About this publication
Over the last half century, the scope of international law has expanded enormously. Sources, such as treaties and cases, have proliferated, as well as reports, commentaries, textbooks and articles. Introduction to International Law, written primarily with the South African reader in mind, is intended to provide a conceptual overview and analysis of this body of materials.
The topics addressed in this book include a history of international law, its sources, subjects and objects, the relationship between international law and municipal law, human rights, economic law, international organizations, international criminal and humanitarian law, peaceful settlement of disputes and the use of force.
