The art of making peace : lessons learned from peace treaties
This unique volume looks at international peace treaties, at their results, effects and failures. It reflects the outcome of an international conference held in the Peace Palace (The Hague) on the occasion of the Centenary of this institution, which opened its doors on the eve of World War I. 00The volume offers the reflections of the leading experts attending the conference and the open debate which followed. The Treaty of Versailles of 1919, the mother of all peace treaties, is the first to be critically discussed. How should this treaty be viewed with the knowledge of today? What are the lessons learned in the light of historic developments? Subsequently, the Dayton Agreement, which sealed the end to the bloody conflict in the former Yugoslavia (1992-1995), and the Sudan Agreement, which came into being after lengthy negotiations in 2005, are analysed in the same way. Finally, the situations which arose in relation to the devastating wars between Iran and Iraq (1980-1988) and between Kuwait and Iraq are discussed. As these states could not reach a settlement themselves, the United Nations Security Council imposed the terms of the ceasefire and peaceful cooperation in important and innovative resolutions. 00.
Book
The Politics of Ratification of EU Treaties
Since its inception, the European Union (EU) has revised its foundational treaties several times, resulting in national ratification processes involving different actors, with varying success. This book focuses on the politics of ratification of EU Treaties and reviews the processes of ratification of EU primary legislation.
Existing research and academic debate on EU constitutional politics have almost exclusively focussed on negotiation of new treaties and their institutional setting. However, this book explains how the result of ratification was achieved, and analyses the strategy that actors pursue across Europe. Ratification of the Treaty of Maastricht and the EU Constitution failed totally, whilst other ratification can be considered partial failures such as the Irish Nice and Lisbon referendums. As the EU Constitution has proved, the ratification process may have deep effects unforeseen during the processes of negotiation. In recent years, ratification has produced some of the most intense debates on national membership of the EU and the EU itself.
The Politics of Ratification of EU Treaties will be of interest to students and researchers of European Studies, European Union studies, European Union Law and European Union Politics.

Borderlines in Borderlands
In examining how the United States gained control over the northern borderlands of Spanish America, this work reassesses the diplomacy of President James Madison. Historians have assumed Madison's motive in sending agents into the Spanish borderlands between 1810 and 1813 was to subvert Spanish rule, but J. C. A. Stagg argues that his real intent was to find peaceful and legal resolutions to long-standing disputes over the boundaries of Louisiana at a time when the Spanish-American empire was in the process of dissolution. Drawing on an array of American, British, French, and Spanish sources, the author describes how a myriad cast of local leaders, officials, and other small players affected the borderlands diplomacy between the United States and Spain, and he casts new light on Madison's contribution to early American expansionism.

Withdrawal from multilateral treaties
\"This is the first comprehensive and systematic monograph on withdrawal from multilateral treaties, which explains the evolution of the concept of withdrawal and examines its increasing in the context of the international law of treaties. It examines the political and legal framework around treaty making to explain the evolution of withdrawal over time and its increasing use overtime. International scholars and policy makers have long addressed treaty making and treaty maintenance in light of the binary choice between compliance and breach, while leaving unregulated or at least under-regulated the actula act of withdrawal. In the age of global entrenchment, is there still room for international law to regulate the rules of the game, or will unilateral decisions overturn the current architecture of a multilateral gloabl order?\"-- Provided by publisher.
BOOK
Treaties as Sources of Public Law
Introduction: the contractual form of regulating the relations which is specific for private law has recently been widely used for the registration of public relations. Despite this, today the place of treaties among the sources of public law is not clearly defined; therefore, the author sets the goal to study the treaty as a source of public law. Methods: the methodological framework for this study is a set of methods of scientific knowledge, among which the main are the methods of consistency, analysis and comparative law. Results: proved in the work the author’s point of view is based on the legislation and of the competent academic community’s opinions of the issue of the criteria of the treaty as a source of public law. The issues of legal impact on treaties, as well as the advantages of the treaty over other sources of public law are raised. Conclusions: the study revealed the need to develop a universal definition of the law treaty, to sufficiently study both the theory of the treaty and the theory of the legal act as a whole, as well as to publish the law on normative legal acts, which will include the relevant provisions.

La « centralité » de l’ASEAN: concept et mise en œuvre
The concept of “centrality” of ASEAN emerged around ten years ago at a time when various rival projects were threatening the organization. Certain measures were taken to strengthen the association but this doesn’t guarantee its survival. The main problems it faces have to do with lack of interest among local popula-tions and serious under-funding. A new treaty of political partnership would give ASEAN a second wind.

UN human rights treaty bodies : law and legitimacy
\"The effective implementation of human rights treaty obligations in national law is subject to increasing attention. The main responsibility for the international monitoring of national implementation at the global level is entrusted to the UN human rights treaty bodies. These bodies are established by the respective human rights conventions and are composed of independent experts. This book examines three aspects of these bodies: the legal aspects of their structure, functions and decisions; their effectiveness in ensuring respect for human rights obligations; and the legitimacy of these bodies and their decisions. Containing contributions from a variety of eminent legal experts, including present and former members of the treaty bodies, the analysis should be read in light of the ongoing effort to strengthen treaty bodies under the auspices of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and with the involvement of relevant stakeholders\"-- Provided by publisher.
Book
Not One Inch
Thirty years after the Soviet Union's collapse, this book
reveals how tensions between America, NATO, and Russia transformed
geopolitics in the decade after the fall of the Berlin
Wall \"The most engaging and carefully documented
account of this period in East-West diplomacy currently
available.\"-Andrew Moravscik, Foreign Affairs Not
one inch. With these words, Secretary of State James Baker proposed
a hypothetical bargain to Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev after the
fall of the Berlin Wall: if you let your part of Germany go, we
will move NATO not one inch eastward. Controversy erupted almost
immediately over this 1990 exchange-but more important was the
decade to come, when the words took on new meaning. Gorbachev let
his Germany go, but Washington rethought the bargain, not least
after the Soviet Union's own collapse in December 1991. Washington
realized it could not just win big but win bigger. Not one inch of
territory needed to be off limits to NATO. On the thirtieth
anniversary of the Soviet collapse, this book uses new evidence and
interviews to show how, in the decade that culminated in Vladimir
Putin's rise to power, the United States and Russia undermined a
potentially lasting partnership. Prize-winning historian M. E.
Sarotte shows what went wrong.
