Summary: "The first book of its kind in the field, Principles of Public International Law has been shaping the study and application of international law for over 40 years. Written by a world-renowned expert, this seventh edition builds on the reputation of its predecessors, providing outstanding lucid, and up-to-date treatment of all of the main issues in international law today." "Principles of Public International Law offers readers a carefully balanced perspective on international issues from the point of view of someone who has had substantial experience as Counsel and Advocate in international tribunals and also as Arbitrator." "Superb coverage of jurisprudence and historical materials allows readers to follow and gain a deeper understanding of the development of international law. The book includes rigorously detailed references and a particularly through and comprehensive index, making it the ideal reference for practitioners or as a main text for students." "This seventh edition has been fully updated to include reference to all the major cases and examines the following key areas; extraordinary rendition, definition of genocide, activities of the International Criminal Court, projects of the International Law Commission, and the relationship of state immunity and human rights. It continues its strong coverage of key topics including the environment, human rights, and the use of force."--Jacket
