It has been fully revised and updated to include all recent developments in the subject, and contains a new chapter on terrorism as well as extensive revision of the section on state responsibility. Providing a comprehensive commentary on international law as a whole, it compares the traditional legal position with the developing and evolving law in a way that is sensitive to political and economic considerations, as well as including detailed yet accessible examinations of state responsibility and international criminal law. The late Professor Cassese was a leading figure in the field, and this new edition takes full advantage of his extensive experience to provide a more personal approach to the subject than is typically found in the standard textbook, acting as good intellectual exercise for the stronger student UR - http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip0422/2004020238.html UR - http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0616/2004020238-d.html UR - http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0725/2004020238-b.html ER -
