Recognition in International Law
| Vai alla copia |
Originally published by Hersch Lauterpacht
in 1947, this book presents a detailed study of recognition in international
law, examining its crucial significance in relation to statehood, governments
and belligerency. The author develops a strong argument for positioning
recognition within the context of international law, reacting against the widely
accepted conception of it as an area of international politics. Numerous
examples of the use of law and conscious adherence to legal principle in the
practice of states are used to give weight to this perspective. This paperback
re-issue in 2012 includes a newly commissioned Foreword by James Crawford,
Whewell Professor of International Law at the University of Cambridge and a
Fellow of Jesus College, Cambridge.
