An Australian Perspective

This new edition of the respected textbook Public International Law: An Australian Perspective has been fully revised and provides an authoritative account of international law from an Australian perspective. This text clearly and concisely outlines principles of international law within the political framework in which they operate, and highlights the crucial legal aspects of Australia's place in the modern word. It provides an up-to-date account of the legal foundations for the way nations behave, and contains extensive examples of Australian practice and policy in international law. The format follows that of the first edition, but has been updated to take full account of recent major developments in the last seven years, including the use of force, the role of the United Nations, human rights, and international criminal jurisdiction. Public International Law: An Australian Perspective 2e, explains these developments and specifically draws attention to the Australian dimension, by discussing Australian practice and by showing how these changes impact on Australia. This is the only general international law text that deliberately exploits the Australian dimension and each chapter is written by an acknowledged expert in international law.
