Cambridge University Press, 2011. — 463 p. — ISBN: 978-0-521-19666-6 (hardback)Cambridge studies in international and comparative law; 75.Kate Parlett's monograph on the individual in the international legal system examines the way in which individuals have come to have a certain status in international law, from the first treaties conferring rights and capacities on individuals through to the present day, including very recent developments in human rights law and international investment law. It focusses on international claims processes, humanitarian law, international criminal law and human rights law and, reflecting on comprehensive analysis which cuts across all of these fields, draws conclusions about structural change in the international legal system.Examines how the international legal system changed from a system focused exclusively on inter-state relations to a system in which individuals have a certain status, using a chronological approach which provides the reader with an accurate and insightful overview
Covers a broad range of areas, thus permitting conclusions to be drawn about the international legal system as a whole
Critiques the doctrine of subjects in international law and dispels certain myths about structural development which have been generally accepted in orthodox scholarshipContents
