3 Académie de Droit International de La Haye / The Hague Academy of International Law 1 Bert Mellink Bert Mellink Since its creation in 1923 with funding received from the Carnegie Foundation, The Hague Academy of International Law has occupied premises at the Peace Palace, alongside the highest judicial institutions such as the International Court of Justice and the Permanent Court of Arbitration. It is a centre for research and teaching in public and private international law, with the aim to further scientific and advanced studies of the legal aspects of international relations. The Academy s scientific board, the Curatorium, invites academics, practitioners, diplomats, and other personalities from all over the world whom it considers qualified to give courses, in English or French (with simultaneous interpretation). These courses are on general or specialized subjects and take the form of a lecture series. The courses are published in the series Collected Courses of the Academy of International Law (Recueil des cours), which now runs to more than 350 volumes and is undoubtedly the most important encyclopedic publication on private and public international law. Since 2008 the Collected Courses are also available in a fully searchable online edition. Every year a select number of specialized courses are published in an affordable paperback edition: the Pocket Books of the Academy. In addition, the Academy s publication program features the volumes of the Centre for Studies and Research in International Law and International Relations, and the Colloque/Workshop volumes.

7 Colloques /Workshops Law Books of the Academy The Academy publishes the papers from the Workshops which it organizes, each looking at future-oriented topics in international law. The Series also includes a collection of fundamental books, The Law Books of the Academy. More recently, if the Centre for Studies and Research attains an exceptionally high standard, a single volume containing the reports of the directors and the best contributions from the participants is published as a volume in this series. For more information please visit brill.com/radc Legal Approaches to Cultural Diversity/Approches juridiques de la diversité culturelle Edited by Marie-Claire Foblets and Nadjma Yassari. With the contribution of / Avec la collaboration de: M. Ben Lamine, N. Bialostozky, R. Colavitti, L.-M. Crăciunean, I. Gallala-Arndt, P. Kruiniger, V. Mainetti, S. Ouechtati, J. Ringelheim, B. Truffin, J. Verhellen, A. Vigorito The central theme of the volume is cultural diversity, a vast subject that is highly relevant today. The particular focus here is on the many ways in which this diversity is managed within the framework of State law. The twelve contributors to this book have a special interest in how cultural traditions and their various forms of expression are handled by the law. They were all participants in the 2009 Research Programme of the Centre for Studies and Research of The Hague Academy of International Law. The breadth of the subject is reflected in the wide spectrum of perspectives from which the topic has been explored. Starting in each case from the existing State and international legal frameworks, TABLE OF (Excerpt of table of contents) the contributors explore how the interactions between positive law and other normative orders can be placed at the service of a legal system that is as fair as possible within a plural context. Contributors were asked to choose from two alternative approaches: either they could look at cultural diversity issues in the field of private (international) law, a fairly traditional field that is especially relevant to the legal treatment of cultural diversity; or they could situate cultural diversity within the wider and more theoretical area of legal pluralism, whether on a local or regional level or at the international (United Nations) level. 5 Avant-propos Foreword; Introduction; The Report of the Directors of Studies; Chapter 1: Cultural Diversity in the Legal Framework: Modes of Operation (Report of the Directors of Studies); Chapter 2: La diversité culturelle à l UNESCO: ombres et lumières; Chapter 3: L évolution du droit international public dans la considération des cultures en situation de menace ou de discrimination: vers un principe de multiculturalisme?

8 Colloques / Workshops - Law Books of the Academy Implementation of International Environmental Law/ La mise en œuvre du droit de l environnement S. Maljean-Dubois and L. Rajamani, The Hague Academy of International Law 6 This book, published in 2011, is a product of the research conducted at the Center for Studies and Research of The Hague Academy of International Law in the summer of The Centre, devoted to the implementation of international environmental law, attracted twenty talented young scholars from nine different countries. This volume contains the introductory report of the two directors of studies, in English and in French, a selection of the best papers prepared by the participants, as well as a general index and a comprehensive bibliography. The topic of the 2008 session is of both practical and theoretical interest. International environmental law, despite the rapid proliferation of treaty instruments in the area, is plagued by difficulties in implementation. The search for enhanced effectiveness of international environmental law has yielded many innovations at the institutional and normative levels. In seeking to better understand these innovations, their emergence, deepening and diffusion, this volume highlights the major shifts in and challenges faced by international environmental law and, indeed, international law itself.

Second Revised Edition Antônio Augusto Cançado Trindade 7 This volume is an updated and revised version of the General Course on Public International Law delivered by the Author at The Hague Academy of International Law in Professor Cançado Trindade develops his Leitmotiv of identification of a corpus juris increasingly oriented to the fulfillment of the needs and aspirations of human beings, of peoples and of humankind as a whole. With the overcoming of the purely inter-state dimension of the discipline of the past, international legal personality has expanded, so as to encompass nowadays, besides States and international organizations, also peoples, individuals and humankind as subjects of International Law. The growing consciousness of the need to pursue universally-shared values has brought about a fundamental change in the outlook of International Law in the last decades, drawing closer attention to its foundations and, parallel to its formal sources, to its material source (the universal juridical conscience). He examines the conceptual constructions of this new International Law and identifies basic considerations of humanity permeating its whole corpus juris, disclosing the current processes of its humanization and universalization. Finally, he addresses the construction of the international rule of law, acknowledging the need and quest for international compulsory jurisdiction, in the move towards a new jus gentium, the International Law for humankind.

10 8 The Hague Academy of International Law Monographs International Law for a Water-Scarce World Edith Brown Weiss The fresh water crisis is the new environmental crisis of the 21st century. By 2050, 993 million people are projected to live in cities with perennial water shortages; 3.1 billion will confront seasonal water shortages within their urban areas. The traditional legal principles upon which existing water management is based are likely to be insufficient to deal with the water problems that loom from projected climate change, population growth, food production, increased industrialization, and ecosystem needs. This volume, a fully revised and expanded version of the lectures given by the author at The Hague Academy of International Law in 2007, focuses on the evolution of international water law in the context of this changing world. Chapter I covers the basic principles of international water law. Chapter II offers a critique of international water law and challenges for the future. Chapter III analyses the evolution of international water agreements over the past two centuries. The analysis draws upon empirical data from more than 2,000 international agreements in a database developed by the author. Chapter IV focuses on the different techniques for resolving disputes and the international fora for doing so. Chapter V considers international institutions associated with international water agreements. Chapter VI addresses the issue of a human right to water and the right of indigenous peoples to water. Chapter VII analyses the implications of international water markets for international trade law, and vice versa, and addresses increasingly important issues associated with virtual water.

11 The Pocket Books of The Hague Academy of International Law / Les livres de poche La Haye For more information please visit brill.com/hapb In addition to the prestigious Collected Courses of The Hague Academy of International Law in hardback, the Curatorium of the Academy has decided to yearly publish, in English or French, certain courses from the private or public international law sessions in the form of low-cost pocket books. These courses, given to the Academy s students by eminent specialists, focus on topics which are of particular interest, especially from a pedagogical perspective, to students and, more generally, to all who take an interest in the principal questions of international law. With this new publication, the Academy hopes to fully fulfil its role in the diffusion and promotion of international law, by making it accessible to all. A côté de la célèbre collection reliée des cours de l Académie de droit international, le Curatorium de l Académie a souhaité publier chaque année quelques cours des sessions de droit international privé et public, en anglais et en français, sous la forme de «livres de poche» et donc à un prix extrêmement réduit. Ces cours délivrés aux étudiants de l Académie par des spécialistes éminents portent sur des sujets dont l intérêt est particulièrement marqué, en particulier du point de vue pédagogique, pour la formation des étudiants et, de manière plus générale, pour l information de tous ceux qui s intéressent aux grandes questions du droit international. Avec cette nouvelle réalisation l Académie a le souci de pleinement remplir son rôle en matière de diffusion et de promotion du droit international ainsi rendu accessible à tous. Chance, Order, Change: The Course of International Law, General Course on Public International Law James Crawford 9 The course of international law over time needs to be understood if international law is to be understood. This work aims to provide such an understanding. It is directed not at topics or subject headings sources, treaties, states, human rights and so on but at some of the key unresolved problems of the discipline. Unresolved, they call into question its status as a discipline. Is international law law properly so-called? In what respects is it systematic? Does it can it respect the rule of law? These problems can be resolved, or at least reduced, by an imaginative reading of our shared practices and our increasingly shared history, with an emphasis on process. In this sense the practice of the institutions of international law is to be understood as the law itself. They are in a dialectical relationship with the law, shaping it and being shaped by it. This is explained by reference to actual cases and examples, providing a course of international law in some standard sense as well.

12 The Pocket Books of The Hague Academy of International Law 10 Competence-Competence in the Face of Illegality in Contracts and Arbitration Agreements Richard H. Kreindler Competence-competence and corruption have, for different reasons, been mainstays of international dispute resolution thought and practice for the longest time. In the last few years, their intersection has become increasingly important and problematic. These lectures seek to define the problem and to provide acceptable solutions where possible. They attempt to derive support from both a stringent dogmatic approach and pragmatic attention to real-life expectations and conduct. More so than in other areas of private international law, the intersection between the powers of the arbitrator and the illegality of the subject matter or the parties conduct poses a particular challenge. L autonomie de la volonté en droit international privé: un principe universel entre libéralisme et étatisme Christian Kohler Depuis le début du XXIe siècle, l autonomie de la volonté, reconnue comme l un des principes de base du droit international privé, est sous l influence de tendances opposées qui reflètent la dialectique entre la loi et la liberté. Dans cette perspective, l auteur discute la place et les onctions du principe d autonomie dans les systèmes contemporains de conflits de lois et de juridictions. Sont notamment abordées les limites auxquelles le principe est confronté en matière de contrats internationaux, du fait de dispositions impératives protégeant la partie faible et de lois de police sauvegardant les politiques essentielles des Etats concernés. En revanche, dans le droit de la famille et des successions, le principe d autonomie connaît des extensions inédites. Dans ce domaine, sa fonction est bien différente dans la mesure où il sert à mettre en oeuvre l autodétermination de l individu et à maintenir la stabilité des relations interindividuelles. Sont également évoqués, dans les différents contextes où le principe est admis, les conditions de validité ainsi que le contrôle du contenu du contrat d electio juris. Les méthodes du droit international privé à l épreuve des conflits de cultures Léna Gannagé Cet ouvrage est consacré à l étude des relations qui se nouent entre les systèmes européens et les systèmes de tradition musulmane dans le domaine sensible du droit de la famille. Ces relations mettent à l épreuve la théorie générale du droit international privé qui, construite en contemplation d ordres juridiques unis par une communauté de droit, se révèle inadaptée au traitement des différences culturelles. Au moins dans le domaine du statut personnel, cette théorie n est pas reçue dans les systèmes de tradition musulmane et, au sein même des systèmes européens, elle peine à atteindre ses objectifs dans les relations avec les ordres juridiques relevant de cultures différentes. Prenant acte des transformations récentes qui affectent la discipline, tant sur le terrain des méthodes que sur celui des valeurs, l étude invite à dépasser l impasse actuelle par la promotion d un pluralisme des méthodes de réglementation adapté aux conflits de cultures.

13 The Pocket Books of The Hague Academy of International Law The Secession of States and Their Recognition in the Wake of Kosovo John Dugard The secession of States is subject to legal regulation. The arguments presented by States in the advisory proceedings on Kosovo confirm that there are rules of international law that determine whether the secession of a State in the post-colonial world is permissible. These rules derive from the competing principles of self-determination and territorial integrity. In deciding whether to recognize a secessionist entity as a State, or to admit it to the United Nations, States must balance these competing principles, with due regard to precedent and State practice. These lectures examine cases in which secession has succeeded (such as Israel and Bangladesh), in which it has failed (such as Biafra and Chechnya) and in which a determination is still to be made (Kosovo, Abkhazia and South Ossetia). The Quest for World Order and Human Dignity in the Twenty-first Century Constitutive Process and Individual Commitment W. Michael Reisman International law s archipelago is composed of legal islands, which are highly organized, and offshore zones, manifesting a much lower degree of legal organization. Each requires a different mode of decisionmaking, each further complicated by the stress of radical change. This General Course is concerned, first, with understanding and assessing the aggregate performance of the world constitutive process, in present and projected constructs; second, with providing the intellectual tools that can enable those involved in making decisions to be more effective, whether they are operating in islands or offshore; and, third, with inquiring into ways the international legal system might be improved. Reisman identifies the individual as the ultimate actor in international law and explores the dilemmas of meaningful individual commitment to a world order of human dignity amidst interlocking communities and overlapping loyalties. Chinese Contemporary Perspectives on International Law History, Culture and International Law Hanqin Xue Built on the theme history, culture and international law, this special course gives a comprehensive review of China s contemporary perspective and practice of international law in the past 60 years, with its focus on the recent 30 years when China is gradually integrated into international legal system through its opening up and economic reform process. After an in-depth revisit of China s position on sovereignty and non-interference from a historical and cultural perspective, the author further explores a few areas of importance where China s viewpoints often invite general interest: human rights, sustainable development, and multilateralism and regional cooperation. 11 August 2013 ISBN Paperback (312 pp.) List price EUR 15.- / US$ February 2013 ISBN Paperback (504 pp.) 16 December 2012 ISBN Paperback (288 pp.) List price EUR 15.- / US$

14 The Pocket Books of The Hague Academy of International Law 12 Non-discrimination in the World Trade Organization The Rules and Exceptions William J. Davey International trade is conducted mainly under the rules of the World Trade Organization. Its non-discrimination rules are of fundamental importance. In essence, they require WTO members not to discriminate amongst products of other WTO members in trade matters (the most favoured- nation rule) and, subject to permitted market-access limitations, not to discriminate against products of other WTO members in favour of domestic products (the national treatment rule). The interpretation of these rules is quite difficult. Their reach is potentially so broad that it has been felt that they should be limited by a number of exceptions, some of which also present interpretative difficulties. Indeed, one of the principal conundrums faced by WTO dispute settlement is how to strike the appropriate balance between the rules and exceptions. Davey explores the background and justification for the non-discrimination rules and examines how the rules and the exceptions have been interpreted in WTO dispute settlement. He gives considerable attention to whether the exceptions give sufficient discretion to WTO members to pursue their legitimate non-trade policy goals. Private International Law as Component of the Law of the Forum Michael Bogdan, Lund University In spite of the undoubtedly great and rising importance of the international legislative co-operation regarding private international law, it must be remembered that no successful unification or harmonization of conflict rules has ever taken place on the universal level, and that the conflict rules stemming from international legislative co-operation between a limited number of countries give rise to the same problems as non-harmonized rules, whenever they have to be used in relation to countries not participating in the legislative co-operation in question. This book will therefore focus on the last-mentioned problems and refrain from dealing with the particular issues arising from international legislative co-operation in the field of private international law. One of the principal aims of Michael Bogdan is to demonstrate the relationship between the national rules of private international law and the rest of the legal system of the forum country, in the first place its substantive private law and its law of civil procedure, as well as to illustrate the impact of the forum country s general ethical and other values on its private international law. Radiating Impact of WTO on Its Members Legal System: The Chinese Perspective Guiguo Wang The World Trade Organization ( WTO ) resulted from globalization, through which national law provisions are internationalized and international norms are domesticated. The WTO does not permit reservation by its members who are obliged to ensure the compliance of their laws, policies and other measures. Once a member is found to have violated its obligations, it must rectify the non-compliance measures to avoid retaliation. The quasi-automatic approval procedure of the WTO Dispute Settlement Body has proved to be effective in ensuring the compliance by members and consistency of interpretation of the WTO Agreement. As the multilateral trade institution covers a wide range of sectors from trade in goods and services, and intellectual property to investment and the measures of the members include laws and regulations, administrative decisions and judicial rulings, the impacts of the WTO on the members legal systems are hugely profound and long lasting. In some cases, for the purpose of joining the WTO, the legal systems of the members concerned have been through significant changes.
