DesiertoLeiden, The Netherlands Martinus Nijhoff Publishers20121 online resource (432 p.)International litigation in practice,1874-0502 ;v. 3Description based upon print version of record.90-04-21852-1 Includes bibliographical references and index.Preliminary Material -- Introduction -- The Doctrine of Necessity in Municipal and International Legal Orders -- The Historical Genesis of Necessity Doctrine: -- Substantive and Methodological Issues in Interpreting Necessity Clauses in Treaties: -- Economic and National Security Emergencies: -- States of Emergency in International Human Rights Treaties -- Misapplying Necessity: -- Conclusion: -- Selected Bibliography -- Subject Index.States invoke economic crises and security threats to justify treaty non-compliance. The most dramatic recent examples of this phenomenon include “necessity” defences in international investment law; “emergency” derogations in international human rights treaties; “exceptions” for non-conforming measures in international trade law; and doctrinal misapplications of necessity in jus ad bellum and jus in bello. Necessity and National Emergency Clauses is the first to trace the doctrine’s genealogy from medieval Christian and Islamic religious history to post-Westphalian practices, the International Law Commission’s codifications, and modern treaty formulations. Recognizing the doctrine’s thematic linkage with the State’s sovereign right to delimit international obligation, the volume proposes analytical criteria to assess the lawfulness and legitimacy of interpretations of necessity and national emergency clauses within specialized treaty regimes. This volume is intended for law students, legal scholars, arbitrators, international judges, and other international law practitioners interested in deriving interpretive solutions to treaty controversies on the doctrine of necessity. Diane Desierto was awarded the 2010-2011 Ambrose Gherini Prize, the highest prize awarded in the field of International Law by Yale Law School, for her JSD dissertation, upon which this book is based.International litigation in practice ;v. 3.Necessity (International law)TreatiesInterpretation and constructionClauses (Law)SovereigntyNecessity (International law)TreatiesInterpretation and construction.Clauses (Law)Sovereignty.341.3/7Desierto Diane A763962MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778959203321Necessity and national emergency clauses1550565UNINA
