A completely updated edition of a definitive survey of the
peaceful settlement of disputes - a key aspect of international law
and international relations. Many methods of handling such disputes
have been developed, and this book explains what the relevant
techniques and institutions are, how they work and when they are
used. Separate chapters cover the various diplomatic methods
negotiation, mediation, inquiry and conciliation, the legal
methods arbitration and judicial settlement, the special
arrangements for disputes concerning trade or the law of the sea,
and the role of the United Nations and regional organisations. The
strengths and limitations of each method are illustrated with
numerous examples taken from international practice. This new
edition deals with many current developments, including the latest
UN peace-keeping operations, the work of the WTO and of the
International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, and the latest
case-law of the International Court of Justice.
