Description

This book brings together the updated papers presented at a conference to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the conclusion of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties. The collection consists of nine articles by prominent scholars, who are all in some way related to the Lauterpacht Centre for International Law at Cambridge University. As the interplay between state responsibility and treaty law becomes more and more important, a book dealing with this topic cannot fail to be of interest.
