Law and Practice of the United Nations: Documents and Commentary combines primary materials with expert commentary demonstrating the interaction between law and practice in the UN organization, as well as the possibilities and limitations of multilateral institutions in general. Each chapter begins with a short introductory essay describing how the documents that ensue illustrate a set of legal, institutional, and political issues relevant to the practice of diplomacy and the development of public international law through the United Nations. Each chapter also includes questions to guide discussion of the primary materials, and a brief bibliography to facilitate further research on the subject.
This second edition addresses the most challenging issues confronting the United Nations and the global community today, from terrorism to climate change, from poverty to nuclear proliferation. New features include hypothetical fact scenarios to test the understanding of concepts in each chapter. This edition contains expanded author commentary, while maintaining the focus on primary materials. Such materials enable a realistic presentation of the work of international diplomacy: the negotiation, interpretation and application of such texts are an important part of what actually takes place at the United Nations and other international organizations.
This work is ideal for courses on the United Nations or International Organizations, taught in both law and international relations programs.

Too expensive for not being very digestible
Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2021
Good summaries of the UN charter, laws, regulations, and treaties. There have been different eras, paradigms, or prevailing majorities at the UN. Lately, since 2000, security matters overtake development and human well-being. New campaigners should be drafting proposed UN laws and circulating the proposals among parliaments and embassies. Currently, the US decreases nation building and democracy promotion. The slack can be picked up at the UN. Proposals are key. They will not always succeed, but debate will be advanced, and eventually some new laws will be made and other laws will be amended. US politicians have been unable to offer many reforms, partly because they confuse oaths to the Constitution and fear of contradicting any US law with sufficient and proper public service at the UN. Also, the US Supreme Court avoids many UN challenges and discussion of UN law, because of structural weaknesses or individual fear of being a maverick.
