'Jeremy Hill's deep expertise and safe hands guide us through a much needed refresh to an essential desk guide for anyone involved or interested in the treaty drafting and making process. At a time of growing nationalism, this book is a timely reminder of how interconnected and interdependent our world is, and the role of treaties to help address global challenges that transcend boundaries.' Rashmin Sagoo, Director of the International Law Programme, Chatham House
