Publishers Information

Note: "Bullet" entries indicate those books which publishers forwarded to the Editor, or otherwise came to his attention, which were not fully reviewed but merited special mention. In a number of instances, books like these have been recently reviewed in this Newsletter.

Criminal Law/Extradition:

  • M. Bassiouni, International Criminal Law, Volume II: Procedural and Enforcement Mechanisms (2nd ed. Transnational, 1998) [812] ISBN 1-57105-018-3

This is the second of a three volume set. (Vol. I = Crimes; Vol. III = Enforcement.) It is an excellent resources for teachers in search of an International Criminal Law textbook/hornbook, as well as other authors and researchers in need of very readable and authoritative insight in this somewhat neglected academic field.

The organization of the individually-authored chapters is as follows. Section I: Modalities (policy considerations); Section II: Jurisdiction-including immunities/exceptions, US and European perspectives; Section III: Extradition-European and US; Section IV: Judicial Assistance (Penal and evidentiary matters); Section V: Transfer of Prisoners (international, US, and European); Section VI: Recognition of Foreign Penal Judgments (Europe); Section VII: Transfer of Criminal Proceedings (Europe); Section VIII: Assets Freeze and Seizure (money laundering); Section IX: International and Regional Developments in the Field of Inter-State Co-operation (Council of Europe & UN).

A number of useful appendixes support the key developments described in each section. This feature provides the most convenient access to the content of International Criminal Law which is available between two covers.

  • M. Bassiouni & E. Vetere (ed.), Organized Crime: A Compilation of U.N. Documents 1975-1998 (Transnational, 1998) [814] ISBN 1-57105-084-1

The editors have done a marvelous job of collating the essential documents in an area which has not heretofore received the attention it serves. (Maybe that void is a tribute to those responsible for organized crime!) There are seventy such documents, beginning with the landmark 1975 UN Congress on the Prevention of Crime and the Treatment of Offenders-up to the 1998 ECOSOC Report by the Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice.

With the advent of the UN Bribery Convention, and similar regional instruments in the last several years, every library should contain the key documents now available in this single-volume collection. The relevant UN documents have thus been further disseminated in a way which makes a significant contribution to understanding the characteristics of organized crime, which knows no borders.

  • M. Bassiouni, The Statute of the International Criminal Court: A Documentary History (Transnational, 1998) [793] ISBN 1-57105-095-7

The publication of this book is a high point in the author's illustrious career, one dedicated to influencing States to agree to the creation of a permanent International Criminal Court. The signing of the "Rome Statute" in 1998 was a major step in the contemporary evolution of the work of the Nuremberg (and Tokyo) Tribunal. This book, then, could be characterized as the beacon for a new phase. The community of nations finally shelved the inability to at least produce an acceptable draft treaty, marked by their general agreement to a draft statute governing the criminal prosecution of individuals for violations of International Law-on a permanent, not ad hoc, basis. No library or private international legal collection would be complete without this handy contribution containing various national perspectives on this critical phase of the Court.

The UN Secretary General's Preface lauds the publication of this book, because of the promise it implies for a more unified approach to the judicial control of violations of internationally protected human rights-complete with pictures of the sessions of the diplomatic conference and key participants. The central elements of this book include the author's informative Historical Survey 1919-1998; key UN Documents (the bulk of the book) including the major preparatory reports between 1994 to 1998, and the earlier draft statute.

  • G. Gilbert, Transnational Fugitive Offenders in International Law: Extradition and Other Mechanisms (Martinus Nijhoff, 1998) [486] ISBN 90-4111040-2

There has been a proliferation of international agreements and case law on extradition, as well as alternative means to securing the presence of defendants from other jurisdictions. Criminal activity knows no borders, and co-operation is an essential ingredient in apprehending those accused of crimes which often touch and concern more than just one nation.

The various national legal systems have generated different approaches to this problem. The author explores the resulting avenues for effecting rendition. Anyone whose study or work involves fugitives should find this work to be a rather useful overview. It assembles key English and European cases, as well as international judicial resources, to provide a handy primer for one seeking guidance on this very sensitive subject in international relations.

Diplomatic Immunity:

  • L. Frey & M. Frey, The History of Diplomatic Immunity (Ohio State Univ. Press, 1999) [727] ISBN 0-81-142-0740-5

This is a welcome addition to the literature about a particularly troublesome feature of international relations. The authors trace the history of the concept, so that the reader may better appreciate a much misunderstood institution.

The authors present a refreshing array of cultural and geographical perspectives-written and organized in a way which provides a fascinating contextual treatment, rather than the sometimes bland approach by some writers in this field who limit their analysis to a terse presentation of the contemporary Vienna Conventions.

One may also extract the legislation, case law, and articulated governmental positions from a host of nations. This comparative perspective facilitates an understanding of the rationales behind immunity, reaction to abuses, and how the expansion of the international community has impacted the relevant State practice.

Dispute Resolution:

Arbitration--

  • Secretary-General, Permanent Court of Arbitration Basic Documents: Conventions, Rules, Model Clauses and Guidelines (PCOA, 1998) [paper: 274] ISBN: none given [bullet entry]
  • H. Smit & V. Pechota, Smit's Guides to international arbitration: A Chart Comparing International Commercial Arbitration Rules (Juris Publishing, 1998) [160] ISBN 1-57823-014-4

This is the latest volume in Professor Smit's practical and enduring arbitration guidebooks. The procedural and substantive features of international arbitration are thus nicely collated in a manner designed to provide a succinct by authoritative overview.

The uniqueness of this book is its multi-columned, portrait-page comparison of the main features of practice before the respective arbitral bodies. It provides a quickly accessible comparison of the international commercial arbitration rules of the following seven entities: the International Chamber of Commerce, American Arbitration Association, London Court of International Arbitration, International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes, World Intellectual Property Organization, UN Commission on International Trade, and the Center for Public Resources.

Each page charts the parallel provisions of these organizations in the following areas: arbitration clause; commencement of arbitration; general conditions; constitution of the arbitral tribunal; preliminary issues; the actual arbitral proceedings (transmission of file to arbitrators, statement of claim, time limits, evidence, etc.); and the arbitral decision/award.


Litigation

  • J. Jones, the Practice of the International Criminal Tribunals for the Former Yugoslavia and Rwanda (Transnational, 1998) [paper: 353] ISBN 1-57105-079-5

While there have been books about the evolution of the respective tribunals, this one focuses on the actual practice of both. It provides an authoritative analysis of the case law by reference to the applicable Statute and its rules of evidence and procedure. The author comments on the integration of these elements in a way which provides quick access to the letter and spirit of the judicial decision. This book would be a centerpiece in any collection focusing on a host of related subjects including international human rights, international criminal courts, and dispute resolution-to name a few.

  • R. Kreindler, Transnational Litigation: A Basic Primer (Oceana, 1997) [623] ISBN 0-379-21394-X

This work is a welcome contribution to the practical literature about litigating international disputes in national courts. It focuses on the procedural rules of key trading nations, and the important tactical choices which are the common traps for the unwary. The author is a practicing lawyer who was educated in the US, admitted in France, has resided for some time in Germany, and once co-ordinated the Europe/Middle East Dispute Resolution Practice Group for a major US law firm. His work thus integrates the elements of common law, civil law, and other legal traditions in twenty countries.

A snapshot of this publication's chapters (abbreviated titles used in this review) illustrates its rich content: Structure of the Courts (Chap. 2); Obtaining Jurisdiction and Choice of Forum (Chap. 3); Service of Process (Chaps. 5 & 6); Commencement of Suit (Chap.7); Summary Judgments and Equivalent Proceedings (Chap. 8); Taking of Witness Evidence (Chaps. 10-13); Admissibility and Presentation of Evidence (Chap 14); Appeal (Chap. 15); Damages (Chap. 16); Sovereign Immunity (Chap. 19); and Costs and Fees (Chap. 20).

The book does not stop there. There is a very useful array of appendixes which include relevant regional and international conventions. Overall, this is a unique opportunity for practitioners, academics, and researchers to obtain a virtual life time of experience between two covers.

Electronic Privacy:

  • M. Rotenberg, The Privacy Law Sourcebook: United States Law, International Law, and Recent Developments (Elec. Priv. Info Center, 1998) [paper:439] ISBN 1-893044-00-9

This is a handy compilation of privacy law instruments and a "must" for anyone seeking guidance about the location and content of the key statutes, treaties, and recent developments. The author has assembled a very practical collection of original materials which cover the laws of the United States, privacy expressions contained in various international treaties, and recent developments of interest to those in search of the essential documents.

The initial Part covers a host of US privacy laws, from 1970 (Fair Credit Reporting Act) to the present. The next part contains the major treaty provisions such as the OECD Privacy Guidelines and the 1997 European Privacy Directive. The final major segment of the book provides recent developments including national and international privacy directives. The final part contains what appears to be a full panoply of resources from other books, law review symposia, and the Internet.

Environment:

  • T. Homer-Dixon & J. Blitt (ed.), Ecoviolence: Links Among Environment, Population, and Security (Rowman & Littlefield, 1998) [paper: 238] ISBN 0-8476-8870-4

This work analyzes key developments in three fields not routinely intertwined by the academic literature. It establishes, disturbingly, the tie between limited environmental resources and violent behavior in developing countries. The scarcity of resources like cropland, fresh water, and forests has fomented ethnic clashes in many lesser developed countries. The author assesses why it will only get worse.

Case studies include Chiapas. Mexico, Gaza, South Africa, Pakistan, and Rwanda. Given the projected world population of eight billion in 2025, the global erosion of farmland soil, river pollution, forest degradation-with ninety percent of population growth expected in developing nations-it is not hard to predict that resource control by the elite will contribute to the pressure to respond in violent ways.

This is a fascinating and well-written analysis which is "must" reading for any course or other serious analysis of the interplay between the environment and popular uprisings in response to its continuing degradation.

Human Rights:

  • D. Robertson, A Dictionary of Human Rights (Europa, 1997) [301] ISBN 1 85743 023 9

This reference work is a rather unique contribution to the exponentially expanding mass of human rights literature. It contains some 200 succinct essays on essential human rights themes. It also identifies and defines the key human rights organizations, providing useful historical details about each. Its organization is a veritable researcher's dream because of the author's intelligent alphabetical entries, cross-referenced in a practical manner. Any human rights collection would be far more complete with the addition of this reference title.

  • R. Steinhardt & A. D'Amato (ed.), The Alien Tort Claims Act: An Analytical Anthology (Transnational, 1999) [445] ISBN 1-57105-071-X

This is a collection of a dozen individually authored chapters on the application of the Alien Tort Claims Act. After the lead author's introduction on the internationalization of domestic law (Part I), the anthology presents a number of reprinted articles-all of which assess the judicial application of the Act in US courts (Part II). It includes a detailed, annotated bibliography to access related resources. The book's essential contribution is to collate the key articles in the field between two covers. That makes this book a handy reference tool for quickly accessing the heart of the law review literature on the application of the Act.

Int'l Org (EU/NATO/OSCE):

  • M Bothe, N. Ronzitti & A. Rosas (ed.), The OSCE in the Maintenance of Peace and Security: Conflict Prevention, Crisis Management and Peaceful Settlement of Disputes (Kluwer, 1997) 557] ISBN 90-411-0446-1

The emergence of the Organization for Cooperation and Security in Europe (OSCE) has now been accompanied by the emergence of an authoritative guide to virtually every legal feature of the organization. The twenty-one individually authored chapters provide invaluable insight into an organization which may one day be the cog in the wheel of European order.

Here, one finds reliable insights about the organization's evolution, dispute settlement procedures, long-term missions, peace keeping, all in the context of the OSCE's role in the peaceful settlement of disputes. The book hosts a number of useful tables which allow the reader to quickly gain access to chapter content.

This well written and smoothly edited work would be an excellent addition to any law library collection on the past, present, and future of European conflict prevention and management.

  • M. Koskenniemi (ed.), International Law Aspects of the European Union (Martinus Nijhoff, 1998) [324] ISBN 90-411-0488-7

This collection consists of eighteen individually authored chapters focusing on security and external relations in Europe. Part I analyzes a host of core problems involving common security policy. Each chapter covers a specific feature of International Law as it applies to the organizational context within the EU. Part II next addresses the legal framework for the community's external relations. These analyses are an invaluable resource for assessing the institutional features which impact the European Union's legal and political structure. This book quenches the thirst for material about the integration of national and international legal relationships in and outside of the EU.

  • D. Yost, Nato Transformed: The Alliance's New Roles in International Security (US Inst. Peace, 1998) [paper: 450] ISBN 1-878379-81-X

The author's assessment in this 1998 publication was quite perceptive and timely-given that NATO would become heavily engaged in an air bombing campaign against a European nation in the following Spring. This alliance is thus exercising its historically dormant potential for managing broad collective security issues. This book is a fast-hitting and thoughtful assessment of NATO's evolving role in regional security matters.

It's organization is superb. Its five chaptered components begin with an insightful introduction regarding the evolution of the organization. The author then addresses the salient features of NATO during the Cold War, crisis management , and peacekeeping operations. The useful appendixes contain the basic treaty, Partnership for Peace supplement, the 1997 agreements between NATO and the Russian Federation and the Ukraine.

Laws of War:

  • L. Green, Essays on the Modern Law of War (2nd ed. Transnational, 1998) [604] ISBN 1-57105-069-8

The author has written numerous essays on the laws of war which are now assembled in one book. This fresh edition includes a many of them, which are now more readily available than before (in the law review literature). He has retained the key pieces from his first edition, including updating them where necessary.

The sixteen chapters begin with a helpful overview of the raison d'etre for a law of war and Cicero's observations from antiquity. The remaining chapters delve into modern applications, including self-defense, nuclear weapons, superior orders, war crimes, human rights, and the status of mercenaries.

This book is highly recommended for incorporation into any collection which focuses, or maintains any content, on the laws of war. It is wonderfully written, simplifies even the most complex formulations, and is chock full of additional resources for the avid researcher.

  • M. Osiel, Atrocity, Military Discipline & the Law of War (Transaction, 1999) [398] ISBN 1-56000-407-X

This is a fresh look at a problem which has been the subject of numerous academic and judicial analyses. Can a court convincingly convict a perpetrator when he/she is given orders by a superior with "winks and nods,through hints and insinuations?" Contemporary denials of the superior orders defense do not necessarily accommodate the application of an obedience regime which was designed for the Roman legionnaire. Modern warfare is not quite the same as when it was waged in earlier eras. This analysis is a remarkable contribution to the literature on the clash between the roots and restraints on mass atrocities in modern conflicts!

The author illustrates how the sources of modern breaches of the laws of war are different than the current legal regime presumes. That presumption supposedly favors obedience in cases of doubt. Yet, patent illegality is also presumed, whereby an inferior is expected to recognize and thus disobey a superior's patently illegal order. What appears to be a flagrant violation of the laws of war, to a court, may not be as clear to the individual who must choose between immediate obedience and a subsequent conviction.

Legal Education:

  • AALS, 1999 Directory of Graduate Programs for Foreign Lawyers: Masters and Doctoral Programs in U.S. Law Schools (American Univ., 1999) [Paper: 122]

This booklet is a periodic product of the AALS Section on Graduate Programs for Foreign Lawyers. Its annotated entries provide all of the salient details regarding each school's program: contact person information, admission requirements, program requirements, required courses, curriculum, specialties, and faculty/staff information. This publication is a "must" for those universities either offering, or counseling about, graduate programs for foreign lawyers in the US.

Legal Research:

  • GW, Guide to International Legal Research (3rd ed. LEXIS, 1998) [paper: 784] ISBN 0-327-00235-2

The G.W. Journal of International Law and Economics has consistently produced a valuable research resource tool in this guide. The 3rd ed. is no exception. It builds upon the excellent base developed in prior editions and is thus a publication that has evolved during many years of production.

The Guide is organized as follows: Part I lists Primary Sources, Secondary Sources, and Research Tools. It exhaustively covers these sources in the bulk of the book (561 pages). Part II lists research tools by geographical region, including international organizational references (through page 733). This handy resource then lists content by an Author Index and a Subject Index.

The G.W. Guide is an indispensable tool for international lawyers, libraries, and anyone in need of a reliable listing of the universe and universal international research resources.

Mexican Law (national):

  • J. Vargas (ed.), Mexican Law: A Treatise for Legal Practitioners and International Investors (West Group, 1998) [two volumes] ISBN none given

Prof. Vargas's treatise for lawyers (law students and libraries) fills a major void in English materials on the laws of Mexico. This two volume work is divided into twenty-eight major chapters, many of which are individually authored by the experts in the field. It is especially geared to the investment and business laws of Mexico.

The first part of the book provides Mexican perspectives about Mexican law (and some references to commercial ties with the US). The second part introduces the mechanics of Mexican law, including analyses of the Mexican Constitution. The third part-the bulk of the book for business law practitioners-covers foreign investment, corporations, contracts, labor law, immigration, gas and other government regulations. There are also chapters on Mexican environmental law, franchise law, bankruptcy, tax, and many other common features of both business and general law.

One could also use this book as the basis for a course in Mexican Law at an American university. Thus, in combination with another West Group product, Mexican Civil and Commercial Codes, there is no longer a basis for not offering such a course in schools in one of the many states on the border, because of the lack of useful materials.

Russian Law (int'l practice):

  • G. Ginsburgs, From Soviet to Russian International Law: Studies in Continuity and Change (Martinus Nijhoff, 1998) [420] ISBN 90-411-0543-3

The author covers four basic themes in this analysis of Russia's contemporary bid to "shed the corset of Communist ideology": I The Relationship between International and Domestic Law; II Citizenship and State Succession-Who Is and Ought to be a Citizen of the Russian Federation; III The Sino-Russian Boundary Problem; and Part IV Cooperation with China in Policing Crime.

The selected topics offer the opportunity for the reader to identify and assess the apparently major shifts in Russian International Law policy in this last decade of the Twentieth Century. The test cases selected by the author demonstrate the difficulties encountered in the ensuing transition of ideology. One may therein glean some insight into the progress and likelihood for progress in a troubled regime which could, in the author's words, ultimately be "sporting a new political wardrobe."

Spanish Law (int'l practice):

  • Spanish Ass'n of Professors on Int'l Law and Int'l Relations, Spanish Yearbook of International Law: Vol. III 1993-1994 (Martinus Nijhoff, 1998) [591] ISBN 90-41-1007-0

This is the translated English version of a host of individually authored articles on various features of Spanish perspectives on International Law. Its pages illustrate a fresh perspective on some of the standard legal problems of the day. These timely analyses include the following subjects: serious human rights violations in Argentina and Chile (written before the Pinochet affair); Spanish diplomatic/parliamentary practice in the Public International Law arena; treaties to which Spain became a party in 1993-1994 involving Private and Public International Law; Spanish judicial decisions regarding International Law; and Spanish literature on these subjects published in 1993-1994. This book thus yields a wealth of information about important perspectives not otherwise conveniently accessible.

Trade:

  • R. Bhala & K. Kennedy, World Trade Law: The GATT-WTO System, Regional Arrangements, and U.S. Law (LEXIS, 1998) [1382] ISBN 1-55834-881-6

The authors have herein produced a dramatic contribution to the literature on the GATT-WTO system. It may become the most renowned hornbooks/practitioner's guide in this complex subject. They exhaustively explore the many features of the world trading system in this well-written and organized treatise, which is chock full of references to other authorities for further reference. It is an indispensable guide for both practical and academic analyses of world trade.

The book opens with a complete introduction to the GATT-WTO structure. The following chapters provide an infinite degree of essential detail on multilateral/regional obligations, customs law, preferential treatment of developing countries-of particular interest to those following the EU/US Banana dispute, antidumping/countervailing duty analysis, US "Section 301" actions, intellectual property right enforcement, and trade liberalization in basic/advanced sectors.

Treaties:

  • S. Riesenfeld & F. Abbott (ed.), Parliamentary Participation in the Making of and Operation of Treaties: A Comparative Study (Martinus Nijhoff, 1994) [608] ISBN 0-7923-1735-1

This title is older than those routinely reviewed in this Newsletter. However, it is also a jewel which will likely remain a lynchpin in this area of study for years to come. It forcefully fills the void in need of complete and authoritative assessments of the role which parliaments play in the treaty ratification process. This work is on the "cannot do without" list of any institution having an interest in the treaty process from a comparative perspective.

Part I on Country Reports is organized by region: Europe, Latin America, and the US. The individually authored chapters within each subsection provide reliable guidance for anyone in need of the essentials of a country-by-country summary of the legislative role in the treaty process. Part II provides a lively insight into the various processes via the transcript of a 1991 Geneva roundtable on parliamentary participation. Part III contains supplementary materials including a table of parliamentary powers, by country, a comparative outline of such participation in the treaty process, government descriptions of those powers, and selected constitutional and statutory provisions.

Treatises/Theory:

  • C. Ku & P. Diehl (ed.), International Law: Classic and Contemporary Readings (Lynne Rienner, 1998) [577] ISBN 1-55587-760-5

The editors have assembled a fascinating glimpse of the essential cornerstones of International Law. These are the classic readings, reprinted between two covers to promote access to a rich vein of literature in the field. The individually authored chapters, by renowned experts, focus is on IL's influence on political behavior-emphasizing the period since the end of the Cold War.

The primary organizational components are Part I: International Law and Politics; Part II: IL as an Operating System (e.g., sources, participants, and compliance); Part III: IL as a Normative System (including force, rights, environment, and economics); and Part IV: The Future of IL.

United Nations:

  • B. Fassbender, UN Security Council Reform and the Right of Veto: A Constitutional Perspective (Kluwer, 1998) [421] ISBN 90-411-0592-1

The significant, continuing interest in this topic is sparked by this analysis of a vital feature in UN reform. Viewing the UN Charter as a "constitution of the international community," one may thus assess the viability of proposed changes to the veto power now possessed by the permanent five members of the Security Council.

The first part of this book authenticates the constitutional character of the Charter. The second segment of this publication then evaluates the future of the Security Council veto power, which rendered it impotent on so many occasions during the Cold War. Both elements combine to provide a succinct, but exhaustive, analysis of the critical role to be played by reform in this domain of the Charter.

  • J. Frowein & R. Wolfrum (ed.), Max Plank Yearbook of United Nations Law: Vol. I 1997 (Kluwer, 1998) [641] ISBN 90 411 0700-2

This is the first volume of a very promising series of restatements chronicles UN developments on an annual basis. This Yearbook focus promotes a forum wherein individual authors, experts in their respective fields, can render their assessments in a way which reflects the major developments and innovations spawned by the UN legal process. The initial volume thus carves its niche with articles on the constitutional dimension of the UN Charter, bringing the Security Council into the post-Cold War era, the evolution of humanitarian principles, ILC acceptance of the Draft Code of Crimes Against the Peace and Security of Mankind, and the relationship between the ICJ and the new International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea.

Each issue will also carry book reviews and news of new documents (including the above mentioned draft articles, decisions/resolutions by certain UN organs, and general recommendations by other Ios). This first issue is an editor's delight and a researcher's dream. All international libraries should stock this series, which will prove to be an invaluable asset as the work of the UN-and its reform-evolves.

  • B. Stern (ed.), United Nations Peace-keeping Operations: A Guide to French Policies (Tokyo & NYC: UN Univ. Press, 1998) [paper: 146] ISBN 92-808-1009-X [bullet entry]
  • United Nations Decade of International Law (Thessaloniki Inst., 1998) [paper: 527] ISBN 960-85582-2-0

Volume XXIII (1998) of the annual summer programs of the Thessaloniki Institute in Greece is dedicated to the UN Decade of International Law. This organization offers annual lectures by leading publicists on various "hot button" issues in International Law.

This year's publication, consisting of two segments, focuses on the UN Decade. The first part contains the reprinted lectures which assessed the various features of the UN's work during the Decade. They include economic law in the Decade, the UN and other regional organization's roles in peace and security, and codification efforts. The second part of the 1998 publication is the "Travaux Pratiques." These exercises typically entail groups of participants who employ a roundtable technique to delve into the resolution of some topical problem.

Members of the UN Decade Interest Group should find this volume of particular interest because of its focus on principles enunciated as major themes of the UN Decade.
