Opis

Analysis of the 2015 Resolution adopted by the Institute of International Law on state succession in matters of state responsibility.

Recenzje

'The book … fills a major lacuna in the law of State succession. The Institut de droit international put the subject of State succession in the matter of State responsibility on its agenda in 2003 and selected professor Marcelo Kohen as rapporteur of the commission in 2007. In the meantime Professor Kohen supervised the substantial dissertation of Patrick Dumberry on the same matter. On the enlightening and efficient direction of professor Kohen the Commission succeeded in preparing a substantial and well structured resolution which was adopted by the Institut at its Tallin session (2015). This resolution, which is presented and commented in the present book, shows that the Institut has a modest but solid role in the codification of international law. The analysis offered by two eminent specialists offer to governments and practitioners the opportunity to obtain nuanced answers to the questions generated by this complex subject.'
