Cambridge University Press, 2007. — 547 p.A new edition of a book first published in 2000. Written from the viewpoint of an experienced practitioner, it provides a comprehensive account of the law of treaties. As such, it is the first, and only, book ofits kind. Aust provides a wealth ofexamples ofthe problems experienced with treaties on a daily basis, not just when they are the subject of a court case. The numerous precedents from treaties and other treaty-related documents are invaluable for the practitioner. The book aims to supply the reader with a full understanding of treaties. Technical language is avoided as far as possible, making the book accessible to non-lawyers. Although not primarily an academic work, there is still plenty to interest and inform students and academics, including those specialising in political science, international relations or diplomacy.
