Law & Practice of the United Nations: Documents and Commentary
combines primary materials with expert commentary, demonstrating
the interaction between law and practice in the UN organization, as
well as the possibilities and limitations of multilateral
institutions in general. Each chapter begins with a short
introductory essay by the authors that describes how the documents
that follow illustrate a set of legal, institutional, and political
issues relevant to the practice of diplomacy and the development of
public international law through the United Nations.
The authors help students form a realistic idea of the work of
international diplomacy, as the negotiation and interpretation of
such texts is an important part of what actually takes place at the
United Nations and other international organizations. A wide
variety of documents are presented, each of which must be read
differently: treaties and resolutions based on political
compromises, judicial opinions that are based on legal reasoning,
policy documents intended to justify specific actions, and advocacy
intended to pursue a national or other interest. Students will
develop the ability to read these documents critically, parsing not
only the meaning but the political and bureaucratic interests
behind them.
Law & Practice of the United Nations is ideal for courses on
the United Nations or International Organizations, taught in both
law and international relations programs.
