International Law and Human Rights

......................................................................................................................................
Description
In the twenty-second edition, the book has been thoroughly revised, improved and brought up-to-date. In this edition, current national and international events have been critically discussed and analysed. These events include cases relating to Kulbhushan Jadhav- decision of International Court of Justice, response of Pakistan thereon, and India again going to International Court of Justice-China's expansionist policy in South China Sea, conflict between America and Iran, especially in relation to killing of General Sulemani of Iran, Covid-19, India and China conflict in Ladakh and China's expansionist policy in Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, and abrogation of Article 370 and Article 35A of the Constitution. Twenty Second Edition of the book will immensely benefit the students of Law (LL.B. and LL.M.), students pursuing International Studies, International Relations, Defence studies International Organisations, and Human Rights. It also seeks to benefit candidates appearing for competitive examinations such as Central Civil Services and Provincial Civil Services Examination. Throughout the revision work, my wife and children have been the constant source of inspiration. My publishers also deserve credit for publishing and releasing the book in an elegant manner.
