International Law

'At a time of rapid change, a new edition of Malcolm Shaw's invaluable book deserves the widest welcome.' Christopher Greenwood, Master of Magdalene College, Cambridge, and former British Judge at the International Court of Justice

'Remarkably, for such a lengthy and wide-ranging text, this remains one of the most readable books on the subject – the distillation of Professor Shaw's lifetime in the front rank of the teaching and practice of international law.' Vaughan Lowe Q. C., Barrister at Essex Court Chambers, Emeritus Fellow of All Souls College, University of Oxford

'Since the appearance of its first edition, Shaw's International Law has been my preferred textbook in my international law class. To this day it remains comprehensive, clear, and well organized, offering both depth and breadth, both the forest and the trees. The ninth edition offers yet again an updated, accurate and well-balanced account of the recent developments in the law.' Eyal Benvenisti, Whewell Professor of International law and the Director of the Lauterpacht Centre for International Law, University of Cambridge

'Shaw's International Law has always been characterised by its clarity of expression, incisive analysis, and breath of coverage. This new edition is no exception. It is one of those rare works of international law that is essential reading for the Judge, practitioner, academic and student alike.' Dan Sarooshi QC, Professor of Public International Law, University of Oxford, and Essex Court Chambers, London
