The Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees adopted on 28 July 1951 in Geneva continues to provide the most comprehensive codification of the rights of refugees yet attempted. Consolidating previous international instruments relating to refugees, the 1951 Convention with its 1967 Protocol marks a cornerstone in the development of international refugee law. At present, there are 149 States Parties to one or both of these instruments, expressing a worldwide consensus on the definition of the term refugee and the fundamental rights to be granted to refugees. These facts demonstrate and underline the extraordinary significance of these instruments as the indispensable legal basis of international refugee law. This Commentary provides for a systematic and comprehensive analysis of the 1951 Convention and the 1967 Protocol on an article-by-article basis, exposing the interrelationship between the different articles and discussing the latest developments in international refugee law. In addition, several thematic contributions analyse questions of international refugee law which are of general significance, such as regional developments, the interrelationship between refugee law and general human rights law, as well as the relationship between refugee law and the law of the sea.

The Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees adopted on July 28, 1951 in Geneva provides the most comprehensive codification of the rights of refugees yet attempted. Consolidating previous international instruments relating to refugees, the 1951 Convention with its 1967 Protocol marks a cornerstone in the development of international refugee law. At present, there are 144 States Parties to one or both of these instruments, expressing a worldwide consensus on the definition of the term refugee and the fundamental rights to be granted to refugees. These facts demonstrate and underline the extraordinary significance of these instruments as the indispensable legal basis of international refugee law. This Commentary provides for a systematic and comprehensive analysis of the 1951 Convention and the 1967 Protocol on an article-by-article basis, exposing the interrelationship between the different articles and discussing the latest developments in international refugee law.

The International Court of Justice is the principal judicial organ of the United Nations and plays a central role in both the peaceful settlement of international disputes and the development of international law. This comprehensive Commentary on the Statute of the International Court of Justice, now in its second edition, analyses in detail not only the Statute of the Court itself but also the related provisions of the United Nations Charter as well as the relevant provisions of the Court's Rules of Procedure. Five years after the first edition was published, the second edition of the Commentary embraces current events before the International Court of Justice as well as before other courts and tribunals relevant for the interpretation and application of its Statute. The Commentary provides a comprehensive overview and analysis of all legal questions and issues the Court has had to address in the past and will have to address in the future. It illuminates the central issues of procedure and substance that the Court and counsel appearing before it face in their day-to-day work. In addition to commentary covering all of the articles of the Statute of the ICJ, plus the relevant articles of the Charter of the United Nations, the book includes three scene-setting chapters: Historical Introduction, General Principles of Procedural Law, and Discontinuation and Withdrawal. The second edition of the Commentary adds two important and instructive chapters on Counter-Claims and Evidentiary Issues. The combination of expert editors and commentators, and their assessment of new developments in the important work of the ICJ, make this a landmark publication in the field of international law.

On the first day of summer vacation, children Alex, Jared, and Madison find something more waiting for them at home than the normal freedom that comes with summer. A family friend has come for a visit, bringing presents with him as usual. They are all in for a surprise, however, when the kids find that their miniature dragon statues have come alive! As the Zedmore family quickly discovers, raising dragons as pets is not something they were prepared for. When an elder dragon appears from another realm to bring the young dragons home, the human children are accidentally pulled through to the other world. Trouble has been brewing in the magical world of Shard and few creatures are happy with the arrival of the humans. To be allowed to return home, the Zedmore children must first make the treacherous journey to see the Dragon Council.

An adventure that combines magic and intrigue, Dragon Law is the first book in the Legend of Shard series....

Nach dem Ende der Dekolonisierung schien es über lange Zeit hinweg so, als habe das Recht der Staatennachfolge in völkerrechtliche Verträge zumindest weitgehend seine praktische Bedeutung verloren. Die deutsche Wiedervereinigung, der Zerfall der UdSSR und der Sozialistischen Föderativen Republik Jugoslawien sowie die Teilung der CSFR belegen jedoch die erneute Aktualität der Fragestellung.Vor diesem Hintergrund legt der Autor nunmehr die bislang einzige umfassende Analyse der neueren Staatenpraxis vor, die anhand der Wiener Konvention über das Recht der Staatennachfolge in völkerrechtliche Verträge zugleich untersucht, unter welchen Vorgaben sich eine völkerrechtliche Kodifikation auch praktisch durchzusetzen vermag.

Auch nach der Reform des Asylrechts ist die juristische Auseinandersetzung um diese Frage keineswegs zum Abschluß gekommen. Vor diesem Hintergrund beschäftigt sich das vorliegende Buch mit der Frage der Vereinbarkeit des Konzepts sicherer Herkunfts- und Drittstaaten mit der Genfer Flüchtlings- und der Europäischen Menschenrechtskonvention. Ferner wird auch die Übereinstimmung von Art. 16a Grundgesetz mit dem in Art. 79 Grundgesetz enthaltenen Gebot des Schutzes der Menschenwürde und des Rechtsstaatsprinzips untersucht. Schließlich wird gefragt, ob Art. 16a Grundgesetz hinreichend den Weg für eine europäische Harmonisierung des Asylrechts ebnet.
