International Law, Third Edition, offers a rigorous and supportive introduction to public international law for undergraduate and post-graduate readers. The text balances clear, concise discussion with in-depth analysis of international law principles at the international, regional and, where applicable, domestic levels. Offering a conceptual framework that simplifies the complexity of the international legal system, International Law supports learning efficiency and effectiveness, and enables readers to achieve mastery of the subject matter. In addition to the core material that is addressed in international law curriculae, this third edition work engages with the many developments and topical issues that have assumed significance for international relations in the 21st century, since the publication of the previous edition. International Law is suited as core material for undergraduate courses in international law. The work is also a useful first resource for legal practitioners who wish to engage with foundational and current principles of the field.
This fifth edition of International Law: A South African Perspective is now titled Dugard’s International Law: A South African Perspective, in recognition of the fact that this work is a continuation of the earlier editions written by John Dugard. The substance of the work has undergone major changes to take account of new developments both on the international legal scene and in South Africa. Dugard’s International Law: A South African Perspective presents a South African perspective of international law. The basic principles of international law are described and examined with reference to the principal sources of international law. This examination, however, takes place within the context of South African law. South African state practice, judicial decisions and legislation on international law receive equal treatment with international law as it is practised and taught abroad.
This book helps lawyers, practitioners, legislators and students
understand and cope with the challenges of e-commerce, and to learn
about the most up-to-date technology and regulation of Online
Dispute Resolution (ODR). It introduces different forms of online
dispute resolution, against the background of Alternative Dispute
Resolution (ADR) developments in the off-line environment;
crucially, it examines the current technology and legal status of
ODR in the EU, US, Asia and Australia, and discusses the relations
between the various parties in dispute resolutions, especially the
Fifth party for the provider of the technology. It further analyses
the four most successful examples, such as Michigan Cybercourt,
WIPO-UDRP, eBay-SquareTrade and AAA-CyberSettle. Finally, a
proposal for resolving e-contract disputes via ODR is provided, and
a code of conduct recommended in order to regulate the electronic
commerce market.
The material compiled in this volume brings together an edition of
intergovernmental documents that survey the rationale for

and support mechanisms with the means of implementation as
articulated in various outcome documents issued by the Group of 77
since its establishment in 1964.
Today, international investment law consists of a network of multifaceted, multilayered international treaties that, in one way or another, involve virtually every country of the world. The evolution of this network continues, raising a host of issues regarding international investment law and policy, especially in the area of international investment disputes. This Yearbook monitors current developments in international investment law and policy, focusing (in Part One) on trends in foreign direct investment (FDI), international investment agreements, and investment disputes, with a special look at developments in the oil and gas sector. Part Two, then, looks at central issues in the contemporary discussions on international investment law and policy. With contributions by leading experts in the field, this title provides timely, authoritative information on FDI that can be used by a wide audience, including practitioners, academics, researchers, and policy makers.

practitioners and scholars in the field.

This collection of previously published essays by one of the world's most distinguished experts in international law provides a detailed analysis of some of the most complex issues to have occupied international lawyers over the last quarter century. Drawing on a lifetime's experience and knowledge, Mann provides uncompromising and sometimes controversial essays on a host of topics, including the doctrine of Jus Cogens in international law, Britain's Bill of Rights, international wrong, state corporations in international relations, the Barcelona Traction case, investment treaties, the Aminoil arbitration, uniform statutes, the State Immunity Act of 1978, inviolability, public rights, compound interest as an item of damage, and the judicial recognition of unrecognized states.
When International Law Works stands to change the way states and scholars look at this contentious topic. In this seminal work, Professor Tai-Heng Cheng addresses the current international law debates and transcends them. Responding to influential statements on international law by such scholars as Goldsmith, Posner, O'Connell, and Guzman, Cheng presents a new framework that decisionmakers should consider when they confront an international problem that implicates the often competing policies and interests of their own communities and global order. Instead of advocating for or against international law as legitimate or binding, as many commentators do, Cheng adknowledges both its shortcomings while presenting a practical means of deciding whether compliance in a given circumstance is beneficial, moral, or necessary. In this manner Cheng shows how it is possible for decisionmakers to take international law and its limitations seriously without actually needing to determine whether or not international law is "law." To demonstrate how his new proposal for approaching international law would work in a real crisis, Cheng provides numerous case studies from contemporary history that test his theory. Ranging topically from the current global economic crisis to the West's war on Islamist terrorism, these detailed and demonstrative case studies set this book apart from similar works of international legal scholarship. By combining theory with practice, When International Law Works gives lawyers, judges, policymakers, academics and students 'real world' guidance on how to face new global problems. In doing so, this new book challenges readers to rethink the role of law in an increasingly crisis-driven world.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
