The
use of third-party countermeasures is an increasingly common phenomenon
in international relations, yet their legal position remains uncertain.
Providing the first systematic and comprehensive study of this key
concept in international law, Martin Dawidowicz explores the position of
third-party countermeasures and their safeguards regime based on the
development of ideas on countermeasures in the UN International Law
Commission and a thorough examination of state practice. The book
clarifies the position of third-party countermeasures in international
law, and in doing so challenges some widely held assumptions about the
likely impact of a regime of third-party countermeasures on
international relations. It will be of interest to international law and
relations scholars and students, diplomats, policy makers,
international civil servants and non-governmental organisations (NGOs)
in the field of human rights.
