Inter-State Communications and Human Rights : Developments and Prospects /
:
Developments at the international level over the past 5 years have re-ignited the relevance of a mechanism that had remained dormant for decades: inter-state communications before UN treaty bodies. Under-utilised and, consequently, under-studied, inter-state communications allow States to bring cases against other States for violations of their human rights obligations. Given the strong human rights dimension of cases currently under consideration by the ICJ and other international disputes, as well as the numerous and significant cases being presently considered by human rights treaty bodies and other human rights courts, this edited volume seeks to consider the potential of inter-state communications for promoting and ensuring respect for human rights around the globe.

Small States and International Law /
:
International law can serve as both a sword and a shield for small States, including in the realisation of their rights on the international plane. While it can offer a mode of protection to small States and provide opportunities to engage with issues of global concern, international law may also present challenges and difficulties for small States in some contexts. The chapters in this edited volume explore small States' many and diverse interactions with international law in numerous contexts and fora and across a range of thematic areas and issues, including climate change, disarmament, technological development and human rights, amongst many others.
