Compliance and Allocation of Responsibilities in Interpol Practice
INTERPOL is recognized as an international organization with legal personality, a permanent structure, and independent decision-making authority. Its operational core lies in facilitating international police cooperation, primarily through the exchange and processing of data related to criminal matters. The present essay develops a working concept of shared responsibility in this particular context
L’effectivité du droit international face à l’urgence écologique
Le droit international de l’environnement, souvent présenté comme un droit empreint de jeunesse, a en fait atteint une certaine maturité. Né dans la mouvance de la Conférence des Nations unies sur l’environnement humain qui s’est tenue à Stockholm en juin 1972, il s’est depuis considérablement développé au gré de l’adoption de nombreux accords et instruments de portée régionale et universelle. Les attentes sont maintenant tournées vers la nécessi…
Fresh Water in International Law
This book, now in its second edition, addresses the diverse ways in which international law governs the uses, management, and protection of fresh water. The regulation of fresh water has primarily developed through the conclusion of treaties concerning international watercourses. Yet a number of other legal regimes also apply to the governance of fresh water. In particular, there has been an increasing recognition of the importance of fresh water…

International economic law and the quest for universality
The quest for universality in international economic law has met many obstacles. This article begins from the proposition that there are various ways to conceive of universality in international law, for example whether the rules are accepted widely among states (omnipresence) or whether they are broadly coherent (generality). Homing in on trade and investment law, the article assesses how each of these areas has functioned as a testing ground fo…

Relations with Other International Organizations
This chapter focuses on the relationships between international organizations (IOs). IOs may exchange information or participate in their respective fora of discussion. They can establish institutional arrangements to implement a given activity and provide a framework for common purposes. They can also receive logistical, material, or financial aid from each other for operational purposes. The establishment of public-private partnerships allows I…
The Regulation of the Global Water Services Market
Drinking water and wastewater services must be provided to many sectors of a nation's economy, including its industrial, commercial, and residential sectors. This forms the scope of the water industry's activities and it explains why the privatisation of water sanitation and water services has become a huge market and a much-debated issue in a number of jurisdictions. Historically the water industry has been run as a public service which is owned…
Plurality in the Fabric of International Courts and Tribunals
This rejoinder clarifies some aspects of my Foreword article, ‘Plurality in the Fabric of International Courts and Tribunals: The Threads of a Managerial Approach’, that may have been misconceived, such as the connection with the discourse of ‘managerialism’. It also expands on the role that international adjudicators, states and litigants must play in preventing chaos as well as highlighting what is now a real challenge, namely the rise of polit…
Plurality in the Fabric of International Courts and Tribunals
Starting from the observation that there has long been -and continues to be -a preference for a plurality of international courts and tribunals, this article explores the emerging threads of a managerial approach in the fabric of international dispute settlement due to the increased number of fora in recent years. It argues that, while plurality remains the choice, both judges and states are actors in efforts to order this plurality as the need f…

Functionalism! Functionalism! Do I Look Like Functionalism
In his EJIL Foreword, Jan Klabbers argues that the contemporary application of functionalism, understood as organizations being assigned functions, in order both to realize the common good and to deepen inter-state cooperation, is something of a theoretical straitjacket. However, can functionalism really be described as a 'one-size-fits-all' concept? It is the contention of this Comment that there are, in fact, different manifestations of the con…

Balancing the Scales
The evolution over the years of the mandates and missions of international organizations has reached an important milestone with the emergence and multiplication in the last decade of procedures and mechanisms having a direct impact on individuals and companies. This has gone together with the call for the creation of international remedies with judicial features. International organizations, including the World Bank, have established sanctions m…

Unilateralism and environmental protection
Unilateralism is a notion devoid of legal meaning per se, but provides a prism or conceptual tool through which international activities may be apprehended and subsequently allocated their place in the international legal order. Unilateralism is nonetheless harnessed by the law and at times its applications infringe the law. Having first questioned the novelty of the unilateralism/environment debate, this article proceeds to consider two aspects …
