Blog: Courting International Law
This blog is an attempt to examine the manner in which Governments around the world treat International Law standards. The ambition is to shed light on the inconsistent treatment of commonly agreed yardsticks, while also appreciating where States take active steps toward complying with their obligations under International Law.
