The Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court defines more than ninety crimes that fall within the Court's jurisdiction: genocide, other crimes against humanity, war crimes and aggression.

Formalisation and Flexibilisation in Dispute Resolution
ISBN: 9789004281165 / Angielski / Twarda / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Formal law versus informal justice - these are two frequently invoked labels to highlight the distinction between court-based and "alternative" dispute resolution (ADR). Indeed, it appears to be all but a truism to assume that ADR has developed as a more flexible and creative alternative to rigid and formalised judicial proceedings. In Formalisation and Flexibilisation in Dispute Resolution scholars from four continents examine both historical and recent developments that cast doubt on the validity of these widespread assumptions. They not only explore trends towards an increased...

ISBN: 9780739197837 / Angielski / Twarda / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In 2005, the Supreme Court ruled in Kelo v.

This book is unique because it offers an in-depth analysis of the case law found in...

The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has become famed - and often shamed - for its political power.
