Shaw Sixth Edition","Clear, authoritative introduction to international law by Malcolm N. Shaw, presented in a revised edition updated through Spring 2003. The text preserves a successful structure while expanding coverage of Interstate Courts and Tribunals, emphasizing the International Court of Justice and the Law of the Sea Tribunal, and adding a dedicated chapter on International Humanitarian Law. It examines arbitration tribunals, the dispute-resolving role of institutions such as the WTO, individual criminal responsibility for international law violations, and case-based analysis of humanitarian intervention, including Kosovo and Iraq, grounded in world politics and relevant economic and cultural influences.","New Edition of the leading textbook…  \nInternational Law  \nFIFTH EDITION  \nMALCOLM N . SHAW  \n[For further details go to](For further details go to www.cambridge.org/law/shaw)[ www.cambridge.org/law/shaw](For further details go to www.cambridge.org/law/shaw)  \nINTERNATIONAL LAW FIFTH EDITION  \nThis fifth edition of Malcolm Shaw’s bestselling textbook on international law provides a clear, authoritative and comprehensive introduction to the subject. This leading text has been fully revised and updated to Spring 2003 to take account of new developments in the field. Basically preserving the structure which made the previous edition so successful, a new chapter on Inter-state Courts and Tribunals pays special attention to the role of the International Court of Justice and the International Tribunal on the Law of the Sea, and there is a new chapter on International Humanitarian Law. Also examined are arbitration tribunals set up for dispute settlement and the role of international institutions such as the WTO in resolving conflicts. The prosecution of individuals for violations of international law is examined. Additional coverage of events in Kosovo and Iraq analyses the questions of humanitarian intervention and the role of the UN. Written in a clear and accessible style and setting the subject firmly in the context of world politics and the economic and cultural influences affecting it, this book remains a highly readable and invaluable resource for students and practitioners alike. The scope of the text makes this essential reading for students of international law, international relations and the political sciences. The book is also designed to be of value for practitioners and for governmental and international civil servants.  \nmalcolm shaw qc is the Sir Robert Jennings Professor of International Law at the University of Leicester, and a practising barrister.  \nINTERNATIONAL LAW  \nFifth edition  \nMALCOLM N .
