Decisions of international courts and arbitrators, as well as judgments of national courts, are fundamental elements of modern public international law. The International Law Reports is the only publication in the world wholly devoted to the regular and systematic reporting in English of such decisions. It is therefore an absolutely essential work of reference. Volume 172 is devoted to the 2014 judgment of International Court of Justice in Maritime Dispute (Peru v. Chile), the judgment of South African Constitutional Court in National Commissioner of the South African Police Service v. Southern Africa Human Rights Litigation Centre and the 2016 judgment of the English High Court in R (Freedom and Justice Party) v. Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs.

Drinking water and wastewater services must be provided to many sectors of a nation's economy, including its industrial, commercial, and residential sectors. This forms the scope of the water industry's activities and it explains why the privatization of water sanitation and water services has become a huge market and a much-debated issue in a number of jurisdictions. Historically the water industry has been run as a public service which is owned by the local or national government; however, recent trends suggest that the role of the private sector is increasing. The growing economic interests concerning water and wastewater services are generating a tension with the recent recognition of the human right to water and sanitation. This tension between human right and economic rules is the focus of this book, which reviews all the international rules that form the regulation of global water services.

Powerful men make a sport of hurting women. But now the game is up.We waited for the deafening thunder of flash grenades, the sickening barrage of gunshots, and the possible outcome that both hostage and hostage taker were dead.There's nothing journalist Geneva Chase hates more than predatory men. So when a local news anchor is arrested for holding his wife hostage to prevent her from releasing incriminating information about him, Geneva is more than ready to dig into the dirty details of the man's life. What she finds is worse than she expects. A long trial of blackmail and deception leads her to the doorstep of Whisper Room, an exclusive escort service―but it's unclear what exactly goes on inside. When young women working for the Whisper Room start turning up dead, however, Geneva digs deeper―and inadvertently puts her own life in danger.
This volume contains the papers of the 7th International Workshop on Medical and Service Robots (MESROB) which was held in Basel, Switzerland, on June 7-9, 2021. The main topics include: design of medical devices, kinematics and dynamics for medical robotics, exoskeletons and prostheses, anthropomorphic hands, therapeutic robots and rehabilitation, cognitive robots, humanoid and service robots, assistive robots and elderly assistance, surgical robots, human-robot interfaces, haptic devices, medical treatments, medical lasers, and surgical planning and navigation.
