In the second part, I will make some brief remarks on the practical implications of Art. 20a BL.

Hence, the continued need for rules governing, and limiting, the means and methods of warfare once an armed conflict has erupted. At the same time, the international community has unfortunately not been able so far to fully safeguard individual human rights, its efforts to that effect and the continuous development of international human rights law over the years notwithstanding.}, language = {en} } @article{ZimmermannWeiss2020, author = {Zimmermann, Andreas and Weiß, Norman}, title = {V{\"o}lker- und verfassungsrechtliche Parameter eines deutschen Lieferkettengesetzes}, series = {Archiv des V{\"o}lkerrechts}, volume = {58}, journal = {Archiv des V{\"o}lkerrechts}, number = {4}, publisher = {Mohr Siebeck}, address = {T{\"u}bingen}, issn = {0003-892X}, doi = {10.1628/avr-2020-0028}, pages = {424 -- 463}, year = {2020}, abstract = {Currently a political debate is ongoing in Germany as to whether Germany should, following the example of several other European countries such as France and the Netherlands, adopt a Supply Chain Act (Lieferkettengesetz). If adopted, the act in question would impose due diligence obligations on German corporations to prevent human rights violations taking place in their respective global supply chains. It is against this background that the article examines the preconditions that must be met in order for such act to be eventually compatible with both, German constitutional and international law. The authors further deal with the question whether Germany might even be obliged under international, as well as under German constitutional law, to enact such a supply chain law in order to protect the human rights of workers employed by companies forming part of the global supply chains of German companies. As far as German constitutional law is concerned the article notably deals with the question whether it is the Federal parliament that may adopt such a law also taking into account the competencies of the European Union in the field, and what are the requirements of legal specificity and proportionality in order for the draft law to stand constitutional scrutiny. The authors further offer detailed suggestions how corporate due diligence standards might be best provided for in the envisaged law and propose a risk analysis approach that varies not only according to specific countries and sector-specific characteristics, but that by the same token also takes into account the ability of the respective German company to exercise an appropriate due diligence standard when it comes to human rigths issues arising within the framewok of their supply chain. As far as the substantive human rights standards are concerned that should serve as benchmarks for the envisaged Supply Chain Act the authors propose to rely on, and refer to, those instruments such as the ICCPR and the CESCR, as well as the ILO treaties containing core labour standards, that enjoy almost universal acceptance and reflect customary international law.}, language = {de} } @misc{Weiss2023, author = {Weiß, Norman}, title = {Hasan Hasanović, Screbrenica {\"u}berleben (aus dem Englischen {\"u}bersetzt von Filip Radunović), erschienen im Wallstein-Verlag, G{\"o}ttingen 2022, 104 Seiten, ISBN 978-3-8353-5260-5}, series = {MenschenRechtsMagazin}, volume = {28}, journal = {MenschenRechtsMagazin}, number = {1}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, issn = {2941-1149}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-58791}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-587917}, pages = {85 -- 86}, year = {2023}, language = {de} } @misc{CaspariCzubaikoStilletal.2023, author = {Caspari, Catharina and Czubaiko, Achim and Still, Melina and Valc, Jakub and Mienert, Navin and Buser, Andreas and Weiß, Norman}, title = {MenschenRechtsMagazin : MRM ; Informationen, Meinungen, Analysen}, volume = {28}, number = {1}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, issn = {2941-1149}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-58477}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-584771}, pages = {87}, year = {2023}, abstract = {Aus dem Inhalt: - Menschenrechtsklagen vor Zivilgerichten in Deutschland - Eine Bestandsaufnahme der methodisch-rechtspolitischen Ans{\"a}tze im Internationalen Privatrecht (IPR) - Das Vorsorgeprinzip - ein untersch{\"a}tzter Bestandteil menschenrechtlicher Klimaklagen? - Der Menschenrechtsausschuss der Vereinten Nationen und die Klimakrise - Die Entscheidung Billy et al. gegen Australien und ihr Beitrag zur „Begr{\"u}nung" des Menschenrechtsschutzes}, language = {de} } @article{WeissLanzl2022, author = {Weiß, Norman and Lanzl, Theresa}, title = {Die wechselvolle Geschichte der Mitgliedschaft Russlands im Europarat}, series = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r ausl{\"a}ndisches {\"o}ffentliches Recht und V{\"o}lkerrecht}, volume = {82}, journal = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r ausl{\"a}ndisches {\"o}ffentliches Recht und V{\"o}lkerrecht}, number = {4}, publisher = {Nomos}, address = {Baden-Baden}, issn = {0044-2348}, doi = {10.17104/0044-2348-2022-4-801}, pages = {801 -- 829}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Der russische Angriffskrieg auf die Ukraine hat auch die Europ{\"a}ische Menschenrechtsarchitektur ins Wanken gebracht.

Seit dem Beitritt vor 26 Jahren haben Konfrontationen die - oftmals kurzen- Phasen der Kooperation {\"u}berschattet.

Der Beitrag legt zudem die rechtlichen Grundlagen von Beitritt und Ende der Mitgliedschaft dar und untersucht, wie sich der Ausschluss auf die Anwendbarkeit der Europ{\"a}ischen Menschenrechtskonvention (EMRK) auswirkt. Der Ausschluss Russlands stellt einen Wendepunkt dar. Zwar wird damit ein potenziell gef{\"a}hrlicher Pr{\"a}zedenzfall geschaffen. Jedoch entsteht durch die geschlossene Reaktion der restlichen Mitgliedstaaten auch ein Momentum f{\"u}r Reformen und eine R{\"u}ckbesinnung auf das Gr{\"u}ndungsziel des Europarates - die kollektive Durchsetzung der Menschenrechte.}, language = {de} } @article{WeissZimmermann2022, author = {Weiß, Norman and Zimmermann, Andreas}, title = {Remarks on the relationship between international human rights law and international humanitarian law}, publisher = {Edward Elgar Publishing}, address = {Cheltenham ; Northampton, MA}, isbn = {978-1-83910-826-6}, doi = {10.4337/9781839108273}, pages = {1 -- 10}, year = {2022}, language = {en} } @book{WeissVerlaanVasquezCarruthersetal.2022, author = {Weiß, Norman and Verlaan, Stephanie and Vasquez Carruthers, Juan Francisco and Mair, Theresa and Conner, Sean and Maaser, Lucas and R{\"o}thlisberger, Livia}, title = {Transitional Justice}, series = {Potsdamer Studien zu Staat, Recht und Politik}, journal = {Potsdamer Studien zu Staat, Recht und Politik}, number = {7}, editor = {Weiß, Norman}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-86956-473-9}, issn = {1869-2443}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-43171}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-431711}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {194}, year = {2022}, abstract = {This publication deals with the topic of transitional justice.
