International LawThe Fifth Edition offers: a clear and accessible writing style; broad coverage of public international issues, complemented by some discussion of salient Constitutional Law and International Business Law topics; a logical organization that poses three broad questions: What are the international legal rules? What is the international legal process? What role does international law play in international relations? [It is] an authoritative resource in a comprehensible context. Thoroughly updated to reflect current International Law, the Fifth Edition covers: the Sosa Case on The Alien Tort Statute, cases on the Geneva Conventions and other U.S. Supreme Court cases deciding on issues of international import; the rapidly expanding jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights and other new developments in International Human Rights Law; the Preemptive-War Doctrine and new problems and prospects in the law of war; the Precautionary Principle in International Environmental Law. International Law, Fifth Edition, continues to live up to its excellent reputation as a clear, accurate, and timely overview of International Law."--Publisher's website. |
