Review of the Encyclopedia of Public International Law

According to the document “Introduction to Research in International Law”, produced by the University of South Carolina Libraries, the Encyclopedia of Public International Law “is the first and only work of its kind to appear in English.

It contains more than 1,300 articles written by authorities on international law from different countries and regions, including entries on all important international legal problems and institutions as well as the major decisions of international courts and tribunals. More than 500 specialist authors world-wide contributed to this work. Public international law covers several areas of paramount interest to all mankind, including the clashes of interest between powerful nation-states and the attempts to resolve those conflicts through law. The Encyclopedia presents the rules according to which international affairs in peace and war are governed; the development of bonds of cooperation, especially today in the form of international organizations; and the existing controls as well as the controversial new frontiers of the regulation of the use of natural resources, including the sea, the air and space. Excellent resource for gaining an overview of a specific topic related to international law.”
