    In February 2011, 2 an uprising began in Benghazi in eastern Libya against the long-established Gaddafi 3 Government. After initial military success by the rebels in the east, the government responded forcefully. In the light of threats made by the government to the lives of people in Benghazi, the Security Council authorized ‘any necessary measures’ to protect civilian lives in Libya and to enforce a no-fly zone over Libya's air space. 4 Acting …

    Open AccessColin Warbrick, Zeray Yihdego et al.ARTICLEInternational and Comparative Law…2007Citada por: 4Referências: 5

    Somalia has been without government since 1991. A transitional government was established in 2004 under the presidency of Abdullahi Yusuf, with the backing of the United Nations, the African Union (AU), the Arab League and the Inter-governmental Agency for Development (IGAD). The Government sat in Baidoa in southern Somalia from June 2005 until December 2006. In June 2006 the Union of Islamic Courts (UIC) took control of much of southern and cent…

  • I. Recent Developments in UK Extradition Law

    Open AccessColin WarbrickARTICLEInternational and Comparative Law…2007Citada por: 1Referências: 8

    In July 2006, three bankers, all UK nationals, were extradited to the United States on charges of conspiracy to defraud their one-time employers, a British bank, a subsidiary of Natwest. The conduct took place under the shadow of the ‘Enron’ affair. The defendants were said to have conspired with senior officials of Enron. Enron was the subject of the largest corporate bankruptcy in US history. In comparison the sums involved in the Enron collaps…

  • I. Conflicts of Criminal Jurisdiction

    Open AccessColin Warbrick, Kate Brookson-MorrisARTICLEInternational and Comparative Law…2007Referências: 2

    The expansion of claims of extended territorial and extraterritorial criminal legislative jurisdiction and the increasing facility with which States are able to obtain custody over defendants by way of more effective extradition arrangements is leading to a new problem in transnational criminal law. The result of these developments is that more than one State may have legitimate jurisdiction to legislate for the same conduct and the courts of mor…

    The texts of two brief judgments by district judges at Bow Street are reproduced below. In each case, an application was made for proceedings against a serving foreign official to answer allegations in England of conduct which constituted crimes against international law which were within the jurisdiction of the English court, even though committed abroad and by non-UK nationals. In each case, the judge decided that the official was protected by …

    The World Summit on Sustainable Development took place in Johannesburg from 26 August to 4 September 2002. Its intended purpose was to hold a ten-year review of the 1992 UN Conference on Environment and Development (Rio Summit) in order to rein-vigorate the global commitment to sustainable development. 1 Perhaps attempting to duplicate the products of other international meetings, national governments agreed to negotiate and adopt two documents: …

    On 11 September 2001, four aircraft on internal flights within the United States were seized by passengers who crashed two of them into the World Trade Centre in New York and another into the Pentagon, Washington DC, the other falling into open land in Pennsylvania. The men who seized the planes were all non-US nationals. The total loss of life was over 3,000, including a number of UK citizens. The economic consequences were hardly calculable. Re…

  • II. International Law in English Court—Recent Cases

    Open AccessColin Warbrick, Dominic McgoldrickARTICLEInternational and Comparative Law…2003

    The Orthodox position on the legal effect of treaties in English law is easy to state. Treaties are entered into by the Executive acting under prerogative powers. The exercise of these powers is not, even in the post- GCHQ 2 dispensation, a matter within the jurisdiction of the courts, so that the desirability of entering into a treaty cannot be challenged in the courts. 3 However, since any prerogative power must be exercised campatibly with leg…

  • The United Nations and the Principles of International Law

    Vaughan Lowe, Colin WarbrickBOOKUnited Nations and the Principles…2002

    With the fall of communism and the appearance of a new world order, it is hoped that the United Nations will become the principle organisation for the regulation of relations between states as well as for the settlement of conflict. The recent crises over Iraq and the continued bloodshed in the former Yugoslavia have ensured a higher profile for the United Nations but have at the same time placed great pressure on that organisation to resolve con…

    Although a few States ratified the Rome Statute for the International Criminal Court 1 soon after it was promulgated, the UK decided to prepare and pass implementing legislation prior to submitting its ratification. In England and Wales (and Northern Ireland), 2 the ICC Statute is implemented by the International Criminal Court Act 2001, 3 which came fully into force on 1 September 2001. 4 The UK ratified the ICC Statute on 4 October 2001, fulfil…

    The European Court of Human Rights has decided in the last three years five cases dealing with state or international immunities. 1 Although the facts differed, the arguments of the applicants were much the same. They contended that allowing a foreign State or an international organisation to claim immunity in a civil action in proceedings in the defendant State violated the applicants' rights to access to a court for the determination of a civil…

  • Brownlie's principles of public international law

    Colin WarbrickARTICLEEuropean Journal of International…2000Citada por: 1

    The first edition of Professor Ian Brownlie's Principles of Public International Law was published in 1966. It is now in its fifth edition. The book covers the major aspects of the law of peace. Its structure has not greatly changed since the first edition. It is well established as a student textbook and it is a work of authority. The book is well known for its disavowal of the treatment of the basis of obligation in international law, though Br…

  • Judicial Jurisdiction and Abuse of Process

    Open AccessColin WarbrickARTICLEInternational and Comparative Law…2000Referências: 3

    British cases used to be widely relied upon to show that courts were entitled to hear criminal proceedings against defendants brought before them without having to enquire into the process by which custody over them had been obtained: and specifically, that there was no bar to proceeding where the allegation was made that custody had been obtained in breach of international law. 1 The consistency of the doctrine was breached by Mackeson 2 when th…

    In 1991 the United Kingdom became a Party to the 1988 United Nations Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances, one of the purposes of which is “to improve international co-operation in the suppression of illicit traffic by sea”. 1 Article 17 of that Convention has, as its central purpose, the establishment of international standards, procedures and practices designed to facilitate the obtaining of enforceme…

  • Current Developments

    Open AccessColin WarbrickARTICLEInternational and Comparative Law…2000Citada por: 1Referências: 2

    The process of constitutional reform in the United Kingdom instituted by the present Labour government has been considerable but it has proceeded on a piecemeal basis. Its aim is to reinforce accountability for the exercise of public power but, in the absence of a comprehensive scheme of reform, the achievement of this ambition has the same lack of coherence as the reform programme itself. Some matters remain untouched by the process, centrally a…

  • I. Ospar Decision 98/3 and the Dumping of Offshore Installations

    In September 1997 the government of the United Kingdom announced new policies on the dumping of offshore installations. The new policies centred on a general prohibition of dumping of offshore installations for all but those instances where there was absolutely no alternative. 1 They were presented as a sea change from the policies of the previous Conservative government which had required each case to be assessed on its merits and were hailed by…

  • III. Extradition Law Aspects of Pinochet 3

    Open AccessColin Warbrick, Dominic Mcgoldrick et al.ARTICLEInternational and Comparative Law…1999Referências: 2

    The prominence of the immunity issue in Pinochet 1 2 rather obscured the fact that the proceedings were ultimately about extradition. Perhaps that was how it should have been because immunity questions are recognised as preliminary matters, going to the very competence of a court to hear and determine the substantive claim. However, there can be questions which are, as it were, even more preliminary than ones about immunity. One example is where …

  • The First Pinochet Case

    Open AccessColin Warbrick, Dominic Mcgoldrick et al.ARTICLEInternational and Comparative Law…1999Citada por: 3Referências: 1

    The case of Pinochet has aroused enormous interest, both political and legal. The spectacle of the General, whose regime sent so many to their deaths, himself under arrest and standing trial has stirred the hopes of the oppressed. His reversal of fortune, loss of liberty with a policeman, on the door, has been heralded by organisations for the protection of human rights as one small step on the long road to justice. For lawyers generally, the Hou…

    The Lords were not lost in admiration of section 20 of the State Immunity Act 1978. Lord Browne-Wilkinson described it as “strange” and “baffling”. It is certainly true that (as Lord Browne-Wilkinson continued) “Parliament cannot have intended to give heads of state and former heads of state greater rights than they already enjoyed under international law”. 1 Nor was it intended that their rights should be inadvertently curtailed. The State Immun…
