Reviews

Ademola Abass has succeeded in creating a book that is unique in its pedagogical approach and comprehensive coverage.
*Times Higher Education*

Review from previous edition One of the most comprehensive international law books on the market and the first to combine text, cases and materials. What makes it stand out is the ability of the author to simplify difficult concepts and make them easy to understand.
*Ilias Bantekas, Professor of International Law, Brunel University*

This text is the gateway to mastering international law. Professor Abass provides a thorough, in-depth, and student-friendly introduction to the subject. A compelling read.
