Biographical note
Robert Kolb, Professor of Public International Law, Faculty of Law, University of Geneva, Switzerland<i>'Professor Kolb has an outstanding ability for combining his exceptional knowledge ''across the board'' of the various areas of international law with an ability to explain them accessibly, whilst including a great level of analytical rigor and judgment. This work, based on detailed reference to the primary and secondary literature on this complex and cross-cutting area of international law, is a first-rate addition to the literature for students, practitioners, and academics alike. It is wholeheartedly recommended for all.'</i>
- Robert Cryer, University of Birmingham, UK,
The concise chapters are organized into two parts. Part One provides a structural overview of the law, with up-to-date coverage of practice and case law reflecting the key international law reports. Part Two offers specific case studies, asking probing questions in order to explore how the international legal order deals with breaches of its norms and what rights and faculties are accorded to the aggrieved State.
With an approach that is legally analytical yet also practical, this accessible book will provide valuable insights to both scholars and practitioners of international law. Its clear structure and guidance on the latest practice and case law will also make it an ideal choice for students.
