Ce cours apporte la cohérence au pluralisme des méthodes, dans une perspective qui tient compte des intérêts de la société. Les règles de conflit de lois sont présentées dans une nouvelle structure, exhaustive, permettant de définir la place des règles unilatérales et bilatérales et des lois de police et d’y intégrer le droit de l’Union européenne. On distinguera ainsi entre les règles attributives, matérielles et réceptives de conflit de lois. Le lecteur emportera le message que les « mécanismes », la « proximité », l’« harmonie des solutions », la « coopération » et tant d’autres « techniques » en droit international privé doivent être remplies d’une idée de justice sans laquelle elles n’ont pas de mérite. Cette justice met en valeur l’identité et la protection de la personne à travers les ordres juridiques. Le regard sur cette idée sera le meilleur guide dans l’étude des règles et des méthodes du droit international privé.

European private international law is by now based mainly on a large body of uniform rules such as the Regulations Rome I, Rome II, Brussels I, Brussels I bis. This significant legislative output, however, does not take place in a vacuum. Rules of private international law have been earlier (and still are) adopted at national, international and even European level in scattered regulations and directives. The recent plethora of private international law rules gives rise to issues of delineation and calls for some sort of ordering as gaps, overlaps and contradictions become flagrant. At the same time, the resulting interactions can offer new insight, ideas and even opportunities at a more theoretical level. This book gathers a collection of essays resulting out of a series of international seminars held in Lyon, Barcelona and Louvain-la-Neuve. During those seminars, young researchers selected in an open call for papers had the opportunity to discuss their views among themselves as well as with various specialists of the field, such as more senior academics, EU civil servants, national experts and representatives of other international organisations. The book offers the fresh views of those who will in the future shape the dialectic between the various sources of private international law and attempts to launch a discussion on the “living together” of legal sources. Two ranges of topics are addressed in the book: - firstly, the relationship between EU private international law and national law (substantial and procedural) and/or international law (international instruments of private international law or of uniform substantive law); and - secondly, the relationship between EU private international law and other aspects of EU law (internal market rules of primary law, harmonisation through secondary law and other pieces of legislation enacted in the realm of the area of freedom, security and justice).

Genre: Administrative law
ISBN: 1788119231

Providing a unique and clearly structured tool, this book presents an authoritative collection of carefully selected global case studies. Some of these are considered global due to their internationally relevant subject matter, whilst others demonstrate the blurring of traditional legal categories in an age of accelerated cross-border movement. The study of the selected cases in their political, cultural, social and economic contexts sheds light on the contemporary transformation of law through its encounter with conflicting forms of normativity and the multiplication of potential fora.

Le droit international privé poursuit deux objectifs généraux : l'un tourné vers l'ordre international en développant sa cohérence et sa fluidité malgré le phénomène de la frontière ; l'autre orienté vers l'ordre interne en assurant sa cohésion et la défense de ses valeurs essentielles. Celles-ci se nourrissent naturellement des droits garantis par la CEDH créant ainsi un risque de déséquilibre de la discipline, l'une seulement de ses finalités bénéficiant d'un renforcement. Pourtant, la discontinuité des ordres juridiques n'est pas à craindre. La CEDH exerce une influence qui dépasse la seule protection du for requis. Elle contribue à l'affermissement de l'ordre international. Elle réduit les hypothèses de lacunes et de cumuls en prohibant le déni de justice et en participant à la détermination du juge internationalement compétent. De plus, elle fournit une béquille aux situations boiteuses puisque le défaut de reconnaissance des situations cristallisées à l'étranger constitue une ingérence dans les droits qu'elle énonce. Dès lors, la tension entre les finalités internes et internationales ne saurait se résoudre systématiquement au profit des premières. La hiérarchie cède sa place à la conciliation. Or, cette dernière s'opère eu égard aux spécificités de la matière. En ce sens, l'objectif de protection diffuse une version aménagée du standard conventionnel, conçue différemment selon que la norme étrangère provient d'un autre Etat partie ou d'un Etat tiers. Promotion des finalités internationales et mise en œuvre compréhensive des finalités internes, telles sont les deux pôles autour desquels s'articule une rencontre féconde entre le droit international privé et la CEDH.

"'Gender Matters' is a manual aimed to assist educators and youth leaders work on issues of gender and gender-based violence with young people. This publication presents theoretical information, methods and resources for education and training activities, along with concrete exercises that users can put into practice in their daily work. Violence is a serious issue which directly affects the lives of many young people. It often results in lasting damage to their well-being and integrity, putting even their lives at risk. Gender-based violence, including violence against women, remains a key human rights challenge in contemporary Europe and in the world. Working with young people on human rights education is one way of preventing gender-based violence from occurring. By raising awareness on why and how it manifests and exploring its impact on people and in society, gender-based violence will no longer go undetected. Gender really does matter, to women, to men, to young people - to all of us. This manual serves to explore these human rights issues and act upon them."--Book jacket.

International law has long differentiated between international and non-international armed conflicts, traditionally regulating the former far more comprehensively than the latter. This is particularly stark in the case of detention, where the law of non-international armed conflict contains no rules on who may be detained, what processes must be provided to review their detention, and when they must be released. Given that non-international armed conflicts are now the most common form of conflict, this is especially worrying, and the consequences of this have been seen in the detention practices of states such as the US and UK in Iraq and Afghanistan. This book provides a comprehensive examination of the procedural rules that apply to detention in non-international armed conflict, with the focus on preventive security detention, or 'internment'. All relevant areas of international law, most notably international humanitarian law and international human rights law, are analysed in detail and the interaction between them explored. The book gives an original account of the relationship between the relevant rules of IHL and IHRL, which is firmly grounded in general international law scholarship, treating the issue as a matter of treaty interpretation. With that in mind, and with reference to State practice in specific non-international armed conflicts - including those in Sri Lanka, Colombia, Nepal, Afghanistan, and Iraq - it is demonstrated that the customary and treaty obligations of States under human rights law continue, absent derogation, to apply to detention in non-international armed conflicts. The practical operation of those rules is then explored in detail. The volume ends with a set of concrete proposals for developing the law in this area, in a manner that builds upon, rather than replaces, the existing obligations of States and non-State armed groups.
