Ever since the end of the Second World War, Japanese defense and security law has been shaped by the tension between the "peace article" of the Constitution and the political expectations of an operational force. The result is a complex network of statutory guidelines for the activities of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces. The book analyzes these regulations, with a focus on the particularly strictly regulated deployments abroad. Based on a comprehensive, structured presentation of the legal framework and of its implementation in prac-tice, it offers a critical analysis of Japanese defense and security law, putting an emphasis on the criteria of foreseeability and accountability. Seit dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs ist das japanische Wehrrecht von einem Spannungsverhältnis aus dem "Friedensartikel" der Verfassung und den politischen Erwartungen an eine einsatzfähige Truppe geprägt. Die Folge ist ein dichtes Netz einfachgesetzlicher Vorgaben für die Aktivitäten der japanischen Selbstverteidigungskräfte. Das Buch untersucht diese Vorgaben insbesondere mit Blick auf die - besonders streng regulierten - Auslandseinsätze. Auf der Grundlage einer umfassenden, strukturierten Darstellung des rechtlichen Rahmens und seiner Umsetzung in der Praxis unterzieht es das japanische Wehrrecht einer kritischen Analyse, für die es die Kriterien von Vorhersehbarkeit und Verantwortlichkeit in den Mittelpunkt rückt.

As the climate emergency intensifies, rights-based climate cases - litigation that is based on human rights law - are becoming an increasingly important tool for securing more ambitious climate action. This book is the first to offer a systematic analysis of the universe of these cases known as human rights and climate change (HRCC) cases. By combining theory, empirical documentation, and strategic debate among preeminent scholars and practitioners from around the world, the book captures the roots, legal innovations, empirical richness, impact, and challenges of this dynamic field of sociolegal practice. It looks specifically at the sociolegal origins and trajectory of HRCC cases, the legal innovations of this type of litigation, and the strategies and impacts of these cases. In doing so, this book equips litigators, researchers, practitioners, students, and concerned citizens with an understanding of an important method of holding governments and corporations accountable for climate harms. This book is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

L'action oblique, ou la faculté pour le créancier de préserver son droit de gage général en exerçant les droits et actions négligés par son débiteur, est de ces mécanismes simples que l'on n'interroge plus. Le simple toilettage du texte du Code civil opéré par l'ordonnance du 10 février 2016 conforte cette attitude. La stabilité de son analyse n'est cependant due qu'à d'insatisfaisants compromis. Irréductible à une qualification unique de mesure conservatoire ou de voie d'exécution, la protection du droit de gage général que poursuit le créancier est en réalité duale : le créancier de somme d'argent cherche tantôt à assurer l'efficacité ultérieure de son droit de saisie, tantôt à obtenir immédiatement paiement. Ces fonctions traditionnelles, pour lesquelles l'action oblique est inadaptée, coexistent aux côtés d'une fonction nouvelle : prémunir le créancier d'obligation en nature et le titulaire de droits assimilés de toute atteinte à leurs droits. Mécanisme d'exécution forcée par obligation tierce préexistante, elle peut alors être utilisée en lieu et place de la responsabilité délictuelle du débiteur défaillant à l'égard de certains tiers. Cette évolution de la fonction de l'action oblique était contenue en germe dans son mécanisme. Le renouveau des fonctions s'explique par un renouveau de l'analyse de sa nature. Autorisant l'exercice des droits d'autrui, l'action oblique ne repose pas sur la représentation mais sur un droit propre original de substitution. Sans qu'ils soient réellement modifiés, cette qualification confère une acception nouvelle au domaine et une justification inédite au régime de l'action oblique, et ce tant dans ses conditions que dans ses effets
