Rethinking International Law and Justice cover

General principles of law have made, and are likely further to make, a significant contribution to our understanding of the constituent elements of global justice. Dealing extensively with global headline issues of peace, security and justice, this book explores justice arising in specific areas of international law, as well as underlying theories of justice from political science and international relations. With contributions from leading academics and practitioners, the book adopts an interdisciplinary approach. Covering issues such as international humanitarian law, and examining the significance of non-state actors for the development of international law, the collection concludes with the complex question of how best to rethink aspects of international justice. The lessons derived from this research will have wide implications for both developed and emerging nation-states in rethinking sensitive issues of international law and justice. As such, this book will be of interest to academics and practitioners interested in international law, environmental law, human rights, ethics, international relations and political theory.

’Rethinking International Law and Justice provides fresh perspectives and insights about key global problems. It reconsiders the link between International Law and justice, incorporating broader concepts such as human security and responsibility to protect with more traditional approaches. It challenges us to think more broadly and deeply about the fundamentally ethical issues which beset the globe.’ Susan Kneebone, Monash University, Australia 'A formidable collection of scholarly and philosophical essays concerning international law viewed from the perspective of both formal and substantive justice. In depth studies of specific areas of international law bring to the fore the developing focus on individual rights and global justice emerging with international law and politics.' Tom Campbell, Charles Sturt University, Australia
