First published in 1970, A Modern Introduction to International Law rapidly established itself as the most widely used and successful textbook in its field. This sixth  edition has now been completely revised and updated to take  account of many new developments. A Modern Introduction to International Law covers a variety of topics, from diplomatic immunity to human rights, and from recognition of government to war crimes. The book is original in several respects. The author is particularly concerned with the relationship between international law and international politics, and he devotes special attention to such controversial topics as self- determination and the expropriation of foreign-owned property where the conflicting interests and attitudes of different states are most apparent.

Routledge

Knowledge of community law is often inadequate and British businesses have lost many opportunities as a result. This book describes and analyses the legal rules which apply to, or effect, parallel imports, a subject of commercial importance to those engaged in manufacturing who need to protect both themselves or their exclusive distributors. The book is aimed at all those whose companies export to Europe, and their legal advisors.

Genocide: the systematic annihilation of a group of people for simply being who they are, whether in ethnic, religious or social terms. It has been with us since the beginning of history. The most widely-studied and catastrophic examples are, however, historically close: the Nazi Holocaust against the Jew, ethnic cleansing in Bosnia, and tribal warfare in Rwanda. Genocide is unfortunately a key feature of the study of world history at nearly every level. The Encyclopedia of Genocide and Crimes against Humanity spans the globe to explain the issues behind crimes against humanity and human rights issues as they relate to individual countries and the world at large. It traces the history of events that qualify as genocide and crimes against humanity, profiles perpetrators and heroes, and explains international laws and law proceedings aimed at ending genocide and crimes against humanity at specific groups or at least punishing those who have committed such crimes.
