Democratic Governance and International Law

Democratic Governance and International Law (Cambridge University Press ) 2000 Editor

From Amazon.com: "This book considers how the post-Cold War democratic revolution has affected international law. Traditionally, international law said little about the way in which governments were chosen. In the 1990s, however, international law has been deployed to encourage transitions to democracy, and to justify the armed expulsion of military juntas that overthrow elected regimes. In this volume, leading international legal scholars assess this change in international law and ask whether a commitment to democracy is consistent with the structure and rules of the international legal system."

Politics Today

Most decisions in modern society depend to some extent on the workings of the political process. Debate over the role of government vis-a-vis the individual has continued since the time of Plato and Aristotle.

Political science, as a discipline, encompasses a broad range of subfields that attempt to describe and explain the political process, politics, and the relationship among governments. The general areas of study in political science include American government and politics, political theory, public administration, public law, comparative politics, and international relations.

Public International Law Articles

Blackstone Chambers is experienced in advising and representing governments, corporate bodies and individual litigants on international disputes, constitutional affairs and human rights issues before a range of international courts. Barristers have particular experience in international boundary disputes, state and diplomatic immunity and international protection of human rights. They appear regularly before the International Court of Justice, international arbitration tribunals (for example ICSID, the International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes) and before domestic courts in cases involving issues of public international law.

Chambers’ expertise in this area is anchored in individuals who have a strong academic background in public international law, for example Maurice Mendelson QC (Chair of International Law, UCL from 1987-2001) and Guy Goodwin-Gill (Senior Research Fellow at All Souls College, Oxford, and Professor of International Refugee Law at Oxford University from 1998-2002).

Public International laws: A general understanding

Public International laws

Public International laws center mainly on the avocation of human rights and protection of the environment. However, they will also include other topics as well. Public international law deals with the structure and conduct of sovereign state, intergovernmental organizations, and analogous entities. In relation to the increase of armed conflict, environmental deterioration, global trade, awareness of human rights violations, a boom in global communications, and fast and large growth in international transportation, public international law has escalated greatly in importance. Aside from its focus on human rights, public international law has been known to focus as well on issues with due process protections, asylum law, nationality and citizenship, and rights of the child. Although its concentration is set on the environment and human rights, it can include these other areas.

Public international law can be divided into two central branches: international agreements and conventions, and the law of nations. The term public international law, itself, was first conceived by Jeremy Bentham, a prominent English philosopher. The four main sources of public international law are: customs, international treaties, teachings, and general principles of law and judicial decisions. The groundwork and foundation for identifying states as principal actors in the international legal system has been instituted by public international law. The main people involved in an issue dealing with public international law would be the head of a nation or organization, the sovereign power. In some cases it would be the Prime Minister, or President of a given country. Later on, most cases involved the department in charge of representing that sovereign power such as the Foreign Ministry, or State Department (U.S.), etc… Even though these departments of government will be the main or lead role in establishing the international law, the leader of that nation may still be needed to approve and endorse such a law. When considering a universal scale, the two most important congregations for creating public international law are the United Nations and the still young but effective European Union. Some branches of international law that public international law deals with would be international trade law, diplomatic law, consular law, and international environmental law. Dilemmas that deal with public international law have an inclination to be more tough to foresee, and more illusive and complicated to decipher, than cases that deal with private international law.

Having taken a look at public international law, its meaning, its reach, and its effect, we can gain a general idea of how it works and its importance to international law. It is in essence a categorization for a group of international laws that fall under it, pertaining to the sovereign power or department creating them, and who they entail to. In conclusion, it is safe to understand that public international law is the law of a political system of nation-states that bestows laws upon national systems it touches, which are not adequately governed.

Public International Law

In the wake of the calamitous events of September 11, 2001, public international law has endured some of the greatest tests of its several-hundred-year history and emerged as one of the most resilient and potent tools available to human society in facing the unsettling global conditions of the early 21st century. As a result, since the appearance of the first edition of this book in 2001, public international law –ostensibly a system of law regulating the relations between states – has continued to evolve and grow in significance for daily life within states. Yet, while the idea of public international law has impinged upon the public consciousness in new and urgent ways in the past few years, it remains poorly understood by many.

As with the first edition of this book, therefore, the second edition of Public International Law provides a systematic introduction to the international legal system, including its key structural and institutional aspects as well as its core substantive topics. Analysis of all topics has been extensively revised and expanded since the first edition in order to reflect the many legal changes that have occurred since 2001. Several new discussions have also been introduced, considerably expanding the substantive coverage of the text. In particular, given the centrality of the topic to the functioning of the modern international legal system, an entirely new chapter on the use of force in international relations has been added.

While the treatment is intended to introduce lawyers, judges and law students to the topic for the first time, detailed case analyses and bibliographical references will also make this book of interest to those already familiar with the field. A glossary, detailed index and table of cases will further increase the book’s value as a reference tool and assist with navigation through the text.
