5.0 out of 5 starsThe United Nations....
By Phillip Taylor MBE on November 29, 2013
Format: Hardcover
Length: 0:36 Mins


A CUP HALF EMPTY, OR HALF FULL?

An appreciation by Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers

In the compilation and editing of this scholarly two-volume work, published by the Oxford University Press, the learned editors state that their central objective is to prepare a commentary on the United Nations which tells its story `as faithfully as possible.'

Referencing the subtitle, the Commentary is the joint product of the work of no less than seventy-four authors, approximately two-thirds of whom, interestingly, hail from German universities and institutions, with much of the team effort ably coordinated by Assistant Editor Nikolai Wessendorf.

If you as a lawyer, academic, journalist or researcher ever find yourself in some kind of controversy, dispute, debacle or debate regarding the U.N. and/or the Charter of that body, this is the work of reference to which to turn.

As most people would agree, the aim of the UN is to promulgate and maintain world peace. On any number of occasions it appears to have failed in that attempt (as the `cup half-empty' brigade would noisily remind you) - largely because of the limitations of its charter. But that in no way diminishes its value. Indeed the world community of nations would be diminished without it. But here we take the relentlessly optimistic `cup half-full' view, which we believe this formidable work of reference engenders.

Copiously footnoted and indexed, it is indeed a mine of reference resources for scholars and researchers and certainly specialists in the field of international law.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsThe definitive commentary on the UN Charter.
By Francisrocco on June 15, 2013
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
The latest edition of this commentary is just as good as the previous two, and it is highly recommended. Both the comments by the learned authors and the bibliography are excellent. Buy with confidence
