Details

International Organizations and the Law addresses the laws relating to international organizations, their undertakings, and the ways in which specific international organizations function and interact with one another.

Assuming little background knowledge of international law, the book brings together key issues in international law and the history of international organizations in a cohesive manner, providing readers with a clear understanding of international organizations' law in context. It addresses topics such as:

organization functions and structure
membership and membership powers
the rights of international organizations
dispute settlement in international organizations
termination of an international organization

The second edition has been fully revised and updated to include coverage of: the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the functions of international organizations, the invasion of Ukraine and the stresses placed on the UN, NATO and the international community, increased efforts in the climate change sector as well as the overhaul of the NAFTA system, and the impact of Brexit.
