The Law of Treaties
By
Scott Davidson
Description
The centrality of
treaties to the international legal system requires little emphasis.
Not only is the treaty a source of law that the International Court
of Justice (ICJ) is bound to apply when resolving international
disputes, but it is also the medium through which the vast
preponderance of international legal intercourse is now conducted.
The essays contained in this informative volume disclose a wide
variety of opinion on a broad range of issues concerning the
conclusion, application and termination of treaties.
