Determining the Regulatory and Private Law Rules Governing the Blockchain
Author:
The blockchain is the world’s first truly global mechanism for the transfer and storage of value. The distribution of its nodes all around the world and the resulting ‘omniterritorial’ nature of the blockchain create enormous challenges for the law. This book discusses the technological and philosophical underpinnings of the new crypto phenomena. It describes the varying approaches of regulators of different states to capture these phenomena with traditional or new rules. It also addresses the difficulties in determining the applicable private law, in particular the property rules governing virtual assets. The book showcases the conflicts, issues and problems that result from overlapping national rules and suggests avenues for their solution.

Ce cours général aborde le droit international par le biais du concept sociologique de « champ juridique international ». Ce concept fait référence à deux dimensions, qui représentent chacune une déclinaison des approches critiques du droit international. D’une part, le droit international est considéré comme un « champ de bataille », avec des luttes entre acteurs qui tentent d’affirmer et d’imposer leurs propres interprétations des règles juridiques. D’autre part, le « champ juridique international » fait référence à un « champ de tensions » entre différents principes qui composent le discours juridique, comme la souveraineté et les droits humains, l’intégrité territoriale et l’autodétermination, l’Etat et la communauté internationale. Ces deux dimensions sont traitées à partir de questions juridiques d’actualité : droits des peuples et des minorités, reconnaissance d’Etat, droits des femmes, droits des migrants, dérèglement climatique, crimes internationaux, exécutions extrajudiciaires, débats sur la licéité d’interventions militaires, etc.

August Reinisch: The Settlement of Disputes Involving International Organizations
This book deals with the various aspects of the settlement of disputes involving international organizations. It provides a comprehensive overview of the different forms of disputes on the international level, mostly arising from headquarters issues between states and international organizations, but it also sheds light on less well-known forms of disputes between members and non-members with international organizations which are settled before such diverse mechanisms like the WTO, ITLOS or regional international economic organization adjudication or arbitration. It addresses negotiation, mediation and fact-finding as well as adjudicatory means of dispute settlement. The book then analyses the most important forms of the settlement of disputes with private parties, ranging from international courts, administrative tribunals, and arbitral tribunals to national courts and their limited role because of the jurisdictional immunity regularly enjoyed by international organizations. Based on this overview, issues like access to justice, the limited jurisdiction of courts and tribunals, due process and adequate forms of dispute settlement are discussed, and some policy recommendations are made.

Author:
Criticism of colonial justifications has been familiar since the age of Sepúlveda and Las Casas. Yet today it is said that international law is, and always was, an instrument of colonialism. It is true that the ius gentium and the Law of Nations failed to prevent colonialism and were used in fact to justify colonialism. Still, such failures which occurred over the successive periods of European colonization of non-European peoples did not implicate the whole of international law thought. That is just a modern exaggeration, but rather than repair the international law that we have, for example in our discussions about colonial reparation, some now wish us to reject international law altogether. In seeking to cast present-day criticisms in a proper light, these lectures at the Hague Academy had discussed the more notable literature, including in judgments and arbitral awards, from the time of the classic works that are connected to the history of the subject to the present day. Now presented in pocketbook form the objective is the same; which is to explain the aims and methods of post-colonial criticism, and to reject the view that it is too late for international law.

The Principle Jura Novit Curia in International Judicial and Arbitral Proceedings, A Window on International Adjudication, by Attila M. TANZI, Professor at the University of Bologna
These lectures focus on one of the aspects of adjudicative discretion in international litigation and on the rules and principles that constraint it. Namely, on the boundaries of the freedom of international courts and tribunals within which they may apply the applicable law to the dispute by distancing themselves from the legal arguments advanced by the parties. Jura novit curia is researched in combination with the cognate principles ne ultra petita, ne infra petita and non liquet. The analysis goes to the core of the adjudicative function, whose rationale emerges as threefold, thus, entailing a threefold application of jura novit curia: i.e., within the inter-state, human rights, and criminal law adjudicative contexts. The overarching procedural principle of the right of the parties to be heard appears to legitimise maximum utilization of jura novit curia in all three contexts, thus, suggesting enhancing interactive proactivity from the bench.

Les blockchains et les crypto-actifs, c'est-à-dire les crypto-monnaies et les jetons, posent des défis de premier ordre au droit international. En l'absence d'un lien significatif avec un État particulier, ils semblent échapper à l'empire du droit étatique, en accord avec les ambitions de leurs créateurs. Ce cours décrit tout d'abord les bases technologiques des registres distribués ainsi que la philosophie anti-étatiste sous-jacente. Ensuite, il met en exergue les dangers créés par la technologie, tant pour les intérêts publics que privés. Des alternatives à la régulation par l'État, telles que la théorie du « code fait loi » (code is law) ou la lex cryptographia, sont discutées et finalement rejetées. Au contraire, ce cours met l’accent sur les diverses méthodes permettant de déterminer le cadre juridique applicable, tant dans le domaine du droit public de la réglementation que dans celui du droit privé. Il plaide en faveur d'une uniformisation croissante des règles et d'une coopération accrue entre les États dans ce domaine, afin d’assurer à la fois le développement de la technologie et la protection des intérêts publics et privés. Sur la base d'une étude comparative et internationale détaillée, de nouvelles règles spécifiques pour les acteurs, les transactions et les actifs de la crypto économie sont alors proposées en vue d'atteindre un nouvel équilibre entre droit et technologie.

Making Sense of Soft Law, by E. HEY, Professor at the Erasmus University Rotterdam
These lectures explore how soft law instruments contribute to the development of normativity. They illustrate that the (re)construction of normativity is the outcome of the interaction between soft law instruments and between soft law instruments and hard law. These interactions take place in institutional settings, established by both soft and hard law instruments. These institutional settings, in turn, provide the decision-making process by way of which substantive normativity is (re)constructed at various points in time and in a variety of institutional settings. Three categories of soft law instruments are identified: soft law instruments that provide input for developing legally relevant infrastructure, soft law instruments that are part of legally relevant infrastructure, and soft law instruments that are part of regulation. In legally relevant infrastructure, the aim is to regulate the activities of States. In regulation, the aim is to regulate human activity, even if the addressees of the regulations are States.
The Inviolabilities of the Diplomatic Mission, by G. R. B. GALINDO, Associate Professor at the University of Brasilia
Not only persons, but also the diplomatic mission enjoys inviolabilities that require from the receiving state a duty of abstention and a duty of protection.
This course aims to depict different inviolabilities of the diplomatic mission (the premises, the archives and documents, and the official correspondence) and similar regimes of protection (communication and the diplomatic bag). Moreover, the application of circumstances precluding wrongfulness on what regards the inviolabilities of the diplomatic mission and similar regimes of protection as well as the relationship between the inviolability of the diplomatic premises and diplomatic asylum are scrutinized.
It is contended that the inviolabilities of the diplomatic mission are a fundamental and essential piece of past and present diplomatic law and international law in general.
Le droit international du désarmement : entre idéalisme et réalisme, par J. M. GOMEZ-ROBLEDO, juge à la Cour internationale de Justice
Ce cours retrace l´histoire du droit international du désarmement nucléaire, tant dans la perspective des accords bilatéraux entre les deux grandes puissances dotées de l´arme atomique (les États-Unis et l´Union Soviétique suivie de la Fédération de Russie), que dans celle des traités multilatéraux, à vocation universelle et régionale, qui ont pour but la non-prolifération et la cessation de la course aux armements nucléaires en partant d´approches différentes mais complémentaires. Il en ressort la conviction de la communauté internationale d´œuvrer en vue de l´interdiction de l´arme nucléaire, afin de parvenir à un monde libre de l´arme qui a la capacité, comme nulle autre, d´éliminer toute forme de vie sur la planète. Dans cette quête, la nature unique de cette arme et ses conséquences humanitaires catastrophiques conduisirent à l´émergence d´une opinio juris communis qui précéda l´établissement de la règle de droit conventionnel au bout de laquelle son interdiction est finalement réalisée.

Olivier Corten, Le champ juridique international
Plutôt que de le concevoir comme un système ordonné de règles ou comme le produit des besoins ou des aspirations de la communauté internationale, ce cours appréhende le droit international par référence à la notion de « champ juridique », inspirée de la pensée de Pierre Bourdieu. Un champ de tensions entre concepts par définition inconciliables : reconnaissance déclarative ou constitutive, droit dur ou droit mou, légalité ou effectivité, … Un champ de luttes entre acteurs (États, peuples, entreprises, individus, …) qui tendent à imposer leurs conceptions du juste ou à faire prévaloir leurs intérêts. Sont dans cette perspective envisagées diverses problématiques contemporaines : droits des femmes, des migrations ou du dérèglement climatique, crimes internationaux (génocide, terrorisme, écocide, … ), justifications des guerres, des exécutions judiciaires ou de la torture. Le droit international est ainsi étudié à la fois dans sa dimension technique, faites de débats juridiques pointus portant sur son interprétation, et dans sa dimension plus sociologique visant à le replacer dans son contexte politique.
