Dugard's International Law: A South African Perspective - Paperback

by John Dugard (Editor)

This fifth edition of International Law: A South African Perspective is now titled

Dugard's International Law: A South African Perspective, in recognition of the

fact that this work is a continuation of the earlier editions written by John Dugard.

The substance of the work has undergone major changes to take account of

new developments both on the international legal scene and in South Africa.

Dugard's International Law: A South African Perspective presents a South African

perspective of international law. The basic principles of international law are

described and examined with reference to the principal sources of international

law. This examination, however, takes place within the context of South African

law. South African state practice, judicial decisions and legislation on international

law receive equal treatment with international law as it is practised and taught

abroad. The present work is designed to assist judicial officers and practitioners,

educate students, and guide diplomats in the intricacies of international law

both at home in South Africa and abroad.
