HOMICIDE – THE LAWS OF AUSTRALIA<br />

Paul Fairall<br />

Homicide – The Laws of Australia is a portable yet<br />

comprehensive reference which provides a multijurisdictional,<br />

principles-based approach to the<br />

law relating to homicide.<br />

This new work, authored by Professor Paul<br />

Fairall, will be based on content currently<br />

published in Subtitle 10.1 “Homicide” of The Laws<br />

of Australia encyclopaedia, and will cover the<br />

following topics - General Principles; Homicide<br />

– Conduct Elements; Murder – Mental Element;<br />

Constructive Murder; Partial Defences to Murder;<br />

Manslaughter; Related Offences; and Procedural<br />

Matters and Punishment.<br />

One of the greatest strengths of this book will<br />

be its comprehensive and multi-jurisdictional<br />

coverage, clearly addressing the extent to<br />

which the laws of the different States and<br />

Territories differ, such as intoxication, diminished<br />

responsibility and provocation. Additionally,<br />

the propositional style of The Laws of Australia<br />

provides a format which is easy to browse, and<br />

the explanation and analysis of core principles<br />

is supported by extensive footnoting to further<br />

aid research.<br />

INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL LAW AND<br />

HUMAN RIGHTS<br />

de Than and Shorts<br />

This book provides students, academics and<br />

other interested persons with an accessible,<br />

thorough and in-depth analysis of this complex<br />

and challenging field. In addition to using a<br />

wide variety of sources to explain the new law<br />

and the role and operation of the future court,<br />

it analyses and interprets the various challenges<br />

confronting it and assesses its future role in<br />

public international law. Each international crime<br />

is examined in a separate chapter, e.g. genocide,<br />

war crimes, torture, crimes against humanity.<br />

A series of chapters address the boundaries of,<br />

and relationship between, international criminal<br />

law and human rights; e.g., human rights<br />

violations of women as international<br />

crime, and the uneasy position of human<br />

rights in extradition and immigration law.<br />
