International Law and Political Reality
Collected Papers: Volume One
Author:
Among the topics that DâAmato examines in these studies of the interrelationship between international law and political reality are wars and war crimes, nuclear weapons and technology, sanctions and terrorism, covert and humanitarian intervention, and group and autonomy rights. This is the first volume in a series of collected papers.
Tony DâAmato is among the leading lights of the younger school of writers on international law in the English language. His contribution to the jurisprudence of international law and his comments on specific issues show an active and analytical mind of the highest order. His decision to bring together a number of [his] contributions in these volumes is to be welcomed and should constitute a valuable addition to the current literature in this increasingly important field of law.
According to the Foreword written by L.C. Green.
`Grotius combined a fierce hostility toward war and a coolly instrumental orientation toward its mitigation. Just as it was for Grotius, D'Amato's overriding concern is the human cost of war. Grotius immersed himself in the affairs of his time: natural justice meets its test in what people do to each other and what we all do about it. My sketch of Grotius fits D'Amato better than any other English-writing international legal scholar today. It is the cumulative effect of D'Amato's great body of work â paper after paper, volume upon volume â that warrants attention, now and far into the future.'
