Issues as central to international human rights as the right to water, abortion, torture, and hate speech are often only clarified through the instrument of treaty interpretations. This book dives beneath the surface of the formal access, procedures, and actors of the UN treaty body system to reveal how the experts and external collaborators play a key role in the development of human rights. Nina Reiners introduces the concept of ‘Transnational Lawmaking Coalitions’ within a novel theoretical framework and draws on a number of detailed case studies and original data. This study makes a significant contribution to the scholarship on human rights, transnational actors, and international organizations, and contributes to broader debates in international relations and international law.</p> <p><em>About the Author<br></em>Nina Reiners is a Political Scientist in the interdisciplinary research group “International Rule of Law: Rise or Decline?” at Free University Berlin and research associate at the Global Governance Centre at the Graduate Institute Geneva.

Smith and Katie Verlin Laatikainen<br>Published by: Brill Nijhoff</p> <p><em>Summary</em><br><em>Group Politics in UN Multilateralism </em>provides a new perspective on diplomacy and negotiations at the United Nations. Very few states ‘act individually’ at the UN; instead they often work within groups such as the Africa Group, the European Union or the Arab League. States use groups to put forward principled positions in an attempt to influence a wider audience and thus legitimize desired outcomes. Yet the volume also shows that groups are not static: new groups emerge in multilateral negotiations on issues such as climate, security and human rights. At any given moment, UN multilateralism is shaped by long-standing group dynamics as well as shifting, ad-hoc groupings. These intergroup dynamics are key to understanding diplomatic practice at the UN.</p> <p><em>About the Editors<br></em>Karen E.

Salton<br>Published by: Oxford University Press</p> <p><em>Summary</em><br><em>Dangerous Diplomacy</em> reassesses the role of the UN Secretariat during the Rwandan genocide. With the help of new sources, including the personal diaries and private papers of the late Sir Marrack Goulding—an Under-Secretary-General from 1988 to 1997 and the second highest-ranking UN official during the genocide—the book situates the Rwanda operation within the context of bureaucratic and power-political friction existing at UN Headquarters in the early 1990s. The book shows how this confrontation led to a lack of coordination between key UN departments on issues as diverse as reconnaissance, intelligence, and crisis management. Yet <em>Dangerous Diplomacy</em> goes beyond these institutional pathologies and identifies the conceptual origins of the Rwanda failure in the gray area that separates peacebuilding and peacekeeping. The difficulty of separating these two UN functions explains why six decades after the birth of the UN, it has still not been possible to demarcate the precise roles of some key UN departments.</p> <p><em>About the Author<br></em>Herman T.

The International Law Commission has codified and developed the law of institutional responsibility, but, while indispensable, these principles and rules cannot on their own ensure compliance and accountability. The ‘liberty deficit’ of the UN and of other international organisations thus remains an urgent legal and political problem. Some solutions may be available; indeed, recent state and institutional practice offers interesting examples in this respect.

From a broad historical perspective, <em>Development without Destruction</em> sketches the role played by organizations and individuals in the UN system in developing and consolidating principles of international law and international governance with respect to natural resource management. Nico Schrijver highlights the UN’s efforts to generate and implement strategies to resolve tensions between economic development and environmental protection, conservation and exploitation, sovereignty and internationalism, and armed conflict and peaceful access to natural resources. Schrijver’s thorough analysis is an indispensable guide to management of the critical environmental issues on today’s global agenda.</p> <p><em>About the Author</em><br>Nico Schrijver holds the Chair of International Law and is Academic Director of the Grotius Centre for International Legal Studies at Leiden University.

Lise Morjé Howard studies the sources of success and failure in UN peacekeeping. Her in-depth analysis of some of the most complex UN peacekeeping missions debunks the conventional wisdom that they habitually fail, showing that the UN record actually includes a number of important, though understudied, success stories. Using systematic comparative analysis, Howard argues that UN peacekeeping succeeds when field missions establish significant autonomy from UN headquarters, allowing civilian and military staff to adjust to the post-civil war environment. In contrast, failure frequently results from operational directives originating in UN headquarters, often devised in relation to higher-level political disputes with little relevance to the civil war in question. Howard recommends future reforms be oriented toward devolving decision-making power to the field missions.</p> <p><em>About the Author</em><br>Lise Morjé Howard is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Government at Georgetown University. She received her M.A. and Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of California at Berkeley and her A.B. in Soviet Studies from Barnard College of Columbia University. She was the founding Director of the Master of Arts Program in Conflict Resolution at Georgetown, and prior to beginning graduate school, served as Acting Director of UN Affairs for the New York City Commission for the United Nations. Dr. Howard’s research and teaching interests span the fields of international relations, conflict resolution, and comparative politics. Her work focuses on civil wars, peacekeeping, and international mediation.</p> <p><br></p> </div> </div> <div class="wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-2bh68ar" data-block-id="2bh68ar"></div> <div class="wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow" style="flex-basis:33.33%"> <div class="wp-block-stackable-image stk-block-image stk-block stk-li8evms" data-block-id="li8evms"><style>.stk-li8evms .stk-img-wrapper img{transform:scale(0.75) !important}</style><figure><span class="stk-img-wrapper stk-image--shape-stretch"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="stk-img wp-image-3565" src="https://acuns.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/2009_Building_the_International_Criminal_Court-336x469.png" width="336" height="469" srcset="https://acuns.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/2009_Building_the_International_Criminal_Court-336x469.png 336w, https://acuns.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/2009_Building_the_International_Criminal_Court.png 577w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 336px) 100vw, 336px" /></span></figure></div> </div> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow" style="flex-basis:66.66%"> <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="2009-building-the-international-criminal-court"><strong>2009: <em>Building the International Criminal Court</em></strong></h3> <p>By: Benjamin N. Schiff <br>Published by: Cambridge University Press</p> <p><em>Summary</em><br><em>Building the International Criminal Court</em> analyzes the ICC, melding historical perspective, international relations theories, and observers’ insights to explain the Court’s origins, creation, innovations, dynamics, and operational challenges. The ICC is the first and only standing international court capable of prosecuting humanity’s worst crimes: genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. It faces huge obstacles. It has no police force; it pursues investigations in areas of tremendous turmoil, conflict, and death; it is charged both with trying suspects and with aiding their victims; and it seeks to combine divergent legal traditions in an entirely new international legal mechanism. International law advocates sought to establish a standing international criminal court for more than 150 years. Other, temporary, single-purpose criminal tribunals, truth commissions, and special courts have come and gone, but the ICC is the only permanent inheritor of the Nuremberg legacy.</p> <p><em>About the Author</em><br>Dr. Benjamin N. Schiff is a Professor of Politics at Oberlin College. He received his B.A. from Michigan State University and his Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley.
