Abstract

In December 1994 Ukraine gave up the third-largest nuclear arsenal in the world and signed the Non-Proliferation Treaty, having received assurances that its sovereignty would be respected and secured by Russia, the United States, and the United Kingdom. Based on original and heretofore unavailable documents, Yuri Kostenko’s account of the negotiations between Ukraine, Russia, and the US, reveals for the first time the internal debates of the Ukrainian government, as well as the pressure exerted upon it by its international partners. Kostenko presents an insider’s view on the issue of nuclear disarmament and raises the question of whether the complete and immediate dismantlement of the country’s enormous nuclear arsenal was strategically the right decision, especially in view of the 2014 annexation of Crimea by Russia, one of the guarantors of Ukraine’s sovereignty under denuclearization.

Abstract

"This volume seeks to start a revival of the field of disarmament law scholarship. Law is a fundamental component of disarmament. Yet, today, most perspectives on the wide range of disarmament issues that exist come primarily from political, diplomatic and public advocacy angles. The aim of this book is to revive the field of disarmament law, building on earlier, important and still relevant, contributions by international lawyers to the subject. The collection brings together international scholars on various aspects of disarmament. The contributions range across a variety of weapons-types, adopt different approaches - doctrinal, historical and critical - to the issues being discussed and taken together, constitute a snapshot of the ideas, concerns and issues that currently occupy disarmament scholars"--

Abstract

"As has been established, there is widespread agreement that customary international law consists of two elements: state practice and opinio juris.114 In relation to the crystallization of opinio juris and practice into binding customary law, one must also bear in mind the ICJ's decision regarding states "whose interests" have been "specially affected" as per the North Sea Continental Shelf case.115 In this case, the Court examined the delimitation of the continental shelf areas in the North Sea in relation to Germany and Denmark as well as between Germany and the Netherlands, looking beyond the partial boundaries which had been previously agreed upon by the parties. Specifically, the parties to the dispute requested the Court to issue principles and rules of international law to be applied to the delimitation of the continental shelf delimitation because they disagreed on the applicable principles or rules of delimitation.116 In its decision, the Court listed criteria necessary in 114 "Practice and Customary Law in Military Operations, Including Peace Support Operations" Congress of the International Society for Military Law and the Law of War (2009), available online: http://ismllw.org/congres/General%20Report%20Congress.pdf. 115 North Sea Continental Shelf, Judgment of the ICJ (Germany v Denmark; Germany v Netherlands), ICJ Reports (1969) p 3 at para 74, available online: . 116 Specifically, the case examined "What principles and rules of international law applied to the dispute regarding the delimitation of the continental shelf between the Federal Republic of Germany and Denmark on the one hand, and between the Federal Republic of Germany and the Netherlands on the other, and then how to delimit the area on that basis. Whether the delimitations at issue"--

Abstract

"Making a timely contribution to the legal literature, this important book discusses an under-analysed issue of great importance to international peace and security. It provides a comprehensive overview and analysis of the prevention of nuclear terrorism specifically through an international (arms control) law lens. Jonathan Herbach sets out a basis for better understanding how the international legal framework for nuclear security is structured and why it is structured that way, and offers a critical analysis of the component instruments that make up the framework. He highlights the strengths and analyzes possible gaps and weaknesses of these instruments and the legal framework as a whole, as well as explaining the framework's key characteristics, approaches and rationale. As nuclear security is by no means a static topic, with changing circumstances a defining feature of the area, the book also offers ideas for the path forward and conceptualizes ways to further strengthen the nuclear security legal framework. Offering a fresh perspective on the prevention of nuclear terrorism, this book will benefit academics and students of public international law, counter-terrorism and conflict and security law. It will also be a useful resource for governmental legal advisors, think-tanks and diplomats to inform their work on means and mechanisms to help strengthen the global nuclear security regime and to provide guidance for decision-making"--

Abstract

L'équipe du Centre de droit international de l'Université Jean Moulin Lyon 3 (CDI) s'est penchée sur des aspects peu connus des enjeux juridiques et politiques liés au nucléaire. Le présent ouvrage restitue un travail de recherche de grande envergure débuté en 2018 questionnant l'impact de la technologie nucléaire tant civile que militaire, sur le droit international. Sans prétendre à l'exhaustivité, les chercheurs du CDI (et leurs invités ! ) ont mis l'accent sur certaines interrogations soulevées, d'une part, par le développement, la menace, l'usage ou encore la réglementation de l'arme nucléaire et, d'autre part, par l'utilisation de la technologie nucléaire à des fins civiles. L'ouvrage revient ainsi sur les enjeux juridiques liés à l'arme nucléaire, notamment en termes de protection de certains espaces fragiles (océans, Arctique - Partie VI), et de tentatives de réglementation. Les Conventions adoptées en la matière font naître une série de questionnements en droit des traités (enregistrement, mise en oeuvre, articulation et même dénonciation - Partie I), mais également en droit international humanitaire (Partie III). Par ailleurs, l'évolution des politiques nationales et des doctrines officielles vis-à-vis de la dissuasion nucléaire démontrent, s'il en était besoin, de la cruelle actualité de la question et du besoin urgent de coopération internationale (Partie II) et régionale - notamment européenne - et d'une réelle politique de non-prolifération (Partie VI). Tout en étant moins teinté d'agressivité, le nucléaire civil n'en reste pas moins une activité dangereuse et susceptible de porter atteinte aux droits humains, tant individuels que collectifs (Partie IV). Si l'hypothèse d'un accident provoquant une catastrophe nucléaire est dans tous les esprits, il n'est pas nécessaire qu'une telle catastrophe se produise pour que les droits humains soient mis en danger. L'implantation même de centrales nucléaires peut parfois entrer en conflit avec les droits des peuples concernés
