Current International Law Issues Nordic Perspectives Essays in Honour of Jerzy Sztucki

The main points discussed in the book include the requirements & the mechanism of international law formation, kinds of international customary rules, relation of customary rules to other kinds of rules of international law, ascertainment of customary international law, & the basis of its binding force. The present edition has been updated by considering the most representative practice & literature of the last 30 years. In this connection some problems are more widely discussed than in the previous edition, e.g. the custom-generating effect of treaties & international organizations. The book is based on the principal idea that customary international law, being the most direct outcome of the international reality, should be interpreted primarily in the light of this reality. This original & important work will be of interest to students & teachers of law & political science & scholars & practitioners concerned with international legal problems.Bring, Ove is the author of 'Current International Law Issues Nordic Perspectives Essays in Honour of Jerzy Sztucki' with ISBN 9780792327622 and ISBN 0792327624.
