Third Parties in International Law

What impact has the accommodation of third party claims and interests had on the traditional bilateral framework for the regulation of international affairs? This volume examines this subject with a detailed analysis of the position of both individual actors within the international arena and the broader international community in three areas of international law--treaties, international procedure of adjudication and arbitration, and the illegal use of force--in order to determine the general position of third parties in international law. Using this perspective, the work discusses current processes for making and the application of international law.
