Reviews

an original and groundbreaking source of international legal scholarship...This thorough, scholarly treatise is bound to become a standard...Highly recommended for graduate students and faculty. Choice this work provides a vision for the future development of international law and institutions and ends with a challenge to both scholars and practitioners to take up the issue of fairness in the law actively. International Affairs ...a work of considerable scholarship and vitality...Franck is challenging us to develop a new way of thinking about international law. I will have to read this book a second time, perhaps a third, to take in all that Franck offers, but that will be a pleasure not a burden. The Cambridge Law Journal
