Ukraine and the legal accountability of Russia ::the emergence of a new global order /
No full text"This book explains how the response to Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine has transformed international law. It analyzes the significance of the resurrection of the UN General Assembly's Uniting for Peace mechanism, the insertion of the International Criminal Court into world politics at the highest level, and the creation of new types of investigatory mechanisms and tribunals. It explores ground breaking developments related to war reparations, the crime of aggression and attacks on the environment. And it makes the case that, rather than personifying the failure of international law, the Russia-Ukraine war has demonstrated its continuing relevance and resilience in surprising ways. This work will be compelling reading for academics, researchers and policy-makers working in the areas of International Criminal Law, International Humanitarian Law and the Law of Armed Conflict"-
TEACHING AND LEARNING CLIMATE AND ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE IN LAW SCHOOLS
No full textArguing for the critical importance of the topic within law school curricula (whether for academic credit purposes or not), this novel and exceptionally timely book explores a fundamental question: should law schools teach about climate and environmental justice?Despite the urgency of climate and environmental protection issues, many law schools present the topic as optional for students or don't engage at all. Arguing for the inclusion of climate and environmental justice at the earliest possible opportunity, this book presents study models in a variety of contexts and jurisdictions to support research into curriculum development and design. Case study examples of planned climate and environmental justice research and offerings at national and international levels are presented to support those who wish to include and/or expand provisions. This book also addresses concerns and initiatives of indigenous peoples, demonstrating how partnerships between law schools and others remain integral to establishing sustainable learning initiatives.Ultimately promoting and supporting the study of climate and environmental justice in a legal and applied context, this book will be of interest to scholars, researchers and academics involved with sustainability education, training and leadership, legal education and curriculum design. Clinical legal educators may also find the volume of interest
ETHICAL AND LEGAL IMPLICATIONS OF COMMERCIAL SURROGACY FOR HEALTHCARE ::a global perspective.
No full textIn this groundbreaking work, the authors explore the intricate interplay between commercial surrogacy and the global healthcare system, challenging conventional views with fresh insights into ethical, legal, and medical dimensions.Delving into a rapidly evolving landscape, the book reveals how commercial surrogacy transcends economic transactions to question the very core of healthcare ethics. It scrutinises international legal frameworks and exposes the delicate balance between a surrogate's autonomy and the financial pressures that can undermine it. At the heart of the discussion is the pivotal role of healthcare providers, who navigate complex ethical dilemmas while upholding the rights and well-being of surrogates, intended parents, and children. Through incisive analysis and compelling case studies, this book argues for the urgent need for robust safeguards, comprehensive guidelines, and specialised training to equip professionals for the challenges of modern surrogacy practices.This engaging narrative not only maps the evolving dynamics of commercial surrogacy but also calls for a sustainable, ethical future where healthcare remains a cornerstone of the surrogacy journey. Essential reading for researchers, advanced students, healthcare professionals, and policymakers alike, this book offers a holistic and provocative examination of an issue at the crossroads of ethics, law, and medicine

CMR, contracts for the international carriage of goods by road /
No full text"Now in its fifth edition, this hallmark text provides a comprehensive, article-by-article guide to the workings of the CMR Convention, as incorporated into English Law by the Carriage of Goods by Road Act 1965. Fully revised throughout, the book offers a complete update of relevant English cases and draws in major developments in the interpretation of the Convention in the case law of other Contracting States. Furthermore, this new edition incorporates two key developments to ensure the book's continuing currency and authority. Firstly, it reviews the operation of the current law following the UK's ratification of the Additional Protocol to the Convention on the Contract for the International Carriage of Goods by Road (CMR) 2008, which provides for the recognition and use of electronic consignment notes, ie e-CMR. Secondly, it addresses the changes consequent on Brexit which affect aspects of the general legal context and whose relationship with the rules of CMR require re-examination, principally in respect of the law governing issues of choice of law, jurisdiction and enforcement of court judgments. Clearly and accessibly written, Messent and Glass continue to offer a level of expert detail and referencing that cannot be found elsewhere. The book is an invaluable reference tool that can be used by the busy legal practitioner, and by other road haulage industry professionals, in any contracting state, to solve the issues that confront them in daily practice. It is also an indispensable guide for academics and students of the international carriage of goods by road"-

Christianity and the making of Irish law ::violence, virtue, and reason /
No full text"For almost two millennia, the island of Ireland has continued to have an impact on European and English-speaking Christianity and culture out of all proportion to its size and position. This volume looks at key Irish figures, beyond lawyers and judges, whose ideas have impacted on the way law is conceived, conceptualised, and practised. The work consists of four Parts, each corresponding to a distinct historical phase. During the Early Mediaeval Period, Christian influence was both visible in Ireland's brehon legal system and in the treatises which Irish monks wrote on subjects such as the law of war and how to rule as a Christian prince. In the post-mediaeval period, the Protestant Ascendancy required defenders of the new settlement, whose ideas would have ramifications for the colonisation of the New World. We also find Ire-land producing thinkers of international stature such as Archbishop James Ussher, Bishop George Berkeley and Edmund Burke, who set a trend of Irish influence throughout the Eng-lish-speaking world. The struggle for independence in the nineteenth and early twentieth centu-ry produced the towering figures of Daniel O'Connell, Edward Carson and Eamon de Valera as well as Patrick Pearse, the lodestar of the Easter Rising in 1916. In the twentieth century, great Irishmen and women who influenced English-speaking culture include C.S. Lewis, James Joyce, Richard O'Sullivan KC and Herbert McCabe. They show the enduring importance of a commitment to reason and a desire for virtue against the backdrop of the conflicts, both domes-tic and international, which impacted Ireland. With contributions drawn from Irish, British, and North American scholars and lawyers, the diversity of international and methodological per-spectives is a key strength of the volume"-- Provided by publisher
The social family ::sociality and the ethics of supporting families /
No full textThis book argues for an inclusive definition of the family that recognizes diverse caregiving relationships and outlines distinct familial and governmental obligations based on a taxonomy of needs. In doing so, it de-emphasizes marriage, biological ties, or shared values as the basis for familial relationship in social and legal contexts.Author Laura Kane reconceives the family as a unique social group centered on providing intimate care for the mutual flourishing of all its members, regardless of gendered or intergenerational roles or relations. Adopting a care ethics framework, Kane argues that interdependent, intimate caregiving relationships are fundamental to human experience-without such relationships, many of us would encounter difficulties meeting our needs. This account therefore prioritizes families as the starting place for thinking through moral and political obligations, and advocates for state policies that support family caregiving relationships by granting rights, privileges, and protections to groups engaged in intimate, interdependent care.An important contribution to the philosophy of family structures and their role in society, The Social Family offers a clear and accessible account of its subject for researchers and students in philosophy, sociology, political theory, social work, family therapy, and those engaged in public policy.Key Features: Provides a clear definition of the family to ground family policy debates. Situates the family as a unique kind of social group through its purpose and commitment structure, contributing to debates in social ontology. Provides an account of the moral and social obligations of states to support families. Provides a more inclusive account of the family that disentangles marriage and procreation from family identity, reducing gendered role expectations within families
