This new edition is a comprehensive manual of the rules of procedure for the conduct of business at the UN General Assembly, at international conferences and at assemblies of inter-governmental organisations such as the IAEA, ICAO, ILO, IMO and WHO. It examines the legal basis of these rules, the history of their development and the attempts at their codification. At the heart of the book is an examination of the practical applications of rules of procedure. Sabel also considers whether certain procedural rules and applications have become so well established that they have now attained the status of customary international law. The book is of interest to those involved in international law, international relations and international organisations. It also serves as a practical manual for delegates to the UN General Assembly and to international conferences.

Reviews & endorsements
From reviews of the first edition: 'Overall, the book is a very useful compilation of precedents and may even be an indispensable reference work for diplomats and others following the inner workings of international conferences.' Philip Alston, The American Journal of International Law
See more reviews'The work as a whole is reliable and clear and Ambassador Sabel has performed a valuable service to the international community in writing it.' Maurice Mendelson, European Journal of International Law
'Dr Sabel has performed a most remarkable service to the doctrine and practice of international law alike. His book is in fact a handbook of the rules of procedure applicable to international conferences which participants at such conferences will, in the future, ignore at their peril. It may safely be predicted that it will, in due course, become, for representatives at international conferences, the standard companion manual to the rules of procedure themselves and will guide representatives in their conduct of procedural business.' Yehuda Z. Blum, Israel Law Review
