International Organizations
By
Jan Klabbers
Description
International
organizations have come to occupy a central position in international
governance, exercising many public functions and facilitating
political debate amongst states and other actors, though it is only
recently that the focus of legal discussions has begun to shift to
controlling the activities of organizations. This volume assembles
sixteen important essays addressing various issues relating to the
law of international organizations, highlighting theoretical issues
and ongoing political debates and emphasizing issues of control. The
introductory essay provides an overview of the development of the
politico-legal debate and situates the law of international
organizations historically and in its contemporary context.
