Details

This comprehensive Research Handbook provides an outline of how the norms of international law are enforced and evaded by national and international authorities. Leading experts explore how international law is and ought to be enforced, in support of a more legitimate, effective, and just global order.

The authors describe how the norms of international law are enforced by national and international tribunals and authorities. They consider the enforcement of human rights law, the law of armed conflict, international criminal law, international environmental law, international economic law, and the law of the sea across jurisdictions, drawing on case studies from Asia, Africa, Europe, and North and South America.

The book is a crucial resource for scholars and students of international law, environmental law, and comparative law. It will be a valuable resource for legal practitioners, policymakers, and social activists.
