This addition to the Elements of International Law series explores
the role of international law as an integral part of the Russian
legal system, with particular reference to the role of
international treaties and of generally-recognized principles and
norms of international law. Following a discussion of the
historical place of treaties in Russian legal history and the
sources of the Russian law of treaties, the book strikes new ground
in exploring contemporary treaty-making in the Russian Federation
by drawing upon sources not believed to have been previously used
in Russian or western doctrinal writings. Special attention is
devoted to investment protection treaties. The importance of
publishing treaties as a condition of their application by Russian
courts is explored. For the first time a detailed account is given
of the constitutional history of treaty ratification in Russia, the
outcome being that present constitutional practice is inconsistent
with the drafting history of the relevant constitutional
provisions. The volume gives attention to the role of the Russian
Supreme Court in developing treaty practice through the issuance of
"guiding documents" binding on lower courts, the reaction of the
Russian Constitutional Court to judgments of the European Court of
Human Rights, and the place of treaties as an integral part of the
Russian legal system. Butler further explores the hierarchy of
sources of law, together with other facets of Russian arbitral and
judicial practice with respect to treaties and other sources of
international law. He concludes with a consideration of the
'generally-recognized principles and norms of international law'
and their role as part of the Russian system.
