To meet the challenge of a universally recognized rule of law, one needs to understand how and why nations and regions approach international law in different ways. This refreshing collection of essays on comparative international law examines what is vaguely perceived to be true but not acknowledged: that there are major variations in state practice when giving effect to international obligations. * Gillian Triggs, Emeritus Professor, Sydney Law School, and former President, Australian Human Rights Commission * This well-structured volume assembles an impressive roster of contributions to the intriguing new field of comparative international law. * Judge Joan Donoghue, International Court of Justice This publication is an important step in the development of comparative international law and it is likely to be highly influential in both the study and the practice of the law. *
