International Law by Gurdip Singh offers an authoritative and stimulating overview of this important subject, revealing its full diversity. The new fourth edition has been fully revised and updated to include all recent developments.

The book is divided into two parts.

• Part I, ”Peace”, deals with the law of peace and covers the development, nature, and sources of international law, as well as its relation to municipal law, the position of individuals, recognition, State responsibility, acquisition or loss of territorial sovereignty, treaties, jurisdictional immunities, diplomatic and consular relations, and the law of the sea.
• Part II, ”Conflict Resolution, War, Neutrality, and Human Rights”, covers diplomatic conflict resolution, arbitration, the International Court of Justice, the United Nations, peacekeeping operations, methods short of war, war, economic warfare, nuclear warfare, space warfare, and the implementation of human rights and International Criminal Court.

Recent events, such as the ongoing aggression from Russia in eastern Ukraine, which has sparked fears of a potential third world war, are also addressed.

The book analyses and evaluates contemporary trends in international law to determine whether the interests of developed and developing states have been balanced. Additionally, it provides an account of Indian interests, policies, and laws to assess their compatibility with international standards. This book will prove immensely useful to law students, teachers, researchers, diplomats, lawyers, judges, and students preparing for competitive examinations.
