Centering on the theme of 'progressiveness', this powerful volume offers important new perspectives on the history, theory and practice of international law. Covering topics of great contemporary relevance such as the use of force, human rights and sovereignty, and offering many important case studies, including the former Yugoslavia, Rwanda and the international courts, this book will be of essential interest to lawyers, historians and political scientists.
