Review Kurzkommentar zum ABGB: Allgemeines bürgerliches Gesetzbuch, Ehegesetz, Konsumentenschutzgesetz, IPR-Gesetz und Europäisches Vertragsstatutübereinkommen (German Edition) / Springer:Auch in seiner zweiten Auflage behandelt der KBB in kompakter, systematischer und praxisnaher Weise ABGB, EheG und KSchG. Neu hinzugekommen sind die Kommentierung des IPRG sowie eine Einführung in das EVÜ, verfasst durch Richter des OGH. Neben einer allgemeinen Aktualisierung wurde vor allem das am 1. 1. 2007 in Kraft getretene HaRÄG sorgfältig berücksichtigt: einerseits die im ABGB selbst erfolgten Änderungen (z. B. Sicherstellung bei Bauverträgen), andererseits die Hinweise auf das UGB (vormals HGB). Ferner wurde das neue Sachwalterrecht eingehend kommentiert. Aktualität, Praktikabilität, höchstgerichtliche Judikatur sowie weiterführende Problemaufbereitung stehen auch in der Neubearbeitung weiterhin im Vordergrund. Das Bemühen um besondere Benutzerfreundlichkeit zeigt sich überdies im detaillierten Sachverzeichnis sowie in der Angabe des Aktenzeichens bei Entscheidungen seit 1990, mit dessen Hilfe in Datenbanken problemlos recherchiert werden kann.

Review The Principle of Legality in International Human Rights Institutions:Selected Legal Opinions (Raoul Wallenberg Institute Human Rights Library, Vol 3) / Springer:This book provides dramatic evidence of the principle of legality at work in international human rights institutions during the past half-century. It brings together scattered legal opinions from the early years of the United Nations and renders a great service in chronicling the practice of international law in a vital domain. It is itself a labour of love, having been assembled piece-by-piece over several years. Legal advisers in international organizations and those interested in the craftsmanship of international human rights law will find it indispensable. Those whose vision is to see international human rights law triumph over partisan politicking in international organizations will find a wealth of examples of patient advocacy of the principles of legality and due process. Some of the legal opinions reproduced are stunning for their courage and cogency. No international human rights lawyer should be without this book.

Review UNHCR and Voluntary Repatriation of Regugees / Springer:Voluntary repatriation of refugees is generally considered to be the preferred, even ideal, solution to what is traditionally designated `the problem of refugees'. Its popularity may also be inferred from the fact that the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees has declared the nineties to be the `decade of voluntary repatriation'. This study attempts to analyze the legal meaning of voluntary repatriation, its place within the framework of universal refugee law, and whether or not it deserves to be called an ideal solution. The focus is on UNHCR - the agency which is mandated to assist in the voluntary repatriation of refugees - as the constant and recurrent actor in the practice of organized large-scale repatriations. The study comprises a brief historical analysis of the events which preceded the adoption by the General Assembly of the Statute of the High Commissioner with its reference to voluntary repatriation, the evolution of the High Commissioner's mandate over the past 45 years, as well as four case studies: the voluntary repatriation of Cambodian refugees in 1980 and, again, in 1992 and 1993; of Iraqi (Kurdish) refugees in 1991; and of Mozambican refugees (from Malawi) in 1993-1995.

Review Legal Reform in Post-Communist Europe:The View from Within / Springer:This book represents an effort to assess the unprecedented political, economic, and social reforms that have swept through Central and Eastern Europe in the five years since the collapse of Communism. The dismantling of the Warsaw Pact, the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance, the Communist Party apparatus, and the various manifestations of the `nomenklatura' political control system have meant different things in different countries, but throughout the region we have witnessed a struggle to replace an authoritarian, one-party political system and a command economy with something resembling Western-style constitutional democracy and market economics. Accompanying this struggle have been attempts to transform the legal structure of these countries. It is no exaggeration to claim that lawyers, and particularly legal scholars, have played a central role in the struggle for reform in post-communist Europe. As conceived by its principal organizer and editor (Stanislaw Frankowski), this study gives these scholars an opportunity to express their perceptions of the success achieved to date and the work still remaining. A secondary goal is to expose a Western audience to the views and insights of legal scholars who have worked within the Central and Eastern European traditions. The four parts of this book reflect the principal areas in which legal reform seemed essential. First comes the reconstitutionalization of the societies in question, which means above all else the elimination of single-party politics and the notion of unity of powers. Then comes the creation of the legal institutions that would make possible a civil society under law. Then the institutions that moderate and control the uses of state power to discipline and punish persons that have transgressed the society's norms. [+]Finally there is the question of how law reform had dealt with industrial democracy and the anticipated transformation of the workplace.

Review Trusts in Prime Jurisdictions / Globe Law and Business:The use of trusts in the modern, globalised economy is expanding rapidly. Trusts are employed, among many other purposes, for tax and estate planning, to protect assets from political unrest, and to address forced heirship and commercial transaction issues. Since publication of the first edition in 2000, there have been a number of legal and regulatory changes, including accelerated international efforts to fight money laundering and the use of funds by terror organizations. These developments, as well as the passing of six years since its first publication, have necessitated a thorough revision of the book's original contents and the addition of several entirely new topical chapters and a number of new jurisdictions. Trusts in Prime Jurisdictions, Second Edition features analysis from 19 jurisdictions where trusts are part of the economic and legal landscape. The book contains 30 chapters, contributed by practitioners and academics - many of whom are members of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners - on various aspects of trust law, taxation and related subjects, both on and offshore. The work is an invaluable resource for the specialist practitioner wishing to gain a broader, international perspective, and for professionals who require a good basic knowledge of the subject.

Review The Emerging System of International Criminal Law:Developments in Codification and Implementation (AAA Yearbooks) / Springer:How far has the world come in creating a system of international criminal law? As global society grows ever more interdependent, international crime is increasingly regarded as a serious threat. Now is the time for the international community to produce more comprehensive solutions to prevent, punish and deter crimes under international law. In this book, the author focuses on recent developments in codification and implementation to evaluate prospects for the emergence of a unified system of international criminal law, characterized by broad and coherent material coverage, as well as fair and effective institutional implementation. To this end, he sketches the normative contours of international criminal law by exploring the history, content and legal status of the relevant norms against the background of the work of the International Law Commission. He then surveys patterns in existing means of implementation at both the inter-State and international levels, examining key issues relating to the acquisition of custody over the alleged offender, the role of the extradition system and the use of international criminal tribunals. Finally, the author identifies the essential properties for the emergence of a good system of international criminal law and locates the development and future prospects of this field within the main historical dynamics of international legal cooperation.

Review Sovereign (in)equality in International Organizations (Legal Aspects of International Organization) / Springer:This book challenges the dominant intellectual assumptions of mainstream international law scholarship regarding the principle of Sovereign Equality. The animus and scope of this challenge is situated in the context of the decision-making processes in International Governmental Organizations (IGOs) which employ the `one state, one vote' and/or the `weighted voting' rule. Using the theories of Functionalism and Legitimacy to analyze the legal implications and complications of the principal voting mechanisms and voting practices of certain key IGOs vis-a-vis the doctrine of Sovereign Equality, the author establishes that this doctrine has remained far too orthodox for contemporary realities. In this context, she emphasizes the importance of the necessity for functional legitimate decision-making processes in global governance, and, accordingly, advocates the elimination of the anachronistic and non-viable principle of Sovereign Equality from international institutional law. The author also rejects the introduction of any new principle in IGOs - e. g. democratic governance - which will render decision-making even less functional.

Review Directors Liability in Case of Insolvency / Kluwer Law International:The rise in the number of cross-border transactions and large insolvencies in free-market countries has brought director liability to the foreground, most notably regarding positions that span multiple jurisdictions and do not involve an active role in management. Directors must be aware of the rules applicable in the countries in which they hold positions, especially where their companies face financial difficulties or insolvency. Numerous differences in the law exist, even between countries close in proximity and those which speak the same language and share the same legal history. The cost of failure to conform to applicable laws may be dire. Numerous factors hamper access to the applicable rules, however: the lack of a multi-national treaty dealing in depth with insolvency, corporate restructuring, or directors' liabilities; the lack of unity in applicable sanctions; the complex and numerous sources of jurisdictional rules (the Insolvency Act, the Corporations Act, and the Criminal Code, or some combination); the lack of jurisdictional consistency in classifying a particular behaviour as illegal; the significant role of a constantly evolving body of case law; and the instructions imposed on public prosecutors by governmental bodies. This book navigates these complexities, making the rules accessible for the reader. It sets out fact patterns which trigger liability in various jurisdictions and offers helpful real-world recommendations in a lucid, straightforward manner. The chapters follow the same basic frame and guidelines for ease of comparison. Lawyers and business people alike will appreciate this clear, practical guidance in a particularly challenging area of the law.
