A Room Full of 'Views': Introducing a New Dataset to Explore Compliance with the Decisions of the UN Human Rights Treaty Bodies' Individual Complaints Procedures

Andreas J. J. Ullmann et al.

Summary: The new Treaty Body Views Dataset (TBVD) provides usable data on the effectiveness of the UN human rights treaty bodies (UNTBs) in eliciting remedial responses from states. It includes details on all published decisions in individual complaints cases issued by the UNTBs between 1979 and 2019 and matches these with information on state compliance. The TBVD can be used for research on the activities of the treaty bodies, the nature of the decisions themselves, or state behavior following a decision, and can contribute to advancing knowledge about compliance with adverse UNTB decisions.

The Marks of Civilisation: The Special Stigma of Torture

Michelle Farrell

Summary: The European Court of Human Rights attached a special stigma to torture in the case of Ireland v United Kingdom, which has become central to the Court's interpretation of torture under article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights. The choice of this particular phrase by the Court is significant as it reveals the Court's unconscious intentions and highlights the connection between torture and stigma.

Membership Has Its Privileges: Targeted Killing Norms and the Firewall of International Society

Vincent Charles Keating

Summary: This paper discusses the ethics of targeted killing and proposes an alternative perspective that explains why these operations are still limited to non-state actors. It constructs a distinction between the international society and the international system and argues that international society acts as a firewall against the generalization of these practices.

Nuclear Stigma and Deviance in Global Governance: A New Research Agenda

Aniruddha Saha

Summary: This study focuses on how noncompliant nuclear states manage stigmatized identities in the field of nuclear politics. It argues that stigma should be understood as a position of power dynamics and proposes the concept of stigma redaction as a way for noncompliant states to prevent permanent identification as rogue actors. The case of India's relationship with the United States after its nuclear test in 1974 is examined to contextualize these arguments. This interdisciplinary approach contributes to a better understanding of sociological deviance in international politics.

Why norms rarely die

Sarah Percy et al.

Summary: Significant challenges to core international norms have prompted debate over whether or not norms decay, decline, or die. However, claims of norm death are incorrect and misleading. Norms rarely die, but instead go through processes of obsolescence, replacement, and modification. Norms exhibit resilience and can withstand high levels of non-compliance.

The situated and bounded rationality of international courts: A structuralist approach to international adjudicative practices

Salvatore Caserta et al.

Summary: Understanding international judicial behavior requires considering the influences of individual and collective actions. Individual judges are shaped by their previous experiences and backgrounds, while international judicial appointments place them within a specific social and group dynamic. This article presents a structural theory of judicial behavior that reconsiders and applies the notion of habitus, developed by Pierre Bourdieu, to the practice of the Caribbean Court of Justice.

Multiplicity, hybridity and normativity: disputes about the UN convention against corruption in Germany

Max Lesch

Summary: This article examines the disputes surrounding Germany's ratification of the UNCAC, utilizing pragmatic sociology to study international norms. The delayed ratification of UNCAC in Germany highlights the hybrid nature of norms against corruption, as members of the German parliament relied on competing normative inventories to translate terms and settle definitions. By unpacking normative multiplicity and contradictions, this research contributes to a better understanding of international norms and the disputes surrounding them.

The (de)legitimation of torture: rhetoric, shaming and narrative contestation in two British cases

Frank Foley

Summary: This study examines the rhetoric of governments and opponents of torture in democracies. By categorizing four common arguments against torture, it shows how narrative forms of advocacy can constrain governments. However, governments can use multiple narratives to continue their involvement in torture.

How (not) to stop the killer robots: A comparative analysis of humanitarian disarmament campaign strategies

Elvira Rosert et al.

Summary: This article discusses the intense debate on whether and how Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems (LAWS) should be regulated, arguing that the current strategy of the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots may not be effective as it lacks adjustments tailored to the specifics of the issue. The authors recommend adjusting the LAWS campaign strategy in terms of institutional choices, substance, and regulatory design in light of the differences between the autonomous weapons case and previous humanitarian disarmament successes.
