Labour rights set an example of handling such a disadvantaged political position by placing vital importance on workers' right to association and collective action.

Driven by technical progress, communication across borders became an everyday phenomenon demanding transnational cooperation and regulation. Whereas in the political field irregular conferences turned out to be an appropriate instrument for governing transnational cooperation, a more constant and institutionalised matter proved to be adequate for technical cooperation. In 1865, the International Telegraph Convention set up a relevant administrative union which merged in 1932 with the International Radiotelegraph Union from 1906 to form the newly labelled International Telecommunication Union (ITU). The parties to the ITU met regularly in so-called plenipotentiary conferences every 3 years. Already in 1875 the International Telegraph Convention was completely redrafted and the organisation's structure changed. The contracting parties created an instrument that paved the way for a modern form of international standard setting. The new, simplified convention contained only general provisions of a policy nature that would remain in effect for an "indeterminate length of time" (Art. 20), detailed rules of a transitory and specific nature that might be subject to frequent changes with the progress of technology were put into the "Regulations for international service" (also known as the Telegraph Regulations). The newly established "administrative conferences" attended by technical experts from the member states were responsible for revising the regulations when necessary. This was an early example of the transferral of power from sovereign nation states to an international organisation in order to govern transnational communication effectively. The administrative unions, as the first examples in modern history, show the ability of self-interested rational agents to overcome collective action dilemmas, i.e. situations where cooperation avoids sub-optimal outcomes for cooperators. The newly created institutions shaped a spirit of cooperation and the practice of standard setting proved that cooperation is effective. Furthermore, they show the spill-over effects of cooperation: increased cooperation in one area leads to increased cooperation in other areas.}, language = {de} } @article{Volger2019, author = {Volger, Helmut}, title = {Die Reform der Arbeitsmethoden des Sicherheitsrats}, series = {Potsdamer UNO-Konferenzen}, journal = {Potsdamer UNO-Konferenzen}, number = {13}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-86956-455-5}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-43152}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-431527}, pages = {109 -- 115}, year = {2019}, language = {de} } @phdthesis{Lenz2017, author = {Lenz, Susanne}, title = {Der konsularische Schutz}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-406069}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {288}, year = {2017}, abstract = {Anl{\"a}sslich der Zunahme von Entf{\"u}hrungen deutscher Staatsangeh{\"o}riger im Ausland und des im Jahr 2009 ergangenen Urteils des Bundesverwaltungsgerichts zu diesem Thema legt die vorliegende Arbeit eine detaillierte und umfassende Analyse der Rechtsgrundlagen f{\"u}r die Gew{\"a}hrung konsularischen Schutzes durch die Auslandsvertretungen der Bundesrepublik Deutschland vor.

However, it is Security Council Resolution 2165(2014), related to the situation in Syria, that has brought the role of the Security Council to the forefront of the debate. It is against this background that the article discusses the legal issues arising from Security Council action facilitating humanitarian assistance to be delivered in situations of non-international armed conflict. Following a brief survey of relevant practice of the Security Council related to humanitarian assistance, the article considers the relevance, if any, of Article 2(7) of the Charter of the United Nations (UN) to humanitarian assistance to be delivered in such situations. It then moves on to analyse whether a rejection by the territorial state of humanitarian aid to be delivered by third parties may amount to a situation under Article 39 of the UN Charter. It then considers in detail whether (at least implicitly) Resolution 2165 has been adopted under Chapter VII and, if this is not the case, whether it can be still considered to be legally binding. The article finally considers what impact the adoption of Security Council Resolution 2165 might have on the interpretation of otherwise applicable rules of international humanitarian law and, in particular, the right of third parties to provide humanitarian assistance in a situation of a non-international armed conflict in spite of the absence of consent by the territorial state, and the obligations that members of the Security Council, permanent and non-permanent, have under Common Article 1 of the Geneva Conventions when faced with a draft resolution providing for the delivery of humanitarian assistance, notwithstanding the absence of consent by the territorial state.}, language = {en} } @article{Zimmermann2016, author = {Zimmermann, Andreas}, title = {Finally...Or would rather less have been more?}, series = {Journal of International Criminal Justice}, volume = {14}, journal = {Journal of International Criminal Justice}, number = {3}, publisher = {Oxford University Press}, address = {Oxford}, doi = {10.1093/jicj/mqw012}, pages = {505 -- 517}, year = {2016}, abstract = {In November 2015, the 14th Session of the Assembly of States Parties to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC) adopted, by consensus, an amendment providing for the deletion of Article 124 of the ICC Statute, which so far enables contracting parties, when joining the Statute, to opt out from the ICC's treaty-based war crimes-related jurisdiction. After considering the genesis of the provision and the practice arising under Article 124 of the ICC Statute so far, this article considers the arguments for and against the deletion of Article 124 in light of the increasingly small number of accessions to the ICC Statute that have been forthcoming in the last few years. It also analyses the quite strict requirements for the entry into force of the amendment, as well as the effect of the entry into force of the amendment on possible declarations having been made pending such entry into force.
