| Summary |
The book draws heavily on the author's wide practical experience in the fields of international law as well as constitutional law. It is an invaluable work of reference to both constitutional and international lawyers |
|
This book explains with great thoroughness the basic concepts of international law and examines their relevance to the numerous provisions of the Constitution of India which have a bearing on issues of public international law. It offers an impressive evidence of the increasing body of municipal law with which the student of international law is concerned. The book presents a lucid exposition of the attitudes adopted by the Indian courts when deciding cases which involve international law. Where necessary, attention is also devoted to the decisions of the International Court of Justice and the American and English courts. It deals a coup de grace to the doctrine (which still haunts the Indian judiciary) that international law, which the Indian courts ought to understand and apply, is the same as propounded by English courts |
