The aim of this collection of essays in Robin Churchill's honour is
to discuss some key examples of the achievements of international
law - with the express aim of exploring both what it has achieved
and also its limits. This will serve as a response to the two
popular but opposite misconceptions about the role of international
law. One view is that international law is too weak to improve the
World in any significant way. The other view is that international
law is a panacea that can be used to rid the world of many of its
ills. The book is divided into five distinct parts, each reflecting
on what international law has achieved within broadly defined
substantive areas. It opens with a discussion on general
international law and international human rights law, before
exploring the law of the sea and fisheries. It then looks at
international environmental law before finally examining the use of
force and international criminal law. The chapters and the
collection overall will provide a contrast to the popular
misconceptions about international law by offering examples of both
the success and also limitations of it as a system.
