Selected Essays on Understanding International Institutions and the Legislative Process

In the realm of the law of international organisations and treaty law, few commentators have made a more significant contribution than Paul C. Szasz. In his years of distinguished service at the U.N., and in his subsequent career as a prominent consultant to international institutions, he has mastered a highly specialised body of knowledge that allows him to study the inner and outer workings of the international legislative, administrative, and judicial processes with unique and compelling authority. His incisive essays, always deeply informed with first-hand experience, have gone directly to the heart of the most vital international legal issues of our time. This volume gathers twenty-one essays that will be of inestimable value to the entire community of public international lawyers. Specific facts and events -- such as the US action in the 1988 PLO mission controversy, developments in the safeguards regime of the International Atomic Energy Agency, the Kosovo Conflict, the Dayton Accords, and the Namibian peace process -- provide a firm topical basis for the author's analysis of policy, practice, and theory in this little-understood but crucially important area of international governance.Szasz, Paul C. is the author of 'Selected Essays on Understanding International Institutions and the Legislative Process' with ISBN 9781571051172 and ISBN 1571051171.
