General Principles of Law as Applied by International Courts and Tribunals

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

If the general principles of law are not to run the risk of being exploited as an ideological cloak for self-interest, their scope and substance must be clearly defined and understood. Here, Cheng aims to inquire into the practical application of these principles by international courts and tribunals.
