        International organisations, non-state actors and the formation of customary international law

        by Sufyan Droubi, Jean D'Aspremont

        This collection of essays provides the most comprehensive study of the theory and practice on the contribution of international organisations and non-state actors to the formation of customary international law. It offers new perspectives on one of the most complex questions about the making of international law, namely the possibility that actors other than states contributes to the making of customary international law. Making extensively reference to the case-law of international law courts and tribunals as well as the practice of treaty-monitoring bodies while also engaging with the most recent scholarly work on customary international law, this new volume provides innovative tools and guidance to legal scholars, researcher in law, law students, lecturers in law, practitioners, legal advisers, judges, arbitrators, and counsels as well as tools to address contemporary questions of international law-making.

        The values of international organizations

        by James D. Fry, Bryane Michael, Natasha Pushkarna

        Since the mid-nineteenth century, international organisations have been seen to provide a formal channel of interstate cooperation, responsible for enshrining a series of common principles and values. Representing the largest statistical census of founding charters to date, this book puts these values to the test, assessing whether the principles of international organisations are as widely shared as has been previously believed. Using a database of nearly 200 treaties, the authors find a range of complex differences between the values upheld by international, regional, and peacekeeping organisations. A useful complement to any course on international organizations law, this book helps moderate the exaggerations often used by scholars in the field and provides a useful source of data for anyone studying this dynamic area of international law.

        The law of international organisations

        Third edition

        by Iain Scobbie, Jean D'Aspremont, Dominic McGoldrick, Nigel White

        This book provides a concise account of the principles and norms of international law applicable to the main-type of international organisation - the inter-governmental organisation (IGO). That law consists of principles and rules found in the founding documents of IGOs along with applicable principles and rules of international law. The book also identifies and analyses the law produced by IGOs, applied by them and, occasionally, enforced by them. There is a concentration upon the United Nations, as the paradigmatic IGO, not only upon the UN organisation headquartered in New York, but on other IGOs in the UN system (the specialised agencies such as the World Health Organisation).

        The British people and the League of Nations

        Democracy, citizenship and internationalism, c.1918–45

        by Helen McCarthy

        In the decades following Europe's first total war, millions of British men and women looked to the League of Nations as the symbol and guardian of a new world order based on international co-operation. Founded in 1919 to preserve peace between its member-states, the League inspired a rich, participatory culture of political protest, popular education and civic ritual which found expression through the establishment of voluntary societies in dozens of countries across Europe and beyond. Embodied in the hugely popular League of Nations Union, this pro-League movement touched Britain in profound ways. Foremost amongst the League societies, the Union became one of Britain's largest voluntary associations and a powerful advocate of democratic accountability and popular engagement in the making of foreign policy. Based on extensive archival research, The British people and the League of Nations offers a vivid account of this popular League consciousness and in so doing reveals the vibrant character of associational life between the wars.

        The values of international organizations

        by James D. Fry, Bryane Michael, Natasha Pushkarna

        From the United Nations to the International Bureau of Weights and Measures, the principles of international organizations affect all of our lives. The values held by these organizations represent, at least in part, the values by which we all live. This book quantifies international organizations' affiliation with particular principles in their constitutions, such as cooperation, peace, and equality. The authors offer a sophisticated statistical and legal analysis of these principles, revealing the values contained in international organizations' constitutions and their relationship with one another. When these organizations are categorized into groups, such as regional versus universal, many new, seemingly contradictory, interpretations of international organizations law emerge. Through elaborate network representations, radar charters, k-clusters analyses and scatter plots, this book offers an unprecedented insight into the principles and values of international organizations.
