The author tries to analyze some of the moral and political dilemmas involved in this affair and makes some comparisons with later events, such as the fatwa on Salman Rushdie or the Cartoon Affair as featured in the latest satirical … Cornelia Moser Article Mon, 29 Apr 2013 09:33:17 +0200 http://www.anci.ch/beitrag/the_republican_tragedy_of_the_commons_the_inefficiency_of_democracy_in_the_light_of_climate_change Special Issue: International Law and Ethics Wallimann-Helmer Ivo This paper argues that an analysis of the dissatisfactory outcomes of international negotiations concerning climate change must take into account procedures of political decision‐making in democracies. Although the normative ideal of republican democracy has means of dealing with such dissatisfactory results, political processes in republican democracies take too much time and risk becoming stuck in tragic or dilemmatic decisio… Cornelia Moser international_law_and_ethics Mon, 22 Apr 2013 10:20:16 +0200 http://www.anci.ch/beitrag/beitrag_furger Special Issue: International Law and Ethics David Furger Gareth Norbury (Translation) In den letzten Jahrzehnten lässt sich eine Neufokussierung des völkerrechtlichen Sicherheitskonzepts beobachten. Sicherheit wird nicht länger nur als eine zwischenstaatliche, sondern auch als eine innerstaatliche bzw. überstaatliche Angelegenheit verstanden, welche die Souveränitätshülle des Staates zu durchdringen vermag und den Schutz des Individuums, einzeln oder als Teil der Gesellschaft, in den Vorder… Christa Stamm international_law_and_ethics Sun, 16 Dec 2012 13:37:32 +0200 http://www.anci.ch/beitrag/beitrag_macioce Article Fabio Macioce In this essay I will try to demonstrate that the principle of self‐determination is based on a formal and individualistic view of liberty rights. I also propose a different perspective that takes into account the relationships rather than the individual. I will show how this result can only be achieved through a different ascription of rights to individuals: in particular, I will try to demonstrate 1) that any social practices express specific values, 2) that these valu… Christa Stamm Article Fri, 07 Dec 2012 11:27:34 +0200 http://www.anci.ch/beitrag/globales_recht Synopsis Karl-Heinz Ladeur Alison Lewis (Translation) The development of a “global law” extending beyond the sphere of the state calls into question the references and limit‐concepts [Grenzbegriffe] which have previously been used to construct a kind of “unity of the legal system”. A challenge also arises as far as legal theory is concerned. Does there in fact exist any “world law” whose sources are not the previously acknowledged “sources of the law”? Is the law less effective than other s… Christa Stamm Synopsis Thu, 11 Oct 2012 07:13:27 +0200 http://www.anci.ch/beitrag/beitrag_besson Special Issue: International Law and Ethics Samantha Besson Alain Zysset The burgeoning of recent publications on human rights shows how fashionable an object of study international human rights have become lately, and this especially among philosophers and historians. Curiously, however, given that joint development, human rights theorists and human rights historians seem to be following separate paths, without much interaction between them besides historians ‘showcas[ing] the theoretical … Christa Stamm international_law_and_ethics Sun, 02 Sep 2012 08:40:22 +0200 http://www.anci.ch/beitrag/beitrag_teubner Synopsis Gunther Teubner Alison Lewis (Translation) Let us imagine that the man from the country in Kafka’s parable “Before the law” is not the human individual who has been delivered up to the force of institutionalised legalism (power, morality, religion etc), as we find in numerous Kafka interpretations with their somewhat over‐hasty role fixation. Let us suppose instead that he is a judge “from the country”, who – back there, in the country – has to deal with a legal case according to t… Christa Stamm Synopsis Wed, 18 Jul 2012 14:31:04 +0200 http://www.anci.ch/beitrag/lorenz_engi Special Issue: International Law and Ethics Lorenz Engi Gareth Norbury (Translation) Human rights have a legal and a moral side. In the context of this contribution and from the legal‐philosophical aspect, two characteristics are particularly important in the distinction between law and morals. Law is enacted and set forth in a formalised manner, while morals take effect in an informal way; and law is backed by an institutional system that guarantees sufficient dependability of enforcement … Christa Stamm international_law_and_ethics Thu, 28 Jun 2012 15:40:35 +0200 http://www.anci.ch/beitrag/start Special Issue: International Law and Ethics Anna Goppel Anne Schwenkenbecher Alison Lewis (Translation) This essay investigates the possibilities and limits of interdisciplinary research into terrorism. It is shown that approaches that combine philosophy and international law are necessary, and when such an approach needs to be adopted. However, it is also important not to underestimate how much of a challenge is posed by the absence of agreement concerning the definition of terrorism, and… Christa Stamm international_law_and_ethics Fri, 25 May 2012 10:17:09 +0200 http://www.anci.ch/beitrag/neu Comment Karl-Heinz Ladeur [Download as PDF] Christa Stamm Comment Sun, 25 Mar 2012 13:01:59 +0200 http://www.anci.ch/beitrag/new Synopsis Andreas Abegg Annemarie Thatcher (Translation) German legal literature on cooperation between the state and private persons in the 18th and early 19th centuries dealt almost exclusively with the legal form of government service. It is possible to observe that contractual agreements between the state and private persons in general and contractual agreements with civil servants in particular were accepted into neither of the self‐differentiating realms of public and private law, as b… Christa Stamm Synopsis Sun, 25 Mar 2012 12:44:43 +0200 http://www.anci.ch/beitrag/a Special Issue: International Law and Ethics Angelika Emmerich-Fritsche Allgemeinmenschliche Unrechtserfahrungen und globale Gefahren offenbaren die Notwendigkeit und Möglichkeit einer (holistischen) universalen ethischen Rechtsbegründung.

Sie zeigt sich im Völkerrecht vor allem in Form von Öffnungsklauseln, die ethischen Standards normative Relevanz einräumen, in Form von unverbindlichen Kodizes, die zu ethischem Handeln verpflichten, und in der Schaffung von Ethikgremien. Die Öffnung des Völkerrechts für ethische Wertvorstellungen widerspricht dem Charakte… Silja Vöneky international_law_and_ethics Wed, 18 Jan 2012 16:31:16 +0200 http://www.anci.ch/beitrag/s Special Issue: International Law and Ethics Marcel Senn Gareth Norbury (Translation) From an ethical perspective the existential conditions of humankind are non-negotiable. Fundamental law cannot therefore be created by will or consent. It is rather the existential necessity of life itself that forms the ethos of law. Fundamental law therefore logically differs from willed law.

The symbols of a great Western (legal-) society regressed into nothing more than shallow and abstract nationalisms; visions of a just community were transformed into the law of nation-focused social engineers on both sides of the iron curtain.

This principle of the legal and cultural scientist, Cornelia Vismann, applies to a law that again and again is threaten by the things, it wishes to treat. It regulates images and may just become visual. It regulates the force as a force by being it. It regulates the economics of property – peculiarly.

Meyer Gareth Norbury (Translation) This contribution is intended to show that Aristotle was the first European philosopher to provide a systematic analysis of the so-called accountability problem. In the third book of his Nicomachean Ethics, he lays particular stress on the central role of knowledge: deficiencies in the knowledge of the perpetrator mean that we do not hold him responsible for his actions, or only to a limited extent; he is thus either not at all, or only … Martin F.
