This book explores aetiology as a tool for thinking, and draws attention to the paradoxical structure of origin stories. Aetiologies r…

This monograph demonstrates not only that rules of customary international law can be interpreted but…

International Law and Sexual Violence in Armed Conflicts
Sexual violence is a particular brand of evil that women have endured—more than men—during armed conflicts, through the ages. It is a menace that has continued to challenge the conscience of humanity—especially in our times. At the international level, basic laws aimed at preventing it are not in short supply. What is needed is a more conscious determination to enforce existing laws. This…
