Public Interest Rules of International Law
This book seeks to clarify factors that play an important role in securing the effectiveness of legal regimes that aim at protecting public interests of the international community. In Part 1, the authors focus on theoretical problems arising in the implementation process of those legal regimes from both a constitutional and functional perspective. In Parts 2 through Part 4, they pay attention to practical issues in the implementation process of particular legal regimes, in light of what interpretation or measures are legitimate from the perspective of protecting public interests. This book incorporates an idea of public law into the theoretical framework of international law which has been mainly constructed on the theory of private law in domestic legal systems. In contrast to many books which focus on the role of the procedural and material factors in the implementation process of various institutions and rules, this book emphasises the role of normative factors in securing effectiveness of public interests-oriented rules and is a valuable resource for both academics and policy makers working in this area.
How to choose the right International Law School
International Law School
Students who are aiming to get into law careers by attending a distinguished law school may have more to think about when making a decision. The first choice they have to make is of course whether or not being a lawyer is the right career for them. Secondly, they have many fields of law to choose from that they can go into, such as criminal law, environmental law, business law, etc… And to think, even after making this choice, it still isn’t the last level to be pursued that law branches out into. The level we’re looking at today is International Law. From there, a student can choose international criminal law, international environmental law, international business law, etc… One would think that the tough choice is finally over, once they’ve decided all these things, however, the toughest choice of all lies ahead. Choosing the best international law school for you, is by far the biggest decision you’ll have to make on your journey to becoming an international lawyer.
Some would disagree and think that picking a law school is not that tough, and it’s as easy as looking up on the internet the most prominent one that is “known” as the best. Instead one should look at which international law school fits them the best, rather than trying to fit into the school. If you’re choices are open to any law school, then you have a lot of outlining and narrowing down to do. However, if you are bound to a certain area by work constraints or having to live at home, then you have less to work with. Once you have these things figured out, it is not only to create a listing of all the schools within your choices, but also to outline them. First off, you must look at which school is known to be an international law school. Different law schools specialize their programs around a certain field of law, even if they offer international law, they may be better suited for let’s say criminal law. This is why it is important to research and find out which school is specifically known to be an “international law school,” offering the best possible program for you. For example research shows that as of February 2010, the top 10 international law schools (placed first place to tenth) are as follows: New York University, Columbia University, Harvard University, Georgetown University, Cornell University, Duke University, the University of Michigan, the University of Texas, Yale University, and the University of Virginia. After considering the best international law schools, and finding which ones are in your range as far as distance (if considered) and cost (likewise), it’s time to outline each choice. When creating the outline, it’s just like outlining any tough decision, the two most important categories to make are pro’s and con’s. Things to look into would be the location according to your likes and dislikes. For example, if the school is located in a suburban area and you’d prefer a larger group of people and businesses, you may want to reconsider a school within or closer to a city. Also, you would look into the size of the student body and class size, some people prefer smaller teacher to student ratio to learn better, others see a larger ratio as a way to feel more comfortable in the classroom. These are all determining factors into simplifying your choices to an even smaller amount. When you have your international law school options down to 2-5 schools, there’s only one thing left to do, visit. Visiting a campus can show you first hand the environment you would be subject to, the people, and the faculty, this is as close as you would get to being a student at the school without actually enrolling.
Well as we can see, making a decision as to which international law school to attend may not be as easy as it seems. However, with the right tools and guidance provided here, perhaps it will give you a better understanding of how to go by the process. Hopefully the time you take to make your choice will diminish, and you will feel more at ease about making your choice, best of luck in your future.
The Search for the World’s best International Law Firms
International Law Firms
International law firms exist in abundance all over the world, with every single one of them claiming to be the top one or the best one. The claims, some false and some true, need to be verified so an accurate decision can be made, and the best international law firms can be known. The problem with attempting to find out which ones make the cut is the different methods of ranking.
Some web sites focus on ranking international law firms by their monetary ranking, given the revenue they brought in for a given year. Sure the amount of money they brought in from clients makes them reputable, but is that the main factor to consider. The international law firm that you want to represent you, your company, or whomever, should be one with a proven track record of wins. The firm should have a high ratio in wins to cases, so that you know their reputation of representation that precedes them is a strong one. Another way they are ranked is by pro bono participation, and average billable hours worked as well as diversity in demographics of their clients. Typing “best international law firm” or “top international law firm” into a highly used search engine will show you all the different results that you can get for each firm, and many different firms listed. Even so, the ranking tables provided can be misleading due to the data they use as the ranking, as discussed earlier. Even then, when data such as revenue is used as the primary ranking system, you must verify against other similar lists to make sure the information is accurate and correct. Most importantly, when checking for this type of information one must pay close attention to when it was last posted or updated. Looking at a list that tells you the top 10 international law firms could be posted 4-5 years ago, making it totally inaccurate and invalidated for this year. It is important to check all data versus dates, and numbers to make sure you can find some sort of correlation with at least one other reputable source.
As one can see, the search can be endless to finding the best or top international law firms. The best way to go by it is to use only reputable sources and see the firms that stand out the most, then research their history. It is wise to use common search engines at first, and then to navigate through official law sites such as widely known magazines or extensively used official forums in the matter. The key to finding an accurate listing is to use as many sources as possible and to find at least 2-3 sources that can back up the information you found making it reliable, so that your listing is accurate and just.
Conducting International Law in today’s world
International law
International law is a set of laws and regulations that are set for nations to be able to broadcast order to their citizens and citizens of other nations. In turn, the international laws will apply to helping nations themselves communicate their efforts with other nations as a whole. Some international laws differ drastically from other nations’ laws, therefore must be taken seriously by outside visitors to a nation prior to entering. For example, there are laws in certain nations of the Middle East and Europe that prevent citizens from performing certain activities in public, that are quite normal in the United States. The lack of knowledge in international laws can result in someone ending up in jail for acting on something they believed to be perfectly normal. However, let’s look at the bigger picture here, the way to maintain peace throughout with a general agreement on international laws. It seems almost impossible to have a group of nations accept certain international laws and abide by them as w hole without disapproval, or protest. This is why the United Nations was created. The United Nations (UN) was created in a 1945 post war era, to bring together the world as a whole and bring peace. By joining nations together and establishing a basis of international law, countries would interact with each other easier, and more peacefully. Together, nations would be able to address international problems together and solve them in an improved manner. The UN helps to bring the views and beliefs of nations into one mutual understanding, when each international law is created, passed, and enforced. An agreement made by nations under international law is known as a treaty. Treaties are brought forth by nations coming together to create a pact, or contract, setting a specific regulation or rule to govern or control the conduct of nations within that set agreement. If the rules are broken, or the agreement itself is broken, the nation can be held responsible under international law to face the circumstances following. In order to keep the system working properly and organized, a set standard was created for all treaties. The Vienna Convention On the Law of Treaties , after 20 years in the making, was put into effect in 1980 to do just that.
International laws primarily pertained to nations or states when first created and enforced, although that has evolved with time. These laws no longer affect the nations as they customarily once did., but also individuals. Progressively, there have been more and more cases in which individuals and certain international organizations have been addressed as the subject of international law. Aside from the basic concepts that are included in national law, such as property and status, international law also includes substantive law, process, remedies, and procedure. The most considerable fields of international law are diplomatic law, international human rights law, international environmental law, international humanitarian law, international security law, international economic law, and international criminal law. Each one of these fields has its own set of regulations within them so they specifically address the “branch” of international law they are applied to.
International Business Law as a career
Business Law
Learning about international business law is not just something for an attorney. When people hear the term used, they believe it’s something that strictly pertains to a lawyer or a court. But if we think of law in general, and take away the part of “breaking” it, then there is no need for the court. International business law is simply the set of regulations and policies that are followed when involved in foreign transactions. These transactions can relate to import/export, or even trade. Therefore, if you’re not an attorney, chances are you may find a career in International Business Law, something right for you. Some professionals that may be interested in this career include financial managers, economists, international business professionals, business administrators, managers of international corporations, and of course the obvious, attorneys.
The key to this career choice, or perhaps to continuing your education into this field, is to attain an understanding of foreign policy and the issues that could arise in international business transactions. International business law is a broad field, because once you gain a full understanding of the concept itself, then comes the part of focusing on your specific region. For example, if you’re working for an international business based in the U.S. and you’re dealing with business transactions with an affiliate in Tokyo, then you must learn all the international business laws that affect U.S. business and trade with Japan. Some companies may deal with more than one nation, so the information you can learn is practically endless. As overwhelming as it may seem, international business law can be very rewarding. The insight and knowledge that you obtain from learning it and dealing with it everyday, is something you don’t necessarily encounter in other every day positions. If you are in or seeking a position where you are dealing with foreign transactions and would like to be able to handle your company and yourself accordingly, then going for an international business law degree would be the way to go. However, not all people are presented the choice through this specific opportunity.
A student in law school can look at all the choices they have to branch off into, such as criminal law, business law etc… but then there is also the chance of going international, which turns into another thought process. The key to getting into the field of international business law is having the curiosity to seek more out of your law career. First and foremost you have to have the interest in business law to begin with, and then go from there. The question you must ask yourself is if you are willing to take the extra step and expand your mind to the world of international business law. Exposing yourself to dealing with something internationally is always opening a new door to possibilities. International business law are followed, broken, addressed, and imposed every single day. The people needed to educate company members of them, defend the ones who’ve broken them, and simply make people aware of them are needed likewise to maintain harmony throughout. If you’re seeking to broaden your career into a bigger field of law, and perhaps aim for a better salary while gaining knowledge, international business law may be the right choice for you.
Understanding International Human Rights Law
Human Rights Law
International human rights law organizes human rights in various international treaties. It pertains to the body of international laws which was specifically created to protect human rights an the international level. These international human rights laws can be administered at a regional, international, or domestic level. The United Nations General Assembly, in 1948, put into effect the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). This document became the standard for international human rights laws, and has protected them since then. In addition to the UDHR, international treaties and agreements since it was endorsed have helped to further develop the body of international human rights law. This document along with the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights that were later passed, come together to form what has come to be known as the “International Bill of Human Rights.” Some other significant international treaties that were adopted universally are Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, Convention on the Rights of the Child, and Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman, or Degrading Treatment or Punishment. These treaties, along with the covenants, and their content must be enforced at all times to maintain order under international human rights law, therefore they need to be observed by another party. The enforcement of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights itself is overseen by the United Nations Human Rights Committee. The states that adopt these treaties are generally agreeing to not only make sure these treaties are enforced, but also to prevent from impeding with the exercise and enjoyment of the rights, but also to improve the enjoyment of them, and also to replace the enjoyment if it has been taken away. In addition, the States must protect groups and individuals against abuses of human rights. International human rights law bestows all these obligations upon a State that it must respect, abide by, and protect.
Along with treaties, there are also “human rights instruments” that were adopted, also to better the enjoyment of human rights. Some of these instruments that further enhance international human rights law throughout are Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women ,United Nations Convention Against Torture, Convention on the Rights of the Child, International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of their Families, and the most recent, Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
Although there is at the time no international court to execute international human rights laws, they are cautiously monitored and protected everyday. Committees and individuals look into the improvement of laws for their States and for their own citizens, in order to better protect them from having their human rights interfered with. In basic essence, international human rights law exists to better the quality of life of individuals within a State and within other States, and allowing them to enjoy and express them freely.
