Review Quotes:
"Kolb has an obvious and assured mastery of the Charter and its history and, what is equally important in an introductory work of this type, a good sense of when to summarise routine or obsolete subjects and when to 'dig in' and explore the most interesting topics in greater detail.
There is much of value here and ... I would ... recommend it for use by undergraduate public international law students and graduate students who require a general introduction to the Charter." --Mike Sanderson, International and Comparative Law Quarterly, Volume 59, Part 4,
