Her research concentrates on understanding human resource management in less standard contexts, such as small entrepreneurial (family) businesses and low skilled work. She combines a business- with an ethical perspective in studying people in workplaces. As a lecturer, she has developed an introduction course to human resource management that appeals to students in business programs and in human resource management. The leit motiv in her teaching, research and consulting with organizations is a strong believe that all organizations and the individuals involved in them can benefit more from human resource management, if more time is spend on understanding the causes of people-related issues in their specific contexts, in combination with a better understanding of available research evidence.

    Introducción

    El derecho internacional juega un papel importante en la vida diaria en el mundo entero. El derecho internacional está presente, por ejemplo, en los conflictos armados, los desastres naturales, el desplazamiento de refugiados, la protección de los derechos humanos, el comercio internacional, la adopción internacional o el cambio climático. A menudo son solo los especialistas quienes se dan cuenta de ello. El propósito de este libro es hacer el derecho internacional accesible a todos aquellos lectores que muestren un interés por el tema sin ser (todavía) expertos. Se trata de una invitación a descubrir el derecho internacional y su importancia a la hora de hacer frente a los grandes retos de nuestro tiempo. Otro propósito del libro es subrayar y explicar la relación única e histórica entre el derecho internacional y la Ciudad de La Haya, «un epicentro de justicia internacional y de la obligación de rendir cuentas», tal y como lo expresó el antiguo Secretario General de las Naciones Unidas, Ban Ki-moon  En su descripción del derecho internacional, en la que examinan las tendencias y desafíos actuales, los autores llegan a conclusiones optimistas, a pesar de las dificultades que se presentan a la hora de aplicar el derecho internacional. Basan su optimismo en una visión del derecho internacional como parte de la civilización de las relaciones entre Estados. Asimismo, en su análisis de distintos campos del derecho internacional, los autores dejan claro que el derecho internacional es una herramienta fundamental ante «los grandes problemas [que] no tienen pasaporte», utilizando una expresión de otro ex Secretario General de las Naciones Unidas, Kofi Annan. En este contexto, se observa el nacimiento de un nuevo contrato social entre Estados, organizaciones de la sociedad civil (ONG, sindicatos, iglesias) y empresas, con el apoyo intelectual y la contribución crítica del sector académico.

    Introduction

    We hereby proudly inform you that the second edition of Discover International Law has been published. This book has been authored by professor Willem van Genugten, professor Nico Schrijver and PhD candidate Daniela Heerdt. The first edition was published in 2016 and presented to former United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. Ever since 2016, however, due to rapidly changing circumstances, a second edition was quickly warranted, in order to accurately address obsolete parts present in the first edition, and to remain an eloquent and sound introductory book to public international law. The second edition is available in five languages and has been expertly translated by native speakers. The purpose of this book is to contribute to a better understanding of public international law and private international law, including the latest trends and highlights. The conclusions of the authors of this book are mostly optimistic. A positive look is sometimes needed to notice the progress and not to go too fast in negative hypes. In order to move forward with international law, we need to understand the state of affairs and the trends, per jurisdiction and in a broader sense, taking into account historical developments and ever-changing geopolitical contexts. The authors note that states are increasingly being forced to accept human rights as a guideline for their actions. Little by little, human rights are conquering a place in all areas of international law and in international relations, where it is ultimately a question of pure power policy coming to its knees for law. In addition, they see a new social contract between states, civil society (NGOs, trade unions, churches) and companies, with support and critical reflection from science and they observe a combination of clarity and diversity. When developing international law, it is very important not to neglect global cultural and political diversity in theory and practice. The book is written in such a way that it is accessible to anyone interested in these topics. Per chapter the reader is introduced to basic concepts from international law, and to international organizations and historical events that were important for the development of that part of international law. The book aims to impart basic knowledge to each of the topics discussed, and offers all kinds of options for further study where this is necessary and desirable depending on the needs of the reader. The reader will gradually understand that the various legal areas and developments within them are interconnected. The book also tells the story of the unique and historical link between international law and the city of The Hague. The city was described by former UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon as “Epicentre of international justice and accountability.”
