This book provides updates on the important work of long-standing international tribunals and introduces novel topics in international law. The book continues to provide expert coverage of the International Court of Justice, the Court of Justice of the European Union and of diverse tribunals, from the criminal tribunals for the Former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, to economically based tribunals such as ICSID and the WTO Dispute Resolution panel. This book presents topics on the intervention of the United States and coalition partners in territories under the control of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) to the weak area in the institutional and normative framework of the Revised Treaty of Chaguaramas. This book also provides guidance on a rich diversity of legal topics, from the concept of global governance to the impact of the legal status of “responsibility to protect” resulting from the dissimilar reaction of the UN Security Council to the Libyan and Syrian civil wars; from the concept of “cultural relativism” to the issues relating to “ecocide” and “crimes against humanity”. This edition also provides students, scholars, and practitioners alike a valuable combination of expert discussion and direct quotes from the court opinions to which that discussion relates, an annual overview of the process of cross-fertilization between international courts and tribunals and a section focusing on the thought of leading international law scholars on the subject of the globalization.
