Resumen: International custom remains one of the
most important sources of international law despite the codification of
the law and the numerous international agreements concluded between the
different actors of the international community. However, uncertainties
still remain in relation to several of its aspects, including its
formation, evidence and the relationship between its two constituent
elements, that is, State practice and opinio juris. This presents
challenges to national and international judges when called upon to
identify and apply the rules of customary international law. With a view
to addressing these grey areas, the Council of Europe ad hoc Committee
of Legal Advisers on Public International Law (CAHDI) in cooperation
with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of France organised a conference on
"The Judge and International Custom" where important
contributions of Eduardo Vio Grossi, Peter Tomka, Tullio Treves, Ximena
Hinrichs, Jiří Malenovský, Ineta Ziemele, Bernard Stirn, Andreas Paulus,
Liesbeth Lijnzaad, Dmitry Dedov, Ernest Petrić, Lord Collins of
Mapesbury, Tom Cross and Sir Michael Wood. |

Resumen: Although the relationship between
international human rights law and the law of armed conflict has been
the subject of significant recent academic discussion, there remains a
lack of comprehensive guidance in identifying the law applicable to
specific situations faced by military forces. This book is the result
of an in-depth process involving both academic and practitioner experts
in the law of armed conflict and international human rights law who were
convened in meetings at Chatham House chaired by Elizabeth Wilmshurst,
Distinguished Fellow at Chatham House. The group included Professor
Francoise Hampson, Essex University; Professor Dapo Akande, Oxford
University; Charles Garraway, Fellow at Essex University; Professor Noam
Lubell, Essex University; Michael Meyer, British Red Cross; and Daragh
Murray, Lecturer at Essex University. |

Criminalization of Human Rights Defenders.

Resumen: This report conceptualizes the
phenomenon of criminalization and identifies the contexts and groups of
defenders who are most affected by this practice, as well as the actors
who usually participate in the processes of criminalization through the
misuse of criminal law. Additionally, the IACHR identifies the main
forms of criminalization against human rights defenders and the
obligations that States must observe in criminal proceedings to prevent
them from becoming tools to hinder the defense of human rights. The
report also analyzes the diverse effects of criminalization on defense
activities, the personal and professional lives of human rights
defenders, as well as their social environment. Finally, it refers to
initiatives taken by States to address the misuse of criminal law,
identifying appropriate practices under international law standards to
eliminate and prevent the misuse of criminal law against human rights
defenders. |
