The relevance and importance of the rule of law to the international legal order cannot be doubted. Its significance was recently reaffirmed by the Declaration of the High-level Meeting of the General Assembly on the Rule of Law at the National and International Level, which made a solemn commitment to it on behalf of states and international organizations. In this edited collection, leading scholars and practitioners from the fields of global governance, resources, investment and trade, examine how the commitment to the rule of law manifests itself in the respective fields. The book looks at cutting-edge issues within each field and examines the questions arising from the interplay between them. With a clear three-part structure, it explores each area in detail and addresses contemporary challenges while trying to assure a commitment to the rule of law. The contributions also consider how the rule of law has been or should be reconceptualised. Taking a multi-disciplinary approach, the book will appeal to international lawyers from across the spectrum, including practitioners in the field of international investment and trade law.

In Permutations of Responsibility in International Law the concept of responsibility in international law is tackled from a multitude of angles. The various contributions, which emerged from the proceedings of the ILA Hellenic Branch Regional Conference (2012), examine both classical and modern issues relating to the nature of responsibility, both as responsibility for unlawful acts and liability for lawful acts, the multifariousness of actors whose actions (or omissions) may give rise to responsibility, and finally the plethora of responsibility-related issues that have emerged in different areas of international law, be it international law of the sea, trade and investment or human rights law.

Adoptée a l'unanimité par l'Assemblée générale des Nations Unies le 9 décembre 1948, la Convention sur la prévention et la répression du crime de génocide se place parmi les premiers instruments de l'après-guerre destines a défendre et a promouvoir les droits de l’homme, tout en présentant des caractéristiques singulières. Il s’agissait, en effet, de consacrer sur un plan juridique la notion dont la paternité revient a Raphaël Lemkin, matérialisant ainsi la réponse de la communauté internationale a l’horreur suscite par l’ampleur des atrocités commises au cours de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale. D'emblée, la Convention qualifie le génocide de «crime du droit des gens», contient une définition qui, malgré ses faiblesses, garde toute sa vitalité ayant été par la suite reprise telle qu’elle dans d’autres instruments, et instaure des moyens aux fins de sa répression et sa prévention. Le soixantième anniversaire de l’adoption de la Convention sur le génocide a fourni une occasion de réfléchir de nouveau sur l'évolution du droit au cours de cette période et de se pencher sur les divers aspects et questions qui continuent de préoccuper la communauté internationale autour du «crime des crimes». A cette occasion, la Branche hellénique de l’International Law Association et la Fondation Marangopoulos pour les droits de l’homme ont coorganisé un colloque international a Athènes, les 12 et 13 novembre 2008, ayant pour but de revoir les dispositions de la Convention a la lumière des développements récents. Les actes de la conférence, qui sont publies dans le présent volume en français ou en anglais selon le cas, fournissent un aperçu des principaux problèmes actuels en matière de génocide
