This volume presents a high-level scholarly discussion on whether the concept of solidarity functions as a structural principle of international law and to what extent it has become a full-fledged legal principle. Each contributor addresses these questions by examining normative operations of the principle of solidarity in different branches of international law – including international disaster law, international humanitarian law, the law of development cooperation and international environmental law – as well as the relationship between the principle of solidarity and other legal principles such as the responsibility to protect and intergenerational equity.
The volume was edited as the proceedings of the symposium “Solidarity: A Structural Principle of International Law” held at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law on 29 October 2008. The volume consists of Opening Address by Armin von Bogdandy, Revisiting Solidarity as a (Re-)Emerging Constitutional Principle: Some Further Reflections by Karel Wellens, Solidarity and the Law of Development Cooperation by Philipp Dann, Responsibility to Protect: Reflecting Solidarity? by Laurence Boisson de Chazournes, Intergenerational Equity by Dinah Shelton, and Concluding Remarks by Rüdiger Wolfrum. The volume also comprises the discussion following the presentations and two additional contributions from the participants: Military Intervention without Security Council’s Authorisation as a Consequence of the “Responsibility to Protect” by Tania Bolaños and Common Security: The Litmus Test of International Solidarity by Hanspeter Neuhold.
