Review of International Law by Anders Henriksen
International Law is a textbook written by Anders Henriksen, a former professor of public international law at the University of Copenhagen and now a member of the Danish Security and Intelligence Service. The book aims to provide a comprehensive and concise introduction to the central issues and debates in public international law, with a focus on European law schools and non-native English-speaking students.
The book covers topics such as the sources and subjects of international law, jurisdiction and immunities, state responsibility, human rights, the use of force, international humanitarian law, international criminal law, environmental law, and the settlement of disputes. It also discusses current events and challenges related to international law, such as Covid-19, climate change, cyber warfare, drone strikes, and self-determination. The book features learning aids such as chapter summaries, central issues boxes, discussion questions, recommended reading, and web links.
The book is praised for its clear and accessible style, its critical perspective on various aspects of international law, and its incorporation of the latest case law from the International Court of Justice and other tribunals. The book is also updated to reflect the most recent developments and controversies in international law, such as the Khashoggi affair, the Skripal-poisoning, the killing of Soleimani, the security laws in Hong Kong, and the peace agreements between Israel and some Arab states.
International Law is an ideal textbook for students taking short, introductory courses on public international law at European law schools. It is also a useful reference for practitioners, scholars, and anyone interested in learning more about the legal framework that governs the relations between states and other actors in the global community.
The book is divided into 12 chapters, each covering a major area of public international law. The first chapter introduces the concept and history of international law, its main characteristics and functions, and its relationship with other legal systems. The second chapter examines the sources of international law, such as treaties, customary law, general principles, and soft law. The third chapter explores the subjects of international law, such as states, international organizations, individuals, and non-state actors.
The fourth chapter deals with the issues of jurisdiction and immunities, such as territorial jurisdiction, extraterritorial jurisdiction, diplomatic immunity, and state immunity. The fifth chapter discusses the rules and principles of state responsibility, such as attribution, breach, circumstances precluding wrongfulness, and remedies. The sixth chapter focuses on the protection of human rights in international law, such as the universal and regional systems of human rights, the main human rights instruments and mechanisms, and the challenges and limitations of human rights enforcement.
The seventh chapter analyzes the rules and doctrines governing the use of force in international law, such as the prohibition of the use of force, the exceptions of self-defense and collective security, the concept of humanitarian intervention, and the responsibility to protect. The eighth chapter reviews the main aspects of international humanitarian law, such as the distinction between jus ad bellum and jus in bello, the classification of armed conflicts, the principles of distinction, proportionality, and necessity, and the protection of civilians and combatants.
The ninth chapter covers the field of international criminal law, such as the definition and elements of international crimes, the jurisdiction and cooperation of national courts, the role and functioning of international criminal tribunals, and the challenges and criticisms of international criminal justice. The tenth chapter addresses the topic of environmental law in international law, such as the sources and principles of environmental law, the main environmental regimes and agreements, and the issues of climate change, biodiversity loss, and environmental damage.
The eleventh chapter explains the methods and mechanisms for the settlement of disputes in international law, such as negotiation, mediation, arbitration, judicial settlement, and other forms of peaceful settlement. The twelfth chapter concludes the book by reflecting on the current state and future prospects of international law in a changing world order. 061ffe29dd
