Synopsis

To every international lawyer, an invitation to deliver the Hague Academy General Course in International Law is a great public honour. In this, the revised text of her lectures, Professor Higgins offers a personal view of international law. The lectures aim to show that there is a choice between the perception of international law as a system of neutral rules and as a system of decision-making directed towards the attainment of certain declared values. The author focuses upon many contemporary issues. The book will be particularly useful to the scholar or student of international law who seeks a better understanding of the subject and who desires to see how the many controversial concepts interrelate.
