A Revolution through the Prism of Civil Liability
Series:
Ius Comparatum, Volume: 6
Editor:
The development of autonomous vehicles requires all the countries of the world to adapt their respective legal systems. The scale and complexity of the task is daunting. The law is called upon to enable and even encourage the advent of this revolution, while guaranteeing a fair allocation of the resulting risks and ensuring public safety. What's more, the law must rise to this challenge at a time when it is impossible to predict in the medium term the speed at which autonomous vehicles will enter circulation, or even their degree of autonomy.
Adapting civil liability law appears to be the key to success. Faced with the peculiarities of autonomous vehicles, many concepts on which current liability regimes are based will need rethinking. For instance, the complex manufacturing of driving systems multiplies the number of potential liable parties, and the "black box" effect associated with the operation of learning AI increases the burden of proof in the event of a failure.

Is the nature of international law today essentially different from the past five centuries, or does it reflect a gradual transformation within certain basic principles that remain unaltered? This book considers the profound structural changes of international law, in line with the requirements of globalization, and tracks the law’s evolution over the centuries with special regard to the dichotomy between idealism and pragmatism.
International law was the vocation and passion of Francisco Orrego Vicuña, who dedicated his life to the observation, study, teaching and practice of this important legal discipline. He was a privileged witness of the great advances and changes that international law has undergone in the last 50 years, and this book – with an Introduction by Rüdiger Wolfrum and Michael Wood and the assistance of Simon C. Milnes - is the result of years of work and research. It is, posthumously, his magnum opus.

Extraterritoriality is often understood as an exceptional, sometimes even illegitimate, form of state lawmaking—yet it is pervasive in contemporary practice. Countries around the world rely on extraterritorial regulation to protect local markets, in areas including competition law and data privacy. It is also recognized as a useful strategy to promote international human rights, and to address shared challenges as diverse as transnational crime, tax base erosion, and climate change. The normalization of extraterritoriality as a legal technique, however, has by no means resolved longstanding debates about its place in the international legal order. Containing in-depth studies of fifteen legal systems, this volume provides a critical comparative perspective on those debates.
