Recognition of Governments in International Law: With Particular Reference to Governments in Exile

Front Cover
Clarendon Press, 1998 - Language Arts & Disciplines - 393 pages
Based on an analysis of the diplomatic practice of States, and on the decisions of national and international courts, this book explores the different meanings of the term 'recognition' and its variants in international law as used in the context of recognition of governments. Little has been written in this field in recent years and this book is an important contribution to the current literature as it contains up to date information, analysis and decisions. The author examines the effect of recognition on the legal status of foreign authorities, particularly of those authorities in exile which are recognized as a government. In so doing, he uses material which is of significant historical interest, as well as highly topical material, such as recent developments in Angola, Cambodia, Panama, Kuwait and Haiti. Talmon's book will, as a result, hold great appeal for international law scholars and practitioners alike.
