Review A Guide to the New ICC Rules of Arbitration / Kluwer Law International:The ICC Rules of Arbitration ("the Rules") constitute one of the world's oldest and most widely-used sets of rules for international commercial disputes. On January 1, 1998, new rules took effect which represent the first major reform of the Rules in two decades. This in-depth, article-by-article guide differentiates the new Rules from the earlier versions and explains the way in which they will operate in practice. Both authors had a close involvement in the preparation of the new Rules - Mr Derains, as chairman of the working party that prepared them, and Mr Schwartz as Secretary General of the ICC Court during their preparation (Mr Derains has also served in this position). The reference book should be of interest to anyone dealing with or expecting to deal with the new ICC Rules.

Review Health and Safety Law (Health & Safety in Practice) / Financial Times Prentice Hall:The estimated annual cost to society of health and safety failure is GBP18bn. The Government has recently set out targets for the first time which aim to reduce the impact of these failures by 30% over the next ten years. The last decade has seen significant changes in the approach to health and safety legislation. It is no longer just dangerous industries for which regulation is vital. The rise in service sector industries has meant an increase in employees being exposed to risks such as musculo-skeletal injury and stress-related illnesses. At a time when both public and private sector organisations are becoming ever more aware of the importance of promoting positive public images and enjoying good standing among stakeholders, safety specialists are keen to persuade managers to take a more comprehensive view of how health and safety can contribute to wider business objectives. It is no longer enough just complying with the minimum requirements of the law.

Review International Survey of Family Law:Published on Behalf of the International Society of Family Law (International Survey of Family Law) (International Survey of Family Law) / Springer:This work, published on behalf of the International Society of Family Law, is the successor to the "Annual Survey of Family Law". It provides information, analysis and comment on recent developments in family law across the world on a country-by-country basis. The survey is published annually and its subtitle reflects the calendar year surveyed. Where a country has been regularly surveyed each year, the developments discussed correspond to the year in question. If certain countries have not been surveyed for some years the contributions will usually attempt to cover the intervening period. This applies, for example, in the present volume to the contributions relating to China and Turkey. If countries are being covered for the first time, then more background information will be provided about the state of family law in the country in question. Examples in this volume are the contributions from Bulgaria and Malta.

Review Contemporary Developments in Nuclear Energy Law:Harmonising Legislation in CEEC/NIS (International Energy and Resources Law and Policy Series.) / Springer:In recent years there has been much concern about the safety of nuclear installations in Central and Eastern European countries (CEEC) and the Newly Independent States (NIS). The enhancement of such safety has been a focal point in the discussions on enlargement of international organizations such as the EU, OECD and NATO. To provide these states with nuclear safety-related assistance, several funds were set up to finance technical and legal assistance on a multilateral as well as bilateral basis. However, the release of such money has been hampered by the absence of complete legal protection against potentially huge liability claims against the governments and companies that provide the assistance. The problem of nuclear liability constitutes a serious impediment to the performance of safety-related assistance work in the CEEC/NIS. In turn, this threatens the overall protection of the international community against nuclear hazards. This impasse is the main focus of this book, which provides an overview of the latest legislative developments concerning nuclear safety and liability in the CEEC/NIS, as well as an analysis of related international and national legislative, financial and technical initiatives. The objective is to bring together the various approaches of academic, governmental, industrial and CEEC/NIS expertise.

Review Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Judgements Outside Thescope of the Brussels and Lugano Conventions (Civil Procedures in Europe, Vol 3) / Kluwer Law International:This text, the third in the "Civil Procedure in Europe" series, provides a comparative overview, for 18 European countries, of those areas of recognition and enforcement practice that have not been harmonised by the Brussels and Lugano Conventions. Each country's practice in these areas is described and analyzed by a national expert distinguished in the field of civil procedural law. The contributions are written in either English, French, or German, and are followed by summaries in both remaining languages.

Each national report addresses the following issues: sources of law and general principles for the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgements, recognisable judgements, conditions for recognition and enforcement of foreign judgements and special proceedings for recognizing and enforcing judgements. A comparative contribution by the editors analyzes the similarities and differences between the various European systems. The countries covered are Austria, Belgium, The Czech Republic, England, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland.

Review Principles of European Law: Volume Seven: Non-Contractual Liability Arising out of Damage Caused to Another (European Civil Code Series) / Oxford University Press, USA:The Study Group on a European Civil Code has taken upon itself the task of drafting common European principles for the most important aspects of the law of obligations and for certain parts of the law of property in movables which are especially relevant for the functioning of the common market. Like the Commission on European Contract Law's "Principles of European Contract Law", the results of the research conducted by the Study Group on a European Civil Code seek to advance the process of Europeanization of private law. Among other topics the series tackles sales and service contracts, distribution contracts and security rights, renting contracts and loan agreements, negotiorum gestio, delicts and unjustified enrichment law, transfer of property, and trust law. The principles furnish each of the national jurisdictions a grid of reference. They can be agreed upon by the parties within the framework of the rules of private international law. They may provide a stimulus to both the national and European legislator for molding private law. Beyond this, they aim to further discussion about the creation of a European Civil Code, or a Common Frame of Reference in the area of patrimonial law, by submitting a concrete model. The "Principles of European Law" are published in co-operation with Bruylant (Belgium), Oxford University Press (United Kingdom) and Staempfli Publishers Ltd. (Switzerland).

Review The Internationalization of the Practice of Law / Springer:As we enter the 21st century, the legal profession - that is the work of attorneys, in-house legal counsels, and other legal advisors - is changing rapidly. The division of labour between single practitioners and small local law firms on the one hand, and larger, national and international law firms on the other is becoming more and more extreme. While the big firms pick up literally all commercial law cases and accounts, they are under powerful competitive pressure from their domestic peers and from foreign firms to be ever more international and ever more professional. The impact of this `internationalization' of the practice of law on the way attorneys are working today, the way they have to organize their offices, the quantity and quality of continuing education they require, and the way law should be taught in law school in the first place, has hardly been examined in a systematic way up to now. The present volume brings together the results of an international research project coordinated by Jens Drolshammer and Michael Pfeifer. The editors, both of whom are attorneys and permanent adjunct professors at well-known law schools, invited a number of pre-eminent representatives of the legal profession and some very well-known and experienced law professors to share their views on the ongoing internationalization of the legal profession and what it means for the education and practice of law in the 21st century. The contributions cover the topic from many different angles: managing an international law firm, different approaches in Europe and the USA, collaboration and strategic alliances between firms from different countries and legal systems, the legal profession in Japan and China, developments in international arbitration and mediation, the perspective of in-house legal counsel, the perspective of management and consultants, multidisciplinary practice, repercussions on education in law schools and in continuing education programmes, the benefit of having a diverse group of attorneys in a firm and the problems this may entail, and of course the impact of electronic media on the profession. The internationalization of the legal profession raises many questions: The changes we experience or foresee, are they for the better? Are they for the benefit of the clients and their business? Or for the benefit of the lawyers? Or of society, the law, the international community as a whole? Are they inevitable? And: What may need to be done in order to secure a fair distribution of the benefits and a safe check against the perils? The essays in this book will not provide all the answers but they are sure to stimulate a debate and a more critical and proactive approach to a process that needs to be managed and not just endured.

Review The Relationship between the International Criminal Court and National Jurisdictions: The Principle of Complementarity (The Raoul Wallenberg Institute Human Rights Library) / Hotei Publishing:The principle of complementarity provides a framework as to when the Prosecutor of the ICC may and should interfere vis-a-vis national judicial systems. The principle acknowledges the primary right of states to prosecute while also recognising the need for international interference when states fail in this task. As formulated in the Rome Statute, however, it leaves complex questions unresolved. To mention a few: When is a national criminal proceeding really an attempt to shield the perpetrator? When can a national judicial system be characterised as unavailable? And when will an ICC prosecution serve the interests of justice? This book seeks to answer these and other related questions by interpreting the relevant provisions of the Rome Statute and discussing them in a broad context. This book also critically assesses policy considerations underlying the establishment of the ICC, including the implications of international criminal justice for achieving peace. It asks, inter alia, whether the ICC should set aside an amnesty which a national truth commission has granted in an attempt to achieve a peaceful transition from tyranny to democracy.

Review Genocide, Crimes Against Humanity, War Crimes: Nullum Crimen Sine Lege and the Subject Matter Jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (School of Human Rights Research Series, V. 12) / Intersentia Uitgevers N V:International Criminal Court launches. On April 11th 2002, ten governments ratified the statute of the International Criminal Court, bringing the total number of ratifications to 66, well above the 60 needed to launch the court. With this milestone, the treaty will take effect July 1, and the court should be up and running within a year. This is a historic moment for the cause of human rights and international justice. The ICC will be the first standing court of its kind, a permanent international criminal tribunal with potentially global reach to try individuals responsible for the most serious human rights crimes: genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity such as systematic torture, enforced disappearance, or rape. This book aims to assess the subject matter jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court and to explore the borderlines of judicial interpretation. In due course, the definitions of the crimes included in the Rome Statute are to be interpreted by the Court on the basis of a Statutory provision containing a principle fundamental to most national criminal laws: nullum crimen sine lege. However, does this principle apply in international law in the same way as it does in national laws? And how should the Court deal with this principle in view of the character of the crimes concerned? The author offers a complete overview of the statute and the work of the International Criminal Court. Definitions, standards, outcomes, etc. are put into context and supported by a detailed table of contents, index and bibliography. [+]A must for the libraries of individuals and institutions alike.

Review Judicial Review in International Perspective:Liber Amicorum in Honour of Lord Slynn of Hadley (Liber Amicorum in Honour of Lord Slynn of Hadley, Vol 2) / Kluwer Law International:Lord Slynn of Hadley is one of the outstanding judges of his time. He has served as a High Court Judge, as an Advocate General and Owa Judge of the European Court of Justice, and he has been a Lord of Appeal for ten years. This Liber Amicorum bears testimony to the international reputation that he has achieved for his judgments and for his scholarship. In the many distinguished contributions, judges from international courts and from Supreme Courts and Constitutional Courts, together with academics from leading universities around the world, have taken the opportunity to celebrate the accomplishments of Lord Slynn's legal career thus far, and also to discuss areas of law where Lord Slynn can be expected to give important impulses to further development. The thirty years of the legal life of Lord Slynn of Hadley (Gordon Slynn as he is known to his friends) have seen remarkable developments and changes in the legal scenery, both domestic (British), and international. This book, by his friends, extends widely. Recollect that there is a separate volume covering the European Court of Justice, and yet there is enough in this publication to celebrate several separate careers. The reader will note that there are contributions from justices of eight Supreme Courts, plus the German Constitutional Court, the Conseil Constitutionel and the European Court of Human Rights, from ten universities, many of them multiple, together with famous institutions and individuals in many different fields. Even Lord Slynn's young lecturer interest in Air Law is reflected by a professional paper on the Law of Space. Many, if not most, of the contributions bear, appropriately, on the question of the role of courts in reviewing actions of the legislature and the executive, but there are also articles to attract other diverse specialists, several, no doubt to Lord Slynn's pleasure, provocative and forward-looking. [+]Lord Slynn is happily still in office, so this is really a "Festschrift" of celebration.
