Description:
Identification of Customary International Law elaborates on the methodology for the identification of rules of customary international law and examines a host of questions concerning the process and evidence at issue. It complements the authoritative work of the ILC on this issue and draws upon a wealth of additional practice and writings.
Review Quotes: "The book succeeds in providing a clear, focused account of a highly technical area of international law, effectively synthesising an impressive volume of practice and scholarship, while adding more detailed analysis of issues not covered by, or only touched on in, the ILC's work. ..the authors have succeeded in producing that rare thing: an accomplished academic work that is sufficiently clear and accessible to be read by students studying the sources of international law for the first time and which will be a useful text for practitioners, but which also includes analysis of more complex debates within the subject, and detailed references to practice and literature, such as to make it a valuable research resource for scholars." -- Katie A.
