This databases is an online collection of the full text of the commitments that Hein obtained. The contents are searchable by keyword, title, state and foreign parties, subject, and date. The topics range from archaeology to human rights and transportation. There is considerable variation, moreover, in commitment design, as measured by the extent to which the instruments bind the parties, restrict termination or amendment, establish mechanisms to facilitate implementation, provide for judicial enforcement or other means of dispute resolution, address international law, and align with federal law and policy. Some of the commitments operate indefinitely, while others are term-limited. Some exhibit sophistication and formality, while others seem quite casual. Publishing them together significantly improves the transparency of modern practice. A curated collection of roughly one-quarter of them is available in hard copy under the same title.
This archive of casebooks published by West Academic covers all out-of-print and superseded casebooks in the American Casebook Series, University Casebook Series, Hornbook Series, and Nutshell Series, except for the two most recent editions of any title.
