Community Interests Across International Law
 |
| Anteprima |
This
book explores the extent to which contemporary international law
expects states to take into account the interests of others - namely
third states or their citizens - when they form and implement their
policies, negotiate agreements, and generally conduct their relations
with other states. It systematically considers the various
manifestations of what has been described as 'community interests' in
many areas regulated by international law and observes how the law has
evolved from a legal system based on more or less specific consent and
aimed at promoting particular interests of states, to one that is more
generally oriented towards collectively protecting common interests and
values. Through essays by experts in the field, this book explores
topics such as the sources of international law and the institutional
aspects of developing the law and covers a range of areas within the
law.
