A good book.... but not a international law bible

Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2005

Ian brownlies'principles is a good survey of international law, but don't expect a full overview of international law. It lacks some deep exploration some parts, but well it is a principle book.

At last: its a survey about some of the main instituts of international law, in a direct, objective style of writting.

PS: For non common law student's, this is a basic, very basic course with some good points.

Good read

Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2008

Supposedly Brownlie's the leader in international law treatises. I didn't find exactly what I needed, though. it's more like an encyclopedia of int'l law...very general.

but Brownlie says...

Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2000

As mentioned by other reviewers, to even consider undertaking Jessup moot court competition, or any other major project in international law without first turning to Brownlie is to miss one of the most comprehensive texts on public international law. There are those of us who have comprehensively silenced arguments on a point of law with the phrase ' but Brownlie says...'. No international law collection is complete without this text.

The most authoritative, yet quite challenging for biginners

Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2002

No doubt that this book is one of the most authoritative and orthodox textbooks in this field. With prolific cases and legal reasoning, this book offers a clear and profound understanding on "principles of international law," especially its Sources, Jurisdictions, and subjects, and basic theories thereof. A must have for those majoring in international law, I should say.
As for beginners, however, this book might seem quite challenging. A better-balanced structure would make Prof. Brownlie¡¯s book look all the more perfect; despite its overwhelming reasoning and theories, the book somewhat lacks in such topics as the ICC and law of war. For beginners who want to learn general aspects of international law, I would rather recommend Prof. Peter Malanczuk¡¯s ¡°Akehurst¡¯s modern introduction of international law,¡± or Prof. Malcolm Shaw¡¯s ¡°International Law.¡±

Brownlie remains a standard in the study of international law. Not only is it an excellent text in itself, but the copious citations make it a very valuable research tool. Having had a long association with the Jessup International Law Moot Court competition, I highly recommend this text to all students preparing for the Jessup. Its inclusion as part of the research process should be considered a must.

A fairly worn book and many marks on the book.

I will be very careful purchasing any used book in the future as this book is pretty disappointing to me.

この本には日本語訳がありますが、噂通りに誤訳でした。一行目のラテン語のタイトルから間違っていたため、英文の前に読むとしたら、山本草二先生の国際法が良いでしょう。内容というより英語のレベルは、長いところでピリオドが１１行もありませんでした。英字新聞ならば辞書を使いながら読めますが、この本は国際法の用語が頭に入っていなければ、不可能です。内容は、基本的な国際法のことです。文法がとてもきれいでした。これが読めれば英字新聞の社説の内容がよくわかるようになると思います。
