AbstractCases involving the posting of workers will inevitably involve international elements and therefore issues of private international law. Historically, it has been assumed that English employment law is territorial: in particular section 204 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 provides that the provisions of the Act apply irrespective of the law applicable to the contract. This contribution examines this proposition through the perspective of private international law principles, and also considers the compatibility of section 204 with the private international law rules in the Posted Workers Directive and the new definition of overriding mandatory rules in the Rome I Regulation.

Open economy macroeconomic models generally overlook the effects of
international migration and remittances on income and welfare. A
two‐country temporary equilibrium model is presented which incorporates
trade theoretic elements of international migration and remittances. In
the model, an expansionary incomes, or a trade, policy by the host
country induces migration, while expansionary demand policies in the
source country discourage migration. In all cases, however, when some
degree of international migration exists, potential income and welfare
gains to both countries induced by such policies exceed the equivalent
policy gains where international migration and remittances are absent.

How does China's new growth model affect sub-Saharan Africa? To address this question, this paper first looks at the growing ties between China and Africa; attempts to estimate more precisely the impact on growth through the trade channel; and finally draws some policy implications regarding whether this means an end of the Africa Rising narrative or merely the beginning of a new chapter

"Since 9/11, counterterrorism has become a national and international priority. Research on violent extremism and terrorism, from homegrown threats to foreign fighters, has adapted accordingly but has not always translated into policymaking. Extremism can be traced to no single cause, and yet governments and law-enforcement agencies continue to spend millions on prevention efforts. Contributors to this book identify persistent challenges for counterterrorism and countering violent extremism and provide analysis from a variety of academic and professional perspectives. Countering Violent Extremism and Terrorism cautions against adopting a causal model to understand violent extremism and takes a critical look at how states have managed to cope with the global phenomenon of terrorism. By drawing on the expertise of researchers and practitioners from government, law enforcement, and the military, contributors identify past failures and offer guidance on how to correct these mistakes. With the collective goal of developing more effective strategies, the authors dispel common myths, discard counterproductive tactics, and point to countries in which policies have functioned as intended. As some terrorist organizations' influence wanes, others innovate and thrive, further challenging a state apparatus that is slow to adapt to these mutating threats. An essential and timely book, Countering Violent Extremism and Terrorism seeks to change how governments and policymakers consider and respond to security threats."

The article examines the problems associated with the international legal framework for bringing to responsibility for damage caused by war crimes. First of all, it should be noted that the use of force is required to hold states accountable during armed conflicts; the presence of an act of aggression; the existence of a violation of international humanitarian law and a violation or non-observance of human rights. With regard to international liability for damage caused to individuals in the course of international armed conflicts, it is necessary to determine which norms of international law are potentially violated and what is the legal basis for applying such liability to states.In its decisions, the International Court of Justice has repeatedly drawn attention to the obligation of states that have violated their obligations under international law to compensate for the damage caused by such violations. According to the draft articles on the responsibility of states, any international offense by a state entails the responsibility of those states to which the responsible state is obliged to provide full compensation for damage caused by an international offense.

The International Court of Justice (Court or ICJ) delivered three judgments in 2015. The first, delivered on February 3, 2015, determines claims of genocide made by Croatia and Serbia against each other. The second, delivered on September 24, 2015, addresses Chile's preliminary objection in a case brought against it by Bolivia, which asserted that Chile had violated its obligation to negotiate in good faith to secure Bolivia's sovereign access to the Pacific Ocean. The third, delivered on December 16, 2015, concerns the joined cases brought by Costa Rica and Nicaragua, each party alleging territorial violations and transboundary environmental harms by the other. This review highlights notable points of interest in the judgments and draws attention to particular insights and critiques afforded by the individual opinions that accompany each judgment.
