More DescriptionCo-published by Oxford University Press and the International Law Institute, and prepared by the Office of the Legal Adviser at the Department of State, the Digest of United States Practice in International Law presents an annual compilation of documents and commentary highlighting significant developments in public and private international law.
The 2011 edition covers various developments that occurred during the course of the year, including the State Department's activities in response to the "Arab Awakening" in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Bahrain, and elsewhere. Other topics covered include the State Department's efforts to pursue compliance with international law in the domestic law context, such as in promotion of domestic legislation that would comply with the decision of the International Court of Justice in Avena, and in the filing of amicus briefs in the U.S. Supreme Court, e.g., in Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum.
