More Description

This book contains various materials from basic documents and cases on international institutional law. It is prepared primarily as a tool to assist students and others interested in the field in their study and work. The documents that are included will provide information and enable study and discussion on the main questions of international institutional law, such as membership, internal structure, powers, dispute settlement, decision-making, responsibility, and financing. Divided into two main sections, Part One of the book contains constituent documents of a number of international public organizations, including the United Nations (UN), the International Labor Organization (ILO), the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), the European Union (EU), and the World Trade Organization (WTO). The documents are selected either because of their representativeness or uniqueness of their institutional aspects. Also included are some general documents on international organizations and more specific ones, such as the statutes of administrative tribunals. Part Two includes a selection of judicial cases considered by international courts (the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia), regional courts (the European Court of Human Rights and the European Court of Justice), and national courts (both Dutch and the UK).
