Small States and International Law
International law can serve as both a sword and a shield for small States, including in the realisation of their rights on the international plane. While it can offer a mode of protection to small States and provide opportunities to engage with issues of global concern, international law also presents challenges and difficulties for small States in some contexts. The chapters in this edited volume explore small States’ many and diverse interactions with international law in numerous contexts and fora and across a range of thematic areas and issues, including climate change, disarmament, technological development and human rights, amongst many others.
