Tracing the development of international law from regulating bilateral state-to-state relationships towards the promotion of the international community and the protection of human rights, this book, dedicated to the work of Judge Bruno Simma, forms a significant contribution to the theory and practice of international law. Published by the good people of Oxford University Press, this magnificent tribute to Judge Simma is more than 1300 pages long.

It is carefully edited and beautifully presented...it is indeed a gem and a fitting tribute to an extraordinary man
