Contracting Stability: The Potential Use Of Private Military Contractors As A United Nations Rapid Reaction Force, Jared Genser
Contracting Stability: The Potential Use Of Private Military Contractors As A United Nations Rapid Reaction Force, Jared Genser
Jared Genser
In June 2015, the High-Level Independent Panel on Peace Operations established by United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and chaired by former East Timor President José Ramos-Horta, published its comprehensive review of UN Peacekeeping Operations. The Panel observed that it takes an average of six months from when a peacekeeping mission is authorized by the United Nations Security Council to when it is deployed. It further explained that although rapid and effective deployment comes at a cost, responding more quickly saves lives and can avoid a larger, more costly response later. In asking the Secretary-General to develop options for a new …

With CSR programs the new normal, consumers and investors increasingly factoring CSR performance into their decision-making, and companies eager to display "good corporate citizenship," strict CSR due diligence is required to proactively manage legal risks. More than ever, words must match deeds.

The Case-Law Of The European Court Of Human Rights On The Immunity Of States, Theodor Jr Schilling
The Case-Law Of The European Court Of Human Rights On The Immunity Of States, Theodor Jr Schilling
Theodor JR Schilling
Invoking State immunity in court proceedings is a way for a State to prevent judicial scrutiny of its responsibility for its actions. Such scrutiny, however, is the main raison d'être at least of those human rights regimes that provide for a supervision of States' compliance with human rights. It would therefore come as no surprise if human rights jurisprudence, especially the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights would prove to be a challenge to State immunity. However, it is not, or, at most, in a roundabout way.
The Duty To Make Amends To Victims Of Armed Conflict, Scott T. Paul
The Duty To Make Amends To Victims Of Armed Conflict, Scott T. Paul
Scott T Paul
In the past decade, calls for monetary payments by warring parties to the civilians they harm have become significantly louder and more prominent. The law of armed conflict permits parties to harm civilians, so long as the harm is not excessive to the concrete and direct military advantage they anticipate gaining through an attack. This paper examines the current state of international law regarding duties owed to victims suffering harm as a result of lawful combat operations and discusses the moral obligations owed to them by the parties who cause them harm. The paper notes that civilians who suffer incidental …
Kill-Lists And Accountability, Gregory S. Mcneal
Kill-Lists And Accountability, Gregory S. Mcneal
Gregory S. McNeal
This article is a comprehensive examination of the U.S. practice of targeted killings. It is based in part on field research, interviews, and previously unexamined government documents. The article fills a gap in the literature, which to date lacks sustained scholarly analysis of the accountability mechanisms associated with the targeted killing process. The article makes two major contributions: 1) it provides the first qualitative empirical accounting of the targeted killing process, beginning with the creation of kill-lists extending through the execution of targeted strikes; 2) it provides a robust analytical framework for assessing the accountability mechanisms associated with those processes. …
