International Law: Process and ProspectDoes international law exist, and is it real? How can the law of individual human rights be accommodated in an international legal system that is apparently addressed to nations and not to individuals? These are among the provocative questions grappled with in this highly articulate, enlightening and refreshing book. With an eye toward the 21st century, Anthony D'Amato provides a provocative tool for students and practitioners of international law. He draws on his experience to produce a highly lucid examination of the issues arising out of the process of intranational law formation and justification as applied to, and shaped by, some of the critical international issues of our day. |
