International Agreements between Non-State Actors as a Source of International Law Melissa Loja, National University of Singapore, Singapore
This book adopts postmodern legal positivism, departing from the more usual state-centric analysis, to explore whether agreements with non state actors can be considered sources of law. It acknowledges that international law-making takes place in subjective social landscapes. It moves beyond a conceptual discussion, and looks at the question in an applied context, taking as its case study petroleum agreements allowing two or more states to exploit disputed resources across boundaries. This innovative study will be relevant to scholars, practitioners of public international law, and civil servants.

State Responsibility for NonState Actors Past, Present and Prospects for the Future
Richard Mackenzie-Gray Scott, University of Oxford, UK This book investigates how state responsibility is determined for the wrongdoing of non-state actors. People, businesses and societies pay a price for interactions between states and non-state actors. From insurrections that attempt to create new governments, to states arming belligerent proxies, to companies damaging natural environments or providing suspect services, their impacts are felt in numerous ways. They also give raise to many questions relating to responsibility. In answering these, this book provides a picture of what the law governing this area is, what it could be, and what it should be in light of the past, present, and future.

A Framework for Compliance in International Humanitarian Law Elizabeth Stubbins Bates, University of Oxford, UK
The books grapples with the long recognised challenge of international humanitarian law: namely that it is only partially implemented and underenforced. It shows how the duty to respect and disseminate international humanitarian law in military instruction and training, command responsibility to prevent, grave breaches, and the law on superior orders are all inter-related. Interdisciplinary analysis gives insights into key actors’ behaviour. All this serves to show what is required under international humanitarian law and how it can be better complied with. This innovative study will be welcomed by academics in the field, but also by military lawyers and NGOs.

Judicial Decisions in International Law Argumentation
Between Entrapment and Creativity Letizia Lo Giacco, Leiden University, the Netherlands Do the decisions of courts transform international law? This book explores this question by looking at the issues of international criminal law. It focuses on cases in four key fields: protected groups in the definition of genocide; armed conflict in the definition of war crimes and serious violations of the laws and customs of war; command responsibility; and the 'unlawful combatant'. Cases are drawn from courts including the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg (IMT), the ICTY, the ICTR, and the ICC.
