Review International Space Law and the United Nations / Springer:International Space Law and the United Nations is a comprehensive collection of writings by the author on this latest branch of international law. The book covers a number of subjects highlighted by discussions of the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space and its Legal Subcommittee. The book also takes into account the influences that international organizations have had on the development of space law and includes several perspectives of developing countries on this subject. This publication is an outstanding educational and reference tool, as the author tackles this complex subject in an organized and rational manner. The author, a key participant at the United Nations in the development of international law relating to activities in space, traces the history of that development, giving clear insight into the workings of the Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space, and establishes space law as a distinct legal discipline. Subsequent chapters are devoted to the various issues that have given rise to the growth of this discipline, including arms control; economic and social development; specific provisions contained in the outer space treaties and how they relate to practical matters, such as dispute resolution; private sector growth and commercialization in space activities; international cooperative programmes, particularly those developed under the auspices of the United Nations, and recent developments and future issues facing the space-faring community. The book is an excellent source for further research in the field of space law. It is a must for students and practitioners and those interested in international organizations.

Review In the Name of the People:Perpetrators of Genocide in the Reflection of Their Post-War Prosecution in West Germany the 'Euthanasia' and Aktion Reinhard Trial Cases / Springer:In the Name of the People explores the profile of the perpetrators of Nazi genocide as reflected in postwar German trial sentences. It investigates their social background, their `route to crime', and their role in the Nazi extermination apparatus. In addition, it studies the postwar prosecution of these genocidal criminals in West Germany. It describes and analyses the obstacles, `bottlenecks', and omissions in the prosecuting policies and presents their statistical record. It examines the way in which postwar German courts dealt with these criminals by an in-depth study of the trial sentences against two specific groups of genocidal perpetrators: the `Euthanasia' and `Aktion Reinhard' killers. Through a scrutiny of the argumentation of the various courts' sentences in these cases, it presents a detailed picture of the grounds for acquittal, conviction and punishment. It discusses the controversial differentiation of `murder' and `complicity in murder' with regard to these genocidal perpetrators and highlights the ways in which the courts handled complicated questions, such as acting under superior orders, duress, and coercion. The study is intended for a readership consisting of historians, sociologists, criminologists, legal experts and others interested in the `fieldworkers' and modus operandi of the Nazi genocide and Germany's postwar judicial reaction to it.

Review The GATT Uruguay Round: A Negotiating History (1993-1994) The End Game (Part I) (The End Game) / Springer:Volume Four of "The GATT Uruguay Round: A Negotiating History (1986-1994)" deals with the final sessions of the world's most ambitious trade negotiations to date and its most significant accomplishment - the creation of the World Trade Organization. It includes the negotiating history of important modifications made during the end-game in 1993 and before the signing ceremony in Marrakesh in April 1994. This period saw major changes in the text and the extent of obligations undertaken in the agriculture and services sectors, as well as the final completion of negotiations in subsidies and countervailing duties, customs valuation, and other sectors. It was also during this last period that the final agreements in trade-related aspects of intellectual property rights (TRIPS) and trade-related invested measures (TRIMS) emerged. Like the earlier volumes in this treatise, Volume Four should be useful for its revelation not only of what was resolved but also of what was not resolved. This work belongs in the collection of all concerned with the evolution and continuing development of international trade as a vital component of our contemporary world.

Review The Contested Maritime and Territorial Boundaries of Malaysia:An International Law Perspective (International Boundary Studies Series) / Springer:This work is a detailed study of the origins of the maritime and territorial disputes of Malaysia. The reason why this Southeast Asian country has been chosen is because Malaysia provides a good example of boundary problems faced by most countries throughout the region. The author, who has lived for more than a decade in Malaysia and has a BA (Hons) in Anthropology, Southeast Asian Studies with Law and a PhD in International Law, first gives a detailed analysis of the country's overlapping maritime claims in the Straits of Malacca and Singapore, the Gulf of Thailand, the South China Sea, the Sulu Sea and the Celebes Sea, followed by a comprehensive examination of Malaysia's territorial disputes with Indonesia, Singapore, Brunei, the Philippines, China and Taiwan, including the complex question of ownership over the Spratly Islands. In assessing the present disputes, the historical context has been extensively detailed to demonstrate the longevity and complexity of the legal issues. The work scrutinizes the claims made under prevailing international law principles and examines the present level of dispute resolution. The main text is divided into two parts. The first examines the maritime claims arising from the publication of a map issued in 1979. The second analyzes five territorial disputes in which Malaysia is involved with its neighbours. The main issues throughout the work include the necessity to analyze the claims in their historical context and details in order to achieve delimitation results that will withstand the test of time even if political and economic circumstances change. The text includes a chronological list of the main treaties, legislation and related documents concerning the disputes discussed, an extensive bibliography of publications regarding the issues raised and 23 maps, making it a comprehensive reference work on this subject.

Review War Crimes Against Women:Prosecution in International War Crimes Tribunals / Martinus Nijhoff Publishers:This book examines laws and customs of war prohibiting rape crimes dating back thousands of years, even though gender-specific crimes, particularly sex crimes, have been prevalent in wartime for centuries. It surveys the historical treatment of women in wartime, and argues that all the various forms of gender-specific crimes must be prosecuted and punished. It reviews the Nuremberg and Tokyo War Crimes Tribunals from a gendered perspective, and discusses how crimes against women could have been prosecuted in these tribunals and suggests explanations as to why they were neglected. It addresses the status of women in domestic and international law during the past one hundred years, including the years preceding World War II and in the aftermath of this war, and in the years immediately preceding the Yugoslav conflict. The evolution of the status and participation of women in international human rights and international humanitarian law is analyzed, including the impact domestic law and practice has had on international law and practice. Finally, this book reviews gender-specific crimes in the Yugoslav conflict, and presents arguments as to how various gender-specific crimes (including rape, forced prostitution, forced impregnation, forced maternity, forced sterilization, genocidal rape, and sexual mutilation) can be, and why they must be, prosecuted under Articles 2-5 of the Yugoslav Statute (i. e. , as grave breaches of the Geneva Conventions, torture, violations of the laws of war, violations of the customs of war, genocide, and crimes against humanity). The author, a human rights attorney, academic, and activist, spent three years researching both the treatment of women during periods of armed conflict and humanitarian laws protecting women from war crimes.

Review Perspectives on International Law / Springer:In the spirit of the 50th anniversary of the United Nations and the United Nations Decade of International Law, the contributors honour, with this legal treatise a, devoted friend of the United Nations and international law, Judge Manfred Lachs - a noted judge, diplomat, humanist and, above all, teacher.
