The Interrelationship of the Sources of Public International Law

Viac o knihe

The book focuses on the interrelationship of the sources of international law. It considers comparative-legal historical insights, it examines the role of institutions such as the International Court of Justice and the International Law Commission, and it explores and analyzes developments in specific fields, namely human rights law in the context of the European Convention on Human Rights, international criminal law and international investment law as well as scholarly perspectives. The examination will demonstrate that different forms of interplay and variations in the sources' relative significance can be observed and how a focus on the interrelationship can contribute to the understanding and evaluation of the sources today.
