Efficacy of international law. Bibliograpy

Although a horizontal system in terms of authority, international law still functions effectively. The role and scope of international law is expanding as a response to the forces of globalization and interdependence Rule-making is carried out in quasi-legislative fashion through IGOs such as the UN and multilateral conferences Rule-enforcement can be haphazard, especially in security matters, but collectively and individually states have enforcement options Rule-adjudication is impressive with the use of arbitration and the recent growth in courts and tribunals States vary in the pace and manner of incorporating relevant international rules into their domestic context but generally comply with this obligation The vitality of international law suggests that world government is not necessary for an effective global legal system.
