Individual Responsibility in International Law for Serious Human Rights Violations

The impact of (international) armed conflict on international economic law has become a subject of renewed interest since, in particular, the Iran--Iraq War of 1980--1988 and, to a lesser extent, the Falkland/Malvinas War of 1982. The military operations against Iraq during the 1990--1991 Kuwait crisis, and, more recently, the events in the former Yugoslavia have added a new dimension to this part of international law. The subject of this book is the reciprocal effect of armed conflict & international economic relations. The rules on visit, search, diversion & capture, instruments such as blockade or the rules on termination or suspension of trade agreements & the law of neutrality provide classic examples. 'Traditional' & 'classic' do not necessarily mean that these long-standing rules are now invalid. One of the purposes of this book is to examine the state of important rules of international prize law & of fundamental principles of the law of neutrality. The essays collected here contribute to a few important capita of international economic law.Sunga, Lyal S. is the author of 'Individual Responsibility in International Law for Serious Human Rights Violations' with ISBN 9780792314530 and ISBN 0792314530.
