International law has long been dominated by the State. But it has become apparent that this bias is unrealistic and untenable in the contemporary world as the rise of the notion of common goods challenges this dominance. These common goods ? typically values (like human rights, rule of law, etc) or common domains (the environment, cultural heritage, space, etc) ? speak to an emergent international community beyond the society of States and the attendant rights and obligations of non-State actors.This book details how three key areas of international law ? human rights, culture and the environment ? are pushing the boundaries in this field. Each category is of current and ongoing significance in legal and public discourse, as illustrated by the Syrian conflict (human rights and international humanitarian law), the destruction of mausoleums and manuscripts in Mali (cultural heritage), and the Deepwater Horizon oil spill (the environment). Each exemplifies the need to move beyond a State-focused idea of international law.This timely volume explores how the idea of common goods, in which rights and obligations extend to individuals, groups and the international community, offers one such avenue and reflects on its transformative impact on international law.

Issues concerning religion in the public sphere are rarely far from the headlines. As a result, scholars have paid increasing attention to religion. These scholars, however, have generally stayed within the confines of their own respective disciplines. To date there has been little contact between lawyers and sociologists. Religion, Law and Society explores whether, how and why law and religion should interact with the sociology of religion. It examines sociological and legal materials concerning religion in order to find out what lawyers and sociologists can learn from each other. A groundbreaking, provocative and thought-provoking book, it is essential reading for lawyers, sociologists and all who are interested in the relationship between religion, law and society in the twenty-first century.

Espace de la parole - libérée des contraintes sociales et rendue publique -, de la vérité et de la sanction, la justice crée de multiples discours, parfois attendus et imposés, parfois antagonistes. Ces discours proviennent soit du monde de la judicature (juge, avocat, auxiliaires de la justice) - un monde qui conçoit des règles, les interprète et les filtre selon les affaires traitées -, soit des justiciables (victimes, prévenus, témoins), désireux de se faire entendre et de voir résolu, dans l'enceinte du tribunal, un tort subi. Tous témoignent d'une culture judiciaire mise à l'épreuve par les litiges. Chacun use de moyens divers pour rétablir l'honneur bafoué, pour utiliser à son avantage les outils judiciaires, pour mettre en scène et par écrit les injustices endurées, pour utiliser la rhétorique, telle qu'elle est maîtrisée par les praticiens du droit et les lettrés. C'est bien la voix des acteurs sociaux et politiques et celle des autres (le plus souvent les oubliés de l'histoire) que donnent à entendre les vingt-sept contributions composant cet ouvrage. La maîtrise des règles juridiques et de la pratique judiciaire, la volonté des justiciables à se réapproprier la norme et à l'adapter à leurs besoins permettent aussi de considérer ce vaste champ d'expression et de construction rhétorique que constitue l'opinion publique, sans cesse interpellée et mobilisée, dans des affaires parfois retentissantes du Moyen Âge à nos jours.

That law is, or should be, related to justice generally goes without saying; that communities are the basis for (or objects of) laws is also easily assumed; and notable theories of justice explicitly or implicitly elide the two. In this volume historians and anthropologists use empirical examples to unpick conceptual knots formed by law, justice, and community, asking how these relations appear in practice, and how fundamental they are.
