About the Author

Stefan Talmon is currently undergoing the compulsory two-year training period which is required in Germany for law graduates to qualify as barristers, solicitors or judges. He has written widely on the topic of 'recognition' in International Law.

Reviews

by exhaustively documenting and analysing State practice with respect to governments in exile, Talmon provides an extremely valuable contribution to the academic discussion of the various effects recognition might entail. His specific survey of rights States have attributed to governments in exile will moreover serve as a helpful reference for courts and practitioners.
