Why should sovereign states obey international law? In this groundbreaking study Fernando Tesón argues that an overlapping respect for human rights has created a moral common ground among the countries of the world. It is this common set of values rather than self-interest that ultimately provides legitimacy to international law. Using the tools of moral philosophy Tesón analyzes the concepts of sovereignty, intervention, and national interest; the contributions of social contact theory, game theory, and feminist theory; and the puzzles of self-determination and group rights.

Brilliant

Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2001

Professor Tesón's book is just excellent. He offers a whole new perspective of International Law. Apart form being perfectly clear and suscint, A Philosophy of International Law analyzes the classic and modern topics in a previously unseen way. Anyone interested on world affairs should read this book.
