This article is the Inaugural Address given by Professor Aikman, Professor of Jurisprudence and Constitutional Law, Victoria University College, on 11 September 1956. The author discusses the nature of international law in general terms, first by exploring the nature of traditional international law as a set of rules by which states feel themselves bound to observe in their relations with each other. The author then explores the notion that traditional international law was developed as a means for regulating external contacts rather than as the expression of the life of a true society (the favoured approach of Sir Alfred Zimmern). The function of political power is also discussed in the context of the world community, including that of the United Nations. However, the author notes that the United Nations and its related agencies also act on a functional (i.e. social, cultural, economic and humanitarian) field and at a regional level. The author then discusses the role of arbitration, judicial settlement, and the role of moral principles in international affairs. The author concludes that international law requires diversity, commitment, and acceptance.

The final chapter of this book advances four main conclusions on the role of international law in landscape protection. These relate to state obligations regarding landscape protection, the influence of the World Heritage Convention and the European Landscape Convention, the substantive and procedural nature of landscape rights, and the role of EU law. It is argued that, although state practice is lagging behind the normative developments made in the field of international landscape protection, landscape has contributed positively to the corpus of international cultural heritage law and indeed has emerged as a nascent field of international law in its own right.

International custom “as evidence of a general practice accepted as law”, is considered one of the two main sources of international law as it primarily derives from the conduct of sovereign States, but is also closely connected with the role of the international judge when identifying the applicable customary rule, a function it shares with the bodies in charge of its codification (and progressive development), starting with the International Law Commission. Though mainly considered to be general international law, international custom has a complex relationship with many specific fields of law and specific regions of the world. The editor provides comprehensive research published in the last seven decades, invaluable to everyone interested in the field of customary international law.

The feckless response of the world community to the mounting threat of climate change has led to a growing interest in climate geoengineering research. In early 2015, the us National Academy of Sciences released two major reports on the topic. While it is notable that both reports recommended some form of public participation to inform research, this article argues that the vagueness of these recommendations could mean that their implementation might not comport with optimal approaches for public deliberation. We outline some options for public deliberation on climate geoengineering and important design considerations.

This article is devoted to the role of religion in modern society. The author reveals the main directions of religion in society, the problems associated with understanding religious dogmas and solving these problems. Special attention is paid to the problem of activization of ultra-radical groups based on religious grounds, the perception of the world community of religion and the problem of correct understanding of religion on the example of Islam. Based on the analysis, the main causes of the emergence of problems related to religion and its perception were identified. Using sources whose authors directly deal with the problems of religion throughout their life, the author gives some recommendations for eradicating the problems that arise from a misunderstanding of religious values.
