Jan Paulsson

The Unruly Notion of Abuse of Rights

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Everyone condemns the 'abuse of rights', but it is seldom applied as a rule of decision. This book concludes that except when given context as part of a lex specialis, it is too nebulous, and too likely to lead to arbitrariness, to serve as a general principle of international law.
