This volume considers the most recent demands for justice within the inteational system, examining how such aspirations often confl ict with norms of state sovereignty and non-intervention.
From an interdisciplinary approach that combines issues of inteational relations with inteational law, this book addresses issues neglected in both disciplines conceing the establishment of a more just inteational order and its political implications. Through detailed examples drawn from key developments in inteational law, the author explores how new norms develop within inteational
society, and how these norms generate both resistance and compliance from state actors.
Order and justice in inteational relations – a theoretical and analytical framework
The emergence of human rights and the limits of their enforcement
The Pinochet decisions in the House of Lords
The Inteational Arrest Warrant case – the Congo v. Belgium
The creation of the ad hoc Inteational War Crimes Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia
Judicial intervention coming of age? The Inteational Criminal Court and US opposition
Conclusion – a more ‘just’ order?
