Publisher's Synopsis
All the significant documentary sources of international law are arranged according to the categories in which international law has developed in this comprehensive, nine-volume set.The instruments are drawn from the declarations, resolutions, statutes and conventions of organizations both global and regional, as well as from multilateral treaties.
The five broad categories include:
Constitutive/Organic (Volume 1)
War/Peace (Volumes 2 & 2A)
Human Rights/Social Justice (Volumes 3 & 3A)
Trade/Development (Volumes 4 & 4A)
Earth-Space Environment (Volumes 5 & 5A)
The categorical divisions and subdivisions make it easy for a student, lawyer or paralegal to find all the international law instruments that might affect a particular case or problem. Within subdivisions, documents are ordered geographically and chronologically, and dependent instruments appear together with their parent instruments.
Easy to use and wide ranging in scope, the looseleaf format and regular supplementation make International Law and World order particularly valuable-and economical for law libraries, since updates include new documents and instruments as well as revision and update of existing material. This volume describes the procedures governing the transfer of sentenced foreign nationals from the United States to serve the remainder of their sentences in their native countries, and of United States nationals sentenced in foreign countries to serve the remainder of their sentences in the United States. It discusses the statutory and treaty framework regulating the transfer of sentenced persons to and from the United States, as well as the case law interpreting those statutes and treaties. Appendices contain United States statutes and regulations, U.S. Department of Justice Manual materials, and all treaties governing the transfer of prisoners to and from the United States. Launched in 1994, and supplemented on a regular basis, this looseleaf collection has been updated to September 2009.
