An Introduction To Public International Law

Since the last edition in 2019, international law has seen major developments, especially in matters of international peace and security. Ongoing conflicts, such as the Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas wars, have exposed the limitations of global institutions like the United Nations. In response, this new edition has been comprehensively revised, with updated and restructured chapters, including a newly added chapter on State Succession. It integrates recent decisions from key international and national legal bodies, offering readers a thorough understanding of evolving global legal norms.

Key Features:

• Fully revised and updated to reflect post-2019 developments in international law.
• New chapter on State Succession.
• In-depth references to rulings from the ICJ, PCA, ICC, ITLOS, and national courts including India.
• Emphasis on current international conflicts and institutional responses.

The book will be suitable for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as researchers, practitioners and political science scholars.
