International Law (8th Edition)

International Law provides readers with a user-friendly and accessible exposition of the key and basic concepts of international law. The authors explain the substantive procedural principles – critical to an understanding of the international legal process.

The eighth edition incorporates discussion and analysis of UK, US and European material including examples of sources and significant cases. In this edition, the authors examine the renewed efforts of states and the international community as a whole to establish policy goals for a sustainable future and develop international law accordingly. The authors continue to analyse human rights mechanisms as well as examining contemporary issues relating to the use of force and the environment; as well as the global challenges of responding to the needs of those who migrate to escape conflict and its aftermath. Consideration is also given to the jurisprudence of the International Court of Justice, the International Criminal Court and other judicial bodies.

International Law remains a key text for students studying international law at undergraduate and postgraduate level. Its clear and comprehensive coverage of the subject also makes it an invaluable text for students taking courses in areas such as international politics, international relations and human rights.
