E-raamat: Access to Domestic Justice for Violations of International Law: Seeking Accountability for External State Action

International law cannot do without domestic justice. This study presents the space thats still available for meaningful domestic implementation of individual rights, a space that - in todays world where sovereignty claims and military operations are on the rise - must be used. -- Liesbeth Zegveld, Prakken dOliveira Human Rights Lawyers Coöperatief U.A, the Netherlands This is a valuable contribution to improving domestic international law litigation. It effectively challenges the often arbitrary distinction between domestic and extraterritorial cases, offering a compelling case for a broader recognition of access rights. The study can help enhance the role of courts in adjudicating international law claims when state action has adverse effects on individuals abroad. -- André Nollkaemper, University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands Courts may no longer fend off legal claims of individuals harmed in armed conflict but are obliged to explain themselves when they dismiss arguable claims. This study is brilliantly argued, highly creative, yet doctrinally sound, and grounded in positive law. Both of deep conceptual interest and practical added value. -- Anne Peters, Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and Public International Law, Germany
