Publisher's Synopsis
A new edition giving the student a thorough grasp of both the theory and practice of international law. All the major areas are considered and analyzed with particular attention given to the actual practice of states and the consequences of the decisions of international organizations and tribunals. Each chapter examines the present position, the decision of international courts and tribunals and any proposals for reform. The student is also asked to consider the place of international law in the international community, especially after the political changes of recent years. Although written principally for law students, this book will also aid students of international politics and diplomacy in understanding how the international community actually works.
