International Law - Shaw, Malcolm N.

. .

Résumé :
Since the appearance of its first edition, Shaw's International Law has been my preferred textbook in my international law class. To this day it remains comprehensive, clear, and well organised, offering both depth and breadth, both the forest and the trees. The ninth edition offers yet again an updated, accurate, and well-balanced account of the recent developments in the law" Eyal Benvenisti, Whewell Professor of International Law and the Director of the Lauterpacht Centre for International Law, University of Cambridge "Shaw's International Law has always been characterised by its clarity of expression, analysis,and breadth of coverage. This new edition is no exception. It is one of those rare works of international law that is essential reading for the judge, practitioner, academic, and student alike." Dan Sarooshi QC, Professor of Public International Law, University of Oxford, and Essex Court Chambers, London "Remarkably, for such a lengthy and wide-ranging text, this remains one of the most readable books on the subject - the distillation of Professor Shaw's lifetime in the front rank of the teaching and practice of international law." Vaughan LoweQC, Barrister at Essex Court Chambers, and Emeritus Fellow of All Souls College, University of Oxford International Law is the definitive and authoritative text on the subject. It has long been established as a leading authority in the field, offering an unbeatable combination of clarity of expression and academic rigour, ensuring understanding and analysis in an engaging and authoritative style. Explaining the leading rules, practice, and caselaw, this treatise retains and develops the detailed referencing which encourages and assists the reader in further study. This new edition has been fully updated to reflect recent developments. In particular, it has expanded the treatment of space law and of international economic law, and introduced new sections on cyber operations and cyber warfare, as well as reflecting the Covid-19 crisis. This work motivates and challenges students and professionals while remaining accessible and engaging. Both clarifying fundamental principles and facilitating additional research, International Law is invaluable for students and for those occupied in private practice, governmental service, and international organisations.
