Download or read book A Concise Introduction to International Law written by Attila Tanzi and published by Eleven International Publishing. This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook provides an overview of the functioning international law, rather than the full knowledge of the immense developments of international law of the last decades, concerning the regulation of its subjects, sources, state responsibility, the means of dispute settlement and the ever increasingly problematic relation to domestic jurisdictions and the numerous branches of substantive international law, such as the law of the sea, environmental law, human rights law, investment and trade law, international criminal law, and jurisdictional immunities, amongst others. The extreme concision book is aimed to provide an incentive for the students at first degree level to study the subject, while purporting to complement the specific syllabus, which may be chosen by the teacher of the PIL module. The basic character of the narrative is also meant to embolden domestic attorneys to realise how intertwined with international law are the rules and institutions they interpret and apply on a daily basis, and how many more arguments they could plead before a domestic court if they were aware of this.

Download or read book International Law written by Wade Mansell and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-08-22 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new edition provides a critical introduction to the concepts, principles and rules of international law through a consideration of contemporary international events. It examines both the possibilities and limitations of the legal method in resolving international disputes, and notes the actual effects of international law upon international disagreements. Such an approach remains sceptical rather than cynical, and is intended to provide the means by which the role of international law may be evaluated. This entails discussion of the legal quality of international law; the relationship between international law and international relations; the Eurocentricity' of international law; and the connection between political power and the ability to use or abuse (or ignore) international law. The new edition explores the impact of the United States' latest direction in foreign policy (arguably an intensification of pre-existing neo-conservative trends); considers in greater depth the issue of economic self-determination in relation to ex-colonial nations; expands the discussion of jurisdiction to cover immunity from jurisdiction; and covers recent developments at the International Criminal Court. Underlying the book is the assertion that international law is political in content (in the sense of being concerned with the exercise of power) but that it draws much of its effectiveness from its self-portrayal as being apolitical, or at least politically neutral.
