Les formes contemporaines de l'esclavage par Emmanuel DECAUX Depuis pr s de deux si cles, la question de l esclavage et de la traite n gri re est au coeur des relations internationales. Du Congr s de Vienne de 1815 qui d nonce un commerce r pugnant aux principes d humanit et de morale universelle jusqu la Cour internationale de Justice qui voque en 1970 les principes et [l]es r gles concernant les droits fondamentaux de la personne humaine, y compris la protection contre la pratique de l esclavage comme source d obligations erga omnes, le droit international contemporain est caract ris par la construction progressive d un r gime international relevant de la notion de jus cogens. Alors que de nombreux travaux r cents voquent l esclavage sous l angle historique ou dans une perspective contemporaine, cet ouvrage pr sente l originalit de s inscrire dans une perspective juridique de longue dur e, au carrefour des sources formelles et mat rielles du droit international public, tout en l clairant des d bats les plus actuels sur les responsabilit s historiques en la mati re. Lis Pendens in International Litigation by Campbell MCLACHLAN What legal principles apply when courts in different jurisdictions are simultaneously seised with the same dispute ? This question of international lis pendens has long been controversial. But it has taken on new and urgent importance in our age. Globalization has driven an unprecedented rise in forum shopping between national courts and a proliferation of new international tribunals. Problems of litispendence have spawned some of the most dramatic litigation of modern times from anti-suit injunction battles in commercial disputes, to the appeals of prisoners on death row to international human rights tribunals. The way we respond to this challenge has profound theoretical implications for the interaction of legal systems in today s pluralistic world. In this wide-ranging survey, McLachlan analyses the problems of parallel litigation in private and public international law and international arbitration. He argues that we need to develop a more sophisticated set of rules of conflict of litigations, guided by a cosmopolitan conception of the rule of law.
