters on capital importers. He examines the evolutionof investment treaties and investor-State jurisprudenceconstante and identifies the connections between theseand general trends within public international law, includ-ing the increased resort to treaties (treatification), grow-ing risks to the laws consistency (fragmentation), andthe proliferation of forms of international adjudication

(judicialization). Professor Alvarez also considerswhether the regimes efforts to balance the needs of non-State investors and sovereigns ought to be characterized asglobal administrative law, as a form of constitutional-ization, or as an increasingly human-rights-centred enter-prise.

International Humanitarian Law :

Theory, Practice, Context

DANIEL THRER

POCKETBOOKS


Daniel Threr

International

HumanitarianLaw:Theory, Practice, Context

This book is about international humanitarian law or asit is also called the law of armed conflict or law of

war. It emerged from a series of lectures delivered at theHague Academy of International Law. Daniel Threr deals

with war and the means by which international lawattempts to contain and, as it were, humanize organized

violence. But the ambitions of the author go beyond the

battlefield. The book explores the many complex ways inwhich law functions to regulate warfare, in theory and inpractice. The author looks into treaties and other sourcesof international law, but he also tries to step outside theboundaries of black-letter law to deal broadly with suchmatters as the influence of culture in shaping the normson war, the institutions that develop those norms and

work for their universal acceptance, the networks ofhumanitarian actors in this area and the legal proceduresin which the law of war and its various institutions areembedded. The book demonstrates that even wars are, in

various ways, conducted in the shadow of the law.

The Evolution

of SustainableDevelopmentin International Law :Inception, Meaningand Status

ISBN : 978-90-04-17407-8

2008 276 pages110 x 180 mm

15.

In a remarkably short time sustainable development hasbecome firmly established in international law. The World

Commission on Environment and Development concisely

defined this concept as: development that meets the

needs of the present generation without compromising

the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

This definition combines inter-generational equity with an

awareness of the finite capacity of the earth and its natural

resources.

This book brings together a collection of lectures given at

the Hague Academy of International Law. The aim of the

book is threefold : firstly, to review the genesis, clarify the

meaning and assess the status of sustainable development

within international law ; secondly, to examine the legalprinciples that have emerged in the pursuit of sustainable

development ; and finally, to assess to what extent the cur-

rent state of law demonstrates a balance between and inte-

gration of all relevant fields of international law as urged

by the Rio, Johannesburg and World Summit documents.

Lis Pendens

in InternationalLitigation

ISBN : 978-90-04-17909-7

2009 492 pages110 x 180 mm

18.

What legal principles apply when courts in different juris-dictions are simultaneously seised with the same dispute ?

This question of international lis pendens has long

been controversial. But it has taken on new and urgent

importance in our age. Globalization has driven an

unprecedented rise in forum shopping between national

courts and a proliferation of new international tribunals.

Problems of litispendence have spawned some of the

most dramatic litigation of modern times from anti-suit

injunction battles in commercial disputes, to the appeals

of prisoners on death row to international human rights

tribunals. The way we respond to this challenge has pro-

found theoretical implications for the interaction of legal

systems in todays pluralistic world. In this wide-rangingsurvey, McLachlan analyses the problems of parallel litiga-

tion in private and public international law and interna-

tional arbitration. He argues that we need to develop a

more sophisticated set of rules of conflict of litigation,

guided by a cosmopolitan conception of the rule of law.

15.

Depuis prs de deux sicles, la question de lesclavage etde la traite ngrire est au cur des relations interna-

tionales. Du Congrs de Vienne de 1815 qui dnonce un

commerce rpugnant aux principes dhumanit et de

morale universelle jusqu la Cour internationale de

Justice qui voque en 1970 les principes et [l]es rgles

concernant les droits fondamentaux de la personne

humaine, y compris la protection contre la pratique de

lesclavage comme source dobligations erga omnes, le

droit international contemporain est caractris par la

construction progressive dun rgime international rele-

vant de la notion dejus cogens.

Alors que de nombreux travaux rcents voquent

lesclavage sous langle historique ou dans une perspec-tive contemporaine, cet ouvrage prsente loriginalit de

sinscrire dans une perspective juridique de longue dure,

au carrefour des sources formelles et matrielles du droit

international public, tout en lclairant des dbats les plus

actuels sur les responsabilits historiques en la matire.

18.

En dpit des efforts entrepris au long du sicle dernier envue de lharmonisation et de lunification internationales

des lgislations concernant la proprit intellectuelle, des

divergences significatives subsistent entre les systmes

juridiques nationaux dans ce domaine. Lidal dune pro-

tection universelle de contenu unitaire tant dans une

large mesure inachev, la tutelle internationale de la pro-

prit intellectuelle se fonde encore sur les principes de

lindpendance des droits et de la territorialit.

Lvolution contemporaine du droit de la proprit intel-

lectuelle dmontre toutefois une tendance trs nette dans

le sens dun dpassement de la stricte territorialit qui le

caractrisait. Cette volution est demande par les besoins

de fonctionnement des conomies modernes, danslesquelles lexploitation des biens intellectuels se fait de

plus en plus lchelle mondiale. Plutt quune unification

des rgimes juridiques nationaux en matire de proprit

intellectuelle, il faut assurer une coordination de ces

rgimes par le biais de rgles de conflits de lois et de juri-

dictions. Tel est le dfi fondamental que le droit interna-

tional priv doit relever en cette matire.

La doctrine et la jurisprudence la plus rcente relvent deplus en plus les limites de lutilisation de la nationalit du

navire dans la solution des conflits de loi et limportance

du droit uniforme.

En ce qui concerne les conflits de lois relatifs aux trans-

ports maritimes de marchandise, il est tenu compte des

diffrences des solutions adoptes propos des charter-parties, des transports tramps et des transports maritimes

de ligne documents par un connaissement. Sagissant du

contrat de travail maritime, sont mis en vidence laffai-

blissement du rle de la nationalit du navire et lim-

portance croissante de la ngociation collective interna-

tionale. A propos de la responsabilit extracontractuelle,

cest la lex damni qui sapplique, sauf lorsquil sagitdvnements ayant lieu bord du navire.

De cette analyse, enfin, il ressort que la tendance linter-

nationalisation du droit maritime et la fonction rsiduelle

confie la loi du pavillon dans la solution des conflits de

Unifying

and HarmonizingSubstantive Lawand the Roleof Conflict of Laws

ISBN : 978-90-04-18683-5

2010 288 pages110 x 180 mm

15.

Traditionally, conflict of law rules designate only nationalsubstantive law as the applicable law. Many unifying and

harmonizing substantive law instruments of both States

and non-State organizations, however, are designed speci-

fically for application to cross-border relationships.

Achieving this objective is, generally, hindered by conflict

of law rules. The requirements which non-national law

needs to fulfil in order to be accepted as the law governing

a cross-border relationship deserve clarification. Not only

uniform law, such as the CISG and the envisaged European

substantive law instrument for the law of obligations, but,

particularly, instruments which are aimed at harmonizing

substantive law, challenge the established systems of con-

flict of laws. In seeking a positive approach towards theapplication of a law other than national law various

aspects need to be considered : (1) is the decision taken by

a court or an arbitral tribunal ; (2) what field of law (con-

tract/delict/tort or family relationships) is involved; and

(3) the objective or subjective (choice by the parties)

designation of the applicable law.

18.

The twenty-first century will witness conflicts which maydestabilize the international order. These conflicts are

likely to arise between emerging Asian States such as

China and India whose material power is growing, and the

Western nations who wield significant ideational power. A

West-centric international society will change to a multi-

polar and multi-civilizational global society. This structural

change includes, and further needs, changes of under-

standings and perceptions of the world, including of inter-

national law. The perspectives from which we see,

understand, appreciate and assess international law must

change. We need to interpret international law not only

from a prevalent State-centric international perspective

and West-centric transnational perspective. Onuma arguesthat we must grasp international law from what he calls a

transcivilizational perspective as well. By adopting such

three-layered perspectives, international law is shown to

be functioning as a tool of politics yet constrained by cul-

tural and civilizational factors.
