International Law and Human Rights

...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Description
It is a matter of great pleasure for me in presenting the Twenty-Second edition of the book. The book, like the earlier editions, is divided into two parts. Part I deals with the traditional as well as modern topics of International Law. Human rights has been exclusively dealt in Part II in order to fulfil the needs of the students. A number of conventions and treaties which have been adopted in the recent past have been discussed at appropriate places. Recent judgments of the International Court of Justice have also been referred to where required. The book has been thoroughly revised and updated. The book is useful not only to LL.B. and LL.M. students but to the students of Political Science and Military Science as well. It is equally useful to the candidates appearing in the competitive examinations and to all those who are interested in the study of International Law, International Organisations, Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law.
