Public International LawThis work covers the main traditional topics of public international law such as the nature and sources of international law; the law of treaties; jurisdiction; personality; and the peaceful settlement of disputes. More specific subjects are also treated - human rights, the use of force, the laws of war and the growing body of international environmental law. The book aims, wherever possible, to identify the current areas of controversy, giving details of the main arguments and providing the author's own comments. Illustrations of the law and its applications from current international events are provided - for example, reference is made to recent events in the area of former Yugoslavia. |
