VAN ALEBEEK, ROSANNE

The immunity of states and their officials in internationall criminal law and international human rights law/Rosanne Van Alebeek - New York : Oxford University Press, 2008

This book examines the tension between international immunity rules, international human rights law, and international criminal law. The progressive development of a normative system of international human rights law and international criminal law without the simultaneous development of international institutional enforcement mechanisms had brought the question of the role of national courts in the application of these norms to the fore and has made the question as to the relation between immunity rules and human rights and international criminal law an immediate one.

VEITCH, SCOTT

Jurisprudence: themes and concepts/Scott Veitch - New York : Cavendish Publishing Limited, 2007

Innovative in its approach to the study of jurisprudence, this book draws together a range of specialists, making original contributions, and provides a summary, analysis and critique of the basic themes in, and major contributions to, the study of jurisprudence. Taking an interdisciplinary angle, it explores the links between jurisprudence and contemporary issues in political and social theory, such as the changing role of the state, forms of dispute resolution and the courts as well as addressing topics that are usually left untouched, like globalization and legal culture. Avoiding the tendency to become overly inward-looking, it integrates jurisprudence more broadly into legal study.
