International Law for Common Goods


Book Description

International law has long been dominated by the State. But it has become apparent that this bias is unrealistic and untenable in the contemporary world as the rise of the notion of common goods challenges this dominance. These common goods – typically values (like human rights, rule of law, etc) or common domains (the environment, cultural heritage, space, etc) – speak to an emergent international community beyond the society of States and the attendant rights and obligations of non-State actors. This book details how three key areas of international law – human rights, culture and the environment – are pushing the boundaries in this field. Each category is of current and ongoing significance in legal and public discourse, as illustrated by the Syrian conflict (human rights and international humanitarian law), the destruction of mausoleums and manuscripts in Mali (cultural heritage), and the Deepwater Horizon oil spill (the environment). Each exemplifies the need to move beyond a State-focused idea of international law. This timely volume explores how the idea of common goods, in which rights and obligations extend to individuals, groups and the international community, offers one such avenue and reflects on its transformative impact on international law.




Le droit du design / Design Law


Book Description

Cet ouvrage constitue le huitième volume de la collection p®opriété intelle©tuelle – intelle tual p operty (www.pi-ip.ch). Il rassemble les contributions qui ont été rédigées à l’occasion de la Journée de Droit de la Propriété Intellectuelle (www.jdpi.ch) organisée le 5 février 2015 à l’Université de Genève sur le thème « Le droit du design / Design Law ». Il ne fait pas de doute que l’apparence extérieure des produits qui nous entourent est susceptible d’exercer une force d’attraction importante, voire une fascination sur le public des consommateurs. Preuve en est la valeur phénoménale progressivement acquise par une firme californienne à la désormais célébrissime pomme – qui était, il faut le rappeler, au bord du gouffre il y a quelques années –. Cette firme a en effet su inventer ou réinventer des produits technologiques à destination de tous à la ligne épurée et attractive, qu’il s’agisse de téléphones, de tablettes ou d’autres produits électroniques. Il est certes clair que l’attractivité de ces produits ne tient pas exclusivement à leur apparence, mais également à leur convivialité et fonctionnalités technologiques. On ne peut toutefois pas doutes que leur « look » y contribue aussi (largement). Il n’est dès lors pas surprenant que nombre d’entreprises dans des secteurs et industries très variés consacrent d’importantes ressources et leur énergie créatrice à développer des produits au design unique, destiné à les distinguer de ceux de leurs concurrents. Comment le droit du design peut-il dès lors protéger cette créativité des produits et à quelles conditions ? Juger du pouvoir d’attraction de la forme d’un produit n’est pas tâche aisée. C’est en somme tenter de faire écho sur le plan légal à la phrase du célèbre designer Milton Glaser : « There are three responses to a piece of design : yes, no and … WOW. WOW is the one to aim for ». Pour explorer le domaine évolutif du droit du design, les auteurs des remarquables contributions qui composent ce livre se sont penchés sur diverses facettes de la thématique en droit international et national. Qu’ils soient chaleureusement remerciés pour leur précieux travail et que M. Pierre Heuzé qui s’est chargé des tâches d’édition du livre trouve ici aussi l’expression de ma vive reconnaissance.




The Cambridge Handbook of International and Comparative Trademark Law


Book Description

Trade in goods and services has historically resisted territorial confinement, but trademark protection remains territorial, albeit within an increasingly important framework of multilateral treaties. Trademark law therefore demands that practitioners, policy-makers and academics understand principles of international and comparative law. This handbook assists in that endeavour, with chapters describing and critically analyzing international and regional frameworks, and providing comparative perspectives on the substantive issues in trademark law and related fields, such as geographic indications, advertising law, and domain names. Chapters contrast common law and civil law approaches while focusing on the US and EU trademark systems in light of the role these systems have played in the development of trademark laws. Additionally, this handbook covers other jurisdictions, both common law and civil law, on the Asia-Pacific, African, and South American continents. This work should be read by anyone seeking a better understanding of trademark law around the world.

Redfern and Hunter on International Arbitration


Book Description

Redfern and Hunter on International Arbitration is an established treatise on the law and practice of international arbitration, the pre-eminent method for the peaceful resolution of disputes in international trade, investment, and commerce. This book serves as an introduction, following the chronology of an arbitration from the drafting of the arbitration agreement right through to the enforcement of the arbitral award. Written by an author team with extensive experience as counsel and abitrators, the book has been read and cited by international lawyers, arbitrators, and judges, and has become a key learning text for teachers, students, and potential arbitrators in colleges and universities across the world. The seventh edition has been significantly revised to incorporate the latest significant developments in the field, includling changes in investor state dispute resolution, leading court decisions on arbitration matters in a wider number of jurisdictions, changes in the 'soft law' of leading international arbitral institutions and of the International Bar Association, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the practice of international arbitration. This shorter, paperback edition does not include the appendices.




Public Health in International Investment Law and Arbitration


Book Description

As a wide variety of state regulations allegedly aimed at protecting public health may interfere with foreign investments, a tension exists between the public health policies of the host state and investment treaty provisions. Under most investment treaties, States have waived their sovereign immunity, and have agreed to give arbitrators a comprehensive jurisdiction over what are essentially regulatory disputes. Some scholars and practitioners have expressed concern regarding the magnitude of decision-making power allocated to investment treaty tribunals. This book contributes to the current understanding of international investment law and arbitration, addressing the fundamental question of whether public health has and/or should have any relevance in contemporary international investment law and policy.
