Acclaim for the first edition:<p></p>
<i>‘Robert Kolb’s </i>The Law of Treaties: An Introduction<i> is the best of its kind. Though encyclopaedic and sweeping in its breadth, the book brings out, with the clarity and insistence that characterize all of Kolb’s writings, the underlying principles of state consent on the one hand with pacta sunt servanda and good faith on the other.’ </i>
- Dr Eirik Bjorge, University of Oxford, UK,
<i>‘With this book, Robert Kolb confirms his position as one of the leading international law scholars. His command of the primary sources and scholarship is unrivalled. In a time when the academic discipline is fragmenting into many specialist sub-disciplines, his scholarship is even more important. Others have characterized Professor Kolb’s </i>The Law of Treaties: An Introduction<i> as the best of its kind. I agree.’ </i>
