T2  - KFG Working Paper Series
N2  - The German-Italian dispute over the scope of sovereign immunities and claims of reparations for war crimes committed by German armed forces during World War II in Italy is in many ways specific and historically contingent. At the same time, it touches upon a number of fundamental challenges which the international community has to address in the interest of furthering the international rule of law. In this working paper both authors address the question whether the current law of sovereign immunities should be changed or interpreted in a manner as to allow for exceptions from State immunities in cases of grave violations of human rights. While the first part of the paper focusses on the perspective of general international law the second part addresses the question through the lense of European law. Both authors agree that unilateral efforts to push for what many consider a progressive development of international law actually may entail adverse effects for the international rule of law and thus may even contribute to a broader crisis of the international legal order.

T1  - Rechtsentwicklungen im vereinten Deutschland
T3  - Potsdamer Studien zu Staat, Recht und Politik
N2  - Der Band enthält die Vorträge einer Konferenz vom November 2009 in Potsdam. Die Texte untersuchen anhand ausgewählter Beispiele die Entwicklungen der zurückliegenden zwanzig Jahre im Zivilrecht, Strafrecht und öffentlichen Recht. Die Bundesrepublik Deutschland sieht sich seit der Wiedervereinigung und dem Ende des Kalten Krieges in einer ganz neuen Situation. Dies gilt für den völkerrechtlichen Rahmen ihrer Außenpolitik, für den Wettbewerb der Rechtsordnungen, für die mit erhöhter Dynamik fortschreitende europäische Einigung und ihre Konsequenzen. Die bei der Grundrechtsinterpretation im Mehrebenensystem auftauchenden Divergenzen und die Auswirkungen technischer Neuerungen auf das Sozialverhalten prägen Rechtswirklichkeit und Rechtsdogmatik.

T1  - A Metamorphosis of International Law?
BT  - Value changes in the international legal order from the perspectives of legal and political science
T2  - KFG Working Paper Series
N2  - The paper aims to lay out a framework for evaluating value shifts in the international legal order for the purposes of a forthcoming book. In view of current contestations it asks whether we are observing yet another period of norm change (Wandel) or even a more fundamental transformation of international law – a metamorphosis (Verwandlung). For this purpose it suggests to look into the mechanisms of how norms change from the perspective of legal and political science and also to approximate a reference point where change turns into metamorphosis. It submits that such a point may be reached where specific legally protected values are indeed changing (change of legal values) or where the very idea of protecting certain values through law is renounced (delegalizing of values). The paper discusses the benefits of such an interdisciplinary exchange and tries to identify differences and commonalities among both disciplinary perspectives.
