The Series publishes legal commentaries, primarily article-by-article but occasionally with a thematic structure, on international treaties and conventions. Analyses of specific provisions of treaties address their drafting history as well as subsequent state practice and case law. Contributions from the world's leading scholars and practitioners combined with high-quality indexing make these indispensable works for understanding international law and practice.
General Editors: Philip Alston, Professor of International Law at New York University, and Vaughan Lowe, Chichele Professor of Public International Law at the University of Oxford and Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford (Professor Robert Howse is the general editor of the sub-series entitled Oxford Commentaries on the GATT/WTO Agreements.)
