International Law

International law resolves the various disputes and conflicts in the foreign policy of each country as well as in international economic transactions. This thematically organized handbook explains how international law and its institutions influence how countries and multinational companies justify their claims, rebut their opponents, establish alliances and negotiate their commitments. The usefulness of this collection of international law provides useful information on the principles and problems of the application of international law, including the use of military force, arms control, the conservation of human rights, the environment, and international investment and trade. It addresses the political and legal nature of international institutions. Effective international law should reconcile what states and multinational corporations say with what they do.
