Summary
This book aims to introduce the principles regulating relations among sovereign states. The spotlight is on the systemic or foundational aspects of international law most likely to be encountered in introductory courses on the subject: nature, history and structure of international law, sources, treaties, statehood and recognition, legal responsibility of states, jurisdiction and immunities, territory, dispute settlement, and the use of armed and unarmed force between states.
The law is clearly stated and succinctly explained. Understanding is reinforced by extracts from leading court and tribunal decisions, acts of international organisations and other primary materials. Sample problems and suggested answers at the end of chapters are designed to test knowledge by reference to hypothetical scenarios calling for legal analysis.
