Seit seiner Gründung im Jahre 1914 prägt der Leitspruch »Frieden durch Recht« die Arbeit des weltweit ältesten universitären Völkerrechtsinstituts, des Walther-Schücking-Instituts für Internationales Recht an der Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel. Dieser Tradition verpflichtet, widmete sich im September 2014 eine internationale Konferenz zum 100-jährigen Bestehen des Instituts Chancen und Problemen der Sicherung und Wiederherstellung des Friedens mit Mitteln des Völkerrechts. Der vorliegende Band versammelt die Beiträge zu dieser Konferenz, die vor dem Hintergrund der Ereignisse in der Ukraine und in Syrien über den Anlass hinaus drängende Aktualität besitzen. In drei Teilen (historischer Rückblick; Friedenssicherung und -wiederherstellung durch Völkerrecht heute; humanitäres Völkerrecht vor neuen Herausforderungen) werden das geltende Recht in Theorie und Praxis vorgestellt sowie Möglichkeiten zu seiner Fortentwicklung aufgezeigt. Alle Beiträge sind in englischer Sprache verfasst.Since 1914, »Peace through Law« is the guiding motto of the world's oldest university institute for public international law, the Walther Schücking Institute for International Law at Kiel University. Marking the occasion of its 100th anniversary, an international conference assessed international law's contribution to the maintenance and restoration of global peace and security. The present volume assembles the conference papers which address questions of urgent topicality.
