Time and narrative in climate litigation
Time is a challenge for applicants in negligence-based climate litigation. Climate change harm is a temporally complex phenomenon that demands attention to the past, present and future, including histories of colonialism. Negligence law, however, demands temporal boundaries be drawn in order, among other things, to place limits on the scope and content of one person’s duty to be careful of another. Decisions regarding what time frames are relevan…
From soft law to hard law in business and human rights and the challenge of corporate power
We introduce this symposium of articles by explaining the notions of hard and soft law, and reviewing UN developments on business and human rights in this light. We move to a more detailed discussion of existing hard law, particularly the state duty to protect, before examining examples of fulfilment of that duty via the domestication (especially the judicialization) of human rights norms for business. We also note the many pitfalls in contempora…

Against the backdrop of the SRSG's now completed mandate, this article looks at three recent developments in international criminal law…
Australian Prosecution of Corporations for International Crimes
On 1 July 2002 new provisions for the prosecution of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes came into operation within the Australian Commonwealth Criminal Code. The offences were introduced as a part of Australia’s ratification of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. Through the enactment of these crimes within the broader context of the Criminal Code, Australia has, perhaps unwittingly, created a basis to prosecute co…
