Human Rights and Dynamic Humanism
Authors: Winston P. Nagan, John A.C. Cartner and Robert J. Munro
This book emphasizes a forgotten aspect of human rights, i.e., to establish that human rights captures its meaning from human activism and advocacy. It explores factors which drive the advocacy of human rights integrating religious values reflected in human rights law. The book explores human rights activism in the history of ideas and the contributions of Celtic culture. It develops the framework for understanding the human rights struggle and the advocacy functions which drive it, exploring the critical role of emotion in the form of sentiment, either positive or negative, that promotes or prevents human rights violations. The negative sentiment chapter explores the major forms of human rights violations. Positive sentiment explores the role of affect, empathy and human solidarity in the promotion of the culture of human rights. Further chapters explore affect, gender, and sexual orientation, human rights and socio-economic justice, human rights and revolution, transitional justice, indigenous human rights, nuclear weapons and intellectual property.

La Vente internationale de Marchandises et le Conflit de Lois, Michel Pelichet
The principal subject of the course of Michel Pelichet, Deputy Secretary-General of the Hague Conference on private international law, is the study of the The Hague Convention of 1986, which is a revision of the one of 1955. Michel Pelichet devotes the first part of his course to examine the reasons which led the Hague Conference to create a revised version of the 1955 Convention. These reasons are conceptual and historical in nature and are indicative of the spirit which reigned at the end of the 1960s, particularly regarding the place occupied by private international law in the unification process of substantive law.
The second part of the course provides an analysis of the 1986 Convention and its relation to the Convention of Vienna of 1980.
« Good offices » in international relations in the light of Swiss Practice and Experience, Raymond R. Probst
Raymond Probst, former Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs in Bern, develops his course on good offices in international relations in the light of Swiss practice and experiences in nine chapters. The first chapter is devoted to the notion of "Good Offices". In the second chapter, the author studies the relation between neutrality and good offices. In the next chapter, he reviews in detail the Swiss experience in the field. In the next chapters, the author examines the Swiss arbitral activity on the basis of peace treaties, good offices of a political nature, the notion of protecting power, the mandate of protecting power and the new forms of general good offices.

Prosecuting International Crimes: A Multidisciplinary Approach
Series: Queen Mary Studies in International Law, Volume: 24
Editor: Bartłomiej Krzan
The volume edited by Bartłomiej Krzan offers different perspectives on the prosecution of international crimes. The analyses contained therein reflect different backgrounds, mainly legal, combining several disciplines, and making it a multidisciplinary study.
The main (but definitely not the exclusive) point of reference is that of international law. In addition, other perspectives, those of legal history or sociology of law and obviously the one of criminal law (both substantive and procedural) provide useful alternatives or in most occasions complementary approaches to the examination of the prosecution of international crimes.
The book combines different views, backgrounds and underlying assumptions. But gathered together they, it is to be hoped, shed some additional, useful light that might be helpful for identifying new dimensions of the reaction (judicial or other) towards international crimes.
Contributors: Władysław Czapliński, Patrycja Grzebyk, Witold Jakimko, Wojciech Jasiński, David Kohout, Karolina Kremens, Bartłomiej Krzan, Krzysztof Masło, Neringa Mickevičiūtė, Robert Uerpmann-Wittzack, Regina Valutyté, Karolina Wierczyńska, Joachim Wolf, Loammi Wolf, and Justinas Žilinskas.
