Snoek.Freemasonry is the largest, oldest, and most influential secret society in the world. The Brill Handbook of Freemasonry is a pioneering work that brings together, for the first time, leading scholars on Freemasonry. The first section covers historical perspectives, such as the origins and early history of Freemasonry. The second deals with the relationship between Freemasonry and specific religious traditions such as the Catholic Church, Judaism, and Islam. In the third section, organisational themes, such as the use of rituals, are explored, while the fourth section deals with issues related to society and politics - women, blacks, colonialism, nationalism, and war. The fifth and final section is devoted to Freemasonry and culture, including music, literature, modern art, architecture and material culture.Brill handbooks on contemporary religion ;Volume 8.FreemasonryHistoryElectronic books.FreemasonryHistory.366/.1Bogdan HenrikSnoek Joannes Augustinus Maria1946-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463551503321Handbook of Freemasonry2261924UNINA03508nam 2200469 450 991036756190332120200114132325.03-8452-7592-89781509908929https://doi.org/10.5771/9783845275925(CKB)4100000005821988(MiAaPQ)EBC5519151(ScCtBLL)59c60cbd-a31d-4572-b607-86b310ac980b(EXLCZ)99410000000582198820181011d2018 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierAmicus Curiae before international courts and tribunals /Astrid WiikBaden-Baden, Germany :Hart Publishing :Nomos,[2018]©20181 online resource (734 pages)Successful dispute resolution ;Volume 43-8487-3240-8 Amicus curiae participation in international courts is steadily growing since the late 1990 despite lack of clarity on the concept's nature, function and utility in international dispute settlement. Does amicus curiae infuse international judicial proceedings with alternative views, including the public interest in a case, as often advocated by NGOs? Does it increase the legitimacy and transparency of international dispute settlement, or the coherence of international law? Or is it an unhelpful impostor that impedes negotiated solutions and derails the proceedings at the expense of the parties to advance its own agenda? By way of an empirical-comparative analysis of the laws and practices of the ICJ, the ITLOS, the ECtHR, the IACtHR, the IACtHPR, WTO panels and the Appellate Body, and investment arbitration the dissertation examines the status quo of amicus curiae before international courts and tribunals to determine if the current amicus curiae practice is of added value to international proceedings and international dispute settlement in general. The dissertation shows that there is no common concept of international amicus curiae, but that amicus curiae before the international courts examined share a few characteristics. A proposed functional systematization highlights overlaps and diverging uses of the concept before international courts and helps scholars and practitioners to assess the opportunities and limits of the concept. Analysis of the concept's current regulatory framework and its substantive effectiveness reveals a hesitation in particular by courts with a strong adversarial tradition to take into account the views of a non-party despite the positive experience with the concept in regional human rights courts. The dissertation concludes that neither the expectations nor the concerns attached to amicus curiae participation in international proceedings have materialized. It argues that the concept can contribute to improved decisions and decision-making in international dispute settlement if regulated and used properly.Successful dispute resolution ;Volume 4.Amici curiaeInternational courtsRules and practiceElectronic books.Amici curiae.International courts347.01Wiik Astrid914985MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910367561903321Amicus Curiae before international courts and tribunals2050426UNINA
