A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The greatest possible honor for an international lawyer is to be invited to deliver the Hague Academy General Course in International Law. Rosalyn Higgins was so honored and this volume is the revised text of the lectures she delivered there. Its purpose is to show that there is an essential and unavoidable choice to be made between the perception of international law as either a system of neutral rules or as a system of decision-making directed towards the attainment of specific declared values. This book focuses on resolving this in addition to many other difficult and unanswered issues in contemporary international law.

Biographie de l'auteur :

Rosalyn Higgins QC is also author of UN Peacekeeping 1946-1967: Documents and Commentary (OUP, vols 3 & 4 still in print, 1981)
